Cannabis in its leaf form is not processed (other than naturally dried)

Well not as you'd notice Margaret, only when you see rooms and even warehouses set up as specialist growing rooms with heat lamps to assist with the growing process not to mention irrigation systems too

They are only grown in artificial conditions because growing is illegal without a licence.
A variety of hemp plants are cultivated under licence in this country, in open fields without need of extra heat and sunlight

PS the source of legal seeds for home growing was bird seed
.............watch out for aggressive budgies

The seeds are not illegal as they do not contain THC.

Excuse me for being thick Neil, but whats THC

[emamum]

Production of THC in cannabis

THC (tetra-hydro-cannibol) is one of over 400 cannibols present in the cannabis plant and is responsible for the 'high' associated with smoking cannabis.

It is present in all cannabis plants, male and female but in varying quantities. Canabis with a low THC content will have a weak effect. The other cannibols present will be responsible for a heavy, sleepy stoned effect.

I saw the story in the papaer today but i didnt read it all.... the policemen said they could smell the canabis.... how many people would recognise the smell of it? there are other plants that smell a little canabis like as well..

You could leave a cannabis plant in the open and smoke it once complete and dried with no further processing, like a apple.

Pharmacutical companies (the evil in our midst) will not let it happen because they are busy synthasising and patenting the chemicals in it, for sale at inflated prices to our cash strapped NHS, for pain relief for arthritis

Exactly and it would be hard to tax.

Im looking for changed laws, relating to possession & personal use cultivation.

The many people who say its bad dont really know anything about it.

I feel sorry for anybody who feels the need to take any substance just for kicks, its bad enough having to take prescribed drugs let alone illegals for fun

Many people need cannabis for pain relief and are being denied it.
Pain management is a notorously neglected part of our NHS.
When distalgestics were withdrawn from the prescription list, many people were offered nothing stronger than paracetemol.

It should be allowed for medicinal use - if it also makes a sick person happy at the same time why begrudge them that

Perscribed drugs I bet will be worse for you, the medical possabilities for cannabis are just being seen.

You obviously haven't had any serious health problems to make a statement like that
