Yesterday in the 98°F heat I was searching for the corners of a 5 acre parcel near Tumalo, Oregon. When I drove down the driveway I noticed that the side of
one of the two green houses on the adjoining parcel was open and I did a "double take". Wow, there are more than a few dollars worth of MJ in those greenhouses!
I didn't have to worry about getting shot - the floodgates opened up yesterday in this state.

Leaves on the bottom turning yellow could be an indication of overwatering.....errr...at least that's what I once read in a book...

I was working (in Oregon) on an apartment complex yesterday (July 1), and herd a woman yelling at her kid "We are going to go out side and smoke, then we are gonna smoke some weed!" and the kid yelled "No!!!!". I was standing by her back deck, and she has no yard, it is just woods behind her, and I thought what is she going to think when she comes back here, and finds this "prowler" looking and listening to what she is doing. My paranoia was setting in worrying about her paranoia. But I guarantee you I was not smoking anything.

The Mexican drug cartels and drug lords are dead set against this kind of activity being legalized, not to mention private prison corporations.

Ummm.. I just consulted the Nun (currently at the diamond mine on Mars, by the way) and she said to tell you that the picture of the plant with the yellow leaf is INDICA. Leaf discoloration at the base is normal (or Norman in your case ;-))

And said, that you don't utilize the leaves anyway (unless extremely desperate)

This is all true because I readed it on the outernet. B-)

Sister Mary Bogart has been on the road this summer on her usual missionary projects. I don't know where she's at, but she keeps sending me pics on her cell phone.

"Medical" marijuana has been legal in this state for a number of years (10+/-?). And all you needed to get a "medical" marijuana card was to complain to the doctor at the marijuana clinic of some indistinct anxiety.

"I'm worried about the man catching me with weed, doc."

Survey hazard ahead. A feller has to have extra-ordinary people skills to perform boundary retracements in my neck o' the woods.

This particular area is inhabited by asian mafia. Just down the road from where the really rottens hole up.

Paranoia, big destroya.

I have heard a lot of posters here through the years extoll the values of small family rural farm/agriculture lifestyle and the good values that they foster.

I guess cannabis has a better return than Christmas trees or growing organic kale.

As the photos of the greenhouses prove, very little area is required to produce ridiculous values of that particular product. Why be outside where getting spotted is easy? An easy crop for urban and suburban farming.

When I worked in Kansas you'd see it along the country roads. I was told it really didn't have the punch of the more developed stuff, so nobody really messed with it, just another weed along the road.

Not an issue around here. Pot plantations would be welcome compared to the masters of backyard pharmacology with meth labs in the woods.

Long ago as County Surveyor (and crew chief) we were tasked with regularly topo'ing the small County landfill for volumetrics. At times, the dump was overgrown with 3' high pot plants. Back then apparently part of the ritual was "carding" your weed and throwing away the seeds. The stuff could outcompete native weeds!

A crewmember observed the plants were "shake" and not worth smoking.

I found honey bee hives.
One was on the end of an abandoned mobile home hanging underneath the eave.
Another was in a five-gallon deer feeder bucket hanging from a tree limb about five feet off the ground.
