Deep, man. Don't OD on your dope, Dope.

I don’t use any kind of dope but what the doc prescribes. One for blood pressure, one for diabetes and the occasional Motrin for arthritis, and the occational shot and beer. Just because I don’t believe Reefer Madness was a documentary, just because I don’t believe the propaganda started by Henry Anslinger, just because I don’t believe the crap put out by those who earn their living from the “War” of drugs does not mean I am a druggie.

This is why the Prohibitionists in England, no doubt acting at the behest of their masters in the U.S., are panicking over Sativex, and pulling out all the stops:

GW Pharma Signs European Partner for Cannabis Drug

December 12, 2005

LONDON (Reuters) - GW Pharmaceuticals has agreed to a deal for Spain's Almirall to market its pioneering cannabis-based medicine, Sativex, in European countries excluding the UK, sending its shares higher on Monday.

GW Pharma said it would receive a signature fee of 12 million pounds, within total potential milestone payments of 46 million pounds, and that it would maintain a significant share of long-term product revenues.

At 8:05 a.m., GW Pharma shares were up 14.5 percent at 134.5 pence, valuing the firm at 153 million pounds.

Almirall is Spain's largest pharmaceutical company and one of Europe's biggest private drug companies, with 2005 sales approaching 1 billion euros (673 million pounds), GW Pharma said.

GW Pharma grows thousands of marijuana plants at a secret location in the English countryside, having been granted a dispensation by the government to use the plant for medical research.

Canada became the first country to approve Sativex, an under-the-tongue spray, for sale in April 2005 as a treatment for neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis patients.

Sativex was initially expected to be approved in Britain by the end of 2003, but has suffered numerous delays.

German drugmaker Bayer is GW Pharma's marketing partner in Canada and the UK.

In my book, you don't have to take illegal drugs to be a druggie.
