I strongly feel that it should be legalized across the board, no questions asked.lindahttp://rebelpigs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-78248863053876403272010-04-13T00:20:02.255-06:002010-04-13T00:20:02.255-06:00Marijuana is still illegal here, BUT, the penaltie...Marijuana is still illegal here, BUT, the penalties are far lighter and I would say that the emphasis on eradication of marijuana is even lighter yet.<br /><br />A few years back the police chief in Vancouver went so far as to announce that Vancouver police would no longer be wasting time on mere possession arrests.<br /><br />So I should have said when the atmosphere changes, not when the drug laws change.<br /><br />Also, I want to point out that as much as I support medicinal use, I am uncomfortable with saying that someone can ONLY make use of the plant for medicinal reasons. I think this is merely protection for big pharma and it just doesn't make sense.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354640729644229842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-17890339167461048722010-04-12T11:56:21.259-06:002010-04-12T11:56:21.259-06:00Are you saying the drug laws in Canada are lax or ...Are you saying the drug laws in Canada are lax or are they non existent (as pertaining to Marijuana that is)?lindahttp://rebelpigs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-62570260454968838232010-04-11T10:25:00.009-06:002010-04-11T10:25:00.009-06:00Aimee, thanks. I agree whole-heartedly.
Teresa, ...Aimee, thanks. I agree whole-heartedly.<br /><br />Teresa, that sounds more like industrial hemp. I'm pretty sure that the stuff grown for WW2 was industrial hemp, not marijuana. A whole field of industrial hemp doesn't have enough THC to get anything bigger than a mouse high. That would have been an impressive sight tho. I am very keen on hemp too, and have some ideas for it.<br /><br />Linda, that is the biggest reason that I could not live in the US. When the drug laws are fixed...maybe.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354640729644229842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-59159780629675859572010-04-07T12:32:27.552-06:002010-04-07T12:32:27.552-06:00Thanks for sharing this post and the Jello talk:) ...Thanks for sharing this post and the Jello talk:) I don't partake but I'd like to see marijuana legalized across the board, not just for medical usage. <br />I've known people whose life was destroyed by law enforcement over minute amounts (like a joint) and so have steered very clear myself.lindahttp://rebelpigs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-47801853655737143452010-04-06T17:06:08.864-06:002010-04-06T17:06:08.864-06:00When I moved to my acreage, I had tons of "Io...When I moved to my acreage, I had tons of "Iowa ditchweed" growing all over. It was pretty worthless for any type of high, but it grew really well. I'll never forget watching my dad on the good ole' Sears riding lawnmower. He was going a pretty good clip to knock down the eight-foot tall plants growing next to the barn. It stopped him dead. He didn't find it near as funny as I did, but it definitely illustrated the toughness of the fiber. By the way, it is my understanding that a lot of the ditchweed around here is from when marijuana was grown commercially during World War II for it's fibers.Teresahttp://www.edenhills.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-64025653433723985532010-04-05T23:24:33.954-06:002010-04-05T23:24:33.954-06:00Great post.

Our absurd vilification of this useful plant is really a shame.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.com
