    Admin Note :Whilst we all enjoy discussing this plant and it various merits, both asthetic, nutritional and medicinal, Gardeners Corner cannot be seen as encouraging or condoning the cultivation of a plant that is illegal to grow in the U.K. without a licence.

    Keep it legal good people:dbgrtmb:

        Let me stub out my Joint:heehee: and agree with Ziggy who's just clarifying the official stand point of GC Admin. However, I don't think the thread has overstepped the bounds of offending or encouraging cultivation of such plants but is merely discussing the subject and being anecdotal regarding opinions etc. Ziggy was just marking the line.:whistle:

              I`ve noticed that anytime I`m google for a plant or a way of cultivation , GC is one of the first to come out , we all should be careful at what we write , sometime we really give the bad impression ....

              And the fact that no action would be taken against the couple it dasn`t mean that , peoples should start growing cannabis........this stuff is forbidden for a reason , as much as it look funny, many peoples are die every year , many family are ripped apart .
              Many say I smoke at home and don`t make any trouble , they forgot all what is involved behind .

              GC admistrators are really doing a good job :blue thumb:

                  That note wasn't directed at anyone in particular, we know you were joking Sal:biggrin:

                  But like you say, anyone, including PC Plod, can read this & we don't want a knock at the office door & them going through Aesculus's Cactus collection.

                      I had that reaction when I got sent down the Chemists to get some more syringes for injecting grout behind medieval render on a church in Gloucester.

                      Mind you, I did have a hippy jumper on:biggrin:

                        A few years back I went into a well know stationers in town as I needed some of the resealable clear plastic bags for some motor bike parts that were going on display at a dirt bike meeting....anyway long story short I was walking up and down the shop unable to find any when the sales lad with peircings all over his head came up to offer help? I discribed what I was looking for and explained it was for a product I made myself, in a very loud voice he said "OH, you mean DRUG BAGS!" ffs no need for that lol, there was lots of peeps looking at me :(

                        That reminds me of a bit from Milligan's war memoires, someone in his unit had caught crabs & he quietly asked in the chemists for a bottle of Blue Unction (the only use for this was to get rid of crabs) The chemist replied in a loud voice "BLUE UNCTION?"

                        He replied in a louder voice, "YES, I'VE GOT BLOOMIN CRABS!!"

                        :snork:

                          lol this is a true story, many years ago (around 20 or more) I was down the pub drinking with a good mate when he mentioned a girl that he briefly dated the year before, I piped up in a loud voice "You mean the blonde lass that gave you CRABS?" he looked shocked and try to deny it, I insisted that she had, he confessed, then asked how I knew, I explained the day we were over his house just after they had split up I'd noticed a new half used tube of Priaderm (sp) in the bathroom, so I knew she'd either given him knitts or crabs:eeew:
