2. Dunno, but they have a lot of them
down at the ranch in Crawford.

No wonder he likes "clearing brush."

11. Well
All I can say is when I went to Maui, some idiot put some kind of seeds in my suitcase. When I got home I threw the seeds all out in my yard, and now my whole yard is full of weeds. I am going to spay weed killer tomorrow. These friggin things are 6 feet high.

involving large pieces of blown glass, a heat source of some kind, and fritos

leave out Frito's and substitute iced tea. It's thirsty work.

18. Iced tea
Way back when.... that was my juice of choice after a night of umm... testing leafy substances. Along with graham crackers.
I can still remember watching Don Kirshner's Rock concert while drinking iced tea and chomping on graham crackers.

13. OK, I'll ask you again
Were you standing on the corner when you heard your bulldog bark? Were they barking at the two men who were gambling in the dark?
I need to know.

24. Cool
I loved that song when I was a kid. For being from the 50's that song was pretty dangerous.

20. Worked in a clinic once, had a med-tech glare at a pg patient
The pregnant woman was from Canada and had a maple leaf pin on her coat. The stupid med-tech glared and sniffed and huffed about until finally we had to ask wtf was the problem. Her response was she couldn't believe a pregnant woman would think pot use was ok. We all laughed, which made the med-tech stomp off in a huff. It was in AK too, think she'd know better.

27. Yeah, she tried to pass herself off as a nurse for a while too
Until we "real" nurses protested. The clinic administrator said "well, she's acting like a nurse." We pointed out liability concerns and she quickly regained her med-tech status. Education and ability didn't matter, money mattered.

23. OK
I only have 20 pounds left. I burned the rest in my back yard. For some reason the raccoons around the house put SGT. Pepper's on the turntable after that.

25. I can tell you what's wrong with it
Look at how sickly greenish this poor leaf is, with yellow spots all over it. It has an iron deficiency.

I showed this leaf to my wife, who is a certified nursery specialist, and she says to amend your soil with bone meal or blood meal. Fix ya up in no time.

33. What I want to know is
What person walked around smoking every plant they could get a hold of just to see that cannabis got them "feeling funny"?

That is a good looking flower though.

38. You gotta believe it took some guts....From gardening, I know that some
plants are VERY poisonous-even some with flowers.

Oleander will kill you



and lantana would probably do the same



Both are very common in the south

35. Smokey the Bear says: Don't be a bogart!
Smokin’ Song

Smokin’ dope’ll never getcha
Into trouble ‘less they catcha
Some maryjane’ll keep yer brain
In better health, I wanna betcha
It’s not a bit immoral, no
It’s wholesome and nutritious
And the fact that it’s illegal
Only makes it all the more delicious
And at the very worst you’ll only
Slow your life a little
Yeah, you may never get around
To masterin’ that fiddle
But smokin’ dope’ll never get ya
In a mad or murderous mood
It’s not like drinkin’–you’ll just think
A lot and eat a lotta food
It’s not like coke or crack or glue
Or heroin or speed
But any idiot would know
That those are nothin’ no one needs
And you will never see a buncha
Day-glo snakes a’flyin’ atcha
Cuz smokin’ dope’ll never getcha
Into trouble ‘less they catcha

Snortin’ crank and doin’ crack’ll
Make ya croak and that’s a fact
But no one ever took a toke
And dropped dead of a heart attack
And you won’t crash your car on grass
If you follow what I’m sayin’
At worst you might run out of gas
(More likely you’ll just stay in)

Smokin’ dope’ll never getcha
Into trouble ‘less they catcha
The worstest part is worryin’
The DEA is gonna snatcha
But boo won’t make you want to steal
To support your habit
And it won’t make you want to kill
A little baby bunny rabbit
You’ll laugh a little louder
And a little bit more often
You’ll smoke too many cigarettes
And do a lotta coughin’
But you won’t ever hurt yourself
Or others with a spoon
You’ll probably just sit around
And watch cartoons all afternoon
Or spend a lil too much time
Just talkin’ to your pets
But that’s about as scary as a
Mari-juana madman gets
No you will never see a buncha
Day-glo snakes a’flyin’ atcha
Cuz smokin’ dope’ll never getcha
Into trouble ‘less they catcha
