Has this ever been done? (Think Johnny Appleseed...)

[Infinite Sky]

Has a widescale marijuana planting initiative ever been undertakenthat you guys know of? And I don't mean a few crappy seeds here and there; more like tens of thousands of decent plants all around the country. Obviously a lot wouldn't grow and/or would be cut down immediately, but that isn't necessarily the point since getting on the news would be success enough since that would have the potential to re-open a forum of why we even bother to demonize this plant in the first place and so on.

Any thoughts or comments?

I personally don't think it would be very successful unless done on a very, very large scale and in the midst of relatively little news, but it seems like an interesting idea nonetheless.

Come springtime, I'll be spreading seeds around campus, and throughout the woods I smoke in. Right now it's too cold.

[thedude21]

I've contemplated it. It may work, Especially if you live in a small town or by a forest or something like that. But a wide spread initiative, It could be a lot of fun indeed.

[Gyva02]

plant so many that eventually its just outta control! Awesome idea. But can it be done? at what rate would plants spread? are their natural carriers of the seeds? like with fruits? how would they spread? how many seeds does a plant make?

:) good idea... now take action


Mike...

[theshaman]

Tell everyone you know that doesn't use their seeds to collect them, and then one day just go out and scatter them around. You won't have to do much, since they are weeds. Spread the word! Smokey TH Seed.

[LoriBaby]

i cant beleive how many others have thought of this concept,and what a brilliant concept at that.All pot heads should unite once a year and plant seeds around where they live.
MARIJUANA FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

[theshaman]

A great man once said, "The Power is YOURS!!!"


It must be done.

[B Side7]

how about april 20th?

[finkish]

420 it is then, we must spred the word

[B Side7]

How will we spread the word. There has to be some way, like having a bunch of people save up and put on some T.V. commercials haha

No the govt wouldn't have that.
Nor would my Cable provider. "COMCAST cares about the community" And in people's minds pot is bad.

But there has to be some way to reach TONS of smokers.

[theshaman]

Convince everyone you know to do it, and have them spread it, and so forth and so on.

[LoriBaby]

itll be like that movie pay it foward but with potheads
haha

without being all gay and stuff

[Infinite Sky]

A serious approach should be taken if you guys are actually serious about doing this; i.e. plant at a time of year and in places that maximizes the likelyhood of the seeds growing into plants, talk with others about a reasonable course of action to ensure that authorities and/or locals note the growth of the plants, look into risks involved, ect.

The above along with other obvious facets that should be considered will vary slightly depending on where this is being done, but that shouldn't keep a project like this from being a success in small towns or suburbs.

Painting the nation green with Marijuana plants is a warm fuzzy thought, but obviously isn't likely to happen. The most feasible widescale approach that I can think of would be something along the lines of planting a lot of seeds in numerous suburban areas at the same time around a tri-state area. If nothing else, that has an outside shot of making the news.

Any thoughts?

Groundskeepers will remove the plants along with the other weeds in the normal course of their duties. They probably won't even note the species of weed they just pulled.

Even if you guerilla planted small plots rather than individual plants, what message would be sent beyond than "Whee!!"?

What I had in mind when the inquery of whether this had ever been done was more along the lines of planting in areas that aren't particularly well-groomed, but also aren't completely out of the public eye. I don't know where you live, but there's quite a few places around here that fit that description.

As for the message that would be sent in the unlikely event that there was a considerable success rate, it could be anywhere from further evidence of how much time/resources are wasted by local law enforcement on drug control (since they would probably go out and try to destroy the rest of the plants) to, at the very least, opening up a forum of why marijuana is illegal in the first place.

I realize that the response would most likely be something to the effect of the collective head of society shaking in disgust at the most recent atrocity caused by local burnouts, but who really cares? Never acting on curiosity is one of the many traits that I can't stand about my dull, overweight peers.

[B Side7]

Think about it, what if we actually did it all across the U.S.? If it was done maybe 3 or 4 years in a row... Pot would have to be legalized...Everyone would posess it unknowingly

Anybody know where to order larger quanity of shawg seeds? the danks are pretty expensive, but shit a 50 pond sack of shawg seed???? lol just a thought, if your going to do it you might as well do it.


Mike...

