Ethically you shouldn't.

Another good reason for removing the prohibition.

Not as much as I used to do. It tends to be occasional hashish in a pipe or herbal spliff. Obviously, I can't guarantee it's source and it's increasingly hard to find due to the plethora of Skunk about that I won't smoke. In a civilsed society I would grow my own. I don't smoke tobacco, I don't drink anymore either, but there you go.

I do - but as with grufty, I know exactly where I'm getting mine from and it isn't a sweatshop.

EDIT: Given the public nature of this forum, I'm even a little uncomfortable posting what I just did. Just trust me, I know the provenance of the pot I smoke.

Fair enough. But the message should now be, if you are not sure where it comes from - dont smoke it

Do you apply that same standard to everything you buy at the grocery store? At the clothes store? Do you own a mobile phone (and do you know where the coltan it contains was sourced)? How about your TV and the components that make up the computer you are using?
Modern market capitalism makes slave owners of us all.
(EDIT: including me... not levelling an accusation, just pointing out that singling out cannabis is a little simplistic)
