Growing Marijuana
Marijuana is a deciduous plant which grows from seeds. The fibrous section of
the plant was used to make rope that has now been replaced by synthetics. The flowering
tops, leaves, seeds and resin of the plant are used by people to
get high. Normally, the vegetable parts of the plant are smoked to produce this
high, but thay can also be eaten. The axtive ingredient in marijuana resin is
THC (Teta-hydro-cannabinol). Marijuana contains from 1 - 4 percent THC (4 per cent is considered to be good dope). Marijuana grows wild in many parts of the
world, and is cultivated in Mexico, Vietnam, Africa, Nepal, India, South
America and so on. The marijuana sold in the United States comes primarily from,
yes, the United States. It is estimated that at least 50 percent of the grass
on the streets in America is homegrown. The next largest bunch comes across the
border from Mexico, with smaller amounts filtering in from Panama, occasionally
South America, and sometimes, Africa. Hashish is the pure resin of the
marijuana plant, which is scraped from the flowering tops of the plant and
lumped together. Ganja is the ground-up tops of the finest plants. (It is also
the name given to any sort of marijuana in Jamaica.) Marijuana will deteriorate
in about two years if exposed to light, air or heat. It should always be stored
in cool places.
The Price of Grass
Grass prices in the United States are a direct reflection of the
laws of supply and demand (and you thought that high school economics would
never be useful). A series of large border busts, a short growing season, a bad
crop, any number of things can drive the price of marijuana up. Demand still
seems to be on the increase in the U.S., so prices seldom fall below last year's
level. Each year a small seasonal drought occurs, as last year's supply runs
low, and next year's crop is not up yet. Prices usually rase about 20 - 75 per
cent during this time and then fall back to "normal." Unquestionably, a large
shortage of grass causes a percentage of smokers to turn to harder drugs
instead. For this reason, no grass control program can ever be beneficial or
successful.
Can I Grow Marijuana?
There is one surefire way of avoiding high prices and the grass DT's: Grow your
own! This is not as difficult as some "authorities" on the subject would make you
believe. Marijuana is a weed, and a fairly vivacious one at that, and it will
grow almost in spite of you.
