I won't even go into the subject of how most "gardens"-at least in my neck of the woods-have nothing to do with medicine or with being small. I also find it a curious statement, given California is skirting federal law. I guess Ngaio and his buds (pun intended) are lucky the feds don't say, "States shouldn't be able to ignore federal law regardless of what the citizens of those states want." That argument can cut both ways, my friend. Enjoy your weed! Jack Hamlin via email - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
