The 2011 Monica Fooks Memorial Lecture

Professor David Nutt DM, FRCP, FRCPsych, FMedSci, delivered the Ninth Annual Monica Fooks Memorial Lecture entitled "How can we get the media to tell the truth about drugs?" on Wednesday, 23 November 2011.

The Monica Fooks Memorial Lecture was established in 2002 at Somerville College, Oxford in memory of Monica, the daughter and sister, respectively, of Jean and Carolyn Fooks, who were both students at Somerville. Monica studied at Edinburgh University and developed bipolar disorder, which led to her taking her own life in September 1994 at the age of just 26.

Blurred for copyright reasons? It's an academic lecture with interesting and important information regarding the retarded attitude towards drugs in society / the media.

Fuck this obsession with copyright law in our society today. Fuck the overly-litigous cunts that have caused this.

ATTENTION anyone in the UK who wants Cannabis Legalised. A lot of people want to help legalisation, including myself, but really there was nothing I could do, until I found this Official Government Petition. It is the only real thing you can do to help, and it gives CLEAR a huge statistic to support legalistion: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/pet**­ions/29 (replace the two asterisks with "it" without quotations). For more info and the full link if you had problems, see this video /watch?v=RR9oHZ-Sv9G

dry british humor. classic.

The majority of the media are run by complete money grabbing scumbags, and they generally get away with everything they do. Prof Nutt is an absolute legend there are not many people in his profession that seek the truth and are willing to lay they're job on the line for what they believe in.
