Today is considered "Weed Day" by marijuana smokers because the date, 4/20, corresponds with the numbers they use to refer to the drug. The actual origins of the term "420″ are not as widely known, but you can count on thousands of college students gathering — in some cases, together, and in very public locations — to celebrate doing something that's illegal.
For now, anyway.
Should marijuana be legalized?
Total Voters: 1,143
There is a growing shift in public opinion about whether marijuana should be legalized, even in the South, with as unlikely a proponent as Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson arguing that particular drug shouldn't be treated any differently than alcohol. Gary Johnson, a former governor of New Mexico and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate now seeking the Libertarian Party's 2012 nomination, has called for legalizing and regulating marijuana, citing the ineffectiveness and costliness of enforcing the ban. People in favor of keeping the current law argue that marijuana can be a "gateway drug" that leads users to experiment with harder, more harmful substances. Georgia's legislators haven't gone as far as legalizing pot, but this year they did pass an overhaul of the state's criminal code that calls for people in possession of small amounts of the drug to face alternatives to jail time.
So, a very simple Poll Position question for today: Should marijuana be legalized? Answer in the nearby poll and in the comments thread.

MarkV & Logical Dude,
I have already answered your questions @ 3:55 in answer to Kevin's question. Please read and then ask.
I am sorry that you say you have "lost your way". Is 0403 significant?
Religion has not been discussed in the particular blog, The discussion is on the legalization of marijuana. I believe marijuana is a very unhealthy substance which is detrimental to the lives of many. I think it also leads to substances even more harmful. I don't promote harmful substances.
Religions have not been discussed here although most religions point to a better life. I am a Christian and I hope our faith is never used to force the word of God down someone's throat. Christ offered us love and salvation and I say offered. It is the choice of each listener to make their own decision. But what a great offering!
Anyway, good luck with your future. Bye….

How is that any different now with it being illegal?

Car wrecks, no, they've done many studies and smoking pot is far better than driving to a bar drinking nd then driving home from the bar after drinking. Just like those COPS videos where you see stoned people completely pass field sobriety tests but going to jail for having weed and getting a DUI. This argument is propaganda. On that same not….alcohol: still legal!!!!!

Alcohol kills many people due to liver failure and car crashes. Alcohol is still legal. When you're stone you may eat a lot and be mellow. When you're drunk you will have lowered inhibitions and get behind the wheel because you think your fine.

@ Rusty,
You are confusing promoting and legalizing. Cigarettes are legal but are far from promoted, in fact it is illegal to advertise them on Billboards or sporting events. The harmfullness of a drug to my person has no effect on my personal liberty to use it. You have no right to take away any of my personal freedoms, none whatsoever. You might as well stop using the "bad for you" reason, that bucket holds no water.

Well being eighteen i have to say that it is going to eventually be legalized, the government cant just keep sending people to prison when they know it's unjustified, this generation is growing up and sees the absurdity of the whole thing, the harmlessness of marijuana.
Obviously young people have traditionally carried more leftist thinking, that rebellious, innovative nature we possess. But i've heard of no one ever dying from weed, we've had plenty of deaths in these four years at the highschool, many from drunk driving, not marijuana. Honestly people drive fine high, a bit too paranoid of cops, but very carefully all the same. Anyways i have never heard of a death from marijuana.
Recently however one young person has suffered from the drug, not the effects but the dealer who shot and killed him and his friend, over maybe 4 grams. It wasn't the drug that did this, but the legal standing that our government enforces upon us, forcing a blackmarket trade that is high in stake, both the physical danger and the awaiting prison sentence.
Anyways, this country of ours, truly the greatest nation ever to grace this earth is home to 1/4 of the worlds prisoners

You may think you have answered the questions, but I think few people would agree that you have presented a cogent argument. I think the most telling is your following statement: "As much as I like freedom of choice in major decisions for Americans, I find it hard to approve of any substance that poisons the life of Americans." I can't think of a more ambiguous and potentially freedom-restricting concept. If the issue you are addressing is merely your approval, then there should be no quarrel with it. But what is being discussed here is not "approval," it is criminalization. If you are in favor of criminalizing every substance that is by some measure unhealthy, then you are in favor of a complete suppression of individual freedom.

Same old song from me Kyle. Personally if someone wants to burn their brains out with whatever intoxicant that drives them into euphoria or a big dirt nap… well, go right ahead and kill yourself it that is your desire, as long as you don't kill or physically harm anyone or any things belonging to another, fine by me.
My other objections remain against Government taxing to "regulate drugs" or anything else for that matter. For those who don't know, which many don't, the federal tax on alcohol was the first case of "rightwing social engineering" in this country thank be to Alexander Hamilton. As Doctor Phil says… how's that working for you? It certainly didn't discourage consumption of alcohol like Hamilton had hoped. In fact, that first case of "rightwing social engineering", wherein the GUB'MENT used a tax to regulate something in the name of raising revenue to pay for government functions and operations was also the beginning of the "war on drugs". Needless to say most of us know just how well it hasn't worked. Oh government has made money off this scheme, all the while very seldom paying a penny one for the millions of addicts it profited from or may have, in some cases did aid and abed in becoming addicted.
Didn't take the time to read through all these comments but I'm sure someone felt real good about proudly saying how taxing marijuana if it were legalized would regulate it and give government a revenue stream but didn't say word one about a HUGE portion of that money being used to treat the addictions and diseases that will occur?
Yeah, thought so.
It doesn't take long for politicians to lose all their appetite for legalizing marijuana once you tell them that 1) they can't tax it 2) if they can tax it, at least 50% of the taxes collected shall pay for the treatment of any and all diseases and addiction that occur once government regulates by taxation of marijuana.

Because it's illegal, mostly the irresponsible people smoke pot. THIS MEANS MORE KIDS SMOKE POT THAN ADULTS BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL!!!!! Millions of teenagers smoke pot, however, few adults smoke it due to the war on marijuana. Legalizing it would get the marijuana trade out of kids hands and instead give it to adults. I'm not saying legalizing it would mean no kids would ever do it. I'm saying legalizing it would give way to more adults using this medicine, and less kids. The marijuana war puts marijuana in the hands of those less responsible —KIDS!!! LEGALIZE IT!!!!

