Checked the plants that have grown from your bird seed recently?

The foliage is quite attractive !!

However, like tobacco, the smoking of cannabis is in the atmosphere of a house where babies and children inhale it. People will not be 'careful' because many cigarette smokers are not 'careful' about not smoking in the presence of their children.

And yes, I do know about 'skunk' and can see the argument for as well as those against and no, thinking about all the pros and cons and deciding that no, it is not a good idea to legalise the growing and sale of cannabis is not 'prejudiced'.

Can you see the Maybot doing it?
I don't think Corbyn (sorry - the Messiah ) has any plans to legalise it for recreational use either but would consider its licensing for medicinal use which seems sensible to me.

My sister in law use to grow it in her cottage garden, her mother visited her and walking in the garden asked , what's this one?, sister in law replied , day scented stock , it was all she could think of quickly !

You are showing your prejudice Jalima. Why, other than because it is your opinion, would this not work and save so many of the people who are currently costing the NHS and their own health with the sort of cannabis that is around at the moment?

Monty Don giving us tips on growing and drying - is soil the best medium or is it better grown hydroponically?

I think the idea is rather potty

I suppose he is no longer a pacifist because as he said about his friends Hamas - with hindsight I was wrong.

Better give some to Corbyn now he's no longer a pacifist...

Better than dropping bombs on Syria!

I can just see us all sitting there with our spliffs.....watching Gardeners World.

Nope!

Can you see the Maybot doing it?

Why shouldn't cannabis be legalised? Tobacco and alcohol are legal. It would actually help society to regulate cannabis, rather than turning a blind eye.

Now all you need is for Tim Farron to become PM.

I would have thought it might be quite attractive to some 60 - 70 year olds and certainly to some for medicinal reasons Ana. It would help to get the really strong stuff off the streets too.

And some of the older ones seem to be in favour

Ooh, I see the LibDems are planning to legalise cannabis in their manifesto! That should get a few of the 18-24s into the ballot box...

The leaked version of the Labour manifesto has confirmed Jeremy Corbyn's Labour won’t give the people the final say on the Brexit deal. This comes after Jeremy Corbyn made clear that Labour believes Britain must leave the EU whatever the agreement reached, in an interview with BBC Look North.

Former Liberal Democrat party president Simon Hughes said: “Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour has waved the white flag and given Theresa May a blank cheque to pursue a divisive Brexit. Now this leaked manifesto confirms they are refusing to give the British people the final say over the Brexit deal, no matter how bad.

A better future is available. The Liberal Democrats will stand up to Theresa May’s cold, mean-spirited Britain and against a bad Brexit deal that will cost jobs and put up prices. We will give you the final say on Brexit – with the option to stay in if you don't like the deal on offer."

Good news for Libdems.

M0nica I will echo your post.

There is nothing else to do about spilt milk but mop it up and carry on.

LibDem policy is to look at the negotiated deal and its consequenses, then ask "deal or no deal?" NOT meaning bad deal or appalling deal (jumping off the cliff to become an offshore tax haven for billionaires and forget everyone else). The choice should be "this deal or stay as we are with all the benefits of being in the EU?"

Theresa May has changed her mind about all sorts of things - IN/OUT, election/no election, various policies which were rubbish when UKIP or Labour proposed them but are now those of a "strong and stable Theresa May Team" manifesto.

If she can change her mind what is wrong with asking those who voted for a pig in a poke to think again when they are finally told what that vote could lead to?

Well said, MOnica. Having said that, I'd be jumping for joy, if a fairy came along and said it had all been a nightmare and the clocks were being turned back a year.

I was a remainer, I am a remainer and I will remain - a remainer. Being on the losing side does not mean you have to compromise your principles and pretend you support the insupportable.

However I am not a remoaner and I believe we should make the best of the bad decision that has been made.

I am just saying it as I see it varian.
