Typical BBC propaganda
THC Vapes have changed my life. Having known the prospect of them some years ago from watching videos where they are legal, I always felt they were what I needed to live a decent life. Last year I discovered how to get them and I was not disappointed. A couple of puffs and I'm good for at least an hour, calm, content, focused......happy.
I've smoked weed for decades, but it's a pretty dirty habit and one that kept me couped up inside. I smoked it for the medicinal properties, I didn't want to pour the overwhelming smell onto others, I never want to draw attention to myself thinking I'm 'cool' etc.
THC vapes are discreet, and take minimal effort to get the required dose.
This programme barely mentions this, instead focusing on spiked vapes with 'spice', which I'd heard of but knew little about. Had this episode been titled Spice vapes, I would not write this. It portrays a 'drugs are bad mmmkay' attitude, when it is not the THC vapes that are bad, it is the people who are selling counterfeit products that are known to cause harm.
I was hoping to watch this and connect with people and their experiences of how THC vapes improved their lives, but all I saw was one guy who said they worked for him, but as his mate had a bad experience with a spice vape, he was now put off by the risk of getting spiked.
Keeping cannabis illegal is the cause of this, preventing people from having access to medication they know works for them enables nefarious people to try making a quick buck at the expense of others health and wellbeing. It needs to be legal so you can obtain it from established sources. I might add though, the ability to obtain these online is a very review based system, with lots of chatter, fraudsters won't last and the cream rises to the top. If you look in the right places, the black market is actually more trustworthy than the common market, it self-regulates.
This is not crack, monkey dust etc. Which are definitely bad drugs, you can also include legal drugs which can have dire effects on the wrong person.
Don't get me wrong, nothing is perfect, it won't work for everyone, but if the research was there and a medical professional could say to me 'take two puffs, once every 2-3 hours', that would be advice I could take knowing there was reasoning behind it. As is, I take it when I want, and invariably will take too much, in that I run out faster and it costs me more money!
It feels so much 'cleaner' with a THC vape than a joint, and I can go out and mix with people. I wish I had been able to get these 20 years ago, my life would have been so much better than the secluded hermit I became.
I refuse to refer to this programme as a 'documentary' as it is not only completely biased, it misses it's own sub-title by talking about a totally different and harmful drug. It's 1920's oil barons all over again.
Having said this, it is the BBC, so should I be surprised? No.
