Brewed as a tea with a little milk, it has more lasting and deeper effects (especially on a timed double whammy) It was amazing to come to the UK in 2006 and discover that the status on cannbis had been relaxed in an attempt to de-criminalise this drug. Then just last year it was upped again after a sustained propaganda war. Sadly, us THC imbibers are once again feeling paranoid and hounded in the UK. I yearn for the day when this incredibly wonderful but severely misunderstood drug is completely legal and regulated in a free and mature society. There are many ways to take it.

Do you suggest that the practice not exist in SA??? Not condoning certain behaviour does not mean it does not happen. "....you pothead!!.." Just check the personal adds in your daily newspaper. @rayjay: “…How many billions of euros does Amsterdam’s red-light district bring in every year?..”

So, Zol is illegal. I stay out of both. For those who need a choice, having a puff is less damaging than suicide-bombing. Religions have monopolized the mind boggling industry. So, Zol is illegal.

Used to partake of the herb quite often back in the days of uni. Back then it was ok to fire up a quick homegrown or amadeadlies zol and function pretty much as normal. but agree with Warren that some of the strains of skunk coming out these days are way out there, like a mild acid trip rather than just a mellow slowboat. One or two puffs and the dreaded whities hit you like a ton of bricks.. bring back the mellow stuff. Hmm. Used to partake of the herb quite often back in the days of uni.

Zol might not create aggression like alcohol and hard drugs, but it does create a lazy, tomorrow is another day, I don't need to earn a living - type attitude I have also seen a lot of aggression and paranoia in regular zol bols and have been amazed at the difference in their personalities when they stop.

Not going to happen on my watch! The THC content in today's marijuana is dangerously high. It causes paranoia ans schizophrenia. No argument ever put forward ever understands how destructive this seemingly harmless drug causes. The fact is, it also suppresses anger and can leave you with PERMANENT paranoid schizophrenia.
