By producing it in the UK not only would we create jobs but we would turn drug dealers into business men and get them off of benefits.\r\n\r\nThe waste product would be used for paper, rope and even clothing.\r\n\r\nCannabis is the most widely consumed drug amongst all walks of life and we should all fight for legalisation.
