This is good for a laugh. This woman is the most ignorant campaigner I have ever heard of. Grainne Kenny president Europe Against Drugs quoted as saying. "it's (cannabis) more addictive than Valium or tobacco".
Heres more of her wisdom at play. (Limerick is a pretty big town/city in Ireland) http://www.ndc.hrb.ie/directory/news_detail.php?cat_id=&news_id=1226&pointer=100

Trees should be removed from Limerick bar- EURAD (Source:'Pub in pot of bother': The Sun. p. 20, , 25 Jun 2004)
EURAD (Europe Against Drugs) president Grainne Kenny has launched an outrageous attack on a pub in Limerick, which she has accused of trying to attract customers by planting trees outside which she feels are imitation cannabis trees. "Why do the guards, the chamber of commerce and civil society tolerate this. These trees should be removed. They are giving out a very dangerous message to children", she said. Ms Kenny made her comments to an anti-drugs seminar in the city and displayed leaves she had broken off the trees. But the owner of the bar, Will Rooney denied any wrongdoing. "They may look like something else, but they are called Japanese Maple. We wanted something to replace palm trees that were stolen, and this is what we got", said Mr Rooney. "I noticed one was a bit bare, maybe she'll replace it for us", he added.

She is clearly insane, but I wish she had something else apart from drugs to launch her misguided crusade against. Thankfully this Japanese Maple thing should ruin any credibility she had

When asked to comment on Grainne Kenny president Europe Against Drugs, Seuss said, "Why do the guards, the chamber of commerce and civil society tolerate this. These idiots should be removed. They are giving out a very dangerous misinformation to children"

A lovely quote from EURAD's website:
Quote:
" Everyone is entitled to his own 'opinion.' He is not entitled to his own 'facts.' Chemically, marijuana is a far more dangerous drug than most of the scientifically ignorant media and American consumer have been duped into believing."
Seems that everyone is entitled to their own 'facts'. Assholes.

Once again, the anti-drug side of the spectrum seems to have more loonies than on the drug user side.

we should also eradicate Cinquefoil
 clearly the sight of this green, harbacious, weed will make young impressionable minds grow tolerant to other things green and herbacious, and eventually, even weedy. inevitably they will smoke crack.

She's on a bit of a run after the mushroom thing (which she was riding for at least a year before the tabloids jumped on board), and she's been focussing her bile of late on the head shops, who, she claims, normalise drug use and should be shut down forthwith.
I saw that cannabis claim in Metro. Outrageous stuff. The woman has totally lost the run of herself. If you check out the Europe Against Drugs website, you'll see they approvingly quote the 'Holy See', so this is what we're dealing with.

I, for one, would RATHER be addicted to cannabis than than Valium or tobacco.
and if it was legal and abundant I would only consume hashish, and only by vaporizing/cooking-eating it therefore doing myself ZERO damage.
If it was legal I would grow a few hundred plants in my garden and simply bubble hashify all the buds. badda boom badda bing. send a few pounds to my mom at christmas.

This is her on the left at some anti-drug convention. Notice the other two people giving her looks of "what the fuck are you talking about you old hag?"
