I could set it up if no one else wants to.

nan, glad to have you!! would love to pick your brain about making the salves. i haven't really looked much into that but it didn't look terribly hard.

farmfree, i wish i could help ya.

There's a social group already going...it's called the ladies of icmag...I sent you an invite....only the members that are invited to the group can read the posts and the super mods so it's pretty private, I forget that it's there, haven't posted there in along time but feel free to do so and let me know who else would like to join and ill send an invite
Thanks for reminding me about it ladyluck 😎

This is good news. I am still learning my way around the site and seeing how things work. There are some amazing work by the ladies here (still miss Medjool) Things have changed while I was gone. Mrs. Babba, I would like to be part of this too if you think it OK. I know I don't have many posts yet.

A girl joins ICM, writes 6 posts. One of those is "hey girl power let's shit all over the guys and show em they ain't nuttin" kind of threads, believed by the poster to be a rally cry for women all over the globe.

How nice.

Sounds like a playground pickup challenge. Sorry but it just does.

I agree with customized forums, but not necessarily broken down by sex. Men are not bigger asshats than women. Women are not more immature than men. Both men and women are capable of grandiose image crafting of their cannabis superiority over all other farmers. BOTH are capable and BOTH engage in booby strutting ass displays in equal measure (truth be discovered). Know what kind of breakdown I'd like ? AGE !

Oh yeah ...................... AGE !!!!!!!

You'd be surprised how many members "turn off" as soon as they discover a poster is 25 and under. Or that magical mulligan of maturity that occurs between 25 and 30. Those younger than this are already mad. Those older, get it.

30 and up - appreciate that growing cannabis is not a "grow war" where you must grab accolades and destroy your "competition".

30 and down ............ well .................

As with everything in life there are exceptions - there are people younger than 30 who actually draw others in with their maturity, knowledge, and generosity in sharing it. There are also people older than 30 who are internally 12 trapped in an aging sagging body they can't afford to facelift.

GENERALLY - it is the woman under 30 who springs to action in a campaign to unify other women and inject them with the attitude that men deserve some kind of humbling for their arrogant (age related) attitudes about women growers.

Girl power ? Nah ...... no thanks. Why ? Because it's stupid. Girls have been growing the ganja LONGER than men as they were the world's first farmers. Men still hunted. Early agriculture was like cleaning toilets - women's work. Anyone who thinks guys grow better because they're guys? Especially a GIRL who believes that ? COME ON !

I'm here to bond with other growers. I don't care if you're a girl, guy, hermie, or yet to be determined. If you're not an asshat I'm already liking you.

I just got back in here myself after a long stretch. Yes GirlPower sounds like a gratuitous feminine product come-on to me a bit. But, it got us talking right?

FWIW I had a conversation with my paternal grandfather 10 years ago, just before he passed about my gardening. He told me his mother grew cannabis in her herb garden for the family needs before it was outlawed. When it was outlawed she dutifully chopped it down and fed her seed to the birds. She would not risk exposing her family to prosecution no matter her feelings about the laws and her knowledge it was wrong.

You are right in that, traditionally women were the ones who gathered and planted while men hunted. It is my personal opinion it changed to "men's work" when there was profit to be taken. You can see that repeated in the case of cooking, healing skills, and so on.

Much of cannabis cultivation practices are from black market pressures to conceal, maximize quick production for weight and profit. So much has been remedied for the health of the plant and it's users these past few years by the nurturing and purposeful work and community of places like this.

Nurturing and the growing of plants and people has been the traditional role of women. It is wonderful to see it practiced and appreciated by both sexes and all ages now with the cultivation and use of cannabis.

In my own life I have to bust my men when they use their habits of male chauvinism as they do me for my female chauvinism. Habits I have learned and are unaware of.

It is here in this exchange with the women AND MEN who are working through this that I would like to see common community for my personal development and cannabis appreciation and education. I felt that was where this thread might head so chimed in.

I do think it is a gender issue. Only because any of us over the age of 30 are carrying a lot of gender stereotype baggage that needs to be unpacked.

In real life men have been helpful and generally nice for the most part. The forum seems to have a different dynamic for some reason. It's nice knowing there are a few ladies on here as not all of them have obvious names like us. I would prefer it be like real life but online forums seem to bring out personalities more than others. It has nothing to do with age. Get on here and talk some more. I'm sure you'll get it. I thought it was obvious just by lurking.
