Effectively, Growing Your Own Has Been Decriminalised (in the UK) - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Van-man;34435935]Only if we're talking about growing cannabis to get really damn strong dank. That obviously requires hydroponics, growth lamps, constant temperature monitoring and fertilizing.[/QUOTE] I can grow 'dank' in my backyard with a shovel and some water. It isn't about if it's grown hydroponically or not, it's about the seeds and just not being an idiot(ex. remember to water it). Even then two seeds can turn out completely differently.

[QUOTE=Rombishead;34436090]Where would someone get the seeds then? I guess buying seeds is still illegal?[/QUOTE] I've heard that buying the seeds is completely legal, could just be a myth though.

[QUOTE=Rombishead;34436090]Where would someone get the seeds then? I guess buying seeds is still illegal?[/QUOTE] seeds come from plants.

buying seeds has always been legal [editline]28th January 2012[/editline] i think

At the bottom: CAUTION. The possession, cultivation, production, supply and importation of cannabis remain illegal.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;34436175]Yea, and watch as your weed gets parasites, fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, and disease. [/QUOTE] Yeah I forgot that automatically happens. I forget every fucking tree and bush is covered in diseases in parasites. Plus it's not like hydro grows don't have any of "fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, and disease" that can go wrong with them. Shit happens.

[QUOTE=MightyMax;34436227]At the bottom: CAUTION. The possession, cultivation, production, supply and importation of cannabis remain illegal.[/QUOTE] Things can be illegal while not being a criminal offence. It's a civil offence instead I think (?).

[QUOTE=Werem00se;34436255]Yeah I forgot that automatically happens. I forget every fucking tree and bush is covered in diseases in parasites. [/quote] It's pretty prevalent in the wild. I'll give you that some strains are more rugged than others, but many strains were bred and designed to be grown in controlled environments, and are very susceptible to disease. This is what happens when you breed a plant for certain characteristics, they often become less equipped to handle their natural habitat. [quote]Plus it's not like hydro grows don't have any of "fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, and disease" that can go wrong with them. Shit happens.[/QUOTE] Yea, but the likeliness is lower. Also, that's why growing weed is "hard". It takes skill and know-how to identify whether something is a disease or nutrient deficiency, how to handle it, and prevent it from happening later. It isn't as simple as "plant and grow", if you want to make quality marijuana, and people should only be interested in growing quality marijuana in the first place. Who wants to smoke dirt?

So basically growers won't get banged up in prison anymore? Should increase supply, but I don't see that much has changed.

UK here I come. Fuck you USA.

You can have the 'best' seeds and you'll still get shit weed if you just put it in dirt and give it water. Please don't act like you know shit about something you clearly know nothing about.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;34436636]you know there are upmarket and downmarket variants of pretty much every single consumer product in existence right why should weed be any different[/QUOTE] Why not? Like I said, people don't want to smoke dirt and no one goes to buy weed with the intention of buying low quality shit.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;34435974]Why would you want to grow shitty weed in the first place?[/QUOTE] Even with something as simple as a greenhouse you cat grow fairly potent weed. In fact, only weed that's growing in the wild produces shitty buds, and that's if it's a strain that hasn't been cultivated. It's pretty much like Tomatoes, you can grow your own decent one's with a greenhouse, or buy some from a market. But if you just dump the seeds in some dirt outside your windows, then obviously the outcome is bound to be shitty. [B]EDIT:[/B] And since you (atleast PRETEND to) know so much about it, how about educating people, instead of saying [I]"not worth it mang, buy it instead"[/I]?? Also some people homegrow simply because they can, why is that bad? Also practice makes better, gotta start [B]somewhere[/B]

"Why would you want to grow weed in the first place?" Is the best question, I just don't get the appeal of smoking at all...seems so pointless.

[QUOTE=ColdWave;34437664]"Why would you want to grow weed in the first place?" Is the best question, I just don't get the appeal...[/QUOTE] I believe the answer is rather simple: to ingest it.

[QUOTE=ColdWave;34437664]"Why would you want to grow weed in the first place?" Is the best question, I just don't get the appeal...[/QUOTE] Gives nice framing to my flowers.

I give it to the kids when they're a bit hyper the dog too and my grandma when she's uppity works wonders

[QUOTE=Shiftyze;34436504]UK here I come. Fuck you USA.[/QUOTE] Since you just got back from living in China, I guess it won't take long for you to pack!

[QUOTE=zombini;34435754]And this substance is less damaging than tobacco to the lungs.[/QUOTE] That hardly means anything.. More like "this substance is less damaging than tobacco to the lungs if smoked pure (without tobacco) out of a vaporizer, assuming obviously that the quality of weed is also good (no added shit for example.)

What's the point in only decriminalizing it?

More like "this substance is less damaging than tobacco to the lungs if smoked pure (without tobacco) out of a vaporizer, assuming obviously that the quality of weed is also good (no added shit for example.)[/QUOTE] A vaporiser isn't the healthiest way to take weed. Pot brownies is. With a vaporiser you still get tar (You get tar when burning any plant)

[QUOTE=Barnhouse;34436258]decriminalised doesnt mean legal idiot[/QUOTE] I'm just pointing it out you asshole.

Too bad weed stopped doing anything for me ages ago...

[QUOTE=Bawbag;34438044]A vaporiser isn't the healthiest way to take weed. Pot brownies is. With a vaporiser you still get tar (You get tar when burning any plant)[/QUOTE] I'm not sure you understand how vaporization and pyrolysis work. As in, you don't. If you have a cheap vaporizer it's possible for it to be badly calibrated, get too hot and burn the plant matter, as opposed to vaporizing the cannabis.

[QUOTE=ColdWave;34437664]"Why would you want to grow weed in the first place?" Is the best question, I just don't get the appeal of smoking at all...seems so pointless.[/QUOTE] SELL THAT SHIT

[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;34438032]What's the point in only decriminalizing it?[/QUOTE] I believe they wanted to take exploratory steps towards lightening up on it, without necessarily legalizing it, to see how behaviors changed.
