My mate smokes loads of weed and she says that its more harmful to smoke cigs and drink and that weeds not addictive and you can't die of an overdose. So why is weed illegal and cigs and alcohol not, I think that weed should be legal too.

A few issues to tackle on this one "Hen".
First one is that smoking anything is harmful. Most people when they roll a spliff, use tobacco anyway then they take out the filter and replace it with a wee bit of a cardboard roach. Breathing in unfiltered smoke is not the most healthy. Weed also contains up to three times more tar than tobacco so you can see the harm is actually increased. It is fair to say that nicotine is more addictive than Weed, but a lot of people find it hard to stop smoking weed too. To the best of our knowledge, no one has ever died from an overdose of weed but I'm sure you have heard of many people who have smoked to much or mixed with alcohol and thrown a "whiety"
So you ask "why is weed illegal and cigs and alcohol not?" , ............
that's a question we could only guess at and here at D-Cubed we like to deal only in facts.
If you or yer mates would like to send us your reasons why it should be made legal, we will print them in the magazine section of this site.
My mum is nagging me about going to partys. she says loads of girls have their drinks spiked. is this true and what should I watch out for.

DCubed Says : Reports of drug rape, and or assault linked to "drink spiking", do appear to be on the increase, tho to be honest there is not a lot of evidence.
The drug to watch out for, is alcohol itself. More people are taken advantage of while under the influence of alcohol, then any other drug.
Because a lot more people drink a lot more alcohol and throw CAUTION to the wind, there are a lot more RISKS involved in going out.
You, (or your mum), can find more info by typing "alcohol and drug rape" into the search bar at the top of this page.
Don't let the info scare you, its sensible to be wary but its not good to be suspicious of everyone.
Going out in LEEDS is not always like a KAISER CHIEFS record.
