RE: An Interview with Clark French, Founder of the United Patients Alliance, UK Medical Cannabis Patients Activist Organization

in #cannabis7 years ago

Watched about six minutes, and then skimmed through the transcript for anything interesting.

One thing I'd like to add is when Clark talks about being kicked out for the smell of weed in his old place, I have to say I have mixed feelings on that. n one hand I understand he needs to medicate, and when you severe pain you really overlook the possibility of smell, but this an issue with Cannabis Consumers, and they often (in my personal opinion) could do better with concealing the smell, it's easy to think you are being stealthy, but the best ways involve high quality charcoal filters, fans, vaporizers, and common sense - anything with smoke will be smelled.

I totally understand the situation, but I'd just like to offer that respectful counter punch, and I knew his/your situation wasn't malicious against anyone involved.


Also I agree consumer sounds way better then user. I would only say you are a user if you have a clear problem with (or any) drug. So people can use or consume alcohol, and the same with cannabis. User just sounds likes a underhand insult most times.


It's interesting seeing Cannabis Activism on an international level, thanks for sharing this mate.

Thanks for watching and for the comment @archie.xyz
Good to know people are watching internationally!
Interestingly, I've always been more smell conscious than I believe to be necessary, even investing in special products like the neutralizer to cancel out the cannabis scent. But actually cutting out tobacco was what stopped the smell lingering and hanging about- I can smoke a bong in my living room and it'll be completely clear in about 10 mins with the window open as opposed to hours of smoke-smell from a spliff including tobacco!
User vs consumer is a good topic of discussion too, -user allows people to look down on people whereas consumer feels more like a genuine term.
Cheers again

I never though of that - that's a good point - tobacco reeks.