Here is a thought for you peeps. Most of our drugs comes from south of the border. Does anyone here not think that the governments of those countries don't benefit greatly from all that cash flowing into their country ? In other words, if you put the latino drug cartels out of business those countries would probably be bankrupt in a week.
It's like the USA and tobacco and alcohol. The US goobermint gets a ton of money from those industries. Since I don't drink or smoke [ AND also have seen first hand the devastation of lung cancer and the devastation caused by drunk drivers ] I would be more than happy for tobacco and alcoholic beverages to be outlawed. The problem is that my taxes would go up dramatically. Also, think of how many people die young from tobacco use and from drunks driving. Those people pay into SS but never get the bene's. This keeps SS from going broke even sooner.

The real question should be – 'Should Marijuana remain illegal'? The answer would have to be 'no'.. Those who can justify the illegal status should post scientific poof defending their stand justifying sending people to jail for this rather innocuous plant rather than them simply parroting old drug war propaganda.
73 +/- years of illegality versus thousands of years of human use without a single overdose – (it's impossible to overdose on marijuana). That pretty much speaks for itself.
I'm sure that our forefathers (Adams, Franklin, Washington to name a few loser deadbeats who consumed recreational marijuana and ended up as founders of the most influential world power in history) would be criminals today. They would not tolerate this affront on our rights as individuals and the absolutely disgraceful erosion of our personal liberties in the name of a "drug war" (aka – profiteers in the pharma industry, 'enforcement' and prisons all benefit from the status quo).

medicinal value of Marijuana?
Page two…
When is used in the form of eatables I would agree legitimate medicinal value probably exist but don't even try to convenience me or anyone else that knows first hand what smoking tobacco will do to the human body that smoking marijuana will not cause lung damage or disease. It's not an argument of will smoking marijuana cause lung damage or disease, it is only a argument of how long and how much shall it take before it occurs to an individual who smokes marijuana.

Actually carlosgv, I admit to smoking pot and then driving. And I don't see it as nearly as much of a problem as when I've had a lot of coffee and got behind the wheel. Or that time I tried ritalin in high school because the freakin' school counselor wanted me to try it and my doctor gave me a prescription. Of course that's without even mentioning the unknown long term effects of a drug like ritalin that we force-feed to kids.
Tell you what, I'll get high as a kite and challenge you to any sort of test or competition you want. I'll beat you in a driving test, I'll beat you on the SAT, I'll beat you in test after test after test. Anything you name except a running race, because I always sucked at that anyway.

I don't understand what's so bad about legalizing it. I'm a police officer and I've gotten to the point where if you just have a small amount I will make you empty out and step on it. It is retarded. Our government just runs all over us. It's time we take an actual stand instead of falling for the next form of internet activism. Stop trying to make marijuana pharmaceutical and just legalize it completely. Let's help America make the money it desperately needs!

On 29-Nov-2011, a study was published by University of Colorado Denver Professor Daniel Rees and Montana State University Assistant Professor D. Mark Anderson showing states that have legalized medical marijuana experience fewer fatal car crashes compared to states that have not. The researchers suggest that there may be fewer fatal drunk driving accidents in those jurisdictions because more people may be choosing to smoke marijuana instead of making the more dangerous choice of consuming alcohol – both traffic fatalities and alcohol consumption declined.
The rate of fatal crashes in which a driver had consumed any alcohol dropped 12% after medical marijuana was legalized, and crashes involving high levels of alcohol consumption fell 14%. The study thoroughly accounted for other contributing factors regarding this decrease, such as changes in the number of miles traveled each year and new traffic laws.
"Our research suggests that the legalization of medical marijuana reduces traffic fatalities through reducing alcohol consumption by young adults," – Daniel Rees, professor of economics at the University of Colorado Denver who co-authored the study with D. Mark Anderson, assistant professor of economics at Montana State University.
So, the prohibitionist scare-tactic of claiming there would be an increase in traffic fatalities if marijuana were to be legally regulated for all adults should now be banished to the fantasy realm from whence it came.
* Hall & Hommel (2007) considered whether there was "sufficient evidence to discourage cannabis users from driving by conducting roadside drug testing. They concluded that there was "no scientifically persuasive evidence that" random drug testing has saved lives.
Similarly, Weatherburn et al. (2003) argued "there are no solid grounds for asserting that cannabis intoxication is a major cause of road trauma". Consideration needs to be given to evidence that THC serum concentration does not always denote impairment (Bedard et al. 2007). — Laumon et al.'s (2005) conclusion corroborates these findings and reports that the role of cannabis in "fatal crashes is significantly lower than that associated with [any] positive blood alcohol concentration."
Whilst Grotenhermen et al. (2007) do suggest that a concentration of 7-10 ng/ml is comparable to a blood alcohol content of 0.05%, Bedard et al. report that the "frequency of drinking and driving and the severe impact of alcohol on driving abilities are well beyond what has been shown with cannabis".

850,000 people are arrested every year in the U.S. for possessing cannabis and yet cannabis smokers appear to have no problem obtaining all the cannabis they want. Our taxes – OUR hard-earned money – are spent enforcing the prohibition without it ever having any hope of achieving its single goal of preventing cannabis use! Are we all so rich that this isn't a big deal?
And while cannabis itself is safer than coffee and FAR safer than beer and wine, the prohibition of cannabis diverts more than $10 Billion a year to organized crime – causing the brutal death of more than 50,000 people in the past five years. So YES – the production and sale of cannabis to adults SHOULD be legalized, taxed and regulated just like tobacco and alcohol.
Humans have used cannabis for more than 5,000 years without it causing a single verifiable death. Cannabis doesn't cause cancer, heart disease, brain damage, liver disease, emphysema, or any other significant health issue, and its addiction potential is about on par with coffee. But cannabis' safety and remarkable medicinal properties shouldn't be the reason to legalize it, the reason cannabis should be legalized is the same reason that alcohol was legalized – because far more harm is caused keeping it illegal than making it legal.

If they really cared for the children they'd legalize and regulate marijuana. If they really wanted to keep any substance out of the hands of "The Children" they first must take control of distribution away from black market dealers. They haven't accomplished that in 40+ years at a taxpayers cost in the hundreds of billions. It's time to treat marijuana as we do alcohol. My 27 year old daughter still gets carded when she buys alcohol, yet your 13 year old can buy anything the black market dealer has for a price whether it be money or "something else".

