Re: alcohol or marijuana, effects different people in different ways, and if one is predisposed to the effects of it moreso, will react or act very differently to say, the next person.
The only trouble is, the younger a person is when using pot, or alcohol, the more it is likely to effect their maturing process.
Marijuana does have beneficial medicinal properties, if used correctly and for the right reasons, but as with anything, nothing exceeds like excess, and then....one becomes unbalanced in many ways.
Those that I know that smoke pot, have done so for years and can't shake the habit, same as it those that have been drinking for years.....name your poison, and there is your addiction, mine happens to be chocolate...ah yes, death by chocolate

so you agree that marijuana is not an innocent drug and can have bad side effects?

Nobody was perpetuating that myth in this thread.

Unless I missed a post.   

incorrect, there is a huge demand for top quality hydropnic marijuana in Bali, it has been shown that the street price is higher than Australia. The locallly grown stuff is a very inferior quality.

Both these myths were busted quite early on.

toothpaste - check
make-up bag - check
towel and bathers - check
5kg bag of pot - check.... oops, no room in the suitcase so throws it in the boogy board cover. Hoping it makes it thru to Denpasar via Sydney. That's a huge bag. Such little attempt to conceal it. I'm going with the baggage handlers trafficking it interstate from Bris to Syd and they lost track of it.

Im not interested in "blog spots" the circumstance of Corby;s arrest has been exhaustively investigated and the baggage handling claim was found to be completely  erroneous and fabricated by her first lawyer.
