Do you know how people grow it? The seeds itself are nature, but when they come into a dealers hand they are nothing nature about it. To make it strong they add grass growers, to grow it safety they grow it instead with artificial lighting, to make it stronger they have to use powerful chemicals to actually produce an intense feeling. And the plant itself only has a small part where you can actually grab it and smoke it, and overall the thing will make you dumb if you smoke it for awhile, just like drinking. I'm in Canada myself, and none of what you said happens, being don't go into a city square such as Vancouver, or Toronto to smoke it. If you did you know what would happen to the economy? Sure the government would save a ton of money on law enforcement and gain money from taxes, but what would it do to kids who smoke it. It's illegal, but what's the right age to smoke it? None cause it's bad in general.
Nothing nature about it.
