Whats up my fellow growers, looks like everybody is present and accounted for. Good.
toasted1, I'm keeping an eye on your kush She's looking fine bro. Lots of things you can do on some property like that
The only thing happening outdoor in the UK today is rain and cold.
Damn I miss Florida weather.
But I got a request from a very close friend to help set up a grow when I am home in Florida over the holidays.
It's only gonna be a 150W HPS closet grow, but that's ok...it's a grow and that is what matters.
Always growing = always learning.
Cheese and Himalayan Gold. It will match my grow I will start when I get home so I can help them out better. Will tune them into the 150W Club here also.
Are there any petitions for Medical use I need to sign when I get home?
Hey Komrade Komura, hows the law in your area when it comes to MJ? Not just the law on the books but how do the local constables act when it comes to herb?
The weather down here may be tits but the laws make it all so ugly
The law here is pretty grim on the books. MJ is classified with all the hard drugs.
However, enforcement is virtually non-existent for smokers....with one big exception:
They use a post 9-11 security statue to put lots of police in the train stations and tube stations in London. But instead of bomb sniffing dogs, they have cute spaniels that will get you busted for MJ. Major abuse of the law. So I don't take the subway or train at all when carrying.
But even then, they just take it away and send you on your way. They write down your name, but never add it to any national databases.
So compared to the US, where there are prisons for profits, cop budgets to justify, and a whole legal system to fund...compared to that...it is heaven.
However, from a practical standpoint, it is far behind California and Colorado.
No medical usage laws here AT ALL. However, several people who have gotten busted use medical as a mitigating factor and get much more lenient treatment.
The only way you are going to jail here for MJ is to be a BIG TIME grower. They will just fine you over and over...and make you attend state sponsored counselling.
Except in my case, if I ever get caught I will be thrown out of the country and sent back to post-Bush America. So I must be more cautious than most here.
Smoking in public is not tolerated. But in your own home...if a neighbour reports your smoking...the cops will ask them if you are doing anything harmful to the neighbour. They won't even come around.
The British are basically very reasonable and realise that there are REAL crimes to deal with.
Our buddy Dopefiend has a cool podcast every week that keeps up to date on the latest law changes everywhere. Worth a listen...if just for that..or to see what strain he is smoking during the show.
In summary.....much, much better than Florida, worse than California. More like Mississippi (hahaha, that's true...check out their laws).
But beware of the closed-circuit TV cameras (CCTV)...they are everywhere. In one place I lived I would be on CCTV the moment I stepped out of my front door every morning.
So every Wednesday I would walk up to the camera and give it the middle finger salute...always with a big smile.
They use it for solving crimes after the fact, but I have a large problem with living in a surveillance society. Reminds me too much of my visits to communist countries.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE EVADED THE LAW UP TILL THIS POINT. I COMEND YOU. BUT PLEASE KEEP BEING CAUSES AND NEVER LET YOUR GAURD DOWN. YOU ARE WRONG WHEN IT COMES TO THE PENALTIES AND SENTECES HANDED DOWN IN THIS STATE. IT DOESNT TAKE BUT ONCE TO GET CAUGHT AND YEARS TO GET OUT OF THE TROUBLE THE LAWS HERE BRING. I HOPE YOU TAKE HEED . ITS NO JOKE . ASK THE THOUSANDS SITTING BEHIND BARS IN THIS STATE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU A DIFFERENT STORY THAN WHAT YOUR USED TO HEARING. BE SAFE.
