Addicted to the Irons

Looking at the hour-long debate on cannabis use on BBC News 24 last night, it struck me there's some parallels with being a West Ham supporter. Cannabis was much milder in the 1970s and 1980s but today's skunk is apparently much harder stuff capable of causing long-term psychological harm. West Ham seemed milder in the 1970s too. There were even a couple of legal highs in 1975 and 1980. The old West Ham just had a bit of TC but the modern version, purchased from a dealer in Stratford, has been cut with Chicharitos, purple Harts, blue Zabaletas, red Arnies, 57,000 white seats and numerous DG tweets. If over-indulged in it's capable of inducing depression, mood swings and psychosis. Young people, be very careful before you dabble in WHUFC — it's strong stuff.
