I do smoke cannabis, yes. I am however unable to say that it doesn't ever cause me any adverse effects. I would also like to say that the quantities of such a drug consumed make big differences. The age at which a person begins smoking cannabis also makes a key difference.

As cannabis is still to be trialled medicinally here in the UK, I cannot recommend it as its not been proven to be safe when used by people with certain illnesses. I think it's important to remember that THC is a drug and it could perhaps therefore have potential interactions with other drugs - much like over-the-counter and prescription drugs.

I don't particularly have strong views regarding cannabis; I have strong views regarding trials and testing of anything that may be used medicinally (such as cannabis). I would welcome medicinal cannabis here with open arms because I'd know it has been thoroughly tested like any other medication.

I said its a huge no because of the risks it COULD present, risks and interactions that can only be observed through thorough clinical trials.

I've seen the good of cannabis use but also the bad, the very bad.
