“Those whose minds are steeped in cannabis are capable of quite extraordinary criminality. Your brain has been steeped in cannabis for most of your adult life.”

Justice Niblett, to convicted arsonist. Many in the legal and medical profession, not to mention devastated families, have seen or been victim to acts of shocking cruelty and violence, in which cannabis played a part.

Cannabis smokers are 'nearly three times more likely to be violent'

Britain has been plagued by a succession of brutal killings linked to cannabis in recent years. One such killer was student Femi Nandap, pictured.

Here is an injustice that will not garner any protests, though the effects of it haunt British streets on a regular basis. 

The use of cannabis has been increasingly linked with acts of irrational violence, and yet another study confirms the link. Stephen Adams reports on a new study assessing nearly 300 000 teens and young adults. 

The man on the left (Femi Nandap) stabbed the man on the right (Jeroen Ensink) to death in 2015. He evaded a more serious charge, because his lawyers argued that his use of cannabis had damaged his brain.

I have also mentioned the case of Dr. Sarah Halimi, murdered by an anti-Semitic fanatic from Mali, who evaded serious charges when his lawyers also argued that his use of cannabis had damaged his brain. 

Other such cases exist. 

So why haven’t such links and such acts provoked outrage among the British public? The answer is simple. Cannabis generates millions, if not billions, in revenue. Given the economic catastrophe that Britain and other countries currently face, the cries to legalise cannabis and profit from tax revenues may grow ever louder. 

As we saw during the last century, the cannabis industry profits from the same lies as the tobacco industry (which has now morphed into the vaping industry, proving that we lost the battle against smoking). They repeatedly cite no “consistent” link, repeatedly overstate positive usage of cannabis, cynically manipulate unjust prison sentences to promote their cause, and dress up cannabis with the robes of “freedom” and “happiness”. 

I wonder whether disciples of cannabis would repeat their propaganda to those who have had their lives ruined or paid the ultimate price at the hands of a cannabis-smoking criminal.

Israel to ban flavored e-cigarettes?

Dep. Health Minister promises: 'I'll work to ban flavored cigarettes - after the elections.' Drs: 'No reason to insist on harming youth.'

It astonishes me how many otherwise intelligent adults continue to deceive themselves about the harms of drugs. This article, in which the Israeli government inexplicably dithers over banning flavoured e-cigarettes, has ramifications for the equally inane refusal to accept the harms of cannabis. 

When you treat drug usage not as a repugnant and deliberate habit, but as “experimentation” and even part of someone’s psychological identity, you lay the groundwork for millions to prostitute their health based on lies. 

For years, we have been told that keeping dangerous and unnecessary toxins legal will prevent the black market, and yet I see no difference between the legal tobacco companies now peddling their disgusting electronic cigarettes, and the criminal gangs (still) working underground. 

Ever since irrefutable evidence proved that smoking tobacco is lethal, the tobacco companies have pulled another ace out of their sleeves. E-cigarettes contain the same nicotine as traditional cigarettes, and possibly other harmful substances. The FDA has noted increased lung problems in those who “vape” (the deceitful verb used to replace the true description of “smoking”). 

At first, we were told that e-cigarettes were less harmful and thus a suitable replacement for traditional cigarettes. Now we learn of a shocking 78% increase in young Americans purchasing e-cigarettes, leading the current administration to consider banning these products. In addition, the Israeli government wishes to ban them. 

Canada, the country that so foolishly legalised cannabis in a frenzied bid for popularity and corporate favour, has regulations on flavoured e-cigarettes. It is remarkable that legislation against e-cigarettes is seen as efficacious, whilst legislation against cannabis is treated as a lost cause. 

Not only have e-cigarettes gained popularity among the youth, but they are responsible for unidentified lung damage. This means that everyone, including medical professionals, who placated us with myths about the comparative safety of these products owes the public an apology. I doubt we will receive one, however. 

Yet again, another generation has been lost to self-indulgence, served to them with a platter of lies. 

When will people now accept the hard truth: “recreational” drug abuse is reprehensible, selfish, dangerous, devastating, costly, encourages crime, and is thoroughly unacceptable in a civilised society?

Effects of Pot | Long-Term Effects of Weed | Dangers of Marijuana

Despite its popularity, marijuana can have some long-term effects on the brain that are “uncool.” Read about the negative and even dangerous outcomes of weed.

Several liars in the public eye today, some calling themselves “activists”, others politicians, lobbyists, and millions of useful idiots, insist that cannabis is harmless. This undisputed medical evidence proves otherwise, particularly for those who begin smoking cannabis in adolescence.

“This is a very tragic story. He was an intelligent, likeable young man who went to university, and I suspect it was there that he came into contact with cannabis. Cannabis is a dangerous drug and is harming more and more people. It is as dangerous as hard drugs.”

A coroner, named Michael Rose, sharing medical observations on the dangers of cannabis.

“I don’t subscribe to the view it’s recreational and it’s no big deal to be smoking or selling cannabis. My experience of people I see in this court is that almost without exception they are seriously damaged by the use of cannabis. It certainly leads to mental illness. It is in my judgement a dangerous drug.”

Judge John Boggis, QC, one of the many judges who have noted defendants in court for terrible crimes, who have a history of smoking cannabis. Here, he spoke in 2007 to yet another teenager using the drug.

“Your deteriorating mental health had much to do with your history of drug use and in particular your cannabis habit. This is another example of the danger of cannabis use and its ability to induce psychotic behaviour in young men.”

Mr. Justice Haddon-Cave, speaking to a man who murdered his parents.

Here are the ten cases (from a catalogue of hundreds) that I list in my recent article for Conservative Woman: Youth guilty of Dundee murder: ‘The court heard that McIntosh [the defendant], who ha…

Unsurprisingly, cases of domestic violence include perpetrators who smoke cannabis. Note the recurring theme of paranoia and psychopathic violence in these shocking cases. 

Those who speciously claim that legalising cannabis is akin to Civil Rights should read these horrible acts of violence against women, along with all the other violence committed by cannabis smokers.
