Cannabis operation a real labour of love
With photos of mature high-grade cannabis plants decorating the walls and the sounds of classical music playing softly in the background, a New Plymouth woman ensured the best of growing conditions to nurture her indoor plants. Ref. Source 8

Comments: There's a guy in Canada that has a two million dollar operation growing cannabis. He says its for medical purposes but he has some serious THC in it and guess what he bakes cookies, makes butter and other food products using marijuana. Imagine getting high using some butter spread on your toast.

You can apply to grow it for medical reasons, the more you grow the more the government will buy (all of it) the THC levels are for different causes, clearly someone with hepatitis C would be entitled to a stronger strand than someone with a lesser disorder.
Not all patients will agree to smoke THC, they have many capsules, butter, cookies, brownies, and various other ways to consume the active chemical without risking lung damage. There are patients who have been diagnosed with lung cancer and given THC as medication, do you think they would smoke it?
Lots of people enjoy growing cannabis, I have grown it myself before although I am no longer a consumer due to heart / anxiety problems and depersonalization disorder. It is something that you can grow attached to, you become proud of your plants and develop better techniques and invest in better equipment. I is such a joy to see the finished product standing tall and strong before you.
Personally I would see this as an easy way to make money doing something that I am passionate about even though I do not consume cannabis.

As a native-canadian citizen I can say that marijuana is both a medicine and a powerful tool for your mind. But I agree that too many people use it as a party drug which is a very bad thing indeed.
As for why it is illegal because anyone can grow it in their own back yard so they couldn't make profit or tax money from it. Also because it is another substance that would be abused and cause health problems / addictions like alcohol and cigarettes.
If used in a proper limited manor, marijuana can be a very good thing, as can all psychedelics. It only takes one use to widen your mind into full spectrum with drugs such as marijuana, and using it more than once a month will only cause 'magic loss'.

Comments: The use of marijuana for me is just an excuse. There are so many substitutes out there and it can be as simple as just staying healthy by eating right and exercising.
