A report by the BBC on the elaboration of pharmaceutical products based on the cannabis plants grown legally by GW Pharmaceuticals somewhere in the south of England, the same country where patients growing for their own consumption are being prosecuted.

This supports my view that the truth is if those in power thought they could get away with it, marijuana production would only be legal for pharmaceutical companies with a liscence. And would remain illegal for the average patient consumer to produce their own medicine. If business interests can't generate cash flow in a traditional market construct, it should be illegal. If you're permitted to bring your own food to most amusement parks, they can't make their profit margins off overcharging you with the garbage paying vendors sell at the stands in the controled confines of the park. Too often whatever the market will bear becomes abused into whatever we can get away with.
