Comments on: 6 UK Cops Accused of Waterboarding Pot Suspects http://stash.norml.org/6-uk-cops-accused-of-waterboarding-pot-suspects The Growing Truth About Cannabis Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:08:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charlie http://stash.norml.org/6-uk-cops-accused-of-waterboarding-pot-suspects/comment-page-1#comment-29257 Charlie Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:34:47 +0000 http://stash.norml.org/?p=9171#comment-29257 I know man. I'm born and raised in the UK, and the government and media won't shut the fuck up about this "super skunk" that is supposedly driving the little kiddies insane. If the media is so sure that our streets are awash with weed "20X stronger than average cannabis plants", then they should direct me as to where exactly it is: not a single pothead I know has a clue what these fuckers are on. Maybe they took all the reeeaaally psychosis causing weed for themselves? Anyways, cousins from across the sea, keep up the fight. You have no idea how my heart lifts every time another state decriminalises. Be lucky, be free. I know man.

Or what most people refer to as "pot". Like you said, your average good Cali bud. “Skunk” is supposedly Super Pot 2.0 that is 7x, 20x, or even 400x more powerful than the pot in the 1970′s.

I had a hard time believe this story too until I read it myself. What is going on in England ? Did these cops take a page from Bush's torture handbook ? What the hell is all this talk about super 'skunk' pot that only seems to be in England ? They showed some in the National Geographic Channel movie "Marijuana Nation" and it looks like brown hash or dirty mexican weed(not being racist). Ive talked to people in England and they dont even know what the govt is calling "skunk", other than what you would find in your average Cali med shop. Did some evil scientist genetically make some bad cannabis or is it just your average good Cali bud ? Does anyone know ? Cannabis smokers = Al Qaeda ?

Do you know what a hyperlink is ? Click on the hyperlink that says 'London Police Accused Of Water Torture', it will bring you to Sky New's website. Sky News titled the article "Six Scotland Yard officers have been suspended over allegations of "waterboarding" drug suspects". If your looking for what drug they are talking about click on the hyperlink 'UK TimesOnline' and read, yes they say cannabis ! So now who is the one that needs to distance themselves from cannabis law reform ? Wow. :-P Do you know how to read ? Do you know what a hyperlink is ?

Police said they found a large amount of <strong>cannabis</strong> and the suspects were charged with importation of a Class C drug." Did you forget that Britain didn't <a href="http://stash.norml.org/uk-cannabis-law-change-illogical/" rel="nofollow">raise cannabis up to a Class B drug</a> until this January? Did you fail to understand the concept of "blockquoting" which indicates that it was London's Sky News that referred to the technique as "waterboarding". I mean, I wouldn't want anyone to think you're a "brainless idiot".

Marijuana is a CLASS B DRUG. These men were not waterboarded because of marijuana! Do your research before you start spouting nonsensical propaganda. This doesn't help Marijuana reform, it makes the people fighting for it look like a bunch of brainless idiots... You know, the stereotype mass media makes US out to be to keep marijuana ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY. Totally counter productive. Not to mention that nowhere in this story does it mention "pot" "marijuana" "cannabis" ect... Where do you get your facts from!? In all sincerity I am a proud cannabis consumer, but no wonder why anyone actually making an impact on marijuana reform distances themselves as far away from NORML as possible. This is laughable.
