Cannabis

            Fact, cannabis is an annual herbaceous plant in the cannabaceae family. Humans have cultivated this herb throughout recorded history as a source of industrial fibre, seed oil, food, drugs and medicine. each part of the plant is harvested differently depending on the purpose of its use. Fact, federally cannabis is classified as a schedule 1 drug under the federal controlled substance act of 1970 and is deemed to have a high potential for abuse and no legitimate medical use. I think , and this is just an opinion, that the Washington lobbyist for the legalization of pot must be high and forgot that they are trying to legalize it. None the less, sad but true, it is illegal.
             My partner and I were in the process of building a restaurant in a marina. During the construction, I hung out in my sisters antique shop where I met with vendors and did interviews with potential staff. One such interview was with a young man that came with some great references, I was anxious for the meeting. He showed up and interviewed well, I asked if he wanted to take a drive to check out the restaurant, he said "sure". When we walked out side I told him that he had to drive, he got a shocked look on his face but obliged. As soon as I sat down in his car, I understood his fear, it reeked as though he had just smoked a blunt.I played dumb and off we drove. This guy worked with me for many years after that and we have a good laugh when ever we look back to the day of his interview. He has turned out to be quite the chef and to my knowledge the pot smoking has not slowed him down.
               Again, every ones chemistry is different and it is still illegal.
