Valid point,perhaps,about growing, but WHAT negative side effects? There are no hangovers. After 25 or 30 years,I'm not really aware of ANY side effects, unlike many prescription drugs.Farmers,esp. tobacco farmers could use alternative crops.But even if everyone grew their own, at least the drug pushers wouldn't have that $$ to work with. Maybe a 'permit' to grow x amount? They still bust moonshiners here in the hills for non-tax-paid. Anyway, the present system sux. I'm not advocating the use,of course, but booze took me closer to destruction than reefer ever did.By Gods' good grace, I outgrew that problem.

Negative side effects of smoking. You can not say that smoking anything, is good for your health. The only way to completely minimize the negative effects is to injest THC directly skipping the smoking completely.
