Wtf did you do that for?
Totally unnecessary.
People can see the wood for the trees;)
I see no alternative now …
Pummy, do the gentlemanly thing and apologise for harassing Mups.
She is a lady and displays good manners by apologizing Tpin, as any decent person would do.
I am also a lady and have displayed my own good manners by apologizing.
It seems that there is now only one apology required, to Longdogs. Perhaps Pumicestone could be instrumental in getting that one too:!: 
Why aoologise in the first place?
There was no malice or intent and noone was upset.
It seems that Pummy was.
Yeah yeah and
Upset?
Pummy?
Never.
Well he deserves and Oscar for the way he posted his complaints then
Please don’t call him Oscar … I’ll get more confused 
Since when?
And being as the OP asked our opinion…“Is it right to break the law to bring relief to the ravages of chronic illness”…we are allowed to say…no it isn’t ‘right’ if that is our opinion.
Since it became a police officers discretion whether to arrest or not.
Since possesion could be dealt with by way of a street caution.
How many criminal offences can be dealt with like this, in this way?
As for opinions…of course we are allowed to express an opinion…which I did.
The op asked for an opinion…a constructive debate…for one I found the lack of empathy quite cruel…the emphatic response that no matter the reason for taking a drug she’d “grass” them up abd thise that take drugs are scum…very helpful.
and that is MY opinion.
I still don’t know who Diane is 
Its my night time name.
Thank you Mups but as I said in my PM to you, you have no reason to apologise. I certainly have not taken offence to anything you have posted (ever).
Burning question why is an Essex boy following Boro ?
I agree.
Cannabis for personal use is, in practice, considered legal (just as it is in the Netherlands).
I also deplore the accusation that someone taking cannabis to relieve pain, etc, is behaving like scum. Perhaps she’d think differently if she were in the same boat one day.
UK law as it stands…
If caught in possession of cannabis, as well as considering arrest and confiscating the drug, police are likely to:…give a cannabis warning for a first offence of possession – this is a written warning that does not show up on the PCN and should not show on CRB checks often carried out by employers.
Give a Penalty Notice for Disorder – this is an on-the-spot fine of £90 for a second offence, you must pay this within 14 days or face going to court.
make an arrest if it is the third offence of having been caught with cannabis – this could lead to conviction in court and a criminal record.
Dear Dongle, thank you. And thank you for your lovely PM as well. x x
Oops! Some people have been taking other people to task about the use of such ‘unofficial usernames’!
Not that it bothers me, of course.
