Judging from the original poster's name, I'd guess that he is of East
Indian linneage, where it is also legal (in some portions) to grow
marijuana.  It is available in government shops.

I believe the poster can find this kind of information in magazines
available at most reasonable newsstands.  Check out _High Times_ magazine,
or _Sinsemilla Tips_ magazine.  The latter is, I believe, more oriented
towards growers, while HT is oriented towards growers, consumers and other
interested parties.

Regarding illegality, those new to the net should realize that a complete
feed of the USENET traffic is fed to the NSA (FBI too?) every week on
magnetic tape.  They buy the tape from uunet, a public access site.  Since
you have most certainly distinguished yourself enough to be identifiable to
the relevant authorities, you should be careful.  Especially after the rash
of raids by FBI types on suppliers of growing equipment who advertized in
High Times.

For all you lurkers out there who are thinking of similar questions which
could incriminate yourself, consider posting anonymously through a third
party (I will be glad to post for you as is my good friend John Berryhill
berryh@udel.edu)
