First off... all you guys thanks for the explosion of passion and support that has come since I mentioned my feelings for prisoners. This is the kind of thing we talked about in my class... about how things live in language not in thoughts. I have been thinking about prisoners for many many years now, but I hadn't told more than about 3 people. Those people said "That's great" and really meant it... but that did nothing for me.
I tell you guys and it's just inspiring the response. I totally understand how I can do this now.... not like what steps to take, but I see that telling people what you authenticaly want to do, they people you tell will respond with excitement and willingness to support the objective.
There are some criminologist who argue about aboloshing prisons, may be worth looking into.
I think I wasn't clear in my personal goal. I too beleive impossible is nothing... but I don't have it in me to abolish prison... or let every prisoner out. I beleive that can happen, but one of you guys will have to do that.
My goal is to give all prisoners peace of mind. So that they can be happy, peaceful, alive, and hopeful for the future... even as they sit in a shit hole of a cell in an overcrowded prison only there on some bullshit set-up anyways.
I would love for them all to get out and have another chance... I just don't see that as 'my fight'. I want to liberate the minds, hearts, and souls of all the men and women behind bars.
I have a strong feeling for inmates in our corrections system. I still write letters to various inmates, to this day. I do whatever I can for them. Glad you feel similarly about this.
That's a beautiful thing wonder. I have always thought of writing to inmates, but always get scared for one reason or another. Not scared of the inmates, but just lame and chicken-y about writing.
That was before. I'm going to start taking action now.
Thanks for the support.
Much can be done to change things, it just not gonna happen overnight and with people like jig that really intend do something extraordinary it will happen.
A lot of people have said a lot of nice things to me on RIU over my time here... but that the most awesome thing for someone to say about you. Thanks bro.
The grow looks great and it is very cool that your wife was so concerned about your girls while you were at class when she doesn't even smoke. You got a good one.
She sounded so concerned lol it sounds like my wife. I get calls at work sometimes when she checks on them during the day. Gotta love em.
Sounds like you got a good one too.
I don't know if I've already gotten into this on this journal... but I met my wife on Craigslist. Funny shit huh. She is the best. Amazing woman. She cares about my plants becuase I care about them. She's worried I'm going to find a girl who loves groing pot, and I'm going to fall in love with her. It's too funny. I am in no way into girls who smoke... but she thinks then we'd share passions. I guess she doesn't get that by her caring for my plants... we are sharing a passion. Only it means more this way becuase we are sharing it out of love... not out of common interest.
Oh man.... I am so rooting for the Raiders Jersey and a thong idea. I got $20 on a tanning session bro.
There are a lot of us married men on this site..... damn......
I really like the fact a lot of us are married. Outsiders may have this image of us pot guys being losers with sad lives or something. We're all just normal ass married guys growing some plants, and being rewarded with a hobby we love.
She keeps me on the straight and narrow though.
Isn't this the best. I know I would have made so many more bad decisions in my life without my wife by my side to stop me. And on the other side she's there to push me a bit when I won't get going.
Life is easier when you are on a team. And that's for real.
Yeah then you got the guy they let out and killed four cops he didn't even know, so what do you do? The system needs help for sure and the system probably made that guy worse idk, just some bad apples out there.
Jig the grow is lookin great! Hey i was wondering, I'm from kansas and you say your growing legal? how does that work?
Also i got more than 4 oz. dry off my first plant. I was pleasantly suprised.
Premo... I'm not trying to knock you, but what does the guy getting out and killing people have to do with anything? If you mean that no one should be let out of prison becuase they are only going to get out and kill people... then I would reject that idea.
There are baseball players right now on some drug that can't be detected. There are detectives setting people up for serious crimes. There are mothers beating the shit out of their babies. There are government leaders that are making decisions they know are horrible for the people of their country and they could care less. There are doctors perscibing medicine just becuase they get hooked up from drug companies.
So what? They will always be there. They should never stop you from doing anything you want to do in life. They should never make you give up on what you beleive in. Sure it may be disheartening to know there are foes of progress... but that should never stop us.
Power means nothing in the face of total agreement.
Power means everything in the face of NO agreement.
Awesome to hear of a successful test jigfresh! And they can only get better as they develop.
Thank you sir. I am very happy with the results of the trial. And for sure they will get more dank-ier and dank-ier.
Who can, how much, whether its just certain counties, towns, etc.
It varies county by county. I beleive San Diego county says a grower can have 24 plants. Wild huh.
Ok, so in my county this is how it works. You need to have some condition... like anxiety. You have to have seen a doctor, or accupunterist, or herbalist, even chiropractor for that condtion. You bring a paper from that visit to a MJ doctor. All the MJ doctors do is look at you and ask you if MJ helps you with your condition. You say it does and they give you a reccomendation to have medical access. You pay about $100 (if you pay $150 it's too much).
Now, that card you get is just between you and that mj doctor. No paperwork with the state. There is a state id program, but I don't know about that. Anyways, with that card you can go into any co-op/ dispensary in the state and buy whatever you want. I think the limit is 4 oz.
Also, you are allowed to grow 6 mature plants (and I think 6 immature at the same time). Immature means non flowering and below 1 foot tall.
I think you are only allowed to posses 8 oz of dried bud at a time. It get grey real quick... when I harvest I will have like 4 pounds wet of herb. That is ok I guess. It's ok to be drying and curing becuase it's considered to be being processed. However as soon as it's processed (when exactly that is - is a grey area)... I can only have 8 oz. So I have to by law take it to a co-op and donate it. But it's all weird becuase I'm not allowed to transport over 8 oz of herb. And even if I did I would still pocess more at home.
And then when it comes time to donate/ get reimbursed for it from a co-op... you can't declare the money on your taxes becuase it's illegal... but then it's illegal not to report it... so another weird grey area.
One last thing. If my wife had a card, and she gave me her caregiver rights... then she couldn't grow... but I can grow her 6 plants for her. There are actually commercial growers (and small guys like me)... that will pay people in herb, like an ounce a month, for their caregiver rights. So the growers can grow like 300 plants legally becuase they have so many peoples rights.
SO you just took some samples? Not chopped yet?
Chop will happen around Christmas and continue till around Jan 10.
Can't wait to try it out. You should clip a branch soon and let it dry and give it a short cure for when you make the trip down.
I just may do that my friend. You would be so lucky, haha.
Kinda like, you are what you eat! Which would make me a big ganja plant
Haha... that's funny bro. I guess I would be a ganja plant with some characteristics of a turkey... wearing cap'n crunches sailor hat. And I would smell like tofu.
I'll try harder next time i promise.Jig you just couldnt wait could you?I dont blame you,So the sulphur spray had no effect on the taste i'm hoping.
I was just giving you a hard time. I don't think anyone's going to get offended on this thread. It's all love here and we all know it. We's growing trees, loving our wives, and saving the world all at the same time, haha.
And no... there was absolutely no sulphur taste/ flavor. I hadn't thought about it, but I'm glad there wasn't.
I'm thinking now, I should have probably rinsed the plants off with water to get that residue off, but I think that would have made the buds either mold... or let the powdery mildew come back. I hope I'm not fucking up and smoking sulphur.
We'll see. Worst comes to worst I can water cure and get everything off them.
Thankd for all the good vibes guys.
.Although it would be nice not to be worried about getting busted for growing.In time, In time
