It's one of the great chicken and egg questions. Does coke turn you in to a shallow gabbling self-centred twat, or is it that people who aren't latent gabbling self-centred twats get bored of it?

there is a lot of truth there, but then it can also provide a massive dependable income to those who farm it too, more than other crops.

Yep. Who knows what fertilisers and pesticides are used. And as most agricultural chemicals aren't produced for crops that get smoked, they haven't been tested to see what happens when they are.
Imagine legalised drugs: fair trade cocaine, organic cannabis!
