An idea...

[MaryLane]

I have been thinking of this for quite some time, and I'm not sure if it has any merit. This is because it could cause more harm to the pro-pot movement than it would help. However, it could serve to prove a point and maybe spread awareness by forcing people to become aware of the issues surrounding this plant.

Here is my idea in a nutshell:

I have a friend with a private pilot's license. I have another friend with thousands and thousands of seeds. My idea was to hop in his plane, fly over any public areas where the pot could grow, and start dumping seeds. Next thing you know, pots plants growing everywhere. All over cities, parks, rural areas, urban areas, almost anywhere it can take root. Now, if lots of people did this in each state, it would be absolutely impossible for the DEA or anyone else to completely clean it up, or even make any arrests.

Is this a bad idea or a good idea? It would certainly piss off law enforcement, and that can be a good or bad thing.



Anyway, this isn't really a practical idea of mine, rather, it is more of a fantasy. I think it'd be fun to do and see the reaction from the government, but of course, the reaction could be very negative and hurt what is starting to become a successful pro-marijuana (at least, pro-medical marijuana) environment for some of us.

Any thoughts?

You ever hear of Johnny appleseed. He didn't have a airplane but he is responsible for a lot of wild apple trees. Just wonder how many innocent people would be busted for a pot plant in their back yard?

[Blindman0v0]

We use to do that in the old days.Just stick them in the dirt on old dirt roads and let them grow.Now seeds are so damn expensive it would cost a fortune.Hemp grows all over beside the freeways in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

They couldn't bust people for it if they knew that someone had spread seeds all over the county. That would be ridiculous.

Wait, we're talking about the DEA... they are generally ridiculous as regards pot anyway.

Seeds were dumped in planters, by the police station, in parks, vacant lots...wherever! To do the airplane thing has been discussed since I was a young hippie! :hippy: Reality check! Scattering by hand happened, the airplane didn't.

And I constantly hear, "My plant went hermie and my grow is full of seeds!" Hermie-ism is a SURVIVAL trait in the wild! Plant those "bastard" seeds! If even one hermied individual can survive, it will start a colony with a little luck! OK, the "wildwood weed" would have seeds and be hermie prone- run it through a sifter and it still smokes fine!

Now's the time to find a few secluded spots that have enough water, good soil, etc., so come this spring, you can play "Johnny Potseed" in your area. If you are lucky, you can come back for a late fall "pick-nic" and harvest. If they all died, well, have a nice picnic!- Granny:hippy:

Well, my intention was not to come back and harvest the plants. That would sort of defeat the purpose. I was thinking that if there were that many plants growing randomly all over the place, that it would make the news and raise awareness. I would not want to harvest it because then that would work in the favor of those against pot.

The idea is kicked around on every MJ message board on the net. It sounds great, and people have been hand dropping them for years. The problem is that when random joe citizen sees it, will he cut it down? the other problem i see is the cold. i tried to freeze some seeds once and couldnt get any of them to germ after. I dont know if it was just a bad batch, or freezing them kills them. if it does, most of the U.S. freezes at least once a year. bad for wild MJ growth.

[TheSmokingMonkey]

Yeah, you'd be Johnny Cannabis-seed.

Just be sure to do it over a national park or something... I don't want one of them suckers sprouting up in my little old lady neighbor's backyard and her getting busted so I have to go visit an innocent woman in prison. You know?

But yeah... if you can keep it outta the innocent bystanders' backyards, by all means, that would be fantastic and would really frost law enforcement.

I don't think it would help matters, necessarily, but it would be pretty amazing.
