This made me smile! I LOVE sauerkraut, and even make my own, from red cabbage (though it's so sour I can only eat a small amount at a time). And I used to smoke pot as a student - it made me feel so rebellious (lol). But it also made me feel lethargic and I wanted to get on the career ladder (what a fool I was...) so I decided to stop.
You have to have a licence to grow hemp seeds in the UK. Presumably that's all part of controlling illegal drugs. Hemp seeds were illegal in Australia until recently.
If I was going to smoke weed, I'd probably grow my own, so that I'd have the certainty that it was pure. When I was travelling in Asia I met a heroin dealer who said that's how he got people into heroin - by adding it to a joint. Nice man. I suppose that's another good reason to deregulate it - if you buy it from an established retailer it's pretty unlikely to have other drugs added to it (although now I'm starting to think about how Coke got its name...)
