The cannabis talk was very interesting, not remotely bushcrafty (more about the difficulty
in getting convincing evidence of its effectiveness, over and above placebo, for medicinal
use, without the effects on the brain).

I expect the Monday night one will also not be that bushcrafty either but it's all good stuff
as far as I'm concerned cos it's plants, innit

Sure is, it's good to know about them, the good and the bad.

Thanks for letting us know how it went Jodie
