      Monopolizing weed is virtually impossible, and therefore it will never be legalized, which silly. That said, fuck the law.

      Well it wouldn’t have to use up all that energy if i was legal and people could grow/ produce their own, as compared to things like Beer and Tobacco which are leading contributers to the top causes of deaths in America.

      If it weren’t forced indoors by retarded and racist legislation, pot could (is it currently is) be grown quite effectively outdoors. Don’t blame the growers, blame the reason they grow inside.
