kayo Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 "Even successful incineration had its drawbacks. "A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those (forests) did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hillier said dryly. One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That ###### marijuana'."" I bet that soldier was kerryd!

Chang_paarp Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 10 feet high? I didn't think it grew that high! Or at least it didn't when I grew it! I have seen it over 5 metres in places. Or so the press reports said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 that's cos you would smoke it before it develops, me legal fibre... Er, that's true, that is. You have the measure of me! I used to chop it up and force dry it in a radiator (developed a nice little technique) smokeable within 30 mins. That and a bottle of tequila and I was a happy man. Boy, times have changed!!! now I'm just dull... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
