  • Islander,

    That banner was neat! And sweet! And very very cunning-

    Yes, I have to suck on my sticky stinky skunk. That alone is enough to make a man psychotic, not even knowing an organic gardener.

    How about this scary story I heard from a Gro shop person: just last month a small-scale indoor grower without much of an IQ decided to get rid of the bugs on his almost ripe buds by spraying then with fly-spray!!!

    "They didn't look too good after that" he said. Well, duh!

    And what did he do with his harvest? Sold it, of course!

    Do you know who grows your smoke????

    I'm pretty sure it was telling me to buy chocolate fish!

    So that's why I keep looking for something sweet. Good thing my sweetie is around. :)

    I do. He would never dream of such sacrilege - his only insecticide is a tiny pair of scissors.

    Of course, the gangs have been "souping up" their product using flyspray for years, so... some people wouldn't even notice the difference.

  • BenWilson,

    Can I score some stephen "four leaf" clover? I heard the right flyspray takes you to the moon.

  • Sofie Bribiesca,

    Like any plants surely the standard "wait 3 days before one can consume",( and this message can be on some pretty powerful type insecticides) would be sufficient to render the plant back in a smokable state. Not that I would consider it. :)

    Bro, just walk around until you find a tinny house (clearly indicated by a pair of shoes tied together by the laces and slung over the powerlines, right?).

    Truthfully, though... I'd give it a miss...

  • Sam F,

    Opportune time to bump this thread given last night's news:

    A national indoor gardening chain would not have turned a profit if it hadn't been knowingly supplying equipment and advice to cannabis growers, police say.

    Directors, managers and staff from the 16 Switched On Gardener stores - which are advertised on national television - around the country have been arrested and charged as part of Operation Lime which targeted businesses responsible for the commercial sale of equipment used to grow cannabis.

    The Press had a story including this:

    Police Deputy Commissioner Rob Pope said yesterday Operation Lime would "break the cornerstone of the illicit cannabis-cultivation industry".

    "Cannabis is the most abused controlled drug in New Zealand. The harm that this drug causes New Zealand communities can be conservatively estimated at $430 million a year. It hurts every community in every part of the country."

    An interesting time for an investigation of this kind to come to a high-profile end, given the renewed debate about alcohol, which causes harm in the region of $1-4 billion a year, including around $650 million in public health costs alone (according to estimates by Brian Easton from 2002, cited by ALAC's website). But heaven forbid we should dare to even place an increased tax burden on this dynamic industry.

  • Sam F,

    Just too late for me to edit into my last comment: Danyl McLauchlan's much more elegant effort.
