Now you'll really want to visit my new house!!

[KarenSews2]

The builder had called me early (for me) in the morning to ask some silly question about sinks. About 30 min. later, he called me laughing. He said that if I wanted to grow marijuana, I'd at least plant it in the woods. After reminding him that those plants need full sun, he said that someone was watering it, and it was growing next to the dumpster! We figure it has to be one of the workers. However, the past few days, they have been spraying laquer and other kinds of non-latex paint, so just walking into the house can give you a buzz!!! :eek:

And NO, I'm not taking brownies to Nashville!! ;)

[Darlene]

Ahh....Come on bring some brownies...Please. I won't tell.

Te he he he.
Darlene

[DaveM]

Yeah....if you bring brownies.....we can all still say we didn't inhale....

Does this have you wondering just what has been thrown into that dumpster, by any chance?

[KarenSews2]

Does this have you wondering just what has been thrown into that dumpster, by any chance?

Not really. I think it was probably quite intentional, and I think I can figure out which guy it is. :rolleyes:

[Dee]

PFFFFFT! AAAAAH! Wasn't me. :p

[Bat]

Well, fer cryin' out loud, don't tell! Just threaten to, and get half...and some seeds.

Ya know, since I can't take NSAIDS, codeine and a lot of toher good drugs, maybe my cool ex-folkie, child of the 60's guitar playing doctor who shares my last name would prescribe it for pain control........ and it might help my mood as well.....

[DaveM]

Interesting....my mother can't take any of those things either. Perhaps she could benefit from some herbal medicine. If my brother and I took a good walk through the nature center he runs.....we could most likely locate some of that "certain substance" in relatively short order.

I never have understood how anyone expects to control the use of a weed which to my knowledge grows wild in all 50 states. I know the cultivated stuff is supposed to be a lot more powerful than the home-picked stuff that was around in my day, be even so....

A bit south of the Twin Cities metro area, the government had a hemp farm during World War II--at war's end, they just let the stuff go wild. So if you happen to drive around the Rochester area during the warmer months, chances are you'll see folks stopped along the road and wandering the ditches. Picking berries or mushrooms, if you ask. If I remember right, the county sheriff once kept a deputy on full-time "pot patrol", but to my knowledge, the authorities have long since decided there were better uses for the taxpayer's money.

When David was telling me about his find, I told him that there is a plant that is indiginous (sp?) to Indiana. He knew about that plant even though he's from Oklahoma and used to have a close, "working" relationship with the other plant in question. He tells it that he was quite the hellion in his youth and if it hadn't been for findin' 'ligion, he'd either be in prison or dead. He leans way to the right on many things.

Dave, when we lived in East Tenn, the summer news shows were filled with reports of airplane fly-overs to find pot fields in the middle of corn fields. They'd find 'em and burn 'em. I offered to fly over to make sure they were burning properly...:cool:

[DaveM]

They used to do that around here, too....actually, I worked for an aerial photography company for a while and while the photos we took went to the Soil Conservation Service, I'm sure they got the once-over from people looking for unusual patches in the middle of corn fields.

I do recall when one such patch was "busted"--the harvest filled an entire bay of the county garage. And an amazing number of people discovered they had business at the county garage that day. No idea what eventually happened to whatever was left. In my old home town, they used to burn the stuff in an incinerator behind one of the grocery stores. Somehow, they never got it burning all that well, and the usual result was that the whole town wound up smelling like Woodstock. And the clerks at the grocery store spent a lot of time out back chasing down stray leaves.

Noel, that is why there is a "2" after KarenSews. It means I do lots of other things, 2! ;)

...and eating Twinkies??

Hemp, though being in the same family, is not the cannabis source that Marijuana is...but still, the idiots who think they know something about agriculture will insist upon preventing the cultivation of hemp for fiber in this country...it makes some pretty nice fiber for clothing, besides burlap bag stuff which is not so comfy.
If your plant is simple hemp, Karen, don't expect too much of a jolt, if any.:D

[hoops]

ring dings, tho i've never had the "stuff" ring dings are just good food
