    Firstly this isnt a dig at the nhs but just asking for some moral guidance. So i have a friend who suffers with chronic stomach pains and as of the past 5 years our nhs hasnt been able to help him. The only thing that helps him is smoking a certain something.
    Now he has asked if i can start growing him some plants, so he doesnt have to buy any, just start them and advise him as they grow. He definately does not do this for recreation, only for pain relief as the oralmorph he was prescribed makes him extremely ill.
    Do i say no sorry or do i help a friend out???? If i say no ill feel guilty, if i say yes ill be a party to....
    Sorry if im not allowed to post it or ask it i just need some advice from a more mature audience....

      Moral guidance and legal guidance aren't always compatible bedfellows.

      Hi James, that's a predicament your in. :scratch: I don't need you to answer this, but if you're normally a law abiding citizen, then I think you have to say no. I would if in the same boat, friend or not. If this person doesn't accept your reply and your relationship suffers, then I'd accept the fact he/she was no real friend in the first place. :)

          I see no dilemma at all. You have something illegal you get caught with it, who get "done" he doesn't. You do

          Some good responses here, thank you all for keeping a level head about it.

          Won't delete the thread, but locking it down so all parties involved can see who's talking and have a private chat about the subject:dbgrtmb:
