As things stand it is a criminal offence to plant a cannabis seed in
your garden. This situation has arisen as a result of long-term lobbying
by the drug companies. They now aim to channel the medicinal cannabis
market towards the commercial product Sativex, and to make a handsome
profit from it.

If this venture succeeds, it will only be a matter of time before the
pharmaceutical industry uses it's lobby to seek to prohibit the growing
of other medicinal herbs, and, if they can, the sale of seed.

It might be a good idea to lay some in now.

Well I'm disappointed so far that all this group could muster was a
heckler. I suppose you're still out in the garden on this fine Spring day.
In my garden the last chap laid some concrete path to cover up his
building rubble, as they did in those days. So I am lifting the path and
the rubble and wheel-barrowing it all out to the front ready for what I
don't know. But nowadays I cannot do this all day so have come back here
to see what has been said. And this is what I find. Is this
representative I wonder?
I'll come back tonight to receive possible further abuse.
