@jeffowski i used to do private tutoring of calculus and differential equations when i was younger. maybe not responsible, but 3 of my students are professional engineers and one of them called me up years later to tell me that i taught them how to think about math. anyone who thinks weed makes me stupider or lazier hasn't tried weed or they're revealing their own character.

@mousey --

I'm trying to figure out how to get at all the "disposed" cannabis plants after harvesting so that I can make full hemp rope for BDSM Bondage rope, which is all imported from outside the United States currently.

Here in Colorado, after a grow harvest, the rest of the plant must be destroyed instead of used or recycled in some way.

@SlicerDicer --

"Industrial Hemp Faces Challenges In Texas:
A Texas A&M AgriLife Extension agronomist says scientists are still determining varieties and management practices suitable for the state's growing conditions."

The title makes my point.

Texas is NOT remotely similar to NATIVE, WILD growing cannabis/hemp.

You can literally spread poppies and hemp in places similar to Afghanistan and they will grow without any external help at all.

@SlicerDicer -- But you are overlooking the fact that there have been large hemp crops in the United States up through to the 1930's before Federal restrictions and eventual prohibition.

The fact that TEXAS can't grow hemp doesn't mean that other parts of the US can't.

As a former prohibition era grower, I can fully attest that growing with the heat and humidity in Texas, even indoors, is a lot harder than growing in Colorado with much milder temps and dry air (even indoors).

CONT ->

@SlicerDicer -- LoL, I grew up in rural Texas among the cattle ranches of central Texas. If you know Texas, you know that it is different in each part. Sea to desert, to mountains to plains, to swamps to forests. Other than the tundra, is spans virtually all the climates.
I'm seriously questioning now if you're just a troll claiming to be a farmer or even an actual Texan.

@SlicerDicer -- LMAO...

Now I KNOW that it's all a big case of Dunning-Kruger.

I've actually grown cannabis and hemp in Colorado and Oklahoma. I'm asking for articles that could provide some backup to the claims you made and you send easily searchable stuff that I'm already aware of and with issues that have been solved. This is why I keep asking for NEW information.

Stick to your keyboard warrior shit and keep to your code.

@SlicerDicer -- Because I did not make any claims that needed backing up.

@SlicerDicer @feld -- Lots of claims that it can't happen when there is a lot of evidence that it actually is happening.

You've also only cited Texas A&M articles.

Minnesota hemp farming is going strong.
Oklahoma hemp farming is going strong.

You keep saying that it isn't happening or that there are issues, but I'm seeing it actually happening.

What I'm seeing is TEXAS can't do it.

@SlicerDicer -- LMAO... I'm really getting the vibe that you actually have no research and you're just grabbing the first links in your own google search and posting it.

And when I'm asking for newer information, you then cite an even older article.

Thanks for revealing yourself.

@Magooish -- I'm a sufferer of extreme depression and anxiety. I went off all my meds in 2013 so that I could reset and found that cannabis worked great. It's been eleven years and am a constant consumer with no "High" at all.

@jeffowski everyone is different and we all prefer conformity, right? But imagine the peace we’d have in this world if we understood that what people do to create the best optimum life for themselves ( without harming others) is what we should encourage.
I’d never be productive smoking or ingesting weed even occasionally. But I am 1000% ok with anyone who needs/wants to for themselves.

@DanadasGrau
*Why I wish I could smoke/vape cannabis at social gatherings instead of drinking (to deal with my extreme social anxiety).

@JenWojcik @jeffowski

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B... :>

@Ulzana and the worst of all: you are still missing opportunities and don't even notice! like you had the chance to mark this as satire. You didn't. Instead you risk to trigger the shit out of some people, not caring that they might get heart attacks. *fatal* heart attacks. because of you. because of your former addiction. just another proof how dangerous Marijuana is: It kills innocent people around you even long after your consumption!

@GatekeepKen -- I've been saying that many of the cannabis legalization efforts are DESIGNED TO FAIL.
The people against it couldn't stop it so they set up rules that make it impossible to make a profit, impossible for consumers to afford it, etc.
And the major issue is that once the vote for legalization happens, the "cannabis voter" goes away and doesn't participate again, making this process easier for prohibitionists to make sure it is unsustainable and unprofitable.

@jeffowski
the problem here is Gov. Bumpkin. He put a block on the law that legalized it. How the fuck can he change the law. Dealers have left and closed up shpos they bet their lives on.

@log -- This is why I apologized. I thought you were trolling a bit and snapped back. Thank you for being a person that is open to growth. Please also reach out and keep me in line if something I post is offensive AND false.
I am bombastic on purpose on specific topics, but I NEVER want to be cruel or provide information that is NOT FACTUAL.
I expect my friends to keep me to a higher standard, and I am glad my friends try to improve and be better too.
