Well I'm still doing something wrong with this new fangled interweb thing and youtube but this is Wildwood Weed - Jim Stafford

Funny

In the 70s my friends and I all had our own "Crops".
Its a weed, doesn't need a lot of 'farming'.

There's no such thing. A weed is a man made word, and simply refers to a plant growing in the 'wrong' place

LOL, weed was what we farmers called it.
WE (as teenagers) protected and nurtured our 'crop' but it was always weed.
Some of them grew really huge.
LOL, harvest time was always intereestng.
But then, you might be aware of the significance of spending some time in the back 40.
Mine were on the treeline, most were taller than me and had buds the size of my palm.
Nothing special done...just let them grow.
But hey, we got $20 an ounce and that was a good year.
Back then, a doobie was $0.50 and everyone was smoking something.

What's a back 40?

I think he talk about 40 acres of farmland...back 40 south 40 etc

People have went bat *** crazy trimming weed. It is a very meticulous process that is above a lot of people's pay grade, also there is a lot involved. It is an easy plant to grow. But very difficult to grow correctly. If you grow indoors, over time, you will spend north of 80k in equipment before you get the proper set up, then there is the 2000$ electric bills, with no guarantee that you will be successful. It is art and science co.bined and there are many things that you simply can't control. For example you cannot eliminate mites, you control thier population. you are not growing petunias. It is a professional grade undertaking. If you grow outdoors. They can easily morph into male plants, and are subject to a lot more diseases to name just two problems. Then there is the smell. I have 5000$ in filters which I replace every two years. If someone can smell the plants, you are in violation of the law and for good reason.

Shoot 80k
Dude you must have a warehouse
I managed to escape the dreaded spider mites
Mould and humidity were trickier
People make it sound hard
But your average 5 year old could grow ganja
Some of them there ganja plants are tougher than Mike Tyson

Different ideas
Possible issues to look out for.
Start up costs.
Profit & Loss possibilities.

Yes, every post here, has been very helpful.

Haha all language is man made. The Bible and all books written by man. The only true universal language is math and science also described and explained in man made words taking centuries to build each steps getting to where we are now. From beginning with the caveman and pictographs. There are words that differ in meaning and simply have multiple meanings. Hence texting and print can become misconstrued or take on all new meaning through the eyes of an individual.
Marijuana weed gange thc refer 420 so on and so forth

What about Enochian?

Okay so then non man-made might as well bring in dog elephant cat monkey language

Well not really, Enochian isn't an animal language is it.

I don't know never had the chance to examine one. To find their molecular make up or to seek a DNA sequence to determine whether an angel is an animal of God or even eligible for biological classification. Have you?

Farming tips lol in Enochian anyone go?? Okay English and man languages okay too and go

I have a guy kind of "on staff", he's an older gentleman about 66/7 who just moved back here from Oregon. He's been doing this for many years; I've used a lot of his product for the past several and it's as good as it get's.

Was there some specific thing you wanted to know?

This man will know the answer......

1600-1890s
American production of hemp was encouraged by the government in the 17th century for the production of rope, sails, and clothing. (Marijuana is the mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves that comes from the hemp plant.)

In 1619 the Virginia Assembly passed legislation requiring every farmer to grow hemp. Hemp was allowed to be exchanged as legal tender in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland.

Domestic production flourished until after the Civil War, when imports and other domestic materials replaced hemp for many purposes. In the late nineteenth century, marijuana became a popular ingredient in many medicinal products and was sold openly in public pharmacies.

During the 19th century, hashish use became a fad in France and also, to some extent, in the U.S.

1906
Pure Food and Drug Act
Required labeling of any cannabis contained in over-the-counter remedies.

1900 - 20s
Mexican immigrants introduce recreational use of marijuana leaf
After the Mexican Revolution of 1910, Mexican immigrants flooded into the U.S., introducing to American culture the recreational use of marijuana. The drug became associated with the immigrants, and the fear and prejudice about the Spanish-speaking newcomers became associated with marijuana. Anti-drug campaigners warned against the encroaching "Marijuana Menace," and terrible crimes were attributed to marijuana and the Mexicans who used it.

1930s
Fear of marijuana
During the Great Depression, massive unemployment increased public resentment and fear of Mexican immigrants, escalating public and governmental concern about the problem of marijuana. This instigated a flurry of research which linked the use of marijuana with violence, crime and other socially deviant behaviors, primarily committed by "racially inferior" or underclass communities. By 1931, 29 states had outlawed marijuana.

1930
Creation of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN)
Harry J. Anslinger was the first Commissioner of the FBN and remained in that post until 1962.

