If I was dying, I don’t think I would worry about the legality of any drug if it made me feel better.

We are all dying Trog. How fast is the question. Many drugs legal or recreational make us feel good while they kill you. The every helpful Mrs NavyD keeps giving me research papers on how beer wine and ... are all carcinogenic[bighmmm]

Smoking pot is not likely to be great for us either Pinched a bit from the poms "Like tobacco smoke, cannabis smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals, but it's not clear whether this raises your risk of cancer. If you mix cannabis with tobacco to smoke it, you risk getting tobacco-related lung diseases, such as lung cancer (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lung-cancer/) and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease-copd/). "

Not that I mind if people smoke it at all. I don't.

Risk taking makes people feel hyper alive. Unfortunately, like all drugs the effect reduces with every hit and only the addiction remains.

You don’t need to smoke. You can take pills or have it in food.

I'd have a little on line site, plus a mobile van, selling this product!

Sign writing on van would be "Mister Munchies" perhaps, with some Tangerine Dream looping through external speakers.

I heard shares in fast food places near known future retailers gained a bit in the lead up to October. Bet a lot of people are a bit annoyed at not getting into the shares earlier.
