Loved the headline on The Mirror/The Sun today (they both had the same one):

'Careless Spliffer'. stoned


falloff

boxed What's a spliffer?



There's no such word as 'spliffer' but a 'spliff' is another term used for a joint. It's just a terrible play-on-words, really, but it made me smile. smile

Like when he was caught cottaging in LA - one of the headlines was 'Zip Me Up Before You Go Go'. falloff

When will people realise that weed MAKES you depressed, it doesn't cure it (in the long run).

It has recently been pretty much proven to cause psychosis in specific types of predisposed people, too... it's not as "soft" as some make it out to be and it certainly won't cure depression.

True, being a stoner can make you depressed, but nothing's more depressing than running out! That's why it's hard to notice the negative effects it has while you're using it.

Like cigarettes it's very hard to stop weed because you can still get through your life and be completely stoned. You just don't get through it as effectively. Other drugs ruin your life in a more obvious way.

I also quit 3 & 1/2 years ago

George Michael says drug arrest was own fault

Says he won’t release a record poking fun at latest incident

LONDON - George Michael said his arrest for suspected drug possession in London this weekend was “my own stupid fault, as usual.”

The 42-year-old pop singer was arrested Saturday after he was found slumped at the wheel of his car at Hyde Park Corner in central London.

He was bailed out and is to return to a police station next month.

“I was in possession of class C drugs which is an offense and I have no complaints about the police who were professional throughout,” Michael — who rose to fame as half of the 1980s pop duo Wham! — said Monday in a statement.

Class C drugs, the lowest category of illegal drugs, include marijuana, anabolic steroids and some amphetamines.

“I have been through enough in 24 years of dealing with the media to know what I am in for from them this week,” Michael’s statement said. “Much of it will be inaccurate or simply untrue. I can handle that, it is my own stupid fault, as usual.”

Michael was arrested in 1998 for lewd conduct at a public restroom in Beverly Hills, Calif. Soon after, he said publicly for the first time that he’s gay.

Later, he released the single and video “Outside,” which poked fun at his arrest.

In his statement, Michael promised: “I won’t make a record out of this one — even though it is tempting.”

Why is he turning to ganja?

Nah, it's legit. I saw it on CNN as well. George has always been a drama queen, but he's become his own episode of COPS in recent years.


W-O-W.

Now I wonder if that Clay Aiken/gay escort/bareback story es verdad! eek

I love GM and his music so much that I wish he'd just keep it in his pants, and lock himself up in a recording studio... His remixes are the shit, too.

Well he is taking responsiblity for this and not wating time doing so in the process. I hope he gets his act together because is too talented to waste away doing stupid shit like this. He needs to make news for his music not getting arrested every other year.

I can't decide whether this is sad or pathetic. I was pretty tired of GM's frequent and almost-proud exclamations of pot use (such as remarking once in an interview that he was so high during some of the "Older" sessions that he had to sing while laying on the floor)given his battles with depression but in a recent interview it sounded like he was finally kicking the habit because it had killed his creativity.

Guess not...

You can actually hear him lighting up a joint and taking a drag at one point on the album!

Right? It ain't like he's Robert Downey Jr or Scott Stapp. He's never been arrested for drugs before, and it's friggin' pot at that! This is hardly a sign that he's hit rock-bottom or something.

As for being arrested on a possession of Cannabis charge, rubbish - for that he'll most likely get a slap on the wrist at best. GHB (Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate)however is an entirely different matter altogether, regardless of being in the same drugs 'band'.

The London Gay club scene is absolutely rife with the drug - I've seen someone shit themselves (no...i mean literally shit themselves) in the middle of a packed dancefloor and be so out of their face they didn't even notice - much less care (no I didn't know them, yes they weren't in the club for much longer) Really not nice, and hey - you look sooooo attractive on it. Not.

It just goes to prove just how shit a newspaper is when they'd rather sensationalise than get their facts right - GHB (also known under many other slang names, but most commonly as GHB / Liquid Ecstasy) dramatically lowers the users inhibitions, increases sexual urges, and a feeling of euphoria. But, like most drugs, its highly unpredictable due to its heavy sedative-like effect, risking coma, heart attacks and death. It's not a nice drug, and is often used for date-rape. I should know sad

Last year the British government were looking at changing the classification of the drug to class A. Being currently in the Class C band it can carry a maximum of 2 years imprisonment if found in possession of the substance.

What pisses me off more than anything about the way this is being played out is that wanker Pete Docherty has been arrested in possession of Heroin about 5 r 6 times in the past 12 months (was arrested again today fact fans - yawn) and yet the papers make him out to be some rock God, and nothing ever happens to him when he goes to court! Tosser.

I hope George pulls his bloody finger out and sorts himself the frak out.

I was wondering if they meant the "date rape" drug, because I never thought GHB was in any way related to cannabis. confuse I've heard it being referred to in this way before as well, so I'm still confused actually. I thought they were two different things for a while there.

Someone once slipped GHB into my friend's drink, and she really freaked out so I do know how serious it is.
