I recall back in NJ as a teen..... they found a huge plot growing in a field behind Kennedy Hospital in Stratford..... we all used to cut through the field on the way to the Field's Department store......if we had just known....

In another incident..... someone found another big field growing behind a service station... they called the cops who called the TV folks and the field was shown on TV......problem was, nobody from the PD secured the field so when the police narc squad showed up next day to pull up the weeds.... the field was empty... no vegetation left in it....somebody showed up in the middle of the night and helped the police harvest the plants... funny!

I'm not Bobby.
And I know gold when I see it.

And I also remember all the jerks trying to pass off  Tai wrapped with string.
And if you know what I mean you know it's tied with.

Bobby. Damn what a way to start the day.

Bye.

Oops. Sorry, Michael.
It was late, after a long hot day working in the sun.
Of course you're right.
No stems, no seeds that you don't need.....

I have to concur with Soundtrapper..... cool name by the way.....

It has been about 30 years or so since I indulged in this I do not approve of the use of  illegal drugs........ however, I do see Cannabis in a slightly different way. It is currently illegal and that is the law. It was legal once and I believe it will be legal again soon.... like I said in an earlier post.

I also believe the plant has medical properties that are useful and we should use those aspects to treat people who have side effects from chemo, and glaucoma....and for people who need to gain some weight....(munchies). If it again becomes legal...and I develope a medical condition that requires this medication...... I will gladly accept that prescription....... with joy.....

I used to use this quite a bit back in the day...... to me the worst thing about it is the complacency and waste of time that it was. It did nothing for my creativity or desire to accomplish something useful. Songs I wrote...if I actually wrote a song..... which at the time sounded brilliant... the next day, listening to it again straight..... "like, man, what was I thinking?"......

Walking away from it was the best decision I made. I remember those days with fond memories, but have no desire to return to them.

The plants have come a long way from the weed we bought on the streets and grew in small gardens back 35 to 40 years ago. Plant scientists have been busy improving the potency and what we had back then was mild compared to some of the stuff on the street today. From what I understand, some of them are so powerful that they are like mild LSD.......they kick your butt righteously.

I do not encourage anyone to use this plant in an illegal fashion.  

The plant in the OP foto is now gone..... removed by the owner of the property who's views are like mine. We had a short talk, I showed him the pic....and he was not aware that his son was growing this.... the problem was solved the same day.

I can't tell if it's male or female. Or maybe they already pulled the males. Only the female will produce sweet buds. The males are pretty much useless, as are smoking the leaves. Sure they have some THC. But the big buds with the sticky crystalline subtance all over is what we are looking for.

But, Herb, go back end of September or in October and see how they look. Unless someone harvests or steals it by then.
