I figured out her not touching her things, was due to some emotional problem right before she said it in the Diary room. This woman has serious problems, and I have no sympathy. She's a ****ing monster!

I can't believe we have to take another week of this idiot.

She's weak, and I hope the hm break her down even more and give her a taste of her own medicine.

[Bright-Eyes]

After last night I think she is a long time weed smoker and is suffering withdrawl maybe. *hopes he does not get 50 people quoting calling him out*

Rather hypocritical of you to say you want the HMs to bully her back? Either bullying is good or bad, you shouldn't endorse both By saying you want them to do it back you're suggesting bullying is right.

Personally, I dislike Alex to no end, ugh - she riles me up even thinking of her - but I definitely don't think the HMs should break her down or bully her back. She needs help to deal with her issues and problems because at the moment she can't deal with things that may question her position as key person in her own mind. I somewhat feel sympathy for her.

Weed smoking has very low addictive qualities, so withdrawal is really simple. If it's drug related, it will be a more dangerous drug.

[fairymoon]

was in paper she spends 30 pound a day on weed .

[fairymoon]

but that wont make her the way she is weeds not that bad its the hard drugs that are

[I_got_a_jar_jars]

Hahha

What are you seaking about? Weed is really adictive, it mostly moves you onto higher drugs.

Anyway yeah Alex sucks. She is turning it into The Alex Show. =(

Bullying her back? I want them to FIGHT HER BACK!

Wasn't it her that was reportedly a crack addict in the Sun newspapers? Someone was quoted saying that she, (I think), didn't know how long she'd be able to last in the house without it.

That is so not true. Cigarettes are more addictive than weed, which is natural. Cigarettes have nicotine, and far more deadly carcinogens. And no, I'm not a weed smoker.

But if you have been using it a long time (and most people her age have) you can go through withdrawl and it makes you act the way she is.

Weed is not a hard drug and its not "really" addictive but it does become a part of peoples lives.

Cannabis is largely THC which isn't addictive.
It only moves people onto higher drugs because of human fallacy for them to start on cannabis.



A cup of coffee is harder to withdraw from.

I definitely think the high amount of weed she smokes has something to do with the paranoid state she gets in when Rex touches her stuff etc. And when she thinks people are questioning her authority and stuff.

That's true. Maybe Alex is a calm loving individual once she lights up.

[fairymoon]

its the nicotine was addictive not the weed, weed is a plant if she just had weed without the fags in it she would be fine

[stonedape]

Well I don't smoke weed or anything *looks over at avatar* but there's no way she'd still be going through withdrawals. However, that's not to say she wouldn't be a much more tolerable person if they gave her a joint every once in awhile.

And weed does not move you on to "higher drugs" unless you want to go there...I wouldnt even think about it. I personally can't even stand alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine... three legal drugs that are way more addictive than weed.

Addiction to Big Brother causes more problems in terms of getting work done, mental state, withdrawals, etc. than weed ever has.

Nah. Her "not taking her things" bit, is an emotional problem. It's that of a person who as a child, wants nothing to be taken from them, much like their family, or emotional support from loved ones. She probably had a lot taken from her in childhood. It's all control. We can go into a total psychological profile for, Alex, but quite honestly, I hate her too much to even care.

Yeah, I personally doubt weed has done anything apart from rile her up somewhat - was just offering an explanation to those that wanted to blame the ganja

I agree its a possessive control thing.

You can keep saying It is the most natural thing in the world and it comes from the ground but you cannot deny is does have a negative effect of people it can (sometimes) course mental health problems when people use in excessively for many years. It can make you very paranoid and snappy. Alex was kicked out of school at 15 for smoking it and apparently spends a lot of money everyday on them she is not just a casual user. Who would be unaffected by these side effects.

Yes, extremely long term and excessive use can cause problems.
But cause is the incorrect term, because by using the word cause you suggest that it is the sole contributor. Someone with a sound mind and not the pre determinants to psychological problems can smoke as much ganja as they want and it won't have any long term damage.

However, coupled with a pre determinant psychological problem, then weed can be a trigger for more problems. It alone, causes no problems. But can be a trigger.

It can only cause emotionally problems two ways:

You could be trying to get high to distance yourself from reality, and pain that you may be going through in your life.

It's affects make you sluggish, and you want nothing else to do but get high.

The whole, it's so addictive and dangerous, and blah, blah, blah, came from a bunch of right-wing groups who try to scare people into believing that if you smoke weird, you're going to die. It's the whole, "Think of the children!" It's a load of bunk, especially when alcohol, cigarettes, etc., are legal, which are extremely addictive, and cause major cancer.

Like I said, I gave two examples of how it could be abused, but that's a slim majority. It's insane that people are incarcerated for it. But anyway, back to BB and crack head, Alex. Yes, I think it's the crack, and not the pot. And I'm sticking to that!

Okay Yes I agree "cause" is the wrong word I should not have used it.

Anyway my last point is all im going to say about it. I think I have made the point I wanted.

It was bound to come We disagree on so many things there had to be something we shared ground on! Who'd have thought it'd be ganja.
