A Link You Say ?

Thanks for the link.

It's not really "Ireland will be legalising medical cannabis" but it does show that there's a little bit more wiggle room being made so I can see whoopdedoo's point.

It is definitely a step in the right direction and something actually happening. Lets hope that snowball keeps on rolling down the hill.

Bit of a joke that we're the only OECD country to have a blanket ban on cannabis based drugs, even the THC spray. By comparison heroin is a perfectly legal ingredient in some medicines.

America could switch to outdoor growing fairly quickly. As far as I know the established brands of weed are all grown outdoors in CA.

This is a problem that would go away if cannabis prohibition was lifted. It will only get worse as long as prohibition continues.

costs 5 billion to grow and the small legal medicinal market is worth 8.9 billion.

thats a pretty hefty profit margin, and the 5 billion energy costs go back into the economy via the electicity company.

not much of an argument against legalization.

simple put the 5 billion is for lights exhaust systems and things used to keep what your doing hidden, of course legalising it would allow you to grow it outdoors without fear of being caught, hence no cost

It's not really once you consider that's just the energy costs. Although put the growing into the hands of real business and they'd reduce those costs dramatically.

Good point, that money is going to legitimate business not criminals.
