has anybody bought seeds and grown a cannabis plant,I believe it can cure aches and pains?

Answer 1

no and would not either i do believe it can help pain in certain circumstances like ms but i don't think i would take it i would not want to get into trouble with the police if they found out

Answer 2

Because the seeds are no a problem. Plus, it's hard to determin exactly wha a seed is, unless it's germinated. What if someone owns cannabis seeds, but none of them germinate? How can you tell if a seed is something else? That sort of law is so hard to prosecute. How can you prove that someone KNEW they were cannabis seeds, and not, say, roses? If you're growing it, however, you know what it is. The plants are illegal. Any reason for growing the plant, be it for seeds or pot, is illegal. They do it because mostly, they don't have any plants. They buy them off people who live in Thailand, or Afghan, where we have no juristiction, and so we can't do anything about them buying the seeds.

Answer 3

Not me, personally, but I have a friend & neighbour who did though someone else brought the seeds from S. Africa to the UK. When the police came to investigate why someone had shot another neighbour's chickens the pot plants were all over my friend's conservatory. The law took no notice. Probably thought "Nah, nice quiet village, little old lady..." She swears by it for her arthritis and puts it in biscuits and lamb stew.

Answer 4

For cannabis to have any effect it has to be grown in the correct conditions and they have to be female plants, people growing it in wardrobes and pot plants are simply growing plants that have not effect whatsoever.

Answer 5

Be careful. A granny is being sentenced today after the authorities were tipped off that she was growing cannabis in her wardrobe.

They took her stash. She was using it to treat her depression.

Answer 6

this practice is against the law and you risk losing your liberty but in answer to your q you would b able to grow a cannabis from seed given the correct soil etc.

Answer 7

Trying, not easy to do from a seed.....

Does wonders for pain if you get the right kind of marijuana. Advice getting legal if this is what you want to do....

Answer 8

Answer 9

some people have bought some but it didut it work.

Answer 10

As I live in a repressive nation(USA), I am not able to do as you suggest. Cannabis, however, has quite the reputation, backed up by scientific evidence, as a wonderful, organic, non-addictive, non-toxic medicine. Please see the links below.
