Hello and thanks for stopping by, firstly the name eb4c4c.(EDUCATE B4 CONVICTION 4 CANNABIS).
Firstly a little about myself, im a mid forties family man who for most of my life have smoked cannabis on a daily basis and have managed a very busy working and family life without any negative effects that cannabis is supposed to bring, while at the same time have seen so many negative effects from friends and colleagues from drink related incidents, work absence, vomiting, drink driving, fighting etc as we all know the list through drink related incidents are endless and is a cost to us all at some point, ie health care, policing, incarceration etc, again the list goes on. As you can probably tell, i dont drink, but have no objection to others drinking as i believe it is each individuals choice, there are a number of reasons why i choose not to drink, the main one is that i just dont enjoy the taste (will occassionally drink wine with dinner), when i was younger 14-18 really did go mad at the drink and all it ever done was cause me to be a different person to who i really was oh and a lot of money, thats the difference in my thought is that with drink you loose control of who you are and your self control, where as with cannabis/mj i have never been at a stage in my life where as i was out of control or oblivious as to what was going on around me (and have smoked some of the best having spent many years in holland and other European countries). it did cause me to miss work, it did get me a police coviction, it did cause my parents distress..........but that is part of life and growing up.....WHY?.... because alcohol is legal and is accepted by most of society....so is tobbacco........ cannabis/mj....ILLEGAL. (unless you live in a country that has done research and has approved cotrolled use of it)

This project is aimed at EDUCATING the use of cannabis/mj, and of the benefits that it can bring, and not at legalising it, as there are many groups already covering
this area, also would really like to highlite the comparisons between alcohol and cannabis/mj, in various ways, and have many ideas as how to do this, and would immagine that so many of you would also have valid input/expierences which could make a difference to someone asking a question, as i think that to be able to give an honest oppinion, you have to have done it!

What i would like to see come from this;
This would be aimed at all ages, as i think it is so important to educate the parents, as the kids are learning more from the street (i think most of us on here would know the signs and terms) than some parents will ever know, and to educate them that it is here...its not going away.....and there is a chance that your child will use cannabis/mj...... and if they do you should not be shocked ..... call him/her a DRUGGY... you should be in a position to disccuss and advise that if you are going to use then ok, but this is how we would suggest......... to be able to tell them about the impurities put into some products and how dangerous these can be (solids and lots of green getting tampered with now days).........ways of using it, vapour rather than joint etc ...... just basically get with it, listen, learn,advise and enjoy life with your children.
Then there are the youngsters, again educate them but on there level, keep it in simple terms, street talk, fun ways..... basically tell the truth........ listen to them ..... offer them a service to negotiate and educate there parents........fundraising events ........ more educational programmes .... a drop in service....... a workshop ....... i could go on and on about the "beneficial" to the community ideas, i could and sure that many of you, could come up with, but with only myself and limited time, would be a huge task, so to my next subject;

Would like to hear from all walks of life but especially if you work in any profession connected with cannabis/mj, this could be Doctor, police, phycologist, social worker, drug worker, etc, why i especially ask for those areas is that that person would be able to give an accurate answer having studied in that field, well basically anyone with proven facts, who would be interested in advising and also educating me in any events that could arise in the putting together of this group, and as to wether this could be a project that could be introduced into the local community, which i so much want to do, as i am convinced that it could make a huge difference to so many people and to STOP SO MANY PEOPLE BECOMING CRIMINALS ON PAPER AND TARNISHING THERE CHARACTER, IN MANY CASES, AT THE START OF THERE ADULT LIFE......... OFTEN LEADING TO FURTHER CONVICTIONS AND THE USE OF HARD DRUGS........

ALSO IF YOU HAVE BEEN A PARTICIPANT IN ANY CANNABIS/MJ PROGGRAM WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR VIEWS.

PLEASE AS ALL MAIL WILL HAVE TO BE READ AND HOPE IT WILL BE LOTS, AT THIS STAGE PLEASE ONLY GOOD AND NEEDED ADVICE. if there is a good responce and things are able to move forward will then be able to accept more of your experiences and knowledge, in all areas.

many thanks for reading this and please help, if you can.

Would just like to add to this have 3 sons of 25 ,21 and 6 and a daughter of 11( going on 21), 25yr manager of a multi national company 21yr 11 o levels and employed, both use cannabis/mj and have done from a young age. the eldest enjoys drink more and has in many cases been in lots of trouble ie DD, fighting, where as the younger lad does not drink, really enjoys his green and is very particular in what he smokes and will go without rather than buy what he calls "commercial", but who also has a mark against him as when he was younger was caught in a car with 2 older lads and 1g green which was put to him. My 2 younger children are both doing very well in school and also in various activities in the community and even at there age are very wise to what is out there.... its a shame that children are not allowed a childhood anymore as we have to teach them so young of all the dangers that they could encounter........ and i will continue to answer there questions and advise them as we have a very open house and discuss most things with them, we feel that you have to, as like my (and yours) older children, they have to go through, and make such important decisions in the coming years............. let us help them with what we know.

PLEASE AS SO MANY ARE LOOKING BUT NOT REPLYING I WOULD ASK THAT PLEASE ANYONE WITH ANY GOOD POSITIVE IMFORMATION OR TRUE FACTS/STORIES, PLEASE CAN YOU JUST TAKE A SHORT TIME AND SEND MAIL WETHER IT IS JUST A FEW LINES OR A BOOK, I PROMISE IT WILL BE READ AND POSSIBLY USED FOR THIS PROJECT. I SO NEED ALL YOUR HELP TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THANKS TO YOU ALL.

What about social and recreational use by people who can't (and/or won't) drink? Alcohol is the social drug of choice in many, many places. But for people like me who smoke but can't/ don't drink, a "fun night out on the town" could well end up in getting busted, but for cautious people like me it just means being the odd person out and feeling kind of third wheel-ish.

Due to health problems (which I'll elaborate on if you'd like to PM me), drinking makes me pass out... A few days after the drink! Due to this I have to face driver's license restrictions for the rest of my life. Lame!

Your project sounds interesting and I'll gladly give you some input. Best wishes.
