It's grown through using Hydroponics. This means that no soil is used. Instead nutrients are fed in through water where the plants roots rest and strong artificial light is usually used to simulate sunlight. With this amount of control, growers can increase the potency and speed of growth. Because this can all be done indoors, it also means that the whole operation is hidden away and not exposed outdoors.

Hydroponic systems are popular with indoor growers of any plant - not just Marijuana. I'm actually growning three Tomato plants now with an AeroGarden unit (as seen on TV) - same thing.

I for one believe that marijuana should be made legal, or decriminalized (no longer a crime) as it is the only current illegal substance, which has no proven negative impacts upon the human body. This is obviously to a certain extent (when not smoked daily for 25 years straight), and when smoked pure (without the adding of tobacco or other substances.

Another possible outcome would be for the government to regulate both the supply and demand of marijuana (demand through taxation, hence supply also) as done with tobacco. This would not only result in better quality, greater purity, and more suitable quantities, but would also add significant fiscal benefits.

It is far more profitable for them to continue fining people.

As for its effects, I have witnessed it cause mental disorders in people. Of course, in many people it doesn't. And that hardly ways up to the cancer (amongst other things) cigarettes can cause. I am suffering health problems now because of my exposure to constant second hand cigarette smoke as a child.

Having one legal & not the other is hypocrisy at its finest.

I do think it is something that clogs up our legal system a lot more than it should...however potheads can't seem to get organized enough to lobby for support to get any bills passed.
