There has to be some use for all those government employees.<br /><br />It would also provide economic security for Jersey should it decide to be independent in a way that the finance industry never can.Darius Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207593799348887450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667039295268759670.post-15815259601131321632012-04-22T17:27:22.562+01:002012-04-22T17:27:22.562+01:00I have no idea how to grow anything, other than wh...I have no idea how to grow anything, other than what has come to me from watching documentaries and they don't go into too many details on this particular crop.<br /><br />As I understand it, the climate is not suitable and it would require greenhouses to be converted to just the right conditions... I do believe that the initial investment would see an appropriate return though.Darius Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207593799348887450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667039295268759670.post-17645511833169938252012-04-22T16:02:06.258+01:002012-04-22T16:02:06.258+01:00Could farmers grow Marijuana in Jersey if allowed?...Could farmers grow Marijuana in Jersey if allowed? I thought it required all that hydroponic stuff because we dont have the right conditions weather wise. I suppose they could use greenhouses but would that still require investment into hydroponic stuff. I am a bit ignorant on this, when I use the word hydropnic I assume it means strong lamps and the like and therefore couldn't just simply be grown in our climate outdoors.<br /><br />I would also expect you to come across the argument that land lost to growing Marijuana would be land lost for food crops and we are losing that land already bit by bit.<br /><br />Having said that, although I dont smoke the stuff myself I dont see any viable legal reason for not decriminilising it and growing it here. People are always going on about alcohol fuelled violence but you dont tend to get that with Marijuana. The only places you get it are in countries such as America with their gang problems but that is down to the gangs wanting to control trade. Often you see in films the gangs taking a hit of weed before going on a drive by etc but thats nothing to do with the weed itself. That is another possible argument you might come up against that weed can cause people to become violent. Its not the weed its the gang culture.<br /><br />You'd get my vote if you could make some inroads on this. Like I said I dont smoke the stuff, used to but cant stand it anymore yet I think its time to sort out the criminalisation of it and perhaps put some money into the coffers from it. A cash crop I believe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
