The Guardian reports on the Government's latest pack of lies about cannabis. They have a nice simple advert for "yoof", about needing a new brain.

Cannabis does NOT damage the brain. Of course people who are schizophrenic shouldn't use it. But it doesn't cause mental illness. Of course you can feel paranoid when you use it. But then, there is a large organization in uniforms who want to arrest you, that makes me pretty damn sure I'm being persecuted.

Cannabis is NOT stronger than it used to be. This claim dates back to a study in which the strength of a 30 year old sample was compared with a fresh one, ignoring the fact that the THC gradually decays. I had some in Singapore in 1968 that was stronger than any I have found since.

Frank, you are a liar.