@Dusty and his government propaganda filled brain,
It was PROVEN that when people are drunk on alcohol, that they feel like they're driving 30mph, but are really going 60mph. When you're high on Marijuana it feels like you're driving 60 and are really going 30. Therefore, if you are intoxicated on Marijuana you are more of a cautious, defensive driver. It is SAFER to drive high than when you're even SOBER. You really need to research YOURSELF and look at the facts on how harmless this plant really is.

this is my oppinion… people driving while on cell phones kills more people than cannabis, alcohol kills more people than cannabis, tobbacco kills more people than cannabis, pain pills kill more than cannabis, it is proven that alcohol is more of a gateway drug than cannabis, several strains of cannabis is proven to stop or cure several forms of cancer including breast cancer(save the boobies) the ld 50 (lethal dose to kill 50 percent of the population) of cannabis is 500,000 meaning it would take 20,000 joints to kill one person and they would have to smoke it in less than one hour. cannabis is known to lower blood pressure, increase brain activity, cure cancer, help with nausea in cancer patients, halps arthritis patients like me actually be able to function by acting as a pain killer. so the question is why should conservatives and the government not want to make it legal???? becasue there is too much money being made off of arresting people for using a plant.. and here is one more fact, there is a HUGE difference in smoking a little to medicate yourself and smoking all day long and being stoned!!!!!

gibfor: Part of the problem is that it's not conservatives who are against legalizing it. There are as many or more liberals who are against, even in this comment thread. Carlosgv, for instance, who is always on the liberal side of every issue.
Especially today conservatives are far closer to libertarians than liberals are, and the libertarians definitely want legalization. So rail against conservatives all you want, but if you want justice on this issue, go after the hypocrite liberals who preach freedom while enacting laws that force everyone to live how liberals think we should live. They are the true authoritarians.

@ AJ Marijuana should never have been made illegal! History clearly show the reasons for it becoming illegal and none of them are valid.

Legalize them all. Who cares about the addicts, it's called natural selection. The kids that will "suffer" from bad parenting are already doing it. I wish I could find the article I read, but it's pretty much common sense: Ask a middle to high schooler which is easier to get, pot or alcohol. Pot is much easier to get because dealers don't check IDs, while gas stations do.

You know I am really torn on the entire subject of individual liberty. I want to live in a free society where everyone has the right to do as they please as long as they are not harming others. In that vein why shouldn't pot be legal, as well as other substances, as well as pornography & prostitution for that matter. But on the other hand I believe that while such behavior might not be immediately harmful to other individuals it is ultimately very harmful to society as a whole on numerous levels.

zeke. you said " It has been proven to be a gateway drug. Not everyone, but, probably a majority of those who use become unhappy with the high and want a bigger one. Then comes heroine, cocaine, crack! NO, DO NOT LEGALIZE IT!!"
That is entirely false. the gateway theory has never had any proof and has been completely disproved. look at Amsterdam. since the legalization of marijuana, the usage amount of every other drug has plummeted. if the gateway theory were true the other drug usage percentages would have gone way up. people who elevate to harder drugs are people who would have been willing to do them to begin with.
Some good advice… on a argumentative discussion page never use the word probably. you will get ridiculed and embarrassed.

When Friends and Family Come Together: Helping Captain Edward Klein
Election Day is a day not only to cast our ballot but also to reflect on and appreciate the things that make our vote possible – such as the efforts of our country's service men and women.
While there are differing opinions on defense, combat, and the armed forces, what is invariant is the sympathy and empathy we feel for those who suffer injury and loss.
Captain Edward Klein was struck by an I.E.D. and has suffered major injuries. Doing her part to try and help, Amanda Martinez is running a Crowdtilt campaign to raise donations for Captain Klein and his family:
The campaign has raised over $5,500 and is continuing to collect contributions through Veteran's Day.
As we head to the polls today, and as those of us in the Northeast continue to recover from Hurricane Sandy, our thoughts are as ever with the men, women, and families suffering individual pain – just as our hearts are as ever warmed to see others join us in giving what we can.
Maybe there is someone specific in your thoughts and heart who could use a bit of help right now. Whether you contribute to a campaign, share a campaign, or start a campaign, like Amanda did for the Klein family, we here at Crowdtilt are dedicated to helping people do more together.

"A Kodak Moment"
yummy pumpkin pie baking in pie crust pan
hubby playing Chef, he's my kinda man
but with five ornery pets
while their appetite gets
shake, rattle and roll chimed from tin can.
the oven whistled steamy and hot
soon the Chef lost his temper, threw a pot
puppies scattered for cover
as two kitties did hover
kitchen looked like the land time forgot,
laughter is the best medicine to cure
any nasty situation one might endure
a kodak moment to smile
lasts longer than a little while
pumpkin pie still holds magical allure.
*For Vienna's Smile Your on Candid Camera.

CSS goes haywire on Cubepoints pages
Hi, love the plugin!
I'm running WordPress/Buddypress/bbPress/Genesis framework on my site here: http://bit.ly/vDPXD3
Everything works great, and I've added the CubePoints buddypress addition too.
However, whenever I go to any of the CubePoints pages on my site, my custom.css page isn't recognized, and as a result, the site looks like it did before my customizations (like a mess). See here for example: http://bit.ly/FRc6jh
I haven't been able to figure out why and I've been going crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

High-Yield 'BRICs' to Help Build Your Portfolio
As first noted by Goldman Sachs, the fastest-growing economies during the next half-century are going to be Brazil, Russia, India and China -- BRIC, for short. Investing in these emerging markets can provide excellent returns.
However, before putting your money to work in companies with exposure to these countries, remember that there are more risks than investing in U.S. stocks.
First, the accounting standards in other countries are not as reliable as ours. Second, there are currency and inflation risks. Finally, there are political risks, especially with former Communist countries.
Fortunately, there is a way to reduce these risks: by choosing stocks that pay high-yield dividends.At Stockpickr, we keep track of the Highest-Yielding BRIC stocks that trade in the U.S. These are companies that are paying dividends out of their hard-earned cash flows. There are plenty of dividend-paying stocks from China that have ADRs and that trade in the U.S. China is one of the world's oldest civilizations, the birthplace of major inventions such as papermaking, printing, the compass and gunpowder. A very high dividend-payer is Aluminum Corp. of China (ACH), which purportedly pays a yield of about 7.7%. However, dividend payments at the company have varied greatly; there were two payments in 2006, but only one payment in each year from 2002 to 2005, ranging from 13 cents to 53 cents per share. The company's trailing P/E is 2.6, and its price-to-book ratio for the most recent quarter is 0.7.

