IMHO more like a promotion for weed than a deterrent!
A new hard-hitting TV, radio and online FRANK advertising campaign that shows how cannabis can mess with your mind, was unveiled today by the Department of Health.
The campaign shows that cannabis can quickly flip from being a talkative and relaxed experience to turning nasty and users becoming paranoid, having panic attacks and being sick.
The false perception still exists amongst some young people that cannabis is a safe drug despite the fact that it can produce both immediate and longer-term harms to mental and physical health.
Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo said: "Cannabis is a destructive drug. What can start as a few giggles and being part of the crowd can have serious and long-term health problems.
"Young people need to know cannabis isn't a soft drug. They need to be aware of the risks they're taking and know there is support for them to get the full facts through FRANK."
Skunk Stronger cannabis - 'skunk' - now dominates the cannabis market, making up 80 per cent of the cannabis available on our streets compared to 30 per cent in 2002.
In the short term, cannabis use can lead to panic attacks and paranoia. In some, its regular use may lead to later development of psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia. For people with schizophrenia it can worsen the symptoms and lead to relapse. Cannabis use can also damage people's lungs and affect their reproductive system. There is concern that the recent shift to use of stronger forms such as skunk will increase these problems.

I do not believe by any measures that cannabis is dangerous. In the history of mankind, nobody has ever died from it. Not only can it not kill you, it can help cancer patients get through chemo by decreasing nausea and increasing appetite. From cannabis you can make hemp, and from hemp you can make cloths and paper. Cloths made from hemp is stronger than cotton.
Memory loss only occurs while you are using it, and if youre really high, i've been pretty damned high in the past but i still remember every bit of it afterwards, its just hard to hold onto short term memory when youre that stoned.
