Why do you ask

It kinda frustrates me that there's a whole industry that could be based around this plant and it's not being developed because of the prohibition laws which some say have dubious origins.

Really what sort of uses does it have? I know about the hemp thing but are you referring more to medicinal and other uses?

Medicinal/pharmaceutical
Hemp, rope, textiles, clothes etc.
Oil and fermentation of biomass, possible alternative to fossil fuels.
Seeds, in some cultures are ground to make flour.

Oh, and I forgot the obvious

I hate drugs and what they do to people

But Kiz, industrial grade cannabis, certain strains of the plant, have no pharmaceutical or recreational value. The fibre is as useful as cotton and I'm pretty sure it takes less resources to produce/kilo. Less irrigation is my biggest point.

At this point I'd like to add that I have smoked bucket loads in my time but I don't smoke these days and I generally don't advocate the recreational use of cannabis.

Yeah, surrrrrrrrrrrre

It's like women. I like it a lot but it tends to be bad for me.

I dont care if someone wants to make khaki trousers or rope out of it This isnt the issue ???Is it?
I smoked plenty but it was grown up the yard and watered with h2o & maybe a bit of fish emulsion.not cerapax & cianide ffs
Mind altering shit its more potent that the black dots were in the 80s FFS

women aren't bad for you .. and they're legal, well most of em.

Maybe you just got involved with hydroponic women

both your posts are spot on Kizzy. the worst thing to happen is hydroponics which too many people use heavy chemicals & poisons to assist in the growth for sale results. Also because of the fertiliser nutrients used in hydroponics are dangerous to humans they are absorbed into the plant itself which causes it to become the plant it is today.

Recently it was reported that current Cannabis is responsible for up to 60% of the increase of the worse end of the scale mental illnesses .

The only legal cannabis which is grown for the use of rope, etc is in Tasmania & is strictly monitered.

We have enough trouble with the legal drugs already. Why make matters worse.

But it is part of the issue. Sure they could even engineer it so there's even less THC in it. Actually a lot of plants (I think) do contain THC and aren't illegal because the concentration is so low. Also many plants contain nicotine but again, smaller concentrations than tobacco. And as for the health issues, what about alcohol?

Good thread Damian this topic will be just as contentious as the mental health one

Go for it
industrial use is not an issue with me at all Im all for anything that creates a lesser carbon imprint on outr planet .As far as alcohol 7 othe addictive substances it is only a matter of time before these comodities will be monotored more closely
I believ they will be taxed outta existance over time especially ciggarettes .
I mean fuck me $20,00 a day to spark up & poyt has always been inline with the price of gold , gold sghares are trading @ova a grand an ounce these days or close to it . Im glad I dont smoke anything & that my slate bourbon intake is in moderation...

gotta love a good debate
