Why can't they just ask, "Should adults have the freedom to grow and consume herbs like Cannabis"? For some reason it is always equated with alcohol, and limited to "small amounts". To me this is just setting it up so any legal cannabis will be controlled by corporations and governments from day one. It stinks.

Nobody would dream of limiting how many home-grown tomatoes you can grow in your own back yard? Why should cannabis be different?
