If there's one thing I hate around here it's the "you people" tag that seems to get applied. Don't "stoners" get enough labels already? If you're going to make a statement like that, don't generalize. We are all individuals here. capable of maintaining an informed opinion and views on the issues that affect us. btw. If you actually look at the section this thread was posted in and news threads. you're actually required to supply the source for the information. This helps to limit the amount of misinformation given, especially by those who may think they may have all the answers. besides, having questions to ask on a topic makes it last a whole lot longer. Humans are naturally curious, so reading the information for ourselves, rather than have someone tell us all about it makes for a better understanding. It sure beats trying to figure out where one person's opinion is coming from, especially with no source to back it up. I find your comments quite patronizing tbh budsted. oh and without a labratory I'm sure along with myself, some will find your " findings " very hard to believe. Pebbz

If he's only just started today I'd give em more than one day to make their mark. especially if they been dormant for a long time. Pebbz

I guess that would help if you were trying to grow a money tree. But he's not. Variables such as how it was stored, at what point did it end up in the container? Are they actually old seeds that never sprouted in the first place? hence why they were left and subsequently forgotten about. Does this container have adequate seals in tact?, where was this cupboard stored for such a long period of time... As outside influence would certainly play a part. How long have you had them soaking for now? I would be inclined to think that anything that hasn't sprouted by about 10-14days is no longer a viable seed. As I stated, with so many variables that u can't be 100% sure on, it would be hard to determine what prevented them from sprouting. Go see what else ur Mum got hidden in the shed and see what happens with that best of luck Pebbz

time for "the missus" to speak. SeaHippies. maybe if you actually spent some time talking to the people in and around the forums, instead of just insulting everybody and speaking to us like we are morons, people might be a little more understanding of your views and opinions. But going around editing what people say and butting in with your own self obsessed view along the way does nothing but make you look like a tosser. I wish you well in your attempts I really do, and for the sake of the experiment I hope it yields some results, maybe enough for you to see that, well yes it may not have been as successful as a grow with hid's, but yay i get points for trying and I wasn't a complete arsehole to everyone I came across that raised questions about ur chances. and as for your comments to Pure, I can assure you if anyone would be doing any insulting towards me it would be you SeaHippies. I haven't done a grow of any kind on my own so far. But I been about the place and gotten to know people well enuf to see the sense in the doubts about the whole mirror fiasco. You've gotten on the defensive now because people have knocked ur idea. and while you may think you are contributing intelligent information in this topic and you think u look fairly smart, the truth it comes off as smartarse. That shit is never tolerated for very long. anyway... good luck.. and try not to attack everyone who has an opinion, other wise u'll start threads and have 0 replies, and well then what's the point ey. Pebbz

truly inspirational... got a stockpile of vases i never use, but fail to get round to chuck out... maybe i could do something with that... gonna bookmark this one for sure. well done mate, good job. Pebbz

I have always smoked my mull mixed with tobacco, unless i'm baking with it ofc. but yeh, just how i've always had it and I guess while i remain a smoker i will probably continue to. I don't think the adding of tobacco plays as much part to pot's addictivness so to speak as much as (i got to this point and totally derailed my train of thought... blank! ) the physical, emotional and mental aspects of what pot offers a person. I've missed other examples as well, there are plenty more when you have a real think on it. anyway... i think i've said what i wanted to say... Oh.. never seen weed for sale with tobacco in it... be a bit dissapointed if I did i'd imagine as well and the person responsible would be receiving a strongly worded letter and loss of business Pebbz

This is the kid just in case you were trying to match a face to the name. Jamie Waylett

I know of the bloke they talking about and even to look at him he's a total space cadet. Even his character is a bit of a dummy. I don't think they'll be too concerned about what to do with him as far as the rest of the movies go as afaik they have already finished filming the last one (wanted to get it over and done with before 17 year olds start to look more like 27 ) I'm guessing his favourite subject was "herbology" Ahh well all the best for him... maybe his familiar face will assist him in getting some lighter punishment.

ya don't get much help from being an asshole is all i'm gonna say...

