Hello, my name is Judyta. I came here almost seven years ago from Poland to do a postgraduate course at Queen’s, and I decided to stay here. Believe me or not, but I have grown fond of Belfast and I like living here. Last Friday I was even more happy with Belfast than usual. It was because on that day I went to the 420 smokeout event at the front of the City Hall. I had a joint there with well over a hundred other people, strangers of all shapes and sizes, nationalities, social classes and religious backgrounds – all…
On Friday 20th of April 2012 at City Hall Belfast a few hundred people sparked up their cannabis joints, protestants and catholics alike. People from all walks of life stood as one talking together like long lost friends. I spoke to young men and women from all over the North and South of Ireland, Spain, Poland, England and places I can’t even remember. I stood with like minded people and enjoyed a smoke of cannabis, peacefully I might add. How liberating it was to not be hiding away at home with my joint. All I can say is bring on…

In a recent study, 4AutoinsuranceQuote.org, a national quote provider for online car insurance quotes, cites a strong correlation between traffic-related accidents and marijuana use. The study, which looks at statistics regarding accidents, traffic violations, and insurance prices, seeks to dispel the thought that “driving while stoned” is dangerous. In the study, 4AutoInsuranceQuote.org points out that the only significant effect that marijuana has on operating a motor vehicle is slower driving. 4AutoInsuranceQuote.org says, while referencing a study by the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), that driving slower “is arguably a positive thing” and that driving under the influence of…
