There are a lot of plants that only grow in certain places around the world, but thankfully, cannabis is not one of them. Certain strains thrive in particular climates and we often recognize it in the name, for example, Durban Poison or Afghan Kush. They call it weed for a reason; basically, this plant can grow all over the globe. Unfortunately, can doesn’t always mean should, especially when it could lead to serious consequences. Being able to cultivate cannabis and having the legal right to do so are two completely different things. Depending on where you are in the world, getting caught illegally cultivating cannabis can mean exorbitant fines, corporal punishment, jail time, and/or even the death penalty. 

Cannabis Consequences Crossword

There’s a legal principle derived from old Roman law that is still in practice today: ignorantia juris non excusat (ignorance of the law excuses not). Regardless of where you are in the world, you are expected to obey the laws of that land. When it comes to respecting a country’s rules and regulations, you can get through most situations by practicing basic common sense. However, there are major exceptions to this rule, especially when it comes to weed. The consequences for cannabis cultivation vary significantly around the globe. From non-existent to unforgiving and severe, each government is free to punish as they see fit. Basically, if you are going to grow cannabis illegally, you had better know what to expect if you are busted.
