    It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.

    I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.

      I had a similar experience with my poppy field ringed with gympie gympie.

      I’m all for legalisation, and I’m a regular user, but the fact that it’s a plant has always struck me as a weak argument. We can do better.

      It’s one tier better than “It’s natural!” (So are asbestos, arsenic, and anthrax.)