You can associate up to four devices with your Xbox Music Pass. These can include tablets or computers running Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 RT, Zune devices, and Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 7 devices.
After you have associated a device with your Xbox Music Pass, you can download and sync content to that device. You can also stream music content from Xbox Music to tablets or computers running Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 RT, and Windows Phone 8.
You can stream music to your Xbox One or Xbox 360 console, but you can't download music to those consoles. For example, you can download music to your Windows 8.1 computer, sync that music to your Windows Phone 8, and then because your music is now in the cloud, you can stream it to your Xbox 360 console.
Once you download or sync music from your Xbox Music Pass to a computer or other device, that computer or device will be associated with your Xbox Music Pass for at least 30 days.
If you want to change the computers or devices that are associated with your Xbox Music Pass (for example, if you want to replace your home computer with your work computer), you can swap out two computers or devices every 30 days.
Here's how to see which devices you've associated with your Xbox Music Pass:
To remove a computer or device from your Music Pass
Open your account. (For information about how to do this, see the "View devices that are associated with your Xbox Music Pass" section.) Then, click Remove next to the name of the computer or device.
To add a Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 PC or tablet to your Xbox Music Pass
Download an Xbox Music Pass item from the Xbox Music Store to your computer. It will be added automatically.
To add a Windows Phone 8 to your Xbox Music Pass
Download an Xbox Music Pass item to your computer. Sync that item with your Windows Phone 8. Your Windows Phone 8 will be added automatically to your Xbox Music Pass.

Get away without going away, with our new biscayne.
You are unique, and your outdoor haven should be too. So with the new Biscayne collection, you have choices galore. Customize it for your needs and taste. Nothing beats a super-functional outdoor space that projects your personal style.
We are passionate about bringing the "custom" experience to everyday furnishings. It's how our style and design teams like to live, and it's what we do in all the other parts of our business; why not with outdoor furniture too?
In creating the new Biscayne collection, our challenge was to create a frame that could be a trusty semi-customizable chameleon – one to satisfy a range of people with a range of tastes and budgets – while always retaining distinctiveness and chic.
The new Biscayne offers a strong, low-maintenance cast-aluminum frame; versatile, go-anywhere style; and unparalleled choice. Dine al fresco on a rectangular table or a round one: choose from three tabletops (glass and two kinds of marble); and select from three chair sizes and three ways to sprawl (chaise lounge, settee, and chair plus ottoman). Depending on the look you want, opt for one of three finishes: Bronze, Onyx, or Graphite.
And then, of course, revel in your upholstery choices! We've got a great selection of handsome weather-hardy outdoor fabrics. Another option is to choose one of our 44 newest performance fabrics which have been designed to better withstand exposure to sunlight and other weathering conditions. They are stain repellent, mold and mildew resistant, and are easy to clean.
These fabrics are so versatile that they are a perfect choice for both indoor and outdoor living due to their lower maintenance, beautifully soft, and high-style design.
Explore Biscayne and feel free to ask a design pro for guidance as you plan and create your look.
Classic design. Modern perspective.℠top of page

