Is there anyone else on here that likes to smoke weed?

On all the threads I've seen that have mention cannabis it usually made out like the worse thing ever.

I'm a bit of a stoner tbh and just wondered if there is any others out there? I always see threads with people sharing what they drinking so thought I'd give it a go!

Not sure how this will go on here soo 🤞

It's this one for anyone interested, it works really well but I hear you can't let it run out of battery or it'll never start again!

Only loosers take drugs.

loosers :)

Ok Looser!

Fun fact - Did you know the UK is the biggest grower of medical marijuana in the WORLD!!! And former PM Theresa May's husbands company is the largest producer of medical marijuana in Europe?

Though medical marijuana can keep the Mays in a very comfortable lifestyle, we can't access any of it in UK because the "law says so" and so it is all exported to lucky citizens of other countries who are more trusted and less controlled by their governments.

Also I may be grumpy as I have had no weed now for 2 months.

UK growers are some of the best in the world. Not something you can necessarily put on your cv, admittedly.

@Ylfa we are growing a couple outdoors this year 😁 got a poly tunnel at an allotment and only going to put 2 plants and then rest tomatoes..

A bit concerned about the smell but it's out the way and only neighbour is a builders yard where I've smelt it being smoked..

If I had my own secluded garden I'd definetly pop a plant amongst the flower borders! Would love to grow hemp too for the seeds and to dry for tea but I think it would possible just attract attention if noticed.

@TheClitterati how crazy is that about Teresa May's husband! It is the stuff conspiricies are made of 😂

I love sharing this fact with people who are so anti and claim its 'dangerous'

It would be a way to grow employment and generate taxes if legalised. Probably a good time to do it if we are going into this predicted recession after all this... But sadly I just don't see our governments soing it any time soon!

TheClitterati · 29/04/2020 15:19

could be a conspiracy going on there

Sadly my garden is very overlooked or I'd get a plant of 2 in there.

Loving the look of JudyGemstone's vape. I have a largeish pyramid shaped one but its not subtle at all so I don't use it anymore. Its hidden in the garage :)

JudyGemstone · 29/04/2020 15:23

My friend has a large pyramid one, think it's called the volcano, I had a go on one when I was last in Amsterdam - I believe they retail at around £350 so bit out of my price range!

Also you want a nice portable one you can take to the park (after lockdown 🙄)

JudyGemstone · 29/04/2020 15:25

Also, my dealer is female - bud comes directly from Amsterdam where it's grown so minimal street gang involvement, would prefer to grow my own ideally though.

Got some nice stardawg at the minute 👌🏼

MrsWeebles · 29/04/2020 15:34

Here In Canada when you go to purchase pot at the store the various strains being sold all have descriptors of their likely effects and THC levels. I personally have never shopped at such a store but friends who DO buy it legally have described the set-up to me. So if you want some pot to mellow you out you can get exactly that, if you want something to zing you up and make you clean your house like a cleaning demon you can purchase the appropriate product to achieve that result.It seems eminently sensible to me.

Ylfa · 29/04/2020 15:34

Exciting @Lemonnhoney !! Looking forward to comparing notes as they grow 😀

A farmer I know is taking part in this: www.agri-tech-e.co.uk/event/introduction-to-hemp/ from farmer to pharma, should be interesting

nancybotw1n · 29/04/2020 15:44

I'm a daily smoker. Pretty much since later teens. I no longer drink but that's much more recent.

Having to survive on local supply at the moment, which is ok, but not fabulous. Normally I have a supply from a grower I know with a wonderful array of breeds and something to suit every mood. Spoilt.

I'm also a perfectly normal member of society (albeit not a parent) and have a good Management job.

JudyGemstone · 29/04/2020 16:27

It's the same in Amsterdam mrsweebles, and in the US states where it's legal.

Such a shame our govt are so fucking backwards about it.

HirplesWithHaggis · 29/04/2020 23:34

I do think it's an oddity in the UK that one can purchase cannabis seeds perfectly legally, and also grow-tents, lights etc, growing medium and specialist feed, but putting them all together is a criminal offence.

Quite a few home growers - once they have the kit - also grow tomatoes and chillis. Why wouldn't you ? The same logic as growing your won cannabis. You know exactly what's gone into it. You can grow what you like. And you can avoid criminals, if you believe that selling tasteless watery balls of red as "tomatoes" is a criminal offence.

It is a shame if it causes problems for the police, but you can't really polish a turd of stupid laws.

user1471565182 · 30/04/2020 13:16

You can grow it anywhere outside (within reason and with right strain). Its a big industry in the Baltic countries, and it gets cold up those Moroccan mountains.

user1471565182 · 30/04/2020 13:18

Happy to be loose then, as you're clearly tighter wound than a duck's arse in a snowstorm.

user1471565182 · 30/04/2020 13:25

It is really satisfying slurpy, growing your own stuff. I've done it with brewing/mushrooms as well as other stuff in the past, you always learn a bit along the way and get a real sense of achievement

DNA analysis traces it's origin back to the Himalayas. One suggestion about the resinous THC is that it is an adaptation to protect the flowers from the increased UV light at altitude.

Whatever it's origins, it's certainly a contender - if not outright winner - for "plant humans have managed to spread the furthest". Both wittingly and unwittingly.

You have to wonder why our forebears decided to cultivate it before wheat.

Regardless of pharmacology, it's a fascinating plant. Unusually dioecious (like nettles). And it's the female plant that does all the work ....

thejollygargler · 30/04/2020 14:04

Seven little seedlings have popped their heads up in the greenhouse :-)

We have no near neighbours so the smell won't be an issue, just need to keep the door shut so the deer don't eat them Grin

TheUser420 · 30/04/2020 14:14

I'd hope so ... but bear in mind it can carry quite a way.

Were they all feminised seeds, or are you taking pot luck (no pun intended) ?

thejollygargler · 30/04/2020 14:40

Feminised Grin

We live halfway up a hill in the middle of the countryside - definitely not going to bother anyone. Loads of people grow it round here - we just can't get to them because of lockdown Sad

thequeenbeyondthewall · 30/04/2020 14:56

Has anyone ever tried the RSO oil?

HirplesWithHaggis · 30/04/2020 15:20

I envy you your greenhouse, thejollygargler, and congratulate you on your new babies. Grin

GoGoPowerScooter · 30/04/2020 15:33

I've found my people! Grin Trying to stop having tobacco with my weed - quit the fags a couple of years ago (still vaping though), and not found a decent alternative yet. But my Arizer arrived yesterday - just waiting for the DC to go to their dad's this weekend, and I shall definitely be trying it out! Also very envious of those with greenhouses and no close neighbours, although there's nearly always a strong smell of weed outside a house five doors away from me. Maybe I should just risk it and hope nobody notices it's coming from two houses Grin
