    I have a friend who was looking to buy a uav to survey his farm and land. He was looking at a 10000 dollar one and a 7000 dollar one. Each of us could make a exact copy for under 1000. Once I told him this, I now have to build him one. So whoever builds and sells uavs, they are raking in the money!!

    It's no more dangerous or addictive than cheeseburgers Londonguy... Some people do need help changing their habits whatever habit they're trying to change, and it can completely turn someone into an unmotivated slacker... but it's far less dangerous than caffeine, alcohol, or even aspirin. (Unless you count dangers from an ignorant society, in which case it's very dangerous. I have a relative who was kicked out of college and given a criminal record just for indulging... so yes, that danger is real, but the herb itself is not a threat to anyone.)

    That's a pretty cool story man.

    Oy, I find it really disorientating to fly a multirotor with a tilt cam... fun but hard. Just waiting until I have a good auto-level and will try it again.

    Great story.
    Liverpool police force had a quad, till someone decided to show it off at the police social club. It ended up at the bottom of the Mersey.

    I can't condone such reckless behavior! You wouldn't drink and drive! DON'T TOKE AND FLY KIDS!!! It's addictive and it may ruin your life.
    Addictive is not true other then psychologically, you can be addicted to computer games, food, TV, whatever, doesn't make the object itself addicting... And as far as the ability to operate anything from 'smoking', that is something that will depend on the individual heavily, but most (probably greater then 80%) could fly an RC airplane while toking!
