The Pub - Discuss Anything

[Unionjack 7,531]

Had to go to the cop shop today. Was walking to the Emirates the other day when a couple of our lovely plod pulled me for a stop and search. Found my hash oils and because of my previous they didn't know how to deal with me as my record for drugs has been clean for 19 years. So they gave me a producer so they could ponder it.

I dont very often at all smoke tobacco and have never smoked cigarettes but have been a cannabis smoker for over 40 years now and since the Vapororizors were invented Ive always used one.
At home I have a Volcano and when I go out I've got a Ghost MV1 which is fantastic and I always take it to the games. Never been pulled at The Bridge.

Our - the British, cannabis laws are archaic and we are far behind the rest of the world. Our Govt. is the Chelsea board towards drugs!!
Yet Britain is the largest producer and exporter of medicinal Cannabis namely Sativex which is licensed to treat muscle stiffness and spasms in people with multiple sclerosis. ONLY available on the NHS in Wales ffs!!
So much of the free world have or are either legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis. MANY of the US States,Germany,Italy,Holland,Canada,Uruguay,Spain,Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica,Luxembourg etc etc ..) It has created a big income for those places concerning revenue and taxes. It also saves much hassle on already over worked judicial system and creates room in our over flowing prisons for drug posession leaving room to lock up rapists, paedophiles and *shoplifters ( * = sarcasm but amazing just how many do get locked up)
Yet here in supposedly one of the forward thinking and open minded countries we can still get locked up for simple posession. Tho in 2016 the last numbers I can find there was 16,500 convictions for posession with 292 getting time.
Penaltys depends on the amount of the drug, the person's criminal history and other aggravating or mitigating factors. Police can also issue a warning or an on-the-spot fine of £90.
I had less than even 1/2G of oils but with my drugs history they were at a loss how to deal with me so I had to go to the OB station down Bishopsgate to find out just WTF they were going to do.
Now I know these oils are over 30% THC but they didn't have the time to send them out for analysis, which I would have loved to have found out the %, and with the large scale production of homegrown in Britain and amoumt of searches similar to mine, that I doubt it is an unusual % now. Much much higher than in the swinging 60s when the powers that be were making such a big deal about pot. Those guys back then would have freaked out over our current cannabis.

Anyways they ended up giving me a £50 spot fine which I reluctantly paid them but it's pissed me off.

We as cannabis users should be allowed to grow a small amount of plants for personal use (even if we had to buy a licence to grow) and be allowed to possess say even 5G wherever and whenever. It would take all the money out of unscrupulous bastards hands that add all sorts of glass powder and shit to bring up their profits and keep cannabis crimes to a minimal.
But as we turned down all suggestions from the Hague to decriminalize/legalize I don't see it happening in the near future!

This story this morning regarding Emiliano Sala doesn't look good.

Let's all hope he and anybody else is found alive and well but it's not promising.

Mate any crash where there is a death is heartbreaking. Specially for the person that has to go and ID their loved one.

It's an image that stays with you your whole life and very difficult to remember their faces any other way.

I am trying to find the best deal on the new camo pattern Chelsea pre-match jersey, but only Worldsoccershop/Soccer.com have it here, in the U.S., while the Chelseamegastore sells it for a bit more (shipped from the UK apparently).  

Anyone know of a good alternative? I'm trying to avoid shipping or get a discount. Might need to wait a couple months, but these seem to be uncommon for retailers.

I really don't understand import duty when buying from the US.

I bought a pair of  old Levis from a guy in the States only a tenner. Paid £18 postage and £32 import duty??? Almost told them to shuv em but they were Big E ones. Well worth it!

Its always really cold in Chicago in the winter. Thing the temp gets down to -15c or so, I lived in Michigan for a couple of years as a kid and remember we got snow deeper than I was tall once.

Was only thinking yesterday how cold it was here in London but fuck we are lucky!

No animals dying thru heat, No torrents of rain, no hurricanes, no tsunamis, no rivers freezing over! But yet if we get any deviation in weather conditions we whine,bitch,moan about it. Always have and suppose always will.

But every fuckin year the country grinds to a halt for little shit like wet leaves on the railway line or no grit on the road when they know sodding well that there might be snow at sometime but they have no grit to lay!!

Rant over!
