In reply to the discussion: Feds Shut Down Marin Pot Club, (California's) Oldest [View all]Webster Green
(13,905 posts)The term "weed" usually refers to plants that have vigorous growth, and are undesirable. Pot is certainly vigorous, but it is only undesirable to the unenlightened. It is arguably the most useful plant known to man.
You seem to have the notion that tossing a bunch of seeds around and coming back in the fall, to harvest the results, is all that's required to produce the awesome nuggets available at cannabis dispensaries. Wrong!! Producing high-quality sinsemilla buds requires knowledge, lots of nutrients, a good deal of time and energy, and lots of love. The incredibly potent strains that are popular today were achieved by highly motivated hippie guerilla botanists like myself, who spent many hours of selective breeding and humping countless bags of organic fertilizers uphill, while running from fucking helicopters. The product sold in clubs and dispensaries, as well as the most highly desired black-market pot needs to be dried and cured properly (like tobacco), and beautifully manicured to fetch a decent price. Like most things, you get out of it what you put into it.
Cannabis dispensaries and providers are not real big on seeded Mexican dirt weed, if indeed that is what you are referring to when you mention that you grew up in Tucson. If you told me that you grew up in the hills of Mendocino County, CA that would impress me a little more, and indicate that you might have a clue about the subject. To the experienced growers and consumers of high grade sinsemilla, who might be reading this, it's fairly obvious that you are just blowing it out of your ass.
Can't imagine why you would choose to try to defend this crap. Cannabis is such an amazing plant, with so many uses. It's prohibition is relatively recent. In the past it was used for clothing, rope, paper, oil, medicine, and many, many other things. The reasons for its prohibition in 1937 were/are complete lies, yet the insane reefer madness persists to this day. It's disgusting!
