Actual translation: "I do know that I'm right but can't back it up with any evidence therefore any discussion is going to be a long string of people making assertions they can't back up and probably descend into name-calling. Stuff about police statements about things like willingness to prosecute marijuana usage wouldn't count as evidence to support my argument any more than statements about 'it never being allowed' support the other side of the argument, meaning bringing them up would also just lead to a long, pointless argument that would again just descend into name-calling. And a discussion about the ethics of giving them drugs during a series in which they allowed Jade to spend an entire day drinking herself silly and eating nothing and Kate get so drunk that she couldn't even put on a pair of trousers would only lead to a long pointless discussion about whether marijuana is safer than alcohol to consume and both sides making groundless and unsupportable statements about what the producers' opinions on that issue is and would probably just end up with name-calling.

I can't be buggered with any of that. I know that I'm right and I don't care if anybody else believes me or not."

It is interesting that you don't seem to have a problem believing that it happened in the French house. France's anti-marijuana laws are so harsh they've been condemned by the European Court of Human Rights.

But there you go. I'm not going to get into a long and pointless argument about it. Neither one of us can support our arguments. Neither one of us is going to persuade the other one we're right. So you believe what you want to believe and I'll believe what I've seen with my own eyes. That way we're both happy.