Growing violence: Marijuana gardens are robbery targets throughout Humboldt County Story by Sean Garmire; Times-Standard. A quiet McKinleyville neighborhood was jolted last Sunday night by the echo of three gunshots and the sound of breaking glass, as three suspects in an alleged home invasion robbery frantically drove away from a marijuana grow house. Home-invasion robberies at houses with pot gardens occur with disconcerting regularity in Humboldt County, law enforcement officials say. And the potential for violence in any robbery is high. Within the past six months, at least three people have been shot during suspected grow house robberies in Humboldt County. ”I can't think of a home invasion robbery in the last two years in Humboldt County that hasn't had a drug connection to it,” said Eureka Police Chief Garr Nielsen. In every case, “it's almost exclusively marijuana.” The Sunday incident Investigators have been slow to release information about the alleged home invasion robbery that occurred in McKinleyville on April 12. However, three search warrant affidavits filed at the Humboldt County Superior Court provide some details surrounding the incident. According to the affidavits, at around 12:30 p.m. at a Harden Drive residence in McKinleyville, three residents -- Richard, Brandon and James Barnett -- sat watching TV when they heard a knock at the door. Brandon Barnett answered, and three black male adults pushed their way into the room, demanding, “Where's the stuff?” One of the men stood guard near the Barnetts while the other two walked into the back of the house and returned with two bags, each filled with at least one pound of marijuana. After grabbing the drugs, the three alleged robbers left the house together. According to an affidavit, seconds after the suspected robbers walked out, Richard Barnett ran for the door, grabbing a .357-caliber pistol off the kitchen table as he went. When Richard Barnett stepped outside, the affidavit says, he saw two men seated in a car, while a third stood in the driveway struggling to open the car door. Richard Barnett told police he yelled at the men to stop, warning them he had a gun, but the man slipped into the car and the driver hit the gas. Humboldt County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Brenda Godsey said Richard Barnett then fired his gun into the windshield as the driver frantically backed out of the driveway, knocking over a portable basketball hoop as they sped away. Police soon received reports of gunshots fired, and traveled to the Harden Street residence, where they found the Barnetts and interviewed them. After conducting the search warrant at the Barnetts' residence, police found 23 firearms -- including handguns, rifles and shotguns -- in plain view and hidden in rooms throughout the house. Within a short time that night, a blue Daewoo with three bullet holes in its hood and windshield, and blood spattered across the front passenger seat, was discovered abandoned in the parking lot of Mad River Community Hospital by officers in Arcata. Although the Sheriff's Office has not released the names of any suspects involved in the incident, the affidavit reports investigators learned 24-year-old Mario DeAngelo Alexander had been admitted to the hospital for two gunshot wounds in his upper chest and left hand. Investigating officer Sgt. Wayne Hanson attempted to speak with Alexander, but he could only say he did not know why he was shot, and Hanson ceased his questions, allowing Alexander to be treated, according to the affidavit. Hanson said on Friday that Alexander was not in police custody, and remained in treatment as the investigation into the alleged home invasion robbery continues. Casing the grows Richard Barnett told an investigating officer that the day before the alleged robbery, a black male who he did not recognize visited his residence, announcing he was from the Oakland Cannabis Club and asking to see his marijuana garden. According to information in the search warrant affidavit, the two men discussed a price for the pot, but the unknown male suddenly said he didn't want it, and left the house. A company called Oakland Cannabis Club does exist; however, a spokesman for the club said it is not a dispensary, but an online medical marijuana directory, and its staff is not involved with trade in medical marijuana. According to law enforcement officials, potential grow house robbers typically spend some amount of time gathering intelligence on their target before breaking in. Arcata Police Sgt. Todd Dokweiler, who has investigated numerous grow-house robberies in Humboldt County, said there are a number of ways someone in search of a potential target can find information about grow-house locations. And the robberies, he said, are “usually not random.” In one alleged grow house robbery in Arcata that occurred in early April, Dokweiler said one of five teenage robbery suspects has been accused of going door-to-door asking a “bogus question” in search of a grow house. ”This was a unique case in that it appears they were randomly casing houses looking for grows,” Dokweiler said. Dokweiler said another common way grow houses are identified by potential robbers occurs when the grower willingly invites people into their house during a party or some other social event. Usually, grow houses are robbed by people from outside Humboldt County, Dokweiler said. Information about Humboldt County grow houses can be a valuable commodity for criminals tempted by quick and easy cash, and the location of grow houses is often spread inside jails and prisons, said Eureka Police Lt. Murl Harpham. Humboldt County Sheriff Gary Philp said although grow-house robberies are rarely sophisticated operations, they usually do employ some amount of intelligence gathering. ”Some (suspects) are from the area,” Philp said, “but others have been people from out of the area who gathered information from people they knew up here.” Crimes of a victim Many Humboldt County officials in law enforcement say they realize only a small fraction of grow-house robberies are ever reported. ”We know there are many that go unreported,” Mendosa said. “The people who are victims of the violent acts are themselves committing crimes.” Dokweiler is one of many police officers who say the vast majority of grow-house robberies are never reported. The robberies that are reported, Dokweiler said, are done so usually only after a person is seriously injured or gunshots are fired, which draws attention to the scene. Officials in law enforcement say every grow-house robbery is different, but in many cases, the grower may not face any charges. Nielsen said, “Growing is certainly not a violent crime like a robbery is. From my perspective, that's what takes priority -- but that's not to say we would disregard the fact someone has an illegal grow.” Mendosa too said he would not be willing to automatically offer immunity for growers who have been robbed. ”I can think of lots of situations when we may decide that it's a prosecutable case for the grower,” Mendosa said. But, he continued, in most instances, “the marijuana grow portion of the case was a minimum issue.” Growing protection In Humboldt County, grow houses are plentiful and the growers are composed of a diverse spectrum of lifestyles. But in every one of their gardens are plants that have proven to be an exceptionally attractive asset for thieves. Nielsen, Philp and Mendosa all agree, the best way for a grower to limit their likelihood of being robbed is to just grow less. ”We are not looking at preventing people from having (gardens), just reducing the amount being grown,” Philp said. “Three pounds is very attractive -- a couple ounces, people are probably not going to take the effort.” Growing less, however, is difficult for some. Nielsen said growing small amounts may be difficult for any Proposition 215 collective growing operation. Harpham added that many growers who adhere to the state-mandated six mature plant limit cannot harvest enough to meet their medical needs. For Philp, the biggest concern is that those who must grow marijuana can do it safely. ”If you're growing, and you've got a fairly significant amount, you're at risk,” Philp said. “All it takes is somebody telling the right person who passes it on. The next thing you know, you've got somebody in your house.”

