@growdoctordc, It's more than a family tradition. This is a personal political position, a way of life. I don't know how to say it. Despite the illegal status of cannabis in my country, more than 70% of Russians have tried Smoking marijuana at least once in their lives. At the same time, there is a huge underground drug industry that harms the country's economy. More than 65% of those convicted of drug - related crimes are the possession, distribution or cultivation of cannabis. Because of the aggressive paranoia of my government, Western democratic values are perceived as hostile. Therefore, the government of my country has criminalized the promotion of narcotic drugs, so any public activity for the legalization of marijuana can lead to prosecution. But, some more tolerant politicians are trying to decriminalize cannabis. In 2017, the international Congress of hemp growers was held in Russia for the first time. In April 2018, the authorities of the St.-St. Petersburg first agreed to March for the legalization of marijuana, but later the agreement was canceled.

@growdoctordc, Cannabis is a unique plant that grows in different parts of the globe. This plant is in the cultures of different peoples of the world. For example, cannabis was actively used by the ancient Slavs as clothing, food and medicine for many hundreds of years. Russia during the time of Napoleon, was the main exporter of cannabis products to Europe. In the USSR there was a powerful agricultural sector cannabis, and was an active scientific activity, there existed a community has work and the Union of growers. "Chui valley" is included in the UNESCO memory book as a natural wonder - the largest plantation of wild hemp. With the legal ban on cannabis and the recognition of its drug, everything changed, the industry and scientific activities were destroyed, and cannabis lovers became outlaws. My great-grandfather grew cannabis, my grandfather also grew cannabis. That's why I can't give it up.
