Decriminalizing marijuana

oh yeah I remember High Times from when I was in college. We used to poster our walls with the killer bud "centerfolds" like the incredible losers we were when we were 19. but you know what i still have a strong desire to grow my own really good bud. I dont really desire to smoke it anymore but I like the idea of succesfully growing a small harvest of cannibis with serious buds on em. just because its something ive always wanted to do and never did it. had friends who did it. it didnt look too hard. one guy i knew who was really into Tolkien even had a strand he called Shire Weed. he had posters of bilbo smoking a pipe and all kinds of Tolkien paraphenalia all over the place. it seemed so.... romantic at the time. but i dont know. maybe i should stick with brewing my own beer for now....

[Lizra]

Oh Geez yes! Stick to the beer...but I know just what you're talking about. It was truely a romantic, "far out" little counter culture. Very childish though! Home grown is always best!

[Hasty Ent]

My favorite book about homegrown is Budding Prospects by T. Corghessan Boyle (spelling?). Desparately funny stuff.

Still, in all seriousness, it's a very dangerous business and I don't recommend it to anyone. Knew someone once that had a very high tech operation in a high rise, complete with a motorized track so that the movement of the lamps mimicked the sun... Don't know how he got away with it, and wouldn't suggest it to anyone.

On the other hand, I don't think 'growing' it is illegal, just selling and smoking it... Does growing it constitute possession? Anyone know the law on that?

[zinnite]

The laws might vary from state-to-state, but I know in Missouri it is illegal to grow it, or even possess seeds. My former roommate, who has an undergrad degree in horticulture, tried to grow some for fun. he had a pretty elaborate set-up, but ended up dismantling it after deciding it wouldn't be worth getting busted for a few plants. i doubt it would have produced enough to really do anything with, he just wanted to see if he could do it.

i think the "crime" is cultivation, rather than possession.

actually one plant can get you close to a thousand dollars. i know a friend who grows it and i have seen the plants and he just keeps them in an industrial lot in high grass

i dunno maybe its only in australia but i think the law is any more than 1 plant and you can get fined, but if its only one its legal...
i found seeds in my room yesterday that i have for no reason at all, quite a shock actually

[gimli7410]

i meant from all the bud on a plant you can sell it for 1000. but growing any weed here is a illegal

[Grey_Wolf]

If people could just slam their fists down on the table and say:

NO, I DO NOT WANT ANY DRUGS WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!

And with the need for euphoria gone, the drugdealers will have to find better ways to make money.

I know what you mean! BUT....you will progress and they will stagnate (in the long haul...which is what life is) Be glad you are learning how to deal with the real world. They unfortunately, are learning how to escape, which at your young "age of discovery" with great personal deeds yet to be done, is sad.

Just a passing note:

Monday, September 15, 2003:
CANADIAN BAKIN': Ha! Ha! The "Official" Canadian Government medical marijuana turned out to be a little less than high quality.

"Some of the first patients to smoke Canada's government-approved marijuana say it is "disgusting" and they want their money back.

Health Canada, the federal health department, started selling marijuana in July to bring relief to patients suffering from AIDS, cancer and other diseases. The move followed a court order that patients should not be forced to get their marijuana from drug dealers on the streets.

But some of the first to buy the government's marijuana say it is no good.
"It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS patient in Gibsons, British Columbia.

Wakeford and Barrie Dalley, a 52-year-old Toronto man who uses marijuana to combat the nausea associated with AIDS, are returning their 1-ounce bags, and Dalley is demanding his money back — about $195 plus taxes. Wakeford is returning his unpaid bill for two bags with a written complaint.

The marijuana is being grown for Health Canada deep underground in a vacant mine section in Flin Flon, Manitoba, by Prairie Plant Systems on a contract worth about $7.5 million."


No wonder it sucks. They took "bids" from a government contractor to grow this "stuf" in an abandoned mineshaft!

$7.5 million?!?!

You know how much high quality weed a half dozen stoners could produce on patch of land with that kind of money?
