We live in the "free-est" country in the world, yet for 5% of the world's population, we boast more laws than any other country, 50% of the world's waste, and 25% of the world's prisoner's. I find it difficult to understand why we are the free country when we have more prisoners than anyone else. Granted we don't kill people left and right for crimes, but we kill some, so that isn't gone. America is the land of rules, where you are free to think that you are free, but only if you follow all the rules. I agree Rob, and it sucks. Too bad there isn't some "undiscovered" land somewhere that a bunch of us could go to settle a new "free"country. Maybe Canada.

From an article in Salon magazine:

"Look at the past 25 years -- we went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their ****ing eyes on," says Haggard. "In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now. I mean, there was nobody going to throw you down on the side of the road spread-eagled, and look up your butt for a ****ing marijuana cigarette. God almighty, what have we done to each other?"

I'm in Australia, and we have one state with a sitution that is a sort of de criminalistion, but in reality, I believe it's virtually legal in one sense, as in the courts dont bother to pusrsue people to much over offences, but cops being what they are, they still enjoy their bust .

so I gather the Gestapo still has it's times there.

Another state, is looking like trialing pot for medicine.

Two other states will give an individual up to 3 warnings before u are prosecuted {theoretically}.

But we have this state called Queensland, that still has laws, and an approach to dope, that is unreal.

I used to live in western Qld, which from what i have seen from Holliwood, resembles Texas maybe, to look at, and in weather.
Anyway, u can still here drunks sitting at the bar of hotels, sludging down their beers, deciding the best thing for these marijuaua smokers is to publicly execute one or two of them, as an example.

In truth, to be prosecuted in Queensland to the full extent of the law for pot, u would be better off having commited a murder under passion, for real.
You'd be treated better by the cops at least.

Somethings gotta give, this is crap we are putting up with.
A guy in a town called Muwullimbah, was selling a tea made from a herb that couldnt get u high, but was a sure fire cure for asthma.

It's in the Byron Bay area in Aus, so a lot of alternative type people who suffer asthma used to g get their cuppa tea there every day to treat their asthma, even some "straight" people in the town took their children there to get the tea, as it worked so well.

The cops landed on it one day, and took everything from the shop, they had done some tests, and found a super tiny amount of efidrine in the tea, so they confisctaed all that he had, and arrested him.

Since then, the UN has banned the particular herb he was selling for asthma cure.
It's as hot to grow as pot, all at the same time as Galaxo, the company that makes ventalin, spent a fortune making research into better medicines for asthma.

But apparently, it wasnt as good as the tea, and ventalin can kill ya.

we gotta do something

Who are these people?

Hey Rob,

Yeah, we have some states trying to de-criminalize. For medicinal uses you are able to grow and possess a certain amount. The ones I know of offhand are California, Oregon, and Alaska.... but I know there are more. The only problem is that even though it is legal iunder state law, the US government still has federal laws against herb. So you can be left alone by state police, but the feds will come and bust you. Convienient how they have that one worked out.

Hi All.. Cool Thread you started, interesting information in it.
And to bring back a few replies and reply to a few myself...
Smoking anything for a period of time can kill you or give you cancer. "My grandfather, now 81, has smoked 1 pack of canadian cigs a day since age 17". so i guess part of your dna structure, and genetic traits, depending where you live such as europe, usa, canada, soviet uniom... and the food we all eat affects the way our body reacts to things such as a cold, a wart, a cut, acne, and the way things heal and shields off...affect our immune system,and im sure that includes our organs as well. even if yo da healthiest buffest mofo out there u can die from heart desease. u can smoke all life and had eating disorders and lived on for 80 years but then you would be very skinny but immune to so many viruses. Thats just my theory.

as for flavouring weed... i would try several ways to proove my theory as they have not been tested yet.
One of them would be while growing adding 1 kind of veggie parts, like a pepper, or a tomatoe, carrot, "these are just veggies that i like" in the medium or when harvesting Cure the pot with the parts.

