Damianowen: They say it's the most useful plant on the planet but it's illegal to grow it in most Western countries. What's your oppinion?

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.

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.

We have enough trouble with the legal drugs already. Why make matters worse.
------ This poll is Archived ------
Damianowen: 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?

I was just reading that as far as ethanol production is concerned, hemp provides roughly double the yield of corn per hectare and cost about half as much to produce (weight/weight).
I'd really like to see a lot of the cotton crop in this country replaced by something, possibly hemp because of the smaller requirement for water. It's cotton and rice irrigation that has the Murray/Darling river system in the sad sorry state that it is in and, well gee, if I was Peter Garret I'd be looking into it.

Yeah well, I'm a bit of an environmentalist myself and I think it's a crime that the Murray/Darling hardly flows to the sea any more.

That's probably not going to be a huge problem once the potheads realise that they're better off smoking lawn clippings. Also, if you planted cloned male seedlings or somehow engineered a parent plant that only produced male offspring, the THC content in any strain is nearly immeasurable.

I've driven through those fields and there isn't any apparent security and I don't even remember there being big fences but I've heard that if you stop your car cops come from everywhere. Don't know how it works but no one stops !
