What do you mean?

Still need to talk to my pa about that munchie-mobile....

What do you mean?

Already studies by the RAND Corp. have found a high percentage of criminals who are also regular marijuana users. Rand found that about 60% of people arrested for various crimes tested positive for marijuana use in the United States, England, and Australia. Moreover, it says marijuana metabolites were found in the urine of those arrested more frequently than those of any other drug

All of those are merely statistics that imply something that isn't necessarily true. The same stat could also be applied to water, but no one would immediately jump to conclusions that it was the cause of the crimes or criminal behaviour. That's because it's a coincidence that they have the drug in their system when they commit the crime, not the cause

Ah... I see.

I'd bet they'd find the same statistics of those who drinks coffee and then commits a crime. COFFEE IS BAD!

I would wonder what's the proportion of criminals drinking tea.

They won't tax it efficently though, it's too easy to grow.

getting consistently good harvests isn't as easy as a lot of folks think

yes it is a weed, but it sure as hell doesn't grow it's self, and there are a lot of things that can go wrong and do, you need to know how to fix those things or you will hate life

I'm loving this part, yes it does grow itself. Though it definately won't be as good of a plant as if you grew it with proper care and utilities. The reason most people fail their first attempts at greenhousing is that there is a lot of stuff that you have to recreate that simply happens in the wild, but if you were to just plant a bunch of seeds in your back yard they would grow. They wouldn't be worth smoking but they would grow.

Well, apart from international crimes. The best kind, in other words!

Finally. I'm no pothead, but having this stuff outlawed was a stupid way to earn earn money and get back at the hippies by the DTA.

So unless you live in or near a desert it still falls within acceptable climate. The stuff comes from Mongolia, not exactly the rainiest place on earth.

And if you had read my post I said that it wouldn't be worth smoking, but it would grow.
