I know this is digging deep in the archives for this subject but Im getting obsessed with building a walking staff out of a marijuana stalk as my knees and back are getting worse and worse. Unfortunately its degenerative and no practicable surgery is available. Ive seen the ones at strain canes but at $250 a pop its out of my reach. So I want to build me own. I have my fingers crossed for a possible gift of one in the future!
Somebody said above many can be found in Kansas 8 ft tall. That is true. Actually many of those are 12 foot tall or more late in the year but they are usually pretty twisted if I remeber right. I rode up there on a back of a Harley and filled a army duffle bag with all I could stuff in it to sell as a young man. It was total bunk. We glued 12 JOB 1.5 sized papers together and make a Cheech and Chong joint and all we would get was a headache. u8nloaded the whole 60 lbs to some brothers in North Tulsa for $300 Im sure they made a killing with it.
Go to Sedan Kansas to the railroad tracks just past town. Walk about a mile to the west and you will see them in the ditch along the tracks full of seeds.. Wild hemp with virtually no THC. But I havent been up there in 26-27 years. But watch out for those good ole boys with flashing lights. These days they see a out of state tag parked along the RR tracks they know whats up and they will be waiting for you when you arrive at you car and its off to the slammer you go with enough of worthless crap to send you away for a while.
