> Regulating human consumption of anything that grows from the ground is absolutely ridiculous.

As always, it depends. While I agree wrt marijuana, everyone would be an opiate addict if poppy wasn't regulated - it's just that good.

> At the minimum, nobody should have the ability to tell me I can’t buy seeds and grow a plant for my own personal consumption.

There should be some exceptions, like banning invasive species, but in general, you're absolutely right.

The asbestos lobby is really getting creative here.

As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.

Try not to think about poppy flowers I guess.

I don't know how anyone could disagree with this.

what is the logic behind that anything that can be homegrown should be legal? it makes enforcement harder, but it doesn't make any potential damages any better or worse

Human consumption of potatos is also strongly regulated. You can not just grow and eat potatoes, without paying taxes!
