If you believe marijuana plant tending is a lost art, read what recently happened in Chester County, S.C.
Personally, I was always afraid of marijuana--even in its hey day of the 60s, 70s and early 80s. Grass everywhere, it seemed. At parties, on university-sponsored trips in vans I took during graduate school, sprouting up in basements.
The weed isn't dead--by a long shot.
Read about it in the headline link above.

grass, weed, maryjane, mj, or whatever the lingo of the day might be, will remain a part of our subculture for a long time to come.
response?
think of all that taxable income if federally regulated.
think of the tax dollars saved with fewer inmates serving time in jail.
think of agricultural farms that would need fewer subsidies.
think green for hemp makes for good cloth and contains none of the chemicals that would alter one's mental state but is not used due to its association.
i think and i wonder just how different the management of marijuana would be from that of alcohol and nicotine products?
Thanks again for reading my blog, mainahwoman, and, as usual, you stimulate thinking about the topic at hand.
I believe, from your words, that you might be borderline pro-legalization of grass.
Am I right?
I believe the United States should get out of the tobacco and alcohol business for they far more insidious and addictive than marijuana.
Since our country's independence was financed on the tobacco leaf and prohibition failed miserably, I don't see this as a possibility.
So why not finance out current debts on the pot leaf? The market is already established and advertising campaigns wouldn't be difficult to conceptualize, "grass grows greener in America."
I just read an article in Newsweek that explains how weeds love warmer climate temperatures as it acts like an aphrodisiac encouraging greater pollen output. I'm reminded of an 80's song whose chorus chants, "things that make you go hmmm."
I heard a comment the other day that asked how do you wipe out the mob, organized crime of any sort and the drug cartel in one motion? The answer was to legalize and regulate all drugs.
That made me think. Where would David Chase get his inspiration for the Soprano’s? Oh, wait…that season’s coming to an end.
Wise words, mainah woman. Maybe you could be a consultant for legalizing the sale of MJ.
And yes, "The Sopranos" season is over (or fast coming to a fricking close.)
"Fricking," incidentally, is Sopranoese for the F word.
Love that show and hate that it's ending.
There's an important detail missing in the story. They got the value from the number of plants times the street value, BUT
"The plants seized Thursday are worth about $2,000 each fully grown, Thompson said. Altogether, the pot was worth about $700,000," it says.
Very few of the plants were fully grown. Most were JUST sprouting.
Street value? Nil.