1932
Uniform State Narcotic Act
Concern about the rising use of marijuana and research linking its use with crime and other social problems created pressure on the federal government to take action. Rather than promoting federal legislation, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics strongly encouraged state governments to accept responsibility for control of the problem by adopting the Uniform State Narcotic Act.

1936
"Reefer Madness"
Propaganda film "Reefer Madness" was produced by the French director, Louis Gasnier.

The Motion Pictures Association of America, composed of the major Hollywood studios, banned the showing of any narcotics in films.

1937
Marijuana Tax Act
After a lurid national propaganda campaign against the "evil weed," Congress passed the Marijuana Tax Act. The statute effectively criminalized marijuana, restricting possession of the drug to individuals who paid an excise tax for certain authorized medical and industrial uses.

1944
La Guardia Report finds marijuana less dangerous
New York Academy of Medicine issued an extensively researched report declaring that, contrary to earlier research and popular belief, use of marijuana did not induce violence, insanity or sex crimes, or lead to addiction or other drug use.

1940s
"Hemp for Victory"
During World War II, imports of hemp and other materials crucial for producing marine cordage, parachutes, and other military necessities became scarce. In response the U.S. Department of Agriculture launched its "Hemp for Victory" program, encouraging farmers to plant hemp by giving out seeds and granting draft deferments to those who would stay home and grow hemp. By 1943 American farmers registered in the program harvested 375,000 acres of hemp.

1951-56
Stricter Sentencing Laws
Enactment of federal laws (Boggs Act, 1952; Narcotics Control Act, 1956) which set mandatory sentences for drug-related offenses, including marijuana.

A first-offense marijuana possession carried a minimum sentence of 2-10 years with a fine of up to $20,000.

1960s
Marijuana use popular in counterculture

A changing political and cultural climate was reflected in more lenient attitudes towards marijuana. Use of the drug became widespread in the white upper middle class. Reports commissioned by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson found that marijuana use did not induce violence nor lead to use of heavier drugs. Policy towards marijuana began to involve considerations of treatment as well as criminal penalties.

1968
Creation of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs
This was a merger of FBN and the Bureau of Dangerous Drugs of the Food and Drug Administration.

1970
Repeal of most mandatory minimum sentences
Congress repealed most of the mandatory penalties for drug-related offenses. It was widely acknowledged that the mandatory minimum sentences of the 1950s had done nothing to eliminate the drug culture that embraced marijuana use throughout the 60s, and that the minimum sentences imposed were often unduly harsh.

Marijuana differentiated from other drugs

The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act categorized marijuana separately from other narcotics and eliminated mandatory federal sentences for possession of small amounts.

National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) founded

1972
Shafer Commission
The bipartisan Shafer Commission, appointed by President Nixon at the direction of Congress, considered laws regarding marijuana and determined that personal use of marijuana should be decriminalized. Nixon rejected the recommendation, but over the course of the 1970s, eleven states decriminalized marijuana and most others reduced their penalties.

1973
Creation of the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
Merger of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNND) and the Office of Drug Abuse Law Enforcement (ODALE).

1974
High Times founded

1976
Beginning of parents' movement against marijuana
A nationwide movement emerged of conservative parents' groups lobbying for stricter regulation of marijuana and the prevention of drug use by teenagers. Some of these groups became quite powerful and, with the support of the DEA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), were instrumental in affecting public attitudes which led to the 1980s War on Drugs

1986
Anti-Drug Abuse Act - Mandatory Sentences
President Reagan signed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, instituting mandatory sentences for drug-related crimes. In conjunction with the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, the new law raised federal penalties for marijuana possession and dealing, basing the penalties on the amount of the drug involved. Possession of 100 marijuana plants received the same penalty as possession of 100 grams of heroin. A later amendment to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act established a "three strikes and you're out" policy, requiring life sentences for repeat drug offenders, and providing for the death penalty for "drug kingpins."

1989
Bush's War on Drugs
President George Bush declares a new War on Drugs in a nationally televised speech.

1996
Medical Use Legalized in California
California voters passed Proposition 215 allowing for the sale and medical use of marijuana for patients with AIDS, cancer, and other serious and painful diseases. This law stands in tension with federal laws prohibiting possession of marijuana.

not really. You are allowed 72 plants in Mich. By the time u realise you need a separate electrical service, try mini splits and find out that they plug up from the oil in the air, buy all your lights at 800.00 each, put in a central air system which is zoned, set up a drying room with commercial dehumidifiers, ect ect it is an 80 k project. Want to make a small fortune growing weed? Start with a large fortune. There is a learning curve everyone goes through and it costs about 80k

Definitely the worst part
