Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Tracie Thanks for your info and personal stories on this subject. I agree with you that the doctors especially probably think of one of the publically illegal "high drugs" of that era, but it is so useful now in illnesses that cause a lot of pain and nausea. As I said to Terri, it is so bad that is not available for more patients that actually need it. I did not know that you were legally allowed to have the plants in your possession except for the Federal's watchful eyes. I wonder how many states are allowed this freedom locally. Debbie T.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 OK, now y'all know that I have a marijuana story, right? About 30 yrs. ago we were living in a little town outside Dallas. I was trying to grow an avocado plant. The first seed that I planted in my pot of potting soil (hmmm, catch all the wordplays there?) never sprouted, so I dug it out & planted another one. Well, the avocado never sprouted, but another plant did. It was just the prettiest plant! I put it in my front window & just took the best care of it. One day this guy down the street came in with my husband & suggested that I might want to take my plant out of the window. When I asked him why, he hemmed & hawed, finally saying that it looked a bit like a marijuana plant. Now you have to understand, even though I had been a nurse for 5 years by then, I was very naive & green. I was one of the Baby Boomers who never inhaled. I didn't even know what pot smelled like. Well, I didn't want to give up my plant if it wasn't MJ, so I put it in a paper bag & took it to work in a L & D unit at a Dallas hospital. I left it in the locker room, intending to get some opinions after we had gotten report. But one of the other nurses came out & asked, "Who's pot is that in the locker room?" They couldn't believe that I had carried it into the hospital! After hearing the whole story, we all were convinced that my husband & his friend had planted it, even tho they denied it. But I had been using that same potting soil for weeks, so I think a rogue MJ seed would have managed to appear sooner than that. So now I had this lovely plant. I was afraid to take it home, but hated to just toss it in the trash. We decided to put it in the break room, used by doctors & nurses. It sat there for a week or so, then one of the nurse-anesthetists put it in their call room. They kept it for awhile, then it mysteriously "disappeared." I think it found a loving home. So, there went my career in growing marijuana!
