A bit of an exaggeration there in that article. There is a significant
anti-marijuana school of thought growing in recent years here,
noticeably being encouraged by the government I might add, even if it
means distorting the facts. If anything, things are going backwards in
terms of decriminalisation and there is no real hope for medical
marijuana to even be a consideration here in the foreseeable future.
On the upside, this means it's still a highly lucrative crop...