i would recommend using the paints that are used to make a stained glass effect, once it's on there and dried it's pretty resilient. and as MP advised they can be aquired from most craft supply stores, you may even be lucky in finding them at a decent bunnings. the other option which i have considered. I believe you can also get spraypaint for glass. grab a can of that and it should cover the whole job. If you were looking at non-transparent and had a bit of spare dosh I would also recommend automotive paints, which can either be airbrushed on, or painted with a paintbrush. They are my suggestions... good luck. Pebbz

what was it in.. a fricken lunch box or something... surely if he had done it before he should have known the risks, especially with national security being on the constant lookout for anything that gets em a pat on the back. These imbeciles give everyone else a bad name.. hello... we already have a bad enough rap as it is... I wonder if he even made it look like a christmas present ...

NB* if you're going to go to the effort of sending a kilo of bud through the post... maybe try and make it a little less detectable. Where for the love of sweet merciful crap has people's common bloody sense gone?? Pebbz

Ok... I haven't been pregnant, but at some point I would hope to be. From the point of view of another female tho, personally I wouldn't take the risk. If something was to happen on account of it, and because every person is different I don't disagree with thedarkestone's comments, you just never know how your body and your bubs will react to it, the same with any drugs i guess. I plan to stop smoking cannibis while going thru pregnancies. just to be on the safe side. here are some useful things to help with the morning sickness, of course I don't know if you have tried them or not.. but i reckon they'd be worth a shot if you haven't. Acupressure Wrist Bands Acupressure wrist bands, often marketed as "sea bands", stimulate an acupuncture point called "pericardium 6" (p6), which is known in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve nausea. It is a wrist band with a plastic button that puts pressure on the p6 point inside of the wrist. They usually cost less than $10 for a pair and can be found online or in some health food stores. It usually begins to work immediately. Peppermint Essential Oil The aroma of peppermint can help a queasy stomach. Fill a large bowl with hot water. Place two drops of peppermint essential oil in the bowl and place it on a table near your bed. Make sure it is in a safe area so there is no risk of it being knocked over. Or use an aromatherapy diffuser, which can be purchased at some health food stores. Ginger Ginger has long been shown to help relieve the feelings of nausea and is a common remedy for morning sickness. Ginger can be taken in a number of ways – as a tea, fresh, as a powder mixed with water, in flat ginger ale, or as crystallised ginger. About a gram of ginger spread out over the day seems to be ideal. Hope that helps, and good luck... do you know the sex of ur twins?? Pebbz
