Grow pot and give weed away.

Regulations restricting a weed is the same as saying it is illegal to plant alder or dandelion. The cost to consumer for pot is about the same as gold. Gold is infinitely recyclable and takes millions of years of evolution to create. Pot grows on a windowsill and has one use after about six weeks. Hemp ( pot ) used to full potential is a very versatile product with countless uses. Big business and government regulations have stigmatized hemp production and use to the point that even people who use it daily are scared to admit to family and friends. So given the government's responsibility in supply of products to consumers we know, if pot was legalized this business would provide a substandard product costing more than ever.

Legalize it, if everyone planted hemp and tobacco for ornamental, medicinal use, personal use and product development then it would be acceptable and the government could be taken out of the picture and cost to each person, each community and society in general would be insignificant.

So grow a plant and give it away.
