Can someone explain what growing more would do?
That would just push governments to put more money into counteracting it.

As far as I can tell the government in at least Aus, America and UK are leaning towards the side of tougher penalties for growers, dealers and lesser punishments for users. If everyone grew that would just piss them off more.

As for the direction that the US, AUS, and Uk are headed, I agree with you.
As far as them being "madder" at us, I disagree.
LEO generally, (I know there are exceptions to everything) but in general, LEO isn't busting anyone because they are "mad" at them. Emotion has little to do with anything when it comes to law enforcement, LEO do what they do because they believe they are doing the right thing or they are trying to do the best job they can.
Cannabis is illegal. IT's their job, that's it. Has nothing to do with them being mad or happy. Personally, I respect anyone that tries to do the best they can no matter what they are doing. And I do respect the law and LEO's, they have the worst job in the world. Most are decent, kind humans, that living by their own personal convictions, and providing a service for everyone, even those that would hate them. It is a thankless job, these folks don't make the laws, they just enforce them. They have nothing to do with the laws otherwise, just their job.
Rant done.
Sorry...

I agree. I don't know where my logic hat was when I posted that. If everyone who smoked, grew, there wouldn't be any dealers to get mad at anyway.
BTW I'm not saying police would get angry, but the people who make the laws. But that's negated anyway.

Ok and here's my contribution to the Thread Topic.

This is what places like MPP and Norml do, for the people who say "where's my money gonna go?"
