Re: TI-H: Please help me on a survay
The problem with pot is simply that it is a gateway drug to other drags.
i.e. narcotics. Another major problem is that unless you grow it yourself
you don't know what the hell is in that shit. If you get caught growing it
though, it's assumed that you're selling it..
