It's Willie's b-day and I was listening to Ol'Feron Young doing hello walls

I believe I was stoned a bit. At least I hope so.

Who got the joke? Don't go listening to any Feron Young first. HH

never had a chance to go outdoor...need some more land! yall grow on your land or you walking around others property

 

[D.D.]

Hi budman678,
Growing on my own land isn't an option here with all the air traffic, sheriff's roundup, and UNITE, but I figure state and county road right of ways are fair game.
Just have to be careful and not pick one they mow and spray.

Both the state and the county owns some unused property that can be used in my location. I just keep the number down to one plant per location.

If you can't find a south facing hillside in east KY your not looking hard enough.

Nothing like getting out at 4:30 am, walking a mile to enter the forest, climbing a hill, walking 4 more miles to find a good spot to dig a hole (or rather dig large stones out of the ground) mulching the hole with leafs and covering with stones and more leafs, then walking back.
Did I mention that it's nearly 100 F by the time I'm half way back home and my canteens empty?
Thats only the first step of preparing a site for next year... l still have to find time to work this years grow when it cools down this evening.

 

[budman678]

it is blisteringly hot out there

The trick is to beat the heat budman678,
I'm outside well before daylight headed towards my spot. I work for as many hours as I can and try and be out by noon.
Just carry plenty of drinking water. I made the mistake of not carrying enough drinking water a couple of days ago.
Do the hard stuff in the early mornings, and you can do the light work in the evenings. Thats my system to beat the heat.

Happy 4th to you all Americans!

 

[JACKBAYBEH]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!!!

It's a quiet 4th around here. Because of the drought: No fireworks, no outdoor grills....

...and it's fucking hot, outside!

Will be nice if the bill ever makes it to the ballot.

People might have to adapt the procedures used by the Med states adapted and tweaked to Ky law, petitioning to have the legislation question placed on the ballot.
It seems the elected lawmakers are going to keep tabling this bill over and over again.

 

[budman678]

anyone pull down some spectacular outdoor yields?

 

[Hank Hemp]

no

Kentucky could have been the first state to legalize if Gatewood had been elected way back when. Even if he wasnt the first to bring up the idea in Frankfort, those who had already played with the idea were still holding seats. Would have been relatively easy to get a bill into the committee with the governor backing legalization efforts.
So why did so many of my fellow toking voters let me down by not voting?
Anyone else remember all the debates in the late 1970s/early 1980s about how RJ Reynolds might decide to package up the good old Kentucky Green and how it could be as readily available as a pack of Marlboro?
But when you look at the true fault to that argument, beer is packaged similar to soda pop and is just as readily available if you have proof of age.
Could be an idea to get local tourism boards sold on the idea of having a Weedfest every year where tourists could come to buy 1 finger dime bags. They spend a bundle trying to promote tourism, but there is no real reason for people travel hundreds of miles to "enjoy your stay (we have nothing you cant find elsewhere)"

 

[budman678]

I am confident that all this talk about legalizing HEMP in ky will be the catalyst we need to begin discussions on medical marijuana. Senator Perry Clark introduced legislation in Gatewood's honor, am I wrong?

KY needs to lead the way with all the other "southern states".
