In Australia you can have two plants for your own use, no government involvement, it works fine, evidently. Of course, Australian still clings to the quaint notion that government exists for the people, not the other way around. Some very powerful forces are against the idea of a recreational drug you can provide for yourself independently. They don't want it to cut into their profits.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I'm curious as to where your information came from. I've been trying to find someplace that corroborates your statement and can't seem to find any. Could you point me to your source? TIA
"Holy crap!! Did she EAT Bob??"
Not everything on the Interweb is truth. Only a gullible fool would believe otherwise.
I am neither Left wing nor Right wing. I am gro-wing.
I found this link, and laughed like hell when I scrolled down and found that the only country where it is legal to possess, sell, transport and cultivate weed is North Korea.
RotterdamResident, my source was some Australian people. While in many parts of that country marijuana is not legalized but decriminalized, a ticketable offense, they tell me that in actual practice police do not bother with small amounts at all. Also the laws are very poorly defined and they think that may be deliberate to give law enforcement leeway to deal with people possessing or growing pot for distribution. I'm wondering in the difficulty in finding concrete information has anything to do with our own DEA not wanting Americans to know of places where personal use of marijuana is condoned. There are areas of Australia that are still quite restrictive, some of the areas with large aboriginal populations, I'm told. Alcohol is banned in some of those places.
The funny thing about marijuana laws is that they differ from other drug laws in that they were put in place to control problems that only existed in the imagination of the prohibitionists.

Thanks. That's really quite similar to the Netherlands. I have a friend in California with a Medical card. He's allowed 24 plants. Really, the laws in most of the states that allow medicinal weed seem to be IMHO more liberal than Austrailia's. Just my impression after a cursory read. That being said, the real problem here lies with the Feds.
Me, I'm thinking of moving to N. Korea where it's all legal. (TIC)

The word Medical in front of marijuana changes things. Many people are against getting high just for fun.
