I wish I could grow it legally. Years back a friend grew a few plants for somebody else (I really don't recall if I ever knew the arrangement) and what struck me was that, while these weren't "skunk" they were fairly decent marijuana plants grown in plant pots on the floor of a small south-facing room and they shot up. We thought they ought to be more potent because the air was often thick with smoke but I doubt that was the case.
My point being, though, that if it were legal to grow and use I'd guess a few of us might grow some unremarkable plants in order to smoke some unremarkable grass sometimes (thing home brewing) and a few people may smoke a bit more. I fail to understand why governments insist that allowing the growing of a plant and the smoking of its leaves will somehow turn everybody into crackheads.
I know "the great binge" and the like could be cited but, surely, the possibility of employment, healthcare and non-poverty are such that, nowadays, most of the people who would just become "drug users" and nothing else have done so already?
Oops, ranting again. If only I could roll a joint to calm me down...

You have to take what you can get these days with all of the morons in state legislatures stuck in the past, althought it was just one moron-the asshat known as Matt Baker holding this up for 10 months. I hope he gets beat in his next election for being an ignorant short-sighted douchebag.
Good points with pri$on\right$\$lavery, three (kiddie) strikes and we own you for life!

I think they would still make enough money with us growing it. (The average) ours goes around $100 per THC% an ounce, theirs can hit $400 plus alternatives in profusion.
The way I see it is we are all dictators and followers (+\- and at certain points in life) just a larger percent of the planet are dense maybe blockheaded!? I'm gonna smoke to that!

Reason: added to title
But it is a crutch, but antidepressants are fine, even though they can cause a paradoxical effect, higher instances of suicides (young adults), etc...
But I can still get legally drunk, and kill my brain cells and liver, or get cancer from a cigarette , why is this still illegal though?
Thinking is a drug but not is worse (yum pun Kochwurst.) I would have been better off if I had not smoked until the age 25 and like I did with Salvia divinorum study up on the sh!# first.
If a law is not common sense, what is it good for?
