So what would happen...

[Wiimote]

if we really did overgrow the country/world?

Think about this for a second. What would Law Enforcement do if every pot smoker threw hundreds of billions of seeds everywhere? Bag seed, bought seed, made seed, it doesn't matter.

Cut a tiny hole in your pocket and let seeds trickle down your legs and out of your pants while hiking. Throwing handfulls into the medians of highways as your driving. Drop a few seeds in every planter you walk by at the park. Shoot them out of a potatoe gun against a mountainside. You get the idea.

So what would happen if everyone did this? imagine every city, town, and even the countryside all just filled with our fav plant growing everywhere? Not cultivated, not planned, just as if pot started popping up through the ground as if planted by the fingers of (the) God(ess)? Would that show them the impossibility of their task? Would it create a negative public outcry? Would it even be successfull if tried?

Just something to ponder

there would be lots of ditch weed growing and its pollen would pollinate my female plants and i'd be very pissed off as an outdoor grower.

This idea comes up all the time and unfortunately its just as bad. Plants need to be tended and cared for in order to be good enough to overgrow the world.

Anything else is just feral hemp and only going to screw up decent grows.

Yea the shit in Kansas Nebraska and Missouri is a sight to behold.When I first beheld it at 17 I had this bright idea I'd never have to work haha.After several successful car trunkfulls for the brothers making loveboat,I ended up in Andy Griffiths jail in Belleville Kansas.Plants surrounded the jailhouse and courthouse,they took my duffel bags and let me go.Its beautiful but worthless for medicinal or recreational unless you want to spray it down with phencyclidine and give a snappy sitcom label haha

whats worse.. having some shitty seeds in yer fems? or going to jail for having pristine plants?

You make a large assumptive leap in faith if you believe that simply by growing feral hemp all over the place that it would equate into legalized growing of marijuana. It just aint gonna happen like that. Asides from makeing the equivalent to a biological mess its not going to have any impact on marijuana laws.

I think, if anything the government would start trying to make the public more "aware" or the dangers of marijuana and try to inform people more of ways to spot grows, and in the end there would probably be a load more rumours about marijuana that us stoners would have to dispel on a regular basis rather than legalization. I just can't imagine overgrowing the world having any positive outcomes for us, although it is a nice thought.

wiimote imo you've got a good thought but like others i dont see untended plants gettin much accomplished. the best similar suggestion i've ever heard is for every toker to take a joint & turn themselves in all at the same time... flood the system.

Thank you, I suggested that in one of the threads many moons ago.

i went to a few nurserys the other day....i brought 10-20 dank seeds with me...and i put a shit load in a buncha containers im doing my part

guys guys guys... i dont think the point is to grow good weed here. the point is to OVERGROW. i think it would make an important point... no matter how much you try to pull it all up there will always be MORE PEOPLE AND MORE PLANTS! they wouldn't be able to pull up enough plants before they matured and pollinated each other... it'd be a yearly thing to handle.

the great thing about it tho is that people with real grows wouldn't even be targeted as much. it'd be like finding a needle in the haystack when you don't even have enough time or manpower to look for the needle.

i think it'd be worth it to do it. in the US, we don't have as much safety in growing outdoors and we have to move our grows indoors for the most part anyway. so at least HERE, i don't think it'd be that big of a problem as far as pollination goes. then again, i remember (i think) something about pollen traveling for miles on the winds. guess it would suck for those outdoor growers... oh well.. necessary evil.. collateral damage LOL!

verite makes a good point regarding the ecological mess it would make. but maybe we can better control that dspersal but planting in only open areas like those highways, in the middle, where there are NO trees and just grass. but on the other hand, look at the benefits. with all the CO2 they'd be converting to oxygen, we'd be better off with a shitload of MJ plants all over the place. might even help the ozone layer a lil.

i love the idea of overgrowing.

hahaha living in california. i could imagine meeting up with 15 million ppl and walking into the police station.....AHAHAHAHA
FREAKING GOOD IDEA!!!! well have 5830 people per bed in the county!!!
they'll need to buy everyone house just to house all the criminals...

oh man what a classic.

Problem with that in my state is they'd write you a ticket and send you home.Then you have the ticket,possible fines and court costs to deal with.Gotta take in a 20 gram sack down here to bunk down with Homeslice Slim and Stickman.

it'd just end up with the DEA having a reason to employ a bunch more agents and a widespread propaganda campaign. in the US things like this that have been debated for many years usually have to reach an extreme breaking point before anything gets accomplished(civil rights, free speech protests in the 60s). those in power will continue to make laws harsher and not change their position until enough people get pissed to massively protest and change things.

turning ourselves in for possession all at once... now that would change things if millions of people did it nationwide simultaneously

 

[PoppinFresh]

the reason i dont believe in the DEA issue is because it's going to force govt to make a real decision, not one they can just sweep under the rug. they can't use herbicides because we're gonna be reminded by the environmentalists of Agent Orange. they can't just throw more money into the DEA vaults because the amount of money required would be unfathomable. then again it might be pretty cheap as they'll have a reason to legalize immigratioN. can't send all those gardeners back to mexico during such a large scale epidemic lol

the best thing they can do is come up with a long term plan to spread the cost and that won't even work because we'll have our own people out there dumping seeds continuously.. HOPEFULLY.

the question is can we get enough people to spread enough seeds. i say a good pet project is to spark it up in NYC and then just let it spread from there. it's a high profile city, not many plots of arable land amongst all this concrete. easy to handle on both sides but definitely would send a clear message... YOUR TIME WILL BE WASTED IN THIS EFFORT.

it's gonna get crazy when people are being arrested for smelling he flowers lol.

The reason its bad is because if weed didnt have THC in it we would consider them as noxious weeds capable of killing off local plants. Kill off local plant species and you start a chain reaction in the ecosystem. One that may not change back by simply removing the offending weed. Last thing marijuana needs is to be blamed for a ecological disaster. Conservation is the goal of all natural things.

totally agreed. i love marijuana but it ain't worth potential ecological disaster just to try to get the laws changed.

but, what if we come to a sort of compromise and only plant in certain areas? i mean we dont have to go crushing a national park with millions of seeds but im thinkin we can just hit up small parks lol

bingo... i simplified it a tad by sayin just a joint. the above quote is what i meant. so many of us live in no tollerance areas that a joint causes havoc. thing is the amount of herb per person is a minor factor... the main factor IS the amounts of people to do it!

when i was younger i had similar thoughts w/seeds...

 

[asa42]

prefered thinkin they had a shot at life opposed to just trashin them. even spread them out the car window along I10 from cali to texas. coarse back then i couldn't escape seeds, seemed to be flowin out my arse. but now i have to put money out for seeds, not about to go tossin them out on a hope.
