Or any of a thousand other names we use for marijuana, will do.
I was reading my copy of "The Herb Quarterly" (Winter, 2003) and came across an article on the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
Marijuana used for medical purposes has been met with resistance around the world. The Netherlands is probably the best known exception. However, some patients in Canada are now receiving small amounts of government grown marijuana.
What caught my eye was that the California State Supreme Court has ruled that patients with a doctor's note may use marijuana. However, federal law dictates that third parties may not supply people with the herb. Soooooo.....than means that Californians must grow their own marijuana.
I wonder if there are controls in place concering the potency of the plant? One of the stumbling blocks in Canada had to do with the potency of the crop that was being offered for medicial use. Can't you see people fine-tuning their farming techniques to develop the most potent strain of Cannabis ever created??
Every house in California will have it's own little herb garden. Marijuana plants will become a part of the landscaping! The Marijuana plant will become the State Plant!
Where else but in California???

Yeah, the same state that put Tommy Chong in jail for selling "Water Tabaco(?) Pipes" because they were classified as "drug paraphernalia", not pipes. The judge said straight out that his "image" as a doper for years was enough for the conviction.

...here in ingerland the legislation on marijuana has been decreased...it is now classed as 'c' drug and if caught with it all that can happen is the police confiscate it...this has led to 'herb-bars' similar to coffe shops opening up in towns where you can go and smoke to your heart's content...the driving force behind this has been the health benefits to m/s sufferers (who now die of lung cancer - but in less pain)...my feelings are that not all drugs are *evil* - I feel alcohol is worse than dope...so I feel that it is a 'grown-up' society that can accept certain drugs - move them away from the people who are selling crack/heroin and thus move the people buying the stuff into a safer situation :^)..