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- A Phoenix man suspected of robbing two Tempe pharmacies within the past week is now in custody.
Tempe police announced Tuesday that 23-year-old Angelo Moreno was being held in connection with robberies on Feb. 4 and 8.
Police say Moreno claims to be addicted to Xanax, a legal tranquilizer that can be prescribed for anxiety.
Authorities say a man entered a CVS pharmacy near Baseline Road and Priest Drive on Feb. 4 and demanded prescription medications.
Witnesses say the man handed a note to the employees, but when they didn't respond quickly, he jumped over the counter and the pharmacist gave him the pills.
On Feb. 8, police say a man made similar threats while robbing a Walgreens pharmacy near Baseline Road and Priest Drive.
No injuries were reported.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Elastoplast aerosol plaster is simply that. Spray it onto minor wounds and grazes to form a breathable and clear flexible film that seals out soil, water and bacteria.
Among the finest things about that product is the fact that it removes the 'aaaaargggh!' component of common plasters wears off over several days once used. It is the product for anybody that really doesn't enjoy the pain of removing an average plaster from a tender wound scab away and to get the plaster tearing skin. It is not difficult to apply and dries rapidly and your wound can heal naturally and rapidly, also it stays on in shower and the bath. It is exceptionally flexible, so great for use etc. to joints,
It is great for wearing under clothing also - where I discovered a common plaster to cause pain to your wound on my hip, on account of the movement of my garments pulling over it as I walked, the clothing go readily within the 2nd skin created via this product, causing no distress.
Determined by where it is applied, how tight your garments are it can stick to your own garments on removal of clothing because of heat, causing a little bit of distress, but nothing get closed to the pain of removing an average plaster.
Can not be applied to a wound that was seeping, as the spray will not dry, so the wound will not seal.
Don't use in the facial skin. Prevent contact with mucous membranes and eyes. Don't use on deep, contaminated or secreting burns or wounds. A prickling sensation may happen briefly upon use. Don't inhale the spray. Solvent abuse can kill instantaneously.
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Keep from sources of ignition - don't smoke. Keep out of range of kids.
I can not believe that I am writing a review on something as fundamental as plasters. But it would go to demonstrate that it is well worth the cash and a great product. It is around GBP5.99 and you could get it from chemists and various Supermarkets.
At first, I was undecided on the merits of the Elastoplast spray plaster. At almost £6, it seemed a little expensive, so I din't really want to buy it, if it wasn't going to work.
Following an injury I picked up whilst rowing where I sustained a deep blister down to the muscle at the base of my finger (on the inside), I found it very difficult to apply normal plasters as it was in such an awkward place. Because of this, I had to find an alternative.
I bought the spray on plaster as it promised to give effective protection from infection and to keep and small wounds, blisters etc clean and dry. It certainly gave the protection I had hoped for but stung massively when I applied it! It is easy to use and a little goes a long way-I have used it many times since then and still find I have plenty left.
I don't think it replaces traditional plasters for everything, but is certainly useful for things like grazes where a thin film is more easily applied than a bulky plaster.
People have said that it is expensive; in reality it is not really that bad-it markets itself on being able to cover around 50 wounds. If you think of the price of 50 odd plasters, it would probably equate to more than £6 dependant on the size of the wound and the frequency in which the plaster needs changing.
Overall, I would recommend this product for difficult places where you need coverage but can't fit a plaster. Stings a bit on application though!
I bought the spray plaster because I have a habit of picking up minor scratches etc and it's useful to have a bit of handy waterproof anti bacterial protection.
The can is small and easy to keep in sports bag- especially handy for swimming.
The spray is easy to apply and fairly quick drying. It is advisable to have a tissue or similar to quickly wipe off overspill (although leaving it where it is probably wouldn't do any harm). Also be aware that it is a bit sticky before drying.
It does sting slightly when applied to broken skin. It passes very quickly but do be aware especially if applying on a child.
Once in place the plaster is clear and almost invisible. It does shine a little bit.
The spray is not a substitute plaster for a deeper cut as it will not stem bleeding or absorb blood.
The plaster does not need to be removed like a traditional one. It gradually comes away her a few days due to washing etc. It can be a bit messy if scratched off so discourage this.
All in all I would recommend it for minor cuts, scratches and abrasions.
My little girl is always tripping over and cutting herself and needs a plaster for the slightest little cut! She is very dramatic.
I was sick of picking up dirty plasters from around the house that had come off so decided to go to the chemist and ask if they had some that were really strong and would stay in place longer.
It was then that I heard about Elastoplast spray plaster. The lady behind the counter said she had used it on her son and that it was brilliant. I have to say I wasn't convinced but thought I would give it a go.
It certainly isn't cheap! I paid £6 for a can of it. The can held 30g so wasn't big, the lady in the shop told me that the little can would do approx 50 applications which sounded fine she also said it was waterproof which again is a bonus when you have children.
The thing that I thought was good about this product when I started to read about it is that it prevents bacteria from entering the wound which I thought was good and was something extra to what a standard plaster would do
I took it home and waited for the next disaster to occur and for her to come running in demanding a plaster. I only had to wait 1 day!
I followed the instructions when I used it which is to wash the area that is cut and then spray the area with the Elastoplast. It was very easy to apply and just coated the area with a thin layer. My daughter thought it was amazing.
You can hardly see it when it's done which is good especially if you have kids that wear skirts etc and you don't want them constantly covered in dirty plasters. This product really is brilliant you can just go about your day as normal she had a bath, went swimming etc and nothing affected it. After a couple of days it just gradually wore off and by that time the wound was healed anyway.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with kids or who uses a lot of plasters yourself
Ok, I admit that when I first bought this product it was not actually for use on humans. This was purchased as my vet suggested it might be the ideal thing to use on my dogs paws, as he was having lots of trouble with road salt getting in to the cracks on his paws. I searched around at purchased this in my local chemist. At £6.75 for the little tin, I did find it very expensive but it does say that it should last for 50 uses, and it is something different so I figured it was worth a go.
On the dog, this simply didn't work. I found that it skooshed out of the tin far too quickly, meaning it was virtually impossible to apply a thin layer as the directions suggest. It dried quickly but didn't seem to form any sort of protective barrier and was pretty much as good as useless. I chucked it in the medicine cupboard and forgot about it until recently when my husband cut himself chopping an onion.
Pleased to get the chance to try this out on a human, I dug it out and followed the directions. Again, I felt that too much came out. It dried completely invisible so it was impossible to tell whether a barrier had been formed. The directions state that the seal should last for 2-3 days however hours later, after washing his hands a few times, my husband was peeling bits of gum from the area around his cut. In the end up, we dug out the traditional plasters and used these instead.
Overall, I think that this is a great idea but this product just didn't work for us.
We bought this as a handy option to carry around and as something which could potentially provide immediate relief if one of the family cut themselves.
