She's already set to make a motsa from selling her story & the movie they're making about her.

Don't agree with that as I believe the rest of her family are as dodgy as..... & one of the reasons she got such a harsh sentence for pot. (not hash Lols..... HASH is a different product of marijuana)

I think her sentence was way over the top as recently there has been someone sentenced over there for a murder & he got less jail time. 7 or 8 yrs I believe.

I hope part of her parole conditions are that she can't leave the country ... we don't need more junkies here.

Cannabis users are NOT 'junkies', John.

Fur fox sake, they're not even 'drug addicts'.

Smoking a joint is less harmful than drinking, and you do
not become violent or suffer from hang-overs.

It is ILLEGAL......what don't you understand? Most hardcore addicts start with cannabis, and that includes kids who want to experiment but get dragged in.

Totally disagree, and dealers have no problem expanding the drug experience to more serious substances to make more money.

my ex girlfriends family all used to smoke reagularly, they were always broke, and everytime they ran out of pot, they would all get abusive because they hadn't had their fix ... husband and wife would fight (physically) in front of toddlers .... Kat wants to pretend that it's harmless ... this went on for years

they used to piss me off because when they did have their pot they would smoke it in a closed room with the toddlers present ...

"The large majority of people who try marijuana do it experimentally and never become addicted. Unlike other substances, pot has very few severe withdrawal symptoms and most people can quit rather easily."

"Compared to other substances, marijuana is not very addicting. It is estimated that 32% of tobacco users will become addicted, 23% of heroin users, 17% of cocaine users, and 15% of alcohol users. Cocaine and heroin are more physically harmful and nicotine is much more addictive. It is much harder to quit smoking cigarettes than it is to quit smoking pot."

"So, to wrap up, is marijuana addictive? For most people, no. About 10% of recreational users will develop problems serve enough to impair their work and relationships."

You can disagree all you want, however, without any sort of evidence ... well ... Undecided

neither are cigarettes addictive if you smoke only one or two and then stop ... I didn't say it makes everyone an addict, even I sank a cone once or twice when I was younger .... but once you start using it regularly, don't pretend you're not addicted.

Shapelle had a body board bag full... you also can't pretend it was for her own use.
