This is going back a few years to when it was legal in the UK to buy Magic Mushrooms.. As long as they were wet.. Was illegal to dry them..

I walked in my local Grow shop to find the old hippie dude who owned the place hiding out the back of the shop..

He told me to " Beware of the Hawaiian Mushrooms! "

I bought a load from his son after getting my grow bits..

They're not exactly staffed with the 'best & brightest' by any definition......

Yeah I don't go to grow shops anymore due to them being morons lol. If you live in California or any med friendly state and still can't use the word marijuana in the store then I wouldn't spend my cash there ever.

Now my story isn't about hydro shops but still along the same lines of stupid folks. There was a great deal on some smoke in my area ( yes I know I grow and don't need it but wanted to test out the smoke ) and when the delivery service driver got here I got to chatting with him etc and before he left I asked if they have any clones available ( I noticed on their weedmaps menu that clones were available ) which he responded to, "no we don't have clones but we do have brownies and tinctures." I asked if he knew what clones were which he then responded back with, "oh yeah of course but right now all we have for edibles are brownies and tinctures".

I will NOT be calling those morons back for anything

Having clones delivered is breaking rules #1 & #2

I have one from the other side of the counter. Used to run a grow shop for many years. Saw and heard all sorts of stuff that just blew me away.

One day 3 guys come in the store, obviously wasted to the bone and all puffy eyed. They huddled together and kept gravitating to a display of CO2 generators. The checked out this one big Green Air gennie and whispered intensely. They pointed to the propane inlet connector, whispered and mumbled a lot more. Then they kind of noticed I was there, leaning on the counter and smiling at them. That kind of freaked them out and they hurried to another part of the store and went back to whispering. I could hear them talking about "You ask him - no YOU ask him..." and so on. One of them finally got up the guts to ask:

[pointing at CO2 generator]
Him: What's that?

Me: Thats a CO2 generator. Its like a big open flame heater, uses propane to generate CO2 in a garden.

Him: Oh. Ok. Cool.

[back to whispering and mumbling between themselves]

Him: How much does it cost?

Me: Its about $250, but you have to supply the propane or natural gas.

Him: Oh - it needs gas?

Me: Yes, it burns gas and make CO2 for plants.

Him: Oh. Ok.

[back to whispering and mumbling between themselves]

Him: Ok, we want to buy it.

Me: Uhm... Ok, what size garden do you have?

Him: Huh? Its for a garden??!?!?!

Me: Yes, it is for an indoor garden or greenhouse.

[back to whispering and mumbling between themselves]

Him: But where do you attach the whippets?

Me: Whippets?

Him: Nitrous dude, how to you fill the whippets?

I had to explain to them that a CO2 generator was not used to fill nitrous oxide bottles. They give me the look like "this guy doesn't know what he's talking about", laughed and wandered out of the store.

Felt like telling them to hook it to propane, light it, and suck real hard.