Unfortunately I think we were just wanting to see how new technology worked and wanting to try something different. After using this for a while I've decided we should go back to old fashioned plasters, as I didn't enjoy using these at all.
In essence the Elastoplast spray plaster should allow you to spray over an area with a cut or graze and it provides a transparent, breathable and flexible film over the graze, so it is a plaster but doesn't feel rigid and firm to the touch, but ensures your cut can't become infected. It seals out germs, water and dirt, so will stay firm in the bath or shower as well as in other areas.
The plaster lasts a few days and eventually dissolves once it has protected your skin for the most difficult early days after a cut.
The spray comes in a small silver and red canister which looks very attractive and can fit into a small bag or pocket easily enough.
I have to say this product is useful for the most minor abrasion, but for a real cut it doesn't work so well. I have cut myself with a kitchen knife, sprayed this over the bleeding area and initially recoiled through the stinging pain of the spray before having to quickly wash my hands and start again as the plaster did little to stem the bleeding.
Equally I have used this in the sea and local swimming baths and it doesn't stick in water as well as claimed, meaning I end up finding the plaster has disappeared shortly after leaving the water.
This was an experiment that didn't work, a small pack of plasters is even more compact than this spray and I know they will protect a cut immediately, whilst it means I might also need to carry a cream like savlon or other antiseptic variety to protect from bacteria I feel much more confident that this would actually work, whilst I have no confidence in this product as too often it has ended up a as a plastic mess which I just couldn't wait to wash off.
At £7 for 32ml this isn't cheap or decent value for money, its not something we will try again as we'll return to conventional plasters from now on. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
I want more from an expensive cutting edge product than the ability to treat minor abrasions, as I could easily do this with some cold water, I wanted something which did exactly what it said it could, unfortunately this looks nice as a product but isn't what I wanted.
I usually buy traditional plasters, although as a nurse I am aware of spray coverings to wounds although I had never seen these outside of the clinical environment. I was intrigued as to how the Elastoplast Spray Plaster actually worked and so I purchased it really only for this purpose! The spray plaster comes in a stray can that contains 32mls of the spray plaster solution and this costs £6.65 from Boots. If you compare this to the price of normal plasters then it is really quite expensive and I felt it would have to be pretty good to actually be economically viable to choose this over traditional plasters. Apparently there is enough applications in this can to last for 40 applications, but obviously this is dependent on the area that you are spraying and I would have to say that this is quite a generous overestimation of the number of applications that this can would deliver.
The idea is that this spray is sprayed onto an area that you would traditionally use a plaster on. Obviously it is intended for minor injuries and anything more major that requires skin closure techniques requires medical treatment, but in terms of just covering and protecting a minor wound then this is the what the product is for. Spraying the spray on is simple and it is delivered by a typical aerosol style nozzle that you direct onto the area where you want it by holding it about 10cm away from the wound. It is delivered in a fine mist, although if you get too close to the wound then it actually is wetter and it can drip and so it's important to have it a little way away from the area. When it is first put on, it is cold and so can feel like a little short, sharp shock to the system, but it doesn't sting or hurt and so it's even okay for young children. Once it is on, it is possible to see that it's slightly shiny and plasticky looking - but it's fairly subtle and it is certainly less unsightly than an Elastoplast plaster. Over time, the plastic coating dissolved, and if you were in the bath or swimming for a prolonged period of time then it dissolved quicker, but generally it would last for a few days.
One of the negative points of this plaster is that the area needs to have stopped bleeding before the spray is applied, otherwise you just end up with a bit of a mess. The other point, particularly if this is being used on children, is that often children are "better" and less upset once the plaster has been applied and they can't see the cut or graze anymore. With this product the plaster seal is transparent and so the child can continually see the wound and so seems to remain more upset for longer. Having said that, a major advantage is that it seals the whole area while remaining breathable - whereas often plasters do not provide an all round seal and allow the wound area to breath. There is also no pain in removing the plaster and so there is no ripping the plaster from the skin and holding your breath as you do so!
I don't think I'm a convert really with this product. Maybe if it comes down in price then I might consider buying it again in the past, but I just don't think it's worth the extra pennies as it really does the same job.
I recently cut the top of my finger with a sharp knife, not badly but enough to need a plaster for a few days. The cut was in an awkward place and I found it impossible to keep a plaster on it all the while. One of my colleagues recommended I give Spray Plaster a try. As I was going through plasters like they were going out of fashion I took her advise and popped to Tesco in my lunch break.
I bought a can of Elastoplast Spray Plaster, it wasn't cheap! It cost £6.20 for a small 30g can, but if it stayed in place I thought it would be worth it.
The can comes in a cardboard sleeve which is navy blue and red, it has Elastoplast written across the top. It claims to give "instant action against bacteria". The front of the packaging also tells us that it is waterproof, transparent and the small can contains 50 applications.
The back of the package gives the directions for use, very easy just clean and dry the wound then hold the can 5 - 10 cm's from the wound an spray a light coating covering the wound. It also gives some cautions:-
Do not use on the face
Avoid contact with eyes and mucus membranes
Do not use on infected, deep or secreting wounds
Do not inhale the spray.
The can is mainly silver with a small clear plastic pull of lid and contains the same information as the packaging.
When I got back to work I washed and dries the cut as instructed and sprayed the Elastoplast on the wound. Now this is much easier said than done. When I tried to press the nozzle to spray I really struggled. The nozzle is so hard to press! I'm not weak but it really took all my strength to actually get some liquid out.
When I finally got the spray to work the liquid gave a nice thin coating over my finger. Its totally clear and smells very strongly of glue( evostick my Mum informs me). The spray plaster dried very quickly and gave a slightly shiny appearance to my skin. Not obvious though, you would have to look hard to spot it. It did feel very slightly rubbery for a minuet or 2 but this soon wore off.
The plaster acts like a second skin, its waterproof and breathable and its brilliant! I could do my work without the plaster coming of and getting stuck to the keyboard all the time. I could wash my hands (something I do a lot, I'm diabetic and with testing my blood and injections I need to keep them really clean) The waterproof plaster is fantastic. I really forgot it was there. There's nothing more annoying than having to keep putting a new plaster on every time you get your hands wet.
As promised the spray plaster gradually wore off and by this time my cut had healed.
I rally like this product, it has one small fault and that's the spray button on top being so hard to press. I wondered if this was some sort of child proofing because I doubt very much any small child would be able to press this. It would be difficult for those with hand problems too. My Mum has Lupus and would never manage to press this. But this aside the spray plaster is excellent. Its ideal for adults and children. It can be sprayed in awkward places. It keeps the wound clean nd dry.
Being invisible is another bonus for me, I'm a qualified manicurist and take pride in my nails and hands, as do a lot of us girls, so I hate plasters round fingers. This product eliminates the need for this.
The Elastoplast Spray Plaster offers an ideal solution for a quick way to seal small cuts without needing to use regular plasters.
