Mam, what we have here is a ditch weed problem.

If I planted good seeds there, they wouldn’t grow. Believe me, I know.

2. One fine autumn day in 1980, I spotted a bunch of pot growing in a horse pasture

I set out on a mission that night and returned to harvest the herb in the dark of night. I cut armfuls and armfuls, filled garbage bags with it, and stuffed the entire inside of my VW Bug with black plastic leaf bags of cannabis. Even the front trunk.

I didn't quite know what to do with it, so I drove around with it for a few days, until I finally found a place to hang it up in the hayloft of an old barn. A couple of weeks later, I cut it all down and laboriously packed the dried leaves into smaller bags.

Alas, upon first tokage, I realized what it was. Native Wisconsin Hemp, just like that used in ropes and sails. I tried to cough my way through a few ounces, but it was just too terrible, and gave me a headache.

It got moldy eventually, so I made a huge bonfire out of it. The smell drifted all through the neighborhood.

Moral of the story: Don't smoke native hemp.

4. Sounds like we are neighbors.

7. And I'm guessing that's why it was still

there in the first place. Had it been really nice herb it would’ve been “long gone.” 🤔
