I’ve never touched a drug that wasn’t alcohol in my life but it’s so silly to read ‘she was very remorseful’ about someone that was growing a plant. It’s ridiculous.
Alcohol & nicotine are far more serious drugs. It’s silly.
Waste of time, waste of money.
Yes…… The War on drugs has been won!!!….again!!!!
Fairly sure botanists were in their element during 2020-2022
Haven’t smoked myself in 20+ year, and when I did, it was only ever resin we could get our hands on, so can someone ELI5 the “potential value” thing to me.
So a plant has X amount of leaves.
Is one leaf enough to make a joint, etc……..
The whole cannabis situation here is a national embarrassment. It must be hard to keep a straight face at these hearings.
Even in puritanical America they’re far down the road to legalising it in many places. Why we still leave this industry to drug dealers is beyond me.
I’m conflicted on it. Weed should be legal, no one should go to prison for possession, or cultivation. We inherited our hatred for it from America and we should not continue prosecution of it.
But if this was Anto in his Ma’s gaff growing 7 plants for his own use this would be a by the book prosecution and he’d be facing at least a few years in the Joy.
So we should apply the morality that we DO have, if flawed, and imprison this woman for a number of years. 🙂
Fair play, most people only got around to baking a bit of bannna bread.
Beats Sourdough.
How is prison any place for a middle aged woman with no convictions for an action that caused no harm to anybody. Prison is for those who damage and cause harm to our society.
We have scumbags with 100s of convictions out on the street destroying society, this is who prison is for.
Instead of locking up our citizens for plant crimes we could actually take away a mass chunk of income from criminal gangs by legalising. For harder drugs, it would also be ideal if we could reach a stage where the government supplies and carefully monitors use at cost or for free, cutting out all income for the cartels, reducing overdose rates, improving the ability of the state to actually help addicts recover by making them get their drugs from someone who doesn’t actually have an interest in them continuing to use, and reducing violence and petty crime overtime.
