Hey I those plants looked familiar. I just went to the back of my folk's place and noticed these. Should I be concerned?

Is there public access?
Do satellites fly overhead?

Just had a few helicopters over and around the Island today.  I think they are about 30 days early

You could go into the hemp rope business........

Hmmnnn, so if the stimulant (THC?) in Mary Jane can be modified to reduce the "high", and if smoking the stuff was actually less harmful to your health than tobacco, then couldn't it be beneficial to long term tobacco users as a safer alternative?

I mean if you could grade the stuff like we do with beer, (light, heavy, depending on alcohol content) and let smokers know what was a safe blood/THC (?) level, and make it an offence to ride/drive over this limit, then where's the harm in that? And the good thing is that the tobacco farmers and the industry (and the government) wouldn't need to lose out either, they'd just plant dope, rather than tobacco? Cheers, Terry.

Damn, first thing Terry has ever posted that makes sense. He must have smoked a doobie. 

we have about 60 acres of prime tobacco land down in NC, I wonder if we could get a movement
going for this. I know it would grow great MJ.

..and if smoking the stuff was actually less harmful to your health than tobacco,..

Sorry to dash your hopes and plans..

Leave it to the Brits to spoil your fun.

[old750]

tobacco smoke is less harmful than mj smoke. smoke in your lungs is smoke in your lungs whether its campfire smoke or cigarette smoke it's all just as bad.

Send a sample to me just for testing purposes.

..hmmm.. okay, so three unfiltered mj cigarettes contain the same level of tar as a pack of unspecified tobacco cigs.
I suppose that one who may be so inclined, could possibly devise some method of removing some of that harmful tar by some means of filtration. Perhaps a pipe of some kind, maybe containing water or other beverage.

This should help to reduce the health hazard posed by tar, and may also reduce the amount consumed.

The article does not address the fact that tobacco contains poisonous and highly addictive nicotine, whilst mj does not.


Happy trails.

No RM, you and me agree on lots of things, it's just the "G" word that makes you cranky with me, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.

I think the Brits missed the boat on this one too!

The Pot smoking causes lung cancer goes up in smoke,

  Pipe dream RM, pack up the wife, horses,squirrels, and property and come on up. Theres lots of space for entrepreneurs with discretion. TIA once had a brilliant idea with his flying Northern Night Soil Service but I don't think he followed through with it . Who knows, you could be successful enough to retire to an oceanfront mansion in balmy, beautiful British Columbia.

[seaweb11]

    The lot next door is still available

[Bob Wessner]

If you have to build a storage and processing facility on the lot, just don't finance it with a "creative mortgage."

Here's two thoughts, first if you are religous, then   either God (him or herself) in any of his or her guises ( jehova, buddha,krisna,allah etc) Made EVERYTHING on this planet,and therefore FOR everybody, and all of us have an equal right to partake of ANY plant that do groweth upon the planet, and NO-ONE has the right to own all of anything, as its for everyone to share, and no HUMAN has the right to say "do not partaketh of that"
OR,
You could be NOT religeous, an atheist say,.......and then,
Nature made everything, and made us, and we have an absolute and equal right to partaketh of any plant material that do groweth here. And heres one Raul,
A travelling man was walking accross the fields of england one day.
he was happy and free and was enjoying the summers day, he noticed a river up ahead and made haste to get there to see what it was like....
A raven alighted at his prescence, and flew to a nearby age old oak tree and settled upon an ancient branch, it looked down at him with a cocked head and beady eye.
the man observed the raven and was delighted he had noticed it, he decided to rest awhile by the tree, and slumped down at its roots and leant back against the sturdy trunk, feeling the pressure in his aching back, and thinking to himself that this felt so good and soothing.
He looked up at the clouds , and started to make out shapes that looked like peoples faces.
Life was good he thought to himself, and feeling relaxed, he rested his head against that centuries old tree and thought to himself, "tree, i bet over the centuries that you have existed, if you had a voice you would have many tales to tell" and with that thought,and the heat of the summer sun, the walk he had done to get there,he started to doze off...
JOLTED into the here and now, by an awfully loud unintroduced stranger shouting "OY YOU" at him....
The man was more catapulted out of sleep then awakened from it.
"yes" he said politely
" Your on MY land" said the stranger who through half closed and sleepy eyes appeared to be wearing tweeds and riding boots,and carrying a riding crop that was being used to emphasise his words in a sort of pointing in your face manner.
"what?" said the traveller, "who are you?"
"I " said the stranger " am lord Derbyshire,and This is MY land that your orn, and I want you orf right now"
"now dont be daft" said the traveller "how can it be your land?"
" OF course its my land,you ignoramous" snarled lord derbyshire," I bloody well own it, and want you orf now, or 
you will be seeing my dogs, and pointy end first at that!"

"OK, " said the traveller, "IF, as you say, this land is yours, who did you get it off?"
" I got it orf my father" snapped lord derbyshire.
"and who did he get it off?" said the traveller.
" well I would have thought that obvious, " grimaced lord derbyshire a face like thunder itself now.
"he got it orf his father of course, and his father before him,for generations this has been the case ever since the FIRST lord derbyshire, I,being the sixteenth and rightfull owner."

"AND whom pray, did the first lord derbyshire get the land off?" whispered the traveller,just loud enough for the lord to hear.
" well my man", triumphantly exclaimed the lord,I would have thought that obvious even for an uncouth vagrant like you, the first lord derbyshire FOUGHT for it" and emphasised that by smacking his boot with the riding crop.

The traveller heaved himself slowly and deliberately off the ground, turned to face the  lord squarely on, and said in a calm voice,
"OK, take your jacket off then, and I will fight you for it"

the moral of this parable is of course, concerning the plants.......

And after that excellent story by Karl, I'll add, "What's the greatest natural enemy of the Dildo farmer?"

Thanks for the tale, I never heard it before. I don't plan to fight for the plants, but your story is great food for thought....

Here is a photo of the lot next door.  1/2 million and it's yours.

A bit expensive for storage buildings, but is very quiet. We don't take our keys out of our vehicles, we don't lock our homes, you can leave a bicycle or car any where and come back and it will still be there. I was down at one of the pubs the other day and a guy came up to me and asked where he could lock his bike?   I said, where do you think it is going?. 

I think it's as close to Mayberry as you can get

2 plants do not make a grow OP............ just a happy October.

Well let's see, Tommy still lives in Vancouver. I saw him in the marijuana monologs at a theater couple years ago and was invited to then met him later at a resteraunt for dinner with a bunch of other people.

He did TIME in prison because George Bush and his cronies didn't like the fact that he had a web site that sold bongs to the poor uneducated kids in the states. Yeah, like he was the only reatailer on the planet!     Cheech on the other hand went main stream and they 2 of them don't talk any more.
