Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Update on Hemp

Railroad rights-of-way around here have quite a bit of wild/feral hemp growing on them. By Valley, NE, the hemp growing along the UPRR ROW looks to be in the 6' to 10' range.

Wasn't there a battle of the Bales in Lexington MO? It wasn't hay bales boys. 'Twas hemp. That's as far back as the Civil War. Been grown in Misery for a loooong time. Be Well, Rusty.

Recreational pot is legal here. Everyone and his stoned brother jumped in. A couple months ago there was an article about so many growers going broke...

Just tears me up.....NOT!

Its been growing along the South Branch of the Potomac in WV since WWII.
Seeds spread from farmers fields and washed downstream. If you mess with it you break the law. Rumor has it you would get sick before you got high from it.

Honestly, if the local growers haven't went along there and planted some good
stuff among the feral plants, they are dumber than I think. Having seen some
of the things they come up with, many aren't dumb. Just stoned.

Heck, a notorious local guy got caught with close to 2k plants.
While they were searching his home, someone wondered about the backhoe
with the bucket up in the air in the driveway.
They lowered it, and found where he nursed the little plants.
In the driveway, beside a busy road.
Lower the bucket in the evening,
water, weed, whatever.
Run it back up.
Cars driving by 30 feet away.
He had almost 200 seedlings in there.

How weird,I just checked into my favorite motel in Ely, Nv. and the mgr. told me that 1/2 their rooms were being rented by Australians brought in to start a large hemp operation on what was a hay farm north of Lajes Junction on Hwy 93. She is a funny person, said that the workers were either Australians or from Sweden, and that the owner was an indian but not a real indian. She is Shoshone

Weasel Rus, what is the real story? That may be the best Elk depredation tag in the state.

Bet you have some good river bottom alfalfa ground that would really grow this stuff...

Probably draw a different class of varmints...

Best way to kill the market, and illegal trade, is to make it a legal garden crop. Want to grow it? Knock it out.

Dude you gotta know I was being sarcastic. We're buried in hemp down here in southern Oregon.

Sounds like the next “emu/ostrich” fad, to me. Guess we’ll see...

I was gonna clean my room, but then I got high.

Square bail that schit and torch it. What the hell.

Just a few ago, I was driving on Hy-97 North of Grass Valley, OR I came across a nice Hemp field. It's a nice color green. Smells like MJ (skunk)
Wish all those farmers the best.

Seafire,

your story reminds me of a friend from the neighborhood back in the HS days of the early 70's.

He had relatives in Kansas, went back to visit, saw the ditch weed and gathered bags of it to fill his Volkswagon bug to the brim.

Brought it back to San Diego and sold it to the sailors when they got out of NTC and went to Ocean and Mission beaches.

One could smoke a baggie full and not get high.

Merrill OR a few weeks back, probably a good quarter section:



Funny thing, when it was only a foot high or so and we drove by it the first time, I did a double take and told my wife "That's pot". She said "are you sure". I said "That's f'n marijuana!".

Yes, LOL, but on a serious note, I wont invest in ANYTHING that will add to the demise of this great nation, money means jack dogchit squat to me.

I drive by Virginia's largest Hemp crop coming to and from work daily.
It is being grown/farmed by Matt Hagan[drag racer] who happens to be from here and also has a large local beef farm here.

Couple of weeks back they had to destroy aprox 1/6 of the crop due to high THC levels.

A week or two before that as they were clearing more overgrown land[burning brush] and they left an excavator too close and it burned that night, still sitting beside the interstate in the field.

One evening last week as I went by a plume of thick white smoke was rolling out of the building/barn they are using.

I suppose it's been a learning experience.
