Some people can, for example, become aggressive violent thugs after drinking but a couple of pints; whilst others can drink like fish, yet remain non violent non psychotic (they won't even put their feet up on the seats of the last train home!).<br /><br />The effect that drugs have on people is determined, to a large extent, by the mindset/mood/"mental health" of that person.<br /><br />In other words, "one size does NOT fit all"!Ken Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568488818950912374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-17766334779301644432012-04-03T15:03:58.551+01:002012-04-03T15:03:58.551+01:00Interesting thoughts Ken;

Some class A and class B drugs can trigger psychosis in some people that have a genetic prepensity to those illnesses. Obviously, not all people are predisposed to such illnesses and this is where Nanny gets her knickers in a twist. We have seen similar problems with alcohol; because a few people go out and become wankers following a drink, Nanny tars us all with that brush and tries to punish the many, for the sins of the few.<br /><br />We need more pragmatic laws to replace the existing laws and we need to ensure that the laws we come up with are enforced, unlike now.<br /><br />Nanny does look like a fish in a net thrashing crazily about when she tries to pontificate on drugs. I don't think she understands that many chemistry students can knock something up very easily and information is out there on the web.<br /><br />As the Borg used to say; Nanny, resistance is futile.Tonk.noreply@blogger.com
