I'm not Irish.

Yes. Alcohol is far more dangerous as a substance for adults to use for recreational purposes. That's fact.

It is impossible to overdose on cannabis in its natural (plant) form. The effects of cannabis are different than alcohol - the two experiences are not the same.

But, most importantly, anyone can make wine or beer at home, and some do. They do it for themselves, for a hobby, not an income. Those people are not subject to arrest. If you're an avid gardener, like Michael Pollan, for instance, and would like to grow this plant - that's illegal.

It's insanity disguised as law.
