    I am assuming that's a compliment to his testing ability - that he tests things to the lowest possible level.

        Do you mean 'proof' or 'evidence'?

          Given the problems with trying to prevent kids taking up smoking what if any checks would you put in place to prevent the little mites getting hold of a (now) legally allowed substances?
          This is a benefit of regulation. Skunk and super-skunk etc. are no more harmful per se than other forms of cannabis. They have a higher concentration of THC and users then inhale more THC. Regulation can limit the concentration of THC and set a minimum price. Regulation could control outlets and prevent marketing. Think Norwegian state offies if they still have them.

                They need a lot more than that
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  This leads me to suggest that regulation could control the concentration of THC. Do you read it differently?

The pious self righteous (you know who you are) ars*holes who pretend that they know what is good for everyone else
                    That's beautiful DA. You spend virtually all of your time on CUK doing that... in fact in this very post you claim to know what is best! I hope it's deliberately hypocritical
                    but drug taking money borrowing and prostitution are facts of life.
                    So are murder, rape, pedophilia, wife-beating, and common violence after closing time every weekend.

                    Wonga is giving people access to lending that removes the need to use loan sharks. If they cant pay the loans back then they are allowed to come to an arrangement that is within the law. If they pay them back they build up their credit ratings and are able then to borrow more.

                    These people should be congratulated not villified.
                    On that score, I actually agree - I don't think these are 'evil companies'.

                      I dont know if anyone said this ^^
                      I dont have time to read all the pages, but there are legal organisations and illegal ones, nice ones and not so nice ones.

                      There is a line that divides them and the ones close to that line are bound to be contriversial, like wonga.

                      if we redraw the line, it would be someone else turn to cause outrage
