Hailing from the UK - London. I was just thinking - and if in the near future - the govt granted licenses for users to grow their own herb, would you do it?

I'm not naive enough to think that details wouldnt be kept and grows wouldnt be monitored (proving personal consumption) - ofcourse they would, but say the procedure was similiar to something like this:

You apply to the home office for a form - they send it out.

You take the form to a Dr (GP) where he makes you do a urine or blood sample so you can prove your usage (dependency).

Form filled out - The Dr (GP) then signs and stamps it. And sends it off to the home office or whomever will make the decision to grant a licence.

Once decision is granted in favour of applicant - licence is granted and applicant can grow, say, 4 plant in a home setting with adequate ventilation, and odour control management as well as health and safety quotas and guidelines adhered to.

Official checks made by Home Office personnel to your residency once every 3 months to prove you are adhering to the rules and not growing excessively cheeky amounts?

Question is would you do it?

I want that job checking up on the plants wouldnt need to grow shit then

It would be nice but its not gonna happen in my lifetime

would be nice but like kermit said aint gonna happen in our lifetime.

I think the Tories might consider it for personal/medical use, Cameron seems to want to do anything to get enough votes to win an election, only problem would be the number of plants, I could quite happily keep 4 mothers just for starters.

cameron is a "yes" man, true! But with people like Boris as Mayor of London (he must be a toker, come on guys), you gotta beleive it's at least possible - in our lifetimes!

All politicians are yes men until they are in power and Boris has got to be a stoner.

ok... thats a given - but if it did - the question is - "To Grow or Not To Grow?" that is the question... ahem. Answers on a postcard? lol

and correct answers on a 50 pound note to this address as well

I'd probably give it a bash, would save lots of cash!

Oh yea! that way i wouldnt have to pound the streets & spend my money,I wish it was like holland here! ie you can grown 5 plants for your own personal,That would do my like ,I would just have them on constant rotation so i wouldnt go without.

Way dude... they've already started to introduce marijuana based medicines (sativex) in some parts of the world. I think even here in the UK if I'm correct - yes it is only available on prescription for MS patients etc - but if the govt can recognize that cannabis is not the "evil weed which will plunge society into degeration" and prove it by taking small but steady steps (like making sativex available on prescription) I can feel confident that the gates are open, if only partially on latch (metaphor)

I would have no problem swapping my tomatoes over for herb if it was legal to do so.

id love to smoke a bowl with Boris


I think the spanish have started working towards licences for growers??

I would not vote for the Tories even if there pledged legalisation. Like Kermit says dont trust politicens.
