used to routinely plant cannabis seeds in public places. Parks, government building flower beds, here and there. On the local University campus, too. Anywhere things got watered regularly. It was a joke, of course, but you'd be surprised at how much of what we planted grew to have buds and flowers. We never went back and harvested any of it, but we sure planted a lot of seeds. Those were the days when seeds were plentiful in baggies of weed.
Bunch of Johnnie dope seeds we were.
Where I lived, the county District Attorney stopped prosecuting people for simple possession. Things were pretty easy, as long as you didn't flaunt the stuff and kept your use to yourself.
That said, we were also always aware that people were being arrested and jailed for weed. We all worked toward decriminalization or legalization. It took many decades to see that happen, though. Now that it has, "No, no, no, no, I don't smoke it no more."
