There has been a discussion about the point of prosecuting a woman who happens to have seeds and stems, but not leaves of marijuana plants.

Drugs in the Law Prof: Do you prosecute the woman for having seeds?

Student: I guess it depends - do you smoke seeds? Can you smoke seeds?

Prof: Of course you can! It causes a horrible burning sensation in your throat, but you can smoke it. As for the stems - you can brew them and make a great tea, only it gives you a really bad upset stomach.
