I totally agree. I'm all for removing government from individual decision making. Maybe if the government allowed idiots to make bad decisions, there would be a lot less of them walking around. I think pot being illegal and cigarettes not is a borderline double standard. Where we are different is you think they should both be legal and I think neither should be. Based on what I have heard, if you put one guy in a house with only pot and one with only McDonald's, the guy with the pot would probably steal the McDonald's from the other dude. Also, the guns comment was kind of a joke.

The reasons it is illegal ...William Randolph Hearst who was a huge newspaper magnate and also owned huge amounts of timber. and dupont who came up with a fabric called nylon in the 30's ...both considered hemp to be huge competition and started what would be called today yellow journalism which the american people bought hook ,line and sinker. also , when the first settlers came here there were laws that you had to grow hemp and for the record ,i don't smoke...
Hemp is still the best natural-fiber rope for knots and lashings, but it's practically impossible to find and we have to use manilla or sisal.
Florida's Hydroponic Pot: House-Grown and Super-Potent - Yahoo! News Legalize it already, lets free up the space in prison systems for real criminals, and help this country's economy out.
Old news, hydroponic was the way to go when I lived there in the late 80's. However don't underestimate California's indoor hydroponic crop. You would be surprised what you can do with some quality seeds, MH/HPS lighting and some PVC. The article gave far too much credit to lighting and fertilizer and far too little credit to not allowing the female plants to be pollinated and better genetic strains through cross breeding.