If, like me, you're sick and tired of using the same old fabric/plastic plasters, this will be ideal. The problem I find is that regular plasters simply don't last. Just washing hands is enough to weaken them and mean they have to be regularly replaced. Even the waterproof ones appear to fail miserably, and I became incredibly irritated with them. When you add to this the fact that they are hardly ever 'breathable', using regular plasters can be a real chore.
I therefore decided to try something new in this Spray Plaster can, and have been pleased with the results. To use it, you simply spray the can on the cut and a plastic-like, protective and invisible layer forms over it. I've been most impressed with its flexibility, that's to say it has worked well on areas on which traditional plasters are awkward to put on (such as on the elbow). You are strongly advised against applying on the face or near ears/eyes, according to the can.
On small cuts, like a graze on the knee or on your hand, it is ideal for keeping out bacteria and dirt. Recently, whilst cutting some vegetables, my brain opted to cut my finger instead (I'm sure some of you will recognise the situation!) so I needed a quick plaster solution to keep it free of infection. I simply rinsed the cut, quelled the bleeding with a napkin and then sprayed the plaster on it. It stung for around 10 seconds, as I expected from the can's instructions, but after that a clear protective film enveloped the cut. I was washing my hands regularly through the cooking process and was happy to see it remained wholly intact. What's more, it's so unobtrusive that you'll forget it's even there.
In terms of healing time, I noticed that my cut healed a lot more quickly than when I'd previously used regular plasters. I guess the reduced hassle in not having to constantly change plasters worked to the can's advantage and sealed it quicker than conventional fabric plasters. It's waterproof structure also meant it was more resistant, so it lasted even until after my cut had fully healed. It really is a very neat product.
Sadly, it'll cost you. You could call it compact (and it is at only 32.5ml) but at £3+ it's unfortunately very expensive for what it is. Unless traditional plasters really annoy you, it is therefore probably more cost-effective to just use normal plasters instead, despite the obvious benefits of this product.
The ingredients according to the can are as follows: Poly(methylacrylate-isobutene-monoisopropylmaleate), ethyl acetate, pentane, menthol, carbon dioxide. No active ingredients are stated on the can.
Does exactly what is says on the tin, and does it well, but buying a can will set you back quite a bit of cash for what it offers.
We all use plasters at sometime or other in our lives and they can be a little bit of a nuisance when they keep falling off fingers etc and we have to keep replacing them constantly.
I like everyone have a medicine chest and it is usually stocked with lots of plasters and I also carry a few in my handbag for those little emergencies outdoors.
I was on my holidays last year and my hubby cut his finger on a doorway and the plasters kept falling off his finger and the cut was quite big and sore and so he had to keep replacing the covering and we popped into a supermarket to see if there had anything better to use and we found this delightful little product.
It comes in a nice small little silver and red canister with clear top and it has a spray nozzle and when sprayed onto the wound or cut it has a clear liquid that has a strong smell and it is tacky until it dries and it leaves a clear thin film over the wound and it keeps it nice and clean, just in the same way as a plaster but without the dressing.
It is absolutely brilliant and all that is needed is for you to clean the affect area before applying the product, hold the can 5 to 10cm away from the wound and spray a light coating and leave to completely dry.
After a few days it gradually disappears and then can be re applied if necessary and it does last a couple of days and you can place your hands in water and it is still fine but my hubby did re apply it after he washed and that was because he felt it probably needed a top up and it was then perfectly fine as before.
The skin can breathe and the and it is transparent on the skin, which is better than looking at a ugly plaster, especially if you are at work.
It is not to be used on very deep wounds and infected areas as it can cause an irritation.
For a 32ml can it cost around £5.97 or even cheaper, depending where it is bought but it is well worth the money and it contains at least
It is a must in my household now and for keeping out water and the healing process, I recommend it to anyone to try, especially if you have children as they are always falling and have lots of cuts and grazes.
I give it 5 stars.
Thank you for reading my review.
I'm a bit of a sucker for new innovative products, and when I saw this spray plaster on one of my many small- child induced trips to the first aid section, I was intrigued. It seemed very Space Age. I didn't buy any for a while, as at around £6 it seemed a lot to pay for a small 32ml can. As the product's name would suggest the can contains a product that contains a protective film that you spray onto wounds, it dissolves over time.
In a rash supermarket spending moment I finally took the plunge and bought some of this to go on holiday, and having used it now for a couple of months I have to say I am actually converted and think that this product is a great invention.
The spray on plaster comes in a small can which is about 10cms high. They've updated the packaging to indicate that there is enough in this can for 50 applications, we haven't quite reached this figure but I have used this a fair amount and the can still seems fairly full - a little goes a long way.
The spray plaster is designed to be used on minor cuts and grazes, and according to the manufacturer should not be used near the eye, nose or mouth, for obvious reasons. More information about the safe use of this product is available on the packaging, and I will also post a link at the bottom of this review, but from my experience this plaster is ideal for grazed knees or cut fingers. You shouldn't spray it on to a cut that is bleeding heavily, and should apply after you have applied pressure to ease bleeding.
When you spray the plaster, it does smell quite plasticky; it reminds me of nail varnish and verrucca paint mixed together, hardly pleasant but not overpoweringly smelly, and thankfully odourless once dry! It is easy to use, and the nozzle makes it easy to direct onto wounds, even those of wiggling children. I find when you spray on the plaster it does sting quite a lot for about 30 seconds, (the can says it might sting for a few seconds, I believe it to be a little longer). The stinging is presumably due to one of the components of this product, it's not painful particularly but you can certainly notice it. After you have sprayed it on it covers a wound with a very thin film that you can not really see with the naked eye, apart from as a slight sheen. It dries fairly quickly, I would say in under a minute. Once dry it's not like a peelable face pack that you can peel off, as I had imagined - though if you did need to remove it, it should dissolve with alchohol wipes. It is sort of like having a new layer of thin artificial skin, which I guess is the point.
Compared to using a normal plaster, this is quicker and easier. The can fits nicely into my handbag for emergency use, and it is good to know that the spray plaster is breathable. I generally apply it having cleaned the wound with water or a wipe.
Recently I cut my thumb and found that a normal plaster was a bit of a hindrance to everyday tasks, such as peeling potatoes and dressing my children. I found that this spray plaster was great on what was a minor niggly cut and after use I could forget that I had a cut thumb at all and just get on as normal. The plaster stayed on through washing up and the usual mundane everyday tasks, and by the time it dissolved my cut was healed. This can is ideal too for those very minor wounds that children get, I find kids are quite comforted by the idea of a plaster as they think it makes them better, so just a small squirt of this, or even actually a small pretend squirt if I deem the wound to be microscopic, seems to be enough.
This item might seem expensive, in fact about twice the price of normal adhesive plasters by my calculations, your can currently buy 40 normal plasters for about £2.50, but I think it is worth it. Prior to having this we used to get through a silly amount of traditional plasters, so careful use of this might actually be cheaper in the long run. Highly recommended.
Ingredients as per the can: Acrylic coploymer, ethyl acetate,pentane, menthol, carbon dioxide. Normal precautions for aerosols apply - there is a very scary "highly flammable" label.

