Why do the uninformed insist on commenting on cannabis? Emma is spot on.

Yeas  as I pointed out previously, thanks AiA. But again, by no means all smokers.
Of course it would be better  to have a good regular supply of medicinal cannabis which could be utilised through other methods of ingestion, and things are definitely afoot in that direction, which can only be good news..

Don't waste your time with Ian, he's been following me around being obnoxious, lately. I shall simply ignore him.. 'cos he's a waste of time and space.

Never, ever trust anyone or anything that comes from a state that has a panhandle.

Well, I think the Kinkster would be mortified to hear your low opinion of Texans, as would Janis Joplin. And how about the Lone Ranger, what about him, Miss Smarty Pants?

According to this latest study that answer seems to be no as far as lung damage is concerned. All of you know it alls probably still think everyone smokes joints or bongs, most people I know eat pot or use a vaporiser nowadays anyway.

Having said that, I think hemp is illegal predominantly because it would have stopped the cotton industry in its tracks...

Nothing to do with public health and/or safety, that's just the convenient (who says propaganda doesn't work) spin to give weight to outlawing the plant.

Arguably, one of the most (if not the most) versatile plants on the planet as far as usefulness to us goes at any rate.

You can make rope with it (not just any rope, very good quality rope).

Paper, a wide range of materials (textile), soap, health supplements, skin products, cleaning products, oils, excellent for mulching, fast growing so very market friendly then, as has been pointed out a remarkable range of medicinal purposes/uses that are effective.

And apparently for more than a few people, it provides a humorous high - how extraordinarily evil of it...

So, those who want control of the "free market" would rather it remain illegal, it is far to hard to monopolise - far to easy to access... 

Public Health, pfft, it's all about the money being made.

You can make great products out of all sorts of things.
Lets not delude ourselves with the pro dope propaganda
It may have some medicinal qualities, but to get the best benefit from them they need to be dose controlled and pure
Not some hippie rubbish.
You can make rope and textiles, but you can do that with the non THC strains.
You may be able to make paper but I doubt it will be any better, cheaper or more environmentally friendly than growing trees.

And what sort of a Drongo thinks you can whoof cannabis smoke with its tars and other poisons into your lungs and not do yourself any harm.

Seriously the lady doth protest too much methinks.

Yes, which is why we have these 'media managers ' popping up, decrying a perfectly reasonable push to remove criminality from the use of cannabis.

Lots of MONEY at stake. The legal drug pushers , with their addictive products, don't want the competition.
