   I know a couple who have smoked dope everyday for 32 yrs and they are in   
   their sixties now. They are slim/very fit and have all their mental   
   faculties intact.   
   The real problem is alcohol but the government completely skip over the   
   dangers.   
   The highest (by far) cause of violence is caused by the misuse of drink.   
   The A & E stats back this fact up.   
   The government is completely out of touch,they have no idea.
