Whats down on our farm?

[scob89]

OK hardly any of you guys know this but we own 180 acres of farming land about 75 miles south of our place that we rent out. Anyway I was down there a couple of days ago and look what was growing right beside the lane to the farm.

And yes it is what you think it is and I'm suprised that its stilll there. I just had to stop and take a pic of it cuz I've never seen a bundle of Mary Jane's This BIG before.

Someone isnt a very smart planter. You should pick it, burn it and put up a sign there that says "I dont think so".

 

[necterine0]

lol That's funny...Ditto becca_4321

 

[scob89]

Well the thing is that its not planted. it natural. all the big bucshs in the ditch are the same thing this was just the biggest one. In Iowa we call it Iowa ditch because thats where its normally found.

 

[necterine0]

so it is not what we thought it was ????? is it just a natural plant that looks like the real stuff????

 

[becca_4321]

So do you have maryjane hunting like we have mushroom hunting? That must be a potheads dream to know if they cant afford to buy it they can go take walks and find plants growing in the wild.

Lol... some little birdy must have dropped his seeds, maaaaan...

 

[Love4Pits]

It's completely normal, if you remember that as late as WWII, hemp was grown and used for all sorts of things. It makes cheap, durable, non-acidic paper, hemp fabric is soft and durable. The army used hemp oil for lubrication and the ropes found on navy vessels were almost exclusively hemp ropes. Hemp was grown in huge fields throughout farm country!

 

[Sheba]

scob?this is a very good question for you and you only:do you have any horses?if so, how much and what breed?im thinking of buying one.

 

[scob89]

Nope No horses. Just cats, chickens, and guinas. Its the Real stuff.
Well I don't know about the manyjane hunts but I've been on a few mushroom hunts before.

yea... and it's fun to smoke every once in awhile. OOooops, did I just say that???!!!!

 

[Renee750il]

Haha, EliN! I guess you're fond of brownies too . . .

Charley and a couple of his buds (get it, buds . . . sorry! ) used to take the occasional road trip to Alabama for 'shroom hunts when he was at UT. The winters are warm enough that the spores survive. The best ones - I'm told - grow under cow pies. Gives a whole new twist to the term 's#%$ faced!

 

[bubbatd]

Tut tut.....there are youngsters and Grammys here !!!! ( Waht do I look for ???)

 

[Renee750il]

Grammy . . . this place wouldn't be nearly as much fun without you!

For some reason I have this urge to create a recipe for 'Herbed' 'Shroom hors d' oevres . . . I wonder what wine would go well with that?

 

[nedim]

Well, this topic is being taken strangely lightly...


Voices of experiene, I presme?

 

[EliNHunter]

Naw, Nedim... we're just guessin'! (and kiddin' around!)

That type of grass is legal to some extent in AK. I get sick just smelling the plants so Im not up on all the applicable laws.

Side note I used to make beer money for going along on buys, whatever bag made me the sickest they bought.

 

[Renee750il]

Actually, Nedim, when I grew up it was all very common. I never felt any urge to indulge, and peer pressure just didn't register with me, so although I had plenty of friends who did and I didn't sit in judgement on them, it just wasn't my thing. I did know everything that went on - my live and let live philosophy of tolerance seemed to be pretty well known. People confided things to me that they would never have told anyone else. They did things in front of me they'd never have done in front of anyone else. I've sat up with more than my fair share of people who got stupid and took too much or too many different things at once too! I've been the designated driver for most of my adult life as well . . .

The drug culture is much more dangerous now, and the chemical drugs are much more deadly than any used then . . . The stuff out there now that you guys have thrown in your face every day is ten thousand times more deadly poison than what we dealt with. Heroin was pretty much the worst thing you could get hooked up with then. It's tragic stuff, but nothing like meth . . .
