After Marijuana Laws are Liberalized...

The D.C. Council voted unanimously this summer to allow medicinal marijuana in Washington. Voters in California will soon consider a ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana for all. But what happens after prohibitions are eased? We examine why one Dutch city with liberal laws is actually moving to curtail marijuana.

I just listened to your show about marijuana. One your guests, I believe Peter Reuter, commented that the backyards of DC are sufficient to supply all the medical marijuana needs and even beyond medical marijuana needs. That answer, aside from being wrong, shows an ignorance not befitting a guest on your show. Medical marijuana, and all of today's Cannabis connoisseurs, require careful mixtures of the Sativa and Inidica strains. They also require the herb to be free of mites, mildew, mold -- the herb must be pristine and very high in quality. DC's backyards, and DC's climate, are not suited to this. Next time you discuss this issue you should have a guest who knows what he's talking about.
