I like to search and replace 'cannabis' with 'cake'. It has been a while since I have baked a cake but there is only an absence of a cake tin to stop me doing that now.
Cake has sugar in it and I am addicted to sugar. I can talk about sugar with my doctor, he can ask me how many cakes I am scoffing and answer almost honestly.
Unlike most food there is VAT on cake. If I make my own cake I deprive the tax man but I did pay tax on the cake tin, the electricity and the chocolate.
I could make cake and sell it to my workmates, putting that vending machine out of business, partially since I am not yet frying 'crisps'.
Imaginably HR could be onto me after a while, the stern email would arrive and a multitude of issues relating to the validity of my 'food hygiene certificate' could come to the fore. But I would still be fine bringing in cake for a workmate's birthday.
Really cannabis needs to be something you can do at home without anyone coming for you. If you want to spend months growing plants then you are probably going to learn more about horticulture and get significant benefits from just doing that, growing plants. Much like making a cake, there is enjoyment in the baking that is separate to the eating.
This might be fun to do as a student but, in a world where one can't be bothered to bake a cake, I imagine people will move on with their lives and not have a mini cannabis plantation at home.
It used to be the same with beer, you could brew your own at home with much fun to be had perfecting your brew. There is nothing to stop you doing that now, however, the kit is not generally sold on the High Street like it used to be - people stopped bothering, they just buy booze rather than brew.
If you are growing your own weed and medicating for pain or childhood trauma, you should be able to tell your doctor, much like how you can discuss alcohol or sugar consumption. In that way we can better understand these things.
Getting back to the article with search and replace on, the active ingredient for cakes and beer is yeast or a yeast substitute. I can't see how sales of yeast or sugar for home grown cake/beer making can affect the stock value of the big industrial food concerns or brewers.
