Hard News: Sorting out our thinking on drugs, in reply to BenWilson,
This is absolutely how I feel, you articulate it so well Ben. In my experience, if you feel like you could be dying, one gets pretty honest pretty quickly with the professionals and in my experience o'seas ,Professionals have seen similar signs present time and time again so there is the monitoring and checking vital signs first and what one ingests does not compromise that which anyone can receive in A an 'E. They are duty bound to help you in order of most serious at the front.
As an aside, I haven't taken synthetic cannabis, but I have had, I would say, a lot of experience with and around many other drugs. Marijuana is a brilliant pacifier and encourager for such conditions as general pain and chemo and a friend uses it for MS, but not for everyone. It is the individuals circumstance and the type of medical problem that has occurred and I have been advised from health professional of the considered benefits of bud . They have all suggested a vaporiser which I find truly professional in that my situation has deemed it worthy of a mention. Once a Doctor got through to me in trying to suggest I consider some prescribed medications that I was weary of by saying "Sofie, let's face it, you have tried just about every other illegal drug, how but giving these blood pressure tablets a try too." I laughed and thought, yes my blood pressure is more of his expertise than mine. I now take them for life.ETA. It has always been my choice to take whatever drugs I have (except when in Hospital in a coma) and I have always excepted there may consequences and to be honest, I think most people who take drugs know that one day they might not like, know about or care about the outcome. That's life.

At present, screeds of valuable data (in the form of untested synthetic substances) is being wasted because it is not systematically collected / collated. We do not even have adequate testing facilities or tests. Its not a good situation.
Yes that is true. I do think this is a really big study though. There are many social variables that influence human behaviour and synthetics are one which are different everytime someone takes them.It would be an excellent study I think. Maybe I'll get to try one day soon.

I meant you might have to join Uni to get the answers you are looking for. The googling was reference to just that and your apology for sounding ungracious. Nothing more. You could try googling Otago to get the departments that may help you with enquiries. Also if you did do a paper ,it would probably end up being very helpful indeed for all of us in the future. Hope you find what you want to know.

I was about to type "why are you googling me? :) I understood why you are keen. Hope you find some answers. You may have to go study up yourself, then you could get back to us next year . Take care.

Just give me the info…
What RB said and also I don’t know your area (it doesn't matter tho) but Otago will only take cadavers from Sth Island and only a couple of areas at that but Auckland Uni does do Alcohol and Drugs Studies so they might help you if you are up this way.

Spotlighting them so that others can shoot? or nuking them from orbit ’cos it’s the only way to be sure?

the coroners office for testing / making medical data available to others. The response was its not worth it, we’ll only bin it.
Hi Virginia. The Coroners may not have wanted to do research but Otago University might have.

Lawless bud substitute…
The guy that went to the shop and told Dunne off on his way in could have been a good follow up and I’d be interested to see what comes of the shop keeper’s request to see Campbell.
Once again, Dunne talking up bad effects of marijuana with nothing that backs his claims.
One interesting comment from Ryan who said the legal highs are ok for drug testing with employment, but would rather smoke buds. So hey, get a job . It's the Council's fault now that its too hard, now that it's all up in ya face Dunne. No substance Minister.
Why oh why can this man not want to follow the States with legalising marijuana.
The Taxes alone should be his no brainer. This Govt just lurves the US of A.
Going by that Photo, Dunne got a job and a haircut! Oh the hair ! :)