I have only ever used a tin of the elastoplast spray plaster and that was to try it out. Im quite an accident prone person and spend alot of time using plasters which not only are a little annoying but can be quite cross contaminating in my line of work. In anycase i thought that i would give this a whirl, I bought the spray plaster at an local pharmacist for about 4 -5 pounds which I thought was great value if I got lots of applications out of it. On my first attempt at using the spray I found that when I sprayed it on my cut it felt cold and stung for a while in the generalised area of application. It took a good minute for the plaster to dry and although it covered the cut but it also covered my whole hand which in turn made my hand feel like it had white school glue on it. However it didnt crack when i moved my hand so that was rather a positive thing. I have tried on may different occassions different ways to spray on the plaster but if I do it at the recommended length then the spray goes every where and if I spray it closer it then makes a little bubble over the cut which is still effective but more easily pickable. In general I would use this product more often but the can is a little bulky to put in a handbag and if you use it often the nozzle gets a little gummed up which in less you remember religiously to clean the nozzle the one time that you need it is the one time that you are picking the gluey plaster off the hole.
Ok I'm going to confess I haven't actually ever bought this item, I spraed it on one night in Tesco to see how it worked. I sprayed it on a slight cut on my hand and regreted it as soon as I sprayed it.
The smell was absolutely awful, it smelt like those fabric plasters mixed with burning plastic. The smell did really make me gag and I don't usually mind anything like this as I love the smell of fabric plasters.
It is quite discreet though as it is see through and meant to be quite flexible, but to me it felt like I had super glue stuck on my hand and looked like it as well.
So wandering round the store with my partner giggling at me for being so "daft" as he says I really struggled to get this off my hand. It left a red rash like mark all the way round it as well. I thought once I got home itd be ok as I could just scrub it off and it would be ok. The 40mile drive back home was bad the smell was unbelievable and I ended up having to have my window slightly open to get rid of the smell.
Once home I went straight to the bathroom and put soap and hot water on and started to scrub....10mins later I was still scrubbing, it wouldn't come off at all. So I then tried this stuff that takes oil and other stains of your hands (partner has it for when he's been working on the car!) Still no luck!! 3 days later it finally started to come off after I rubbed it and scratched it at every opportunity, by this point the cut under the plaster was a lot worse than when I put the spray plaster on.
The good thing about this is it really does keep the water out of your cut which is a good thing if you dont suffer from a rash like I did from it (and you can handle the smell!)
I did manage to notice the price, it was for sale in Tesco for £5.69 for a 32ml bottle. It is quite expensive for the spray but it does state that it'll do up to 50 applications. It does also say that is skin friendly which is suitable for all skin types, but it certainly didn't agree with my skin.
Overall I definately wouldn't buy it. It smells awful, it feels strange and takes days to disappear. It's also very expensive for what it is I would rather buy plasters and put up with them rather than put up with the spray plaster.
I bought this because I was getting annoyed at plasters that always come off and I wanted something that would cover and protect the cuts on my hands whilst I was working. It cost around £5 for a little 32.5ml spray can.
The can is silver with a blue plastic lid that pulls off. The plaster is basically a liquid that you spray onto any cuts or grazes and it's supposed to seal out dirt and water. You just spray it on and leave it to dry for a minute, and it forms a light film over the skin.
You can see it on the skin where you've sprayed it, it looks a little shiny, but it's not really obvious, and you can't find an edge to it so it's not like it wwould peel off. It feels ok on the skin, you can just sometimes feel that it's pulling the skin slightly tight if you move whatever body part you've put it on. Other than that you can barely tell it's there.
It smells pretty strong and chemically when you first spray it, but once it's dried I can't notice the smell. It doesn't sting the cut when you spray it on either as I was expecting it would.
I think this does a really good job of keeping everything out of the cut, I've never had any instances of using it and finding it hasn't been effective or it's come off or worn away, it always does it's job. It says on the can that it stays on for 2 days and is waterproof, but I didn't find this to be true. It does come off with water, and it wears away after about 12 hours.
It's a brilliant replacement for regular plasters which are such a pain when they don't stick properly or they keep on coming off, this does away with all that hassle altogether. It also lasts ages as you don't need to use a lot each time.
Plasters are a must have in any house and with two little girls who are quite prone to tripping over and gaining the odd cut they are an absolute necessity for us. However, although I have nothing against them in principle, with the normal type of sticky plaster which we are all used to, there comes a number of problems.
Firstly, sometimes they do not stay on long enough. It's really annoying when a plaster starts to come away from the cut and flaps all over the place, especially if you are out somewhere and can't immediately replace it. It's irritating and it's also no longer protecting the wound. Also, it doesn't take long for a plaster on a child's finger or knee to start becoming very dirty and you get the feeling that it's not really very hygenic at all. Thirdly, if a plaster does keep it's stickiness and stays on, you then have the problem of getting it off! Both my daughters have a strong aversion to me trying to do this, and it often ends in tears if not tantrums! We all know that the removal of a well stuck on plaster can be incredibly painful, and it seems even more so if you are a small child!
Because of the above reasons, I was very interested when my husband came home one day with an elastoplast spray plaster. We hadn't heard of this before, but he had just happened to see it on a shelf and thought it might be very useful to have - and he was right!
You can use the spray plaster in most cases where you would use a normal plaster previously. You simply spray it on to the cut or graze and within seconds it seals itself over the wound and foms a very flexible breathable film which is transparent so you do not see any unsightly plaster.
It comes in a small cannister, and once you have cleaned the wound, you hold this about 6 - 10 cm away and spray. It is not an unpleasant sensation at all and is not cold but it does smell very strongly and reminds you of a very strong glue. This smell disappears within seconds though so it's really not a problem. You have to be a littlecareful until it dries but this is less than a minute before you can get on with whatever you want to be doing. I did actually cut my foot on some broken glass very soon after we got this and I was amazed at how well it worked. Once the plaster has dried you cannot feel it at all, although you can see a very slight film on your skin.
I think the Elastoplast Spray plaster has a number of advantages. Firstly , it's great for if you get a cut in one of those awkward places, like in between your fingers or toes or on the elbow. It does stay on very well. It seems much more hygenic and you don't have to worry about it getting dirty. You can just wash yourself as usual including the place where the plaster is. It looks so much nicer than sticking plasters which never look great at the best of times, but look dreadful after a day or two. You just don't notice the spray on one at all. Also, you don't have any of the problems with getting it off - it simply disappears within a couple of days.
I really am pleased we discovered this product and we have used it a lot. However, I would not be without a conventional packet of plasters in the house as well, as the spray is not suitable for deep cuts, nor will it soften the discomfort of a really painful blister. It's also quite expensive as it's selling in Sainsburys at the moment at £6.19 per can which is 32.5ml. It's difficult to say how this will work out in the long run compared to traditional plasters but as it's a good product I don't mind spending a little bit more. We've had ours quite a few months now and it's had numerous uses and doesn't show any signs of running out yet.
Overall I would definitely recommend this product especially if you have young children who hate having plasters removed! If you want to find out more you can visit the elastoplast website at
