Louisiana House Bill 20

http://www.legis.state.la.us/billdata/byin...B20&doctype=ALL

Basically the wonderful people in charge of the "war on drugs" want a full ban of the growth of all of these plants. Most are not abused or abusable, and some are so prevalent in the wild that its amazing the person who came up with this crap had the brain cells to invent this list. The ones that were actually useful hallucinogens are for the most part already illegal by federal law anyway, so I'm failing to see the point of this, other than maybe government officials attempting to look busy. I can just see some poor sucker with some jimson weed growing somewhere on his lot getting hauled off to jail for manufacture of dangerous hallucinogenics.

Note for those unfamiliar with botanical terms, those spp. mean that the entire genus of plant would be regulated.

Don't they have anything better to do?
