    Two wrongs don't make a right? But two rights bring you back.

    probably has something to do with the government having legislation banning one and legislation licensing the other for sale.

    Because they can't make money of weed, they can off alcohol. If they made weed legal you could just grow your own. You can't grow your own beer last time I checked!

    True words, I've only started using boards frequently in the last few weeks and i've come across this topic plenty.

    I guess at the end of the day it's the law and no amount of moaning about it on boards is gonna change that. But theres so many laws out there that dont make sense. This is but one of them....

    If Irish famers were growing marijuana 100 years ago it would be legal here.

    That's only slightly true depending on the person. The vast majority of users won't go mad no matter how much they smoke.
