I really think Americans are getting the point and the picture.

I do not however, believe many of our congressmen in Washington are from this planet though.

yeah decriminilized is a good thing.... Gotta watch legalizing it though. That taxing it is all they will do. And you will need to get a license to grow or like brewing hard liquor you'd be in the same boat as now. They would prosecute you just as bad. No more cheap homegrown MJ, only commercialized shwag.

i resent the fact that medical users have to pay, even though the scheme does not exist here.

i also worry about taxes on mj, basically swapping one bunch of criminals for another.

but i would pay for a license; on the proviso that i do not have to prove my 'desire' for mj on medical grounds. [Healthy people like a choof too, at the end of the day, we are all inevitably classed as dying from birth; in need of relief.]

maybe a 'govt weed' dispensed to those who want it; a license for backyard growers who desire something different?

best wishes nigel

Well if the government does take an interest into growing good weed maybe they can get some top scientist to make a plant that produces like 75% THC on its bud lol. That would be insane

ILLEGAL-SEED

i think if about 20 of us here at gardens cure got together, we could outgrow any scientist.

i for one would never buy it from a store/govt or anything ever again. havent baught pot once in over 2 years. its going to stay that way.

legalize it or not... as long as their are seedbanks, im happy

you can brew whatever beer you want... or make a wine or champagne...
but once you start distilling it into a liquor it's illegal i think
probably cuz of the danger of exploding stills
