(8,175 posts)He told me that when I asked him if the plants I found on a hill I was hiking on would help a friend who was dying of prostate cancer. Of course, I was too stupid to know you needed the seed buds of a mature plant, and not the leaves of a young plant.
He said no, that seedlings from an illegal grow (it had been busted the year before and they cleaned it out, but some seeds must have scattered and some random plants were growing in the area) would not be potent enough to do anything.
I felt bad for my friend. It wasn't legal here yet, except for medical use. I wish he'd gotten a prescription from his doc to try it. He was in hospice already and could barely get any food down from nausea. He's been gone a long time now and I haven't thought about it since until this thread came up...I always wanted to know if he was right about that.
