    The idea that something you can just grow yourself like a plant of a fungus is illegal is ridiculous on the face of it.

      Yeah. It’s perfectly legal to grow and use your own tobacco plants. It’s only regulated when you want to sell or distribute it.

            Invasive species are covered by an entirely different set of laws and agency of enforcement.

            I’m ok with putting jurisdiction over all drugs under the DNR.

              I realize the post is about controlled substances, but the comment thread started with

              The idea that something you can just grow yourself like a plant of a fungus is illegal is ridiculous on the face of it.

              The idea that not being able to grow any plant you want is ridiculous is not well thought out. Something being natural doesn’t mean it should be available to anyone.

                I genuinely think the only legal restriction on growing plants should be if there is credible evidence that it harms the local ecology, and then a ban can be bypassed if the harmful plant is grown in an environment that would prevent that harm (eg in an indoor lab setting where seeds/spores/etc wouldn’t be able to escape).
