idk.....a place and time for everything. I think one should be allowed to grow it in one's garden if one so desires.
I like herbs...medicinal herbs. We have been supplied with every plant that we will ever need to cure illness and invoke the spirits if that is what one so desires

. The big boy pharmaceutical ***** only exist because you cannot patent mother nature. Hey, no $$$$$, if you ain't got a patent. THAT is why there are side effects...and more drugs to combat the side effects....
jb ~ BEAUTIFUL GARDEN!!!!!!
I am a big advocate of using medicinal herbs also. My favorites are stinging nettle, burdock, and dandalion. I make concoctions and tinctures to use for many ailments. Nothing has ever knocked a cold out of me as fast as a concoction made from local weeds that can be harvested all around the roads and fields. Easy access and very cheap.
Pharmaceuticals were mainly derived from plant materials before they started using synthetic replacements. A lot are still derived from plants.
I have thought about going to workshops put on by Susun Weed. Her herbal farm and retreat is not far from me in Woodstock,NY.
And, yes it is time to repeal some antiquated laws and get real about the use of a hemp plant that has many useful purposes.
