#1 Cannabis produced in Afghanistan supplies at least 90 percent of the world heroin stock.

The Iranians may have invented a new chemical process or an ayatollah pronounced a fatwa.

#12 Cannabis grows wild in Nebraska. You can drive along any dirt country road and see it along both sides. It's not supposed to be very potent, but I guess it would work as a biofuel.

If you need something "else" to make the day worthwhile, you're not living right.

#14 Hash is not seen much in the US marketplace. The pot here is so strong there is no need for it. Hashish is essentially processed pot, concentrated to increase potency.

At least that's what I remember from my college days.

#18 At 70 GB pounds per ounce/120 for pollen the UK giving them money to fight us, never mind the smack. Geez, 0.5 you make me laugh.

Actually, supplies of hashish in the UK virtually disappeared around the time of the Gulf Wars, thus locals started hydroponics, which I think is a good thing, just need to get off the oil tit now, I can't wait for Skunk oil.
