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...

Still, much more prefer to see kind herb over meth. I live in the upper midwest of the US. potheads are much better folk than meth heads; per capita. Meth is psycho. Never heard of a pothead on a killin' spree.