this is tested. And is sweet tasting! ive done this for a loooong time with my buddies back in the day which we still do while kickin it today...
If your a blunt lover, you can apply a thin layer of chocolate syrup along the side edge of a blunt paper and use that side to seal the blunt. spark and enjoy the sweet tastin chocolaty ganja! you can do this with honey as well!
so there, blunt or spliff a la Honey and\or Chocolate. Choose your Flavor!

this method may also work with artificial food flavouring as i remember a past reply in this thread. i never tried it though.

i even know a friend of mine who sprays a very very very thin mist of colone.. Me i wouldnt spray colone on weed, but i have smoked it before. and dont care for it that much.

Have you ever tried curing weed in a big ass hollow PumpKin"? lol

Thanks for your time dudes Later On

Inside the Xylem tubes of the main stem there is a layer of a gel or a skin type of thing that is full of the plants natural sugars. the point of that is the water a naturally lower sugar content migrates or transpirates to another place with more sugar... if you put the sugar in the water you plant will not take in the water and then your palnt will die. it is a useless idea if you want good taistin buds then learn how to grow and cure better.

Nice try, and I will always learn to grow tastier, better buds. However you are leaving out a few tricks in Plant Physiology. The biggest being that water potential isn't the main driving forcce behind transpiration... cappilarity is. Also that you don't put so much sugar in the water so as to "overfertilize" the plants. Also, the xylem elements have no barriers between cells in a continuous line. They are free and open. Matter of fact, there is no living part of a xylem cell, so that kinda shoots your plan too. The sugar works just fine, and don't scare people into not trying things that do work. The point of the sugar is to support the plants respiration while clearing any unused fertilizer out of their systems. But then... you knew that.

I find the most important aspect of any practicle aplication of a thing;is the practicle aplication of practice.

Kinda neet way of puttin it I thought .

Anyway, I used to breed Australian native rainbowfish, there's a type called "threadfin rainbow", and according to all the theoretical nformation, they couldn't be bred in captivity.

Due mainly to the impossiblity if reproducig the exacting water specs that the fish live in naturally.

Then I bred them.
The fish group Ibelonged to wouldn't believe it, so they all came around, by and by, and saw for themselves that there they where, and as Ilived about 2 thousand miles from the closest wild collection of these fish, it hd to be admitted thatIhad succedded in breeding these fish.

If u haven't tried to breed sensitive fish, this is probably insignificant, but to put it simply, I had dome what all the text books said couldn't be done, and the hardest to swallow it, where the two guys who wrote the book.{literally}

Similarily, I avent ever put sugar in with my plants, but Ihave gardened pot for 20 years, and have done manythings that peole said couldn't be done.

Intersingly, things that later became stardard things to do.
Well, some of those things.

If someone tells me they have done something, {unless they stand to gain from such a lie}, I believe them.

Just because Ihaven't ever done a thing, or can"t see technically how a thing could possibly be done; doesn't mean it hadn't or can't be done.

It just means that I haven't done it, and there is a gapin knowledge somewhere.

Freinds don't lie to 1 another, and in all the time Ihave applied this credit to people, only a few people have let me down.

I just thought I would mention this,as it doesn't just apply to growing pot, but life in general, always give people credit for what they are saying, or else u maybe missing out on somehinggreat, for the sake of being technically correct.

rob.

Hey, thanks buddy.

And good job with the fish. You aren't trying to breed anything else over there that isn't supposed to breed, are you? I have this image of an ape with wings, or a goldfish with tentacles. Hee hee.

I thought I would mention though, just so nobody goes and ruins their crop, that the sugar thing I do is in hydro, 1tsp/gal, and I make sure to use either raw cane sugar or pure dextrose (with some other goodies thrown in).

BG are you getting things all stirred up again? damn keep cool thread, lots of interesting reading.