[the_midnight_rider]

actually the perfect way to create this movement would be for a large ecrowd of ppl to get tofgether and plant in a well known place in the us where it was still possible to do so. haha like yellowstone. I f you did this you would bring media attention free and could possibly inspire others to begin growing widespread in smaller more rural and subur
ban areas

[cosmicdust]

When I was attending Arizona State University (ASU), in Tempe, Az, from 1973-1974, I had a hippy friend (an ex-Army cook, then dorm cook), who once showed me a huge plastic bag of many, many marijuana seeds (at his house in MESA, AZ) and said that he was "Johnny Marijuanaseed" and that he was going to plant these seeds all over the USA! True, or STONED AGAIN!!! He definately had the seeds to do it! But did he plant them all over the USA? Well maybe not ALL over, but probably in a few places. He did specifically say "Johnny Marijuanaseed". It's an old idea from the party 70's!!!

We came up with the idea of a "Stoner's Christmas Tree", i.e. a thick and tall marijuana bush, decorated with joints and "reds" (seconal capsules). No one actually made one though. Just a stoner's joke! Cheech and Chong probably would make one!

Marijuana was very popular in the early 70's, as were the DOWNERS: SECONAL (secobarbital), or "REDS", and QUAALUDES (brand name of William H. Rorer, Inc. for methaqualone), or "LUDES" and "SOAPERS" (a variation of "SOPER", which is a brand name of Arnar-Stone Laboratories for methaqualone). RORER 714's (William H. Rorer, Inc. trademark) were most desirable, as they contained a double dose of 300 mgs. (150 mgs. X2), enough to slur your speech, bang off of the walls and fall down alot. Like alcohol, but more euphoric, pleasant and fun!!!

I've heard of marijuana plants growing by Police Stations, as a stoner's joke, but that was before BIG BROTHER's cameras! Don't plant them on YOUR property, as you'd get busted for growing and dealing! They could use DRUG/PROPERTY FOREITURE LAWS! Planting them in out of way places would work. I've hiked through a field and in a patch of woods, by the edge of a large swamp, I found a few plants growing under a sheet of glass! Not mine, but someones. Watch out for BIG BROTHER's cameras and the government's scary BLACK HELICOPTERS (equiped with sensitive INFRA-RED imaging cameras)! They're all real!

JOHNNY MARIJUANASEED - Go for it!!!

Peace out. Smoke up.


(\__/) I'm BUNNY MARIJUANASEED!!!

u suck
i'm going to do a project in the spring to plant all around my city...its goin to be alot , but not tens of thousands...
i was also hoping that it would get on the news...or if not just let people get the idea taht marijuana <i> is</i> a plant and can grow anywhere..
the good thing about planting alot is that they might pollinate and there will be m ore next year =D

[WhisperingWoods]

plant in the forests, that way people wont fuck with them and cut them down.

[lonewolf313]

I've been scattering my seeds ever since college in South Carolina, where it will and does grow wild. I started spreading my seeds after reading the story of Johnny Hempseed, a Southern Pothead folklore tale. Tons of people do spread their seeds, have been for years in the southeastern U.S. works great in the swamps!

[lonewolf313]

Oh yeah, I'm a journalist so maybe I could cook up some kind of press release if you guys are serious about wanting to make the news. Chances are it won't make the news unless someone sends a press release to the right people...

[†ù®Ké¥ š†ûƒƒïñg]

We grew 3 shawg plants behind the police station in my town. They never foudn them, or didn't bother to destroy them. One of them got stolen, but the other we acually got to smoke. There's also a peir in town that alot of people drink and smoke j's and blunts on. I found 5, 3 or 4 month-old-looking plants growing beside the parkign lot. I went to the end of the pier and smoked a few joints, I came back and a cop was sitting there in the parkign lot, and he was radioing in the plants. He then ripped them up and stompped them.

[sniffmagikmarkrs]

this reminds me of www.johnnyganjaseed.com (http://www.johnnyganjaseed.com)

or org, something like that.....it's so funny

[Tainted]

This thread reminded me of some news story I saw awhile ago. There was like 25 pot plants growing at a police station. I guess some kids germinated some seeds and planted them all around outside the police station and the cops diddn't realize until the plants got to be like 2ft tall.

[ScrewU2]

The Johnny Appleseed of Pot was arested in Michigan and charged with 5,000 plants or some thing like that.
