Once upon a time we would never use a spray. But as time went by and we became less able to care for everything, sprays became more attractive.

Now we seldom use sprays, but we do use them for weeds that are hard to get rid of--like poison oak and thistles. And we do spray a few feet into our neighbor's yards if they haven't cared for the weeds and the seeds are blowing in our yards. (Though we would never spray near a garden.)

This has never been a problem because our neighbors aren't the gardening type, and we only spray a bit. My husband prefers to weedwhack the area before the seeds are mature, then rake the seeds up, which wouldn't work with dandelions.

So I would ask you to understand that even a young man can get overwhelmed when they see seeds blowing into their yard from yours.

I think the idea of a solid fence is a good one. It will allow you to enjoy dandelions and other weeds without the seeds blowing into your neighbor's yard.

Remember-- Love your enemies. It will drive them crazy.

Well I agree with Daisy Dew. However, I laughed at the idea with miracle grow!

Is this yet another path of ethnobotany you are promoting? Botanicals as weapons of physical assault to settle non-life threatening neigborhood disputes?

Very, very spiritual insights into conflict resolution you are offering.

(This is the person kalico is holding up as a teacher for all of us ignorant bumpkins.)

It was a joke dude.

I think you need to get off your high horse.

Since you haven't established a positive identity in this forum--how could we tell?

Alright, well sorry.

In all seriousness I would suggest you just go knock on his door and talk to him.

Good response--most of us here are pretty peaceful most of the time--just give us some time to get used to you--and you to us--and we'll get along fine I think.

Strange. I don't recall nor can I find where I commented on this thread at all Whayne. If you're not interested or willing to learn why not just hit the ignore button?
But since I'm here, I'm awfully glad I don't live next door to you folks who think it's perfectly okay to spray poisons on your neighbor's property if they have "weeds" that you don't like.

I was referring to your rather pompous post in the mind-altering plant advocate's thread where she was pushing her products.

I learned enough in the 60's watching a bunch of other little shaman-wannabes offer up any number of justifications for getting high. She's not offered anything worth taking seriously, in my opinion.

No one here is advocating letting a neighbor's poison drift into our yards. Just warning against taking felonious actions as two people here have suggested.

I don't advocate getting high and ****ing every one you met and going crazy.

The hippies went overboard.

I advocate using plant-drugs which have a long history of human usage (most over 2000 years old) for learning, not taking a bunch of LSD-25 and partying.

I highly doubt you have ever used peyote or Ayahuasca. The damn hippies in the 1960s hadn't even heard of Ayahuasca.

Enjoy riding your large horse.

Don't kid yourself. You're not the least bit different than anyone I've met over the past 40 something years, all with their own reasons for using mind-altering drugs, all on a "spiritual path," all lobbying for their own drug of choice to be made legal because they want it to be and all drawing some imaginary line in the sand to show everyone that you're really very responsible because "those drugs over there are bad and I don't like them."

Timothy Leary lived near me in the 1960s and his arguments for the use of LSD were very much the same. Now here, it's your botanical drugs that are good and you're proud to show off photos of your peyote plants in these forums and then "take the high" road to let us know that chemical drugs like LSD are bad? My, how very organic of you.

Give me a strung-out heroin addict any day for honesty. No stories there. There's no "my drug is ok because it's spiritual and your drug is very very bad and should be illegal" horse crap. I don't really care what you do with your life or how you live it. But enough of the horse crap here.

Time to hit the ignore button on you. You offer little of value. Maybe the new moderator can set up a forum for you about raising illegal drugs by the organic method if that's what people want. Or they could go over to the High Times website.

If alcohol is legal than cannabis and the other psychoactive botanicals should be as well.

Either that or alcohol should be illegal, which would be fine with me.

Alcohol is one of the worse drugs of all time, it's up there with heroin, meth and cocaine.

I didn't say LSD-25 was bad but it doesn't have a long enough history of human usage to prove to me that it's safe, on the other hand things like Ayahuasca and Peyote are proven scientifically to be safe and they both have 5000 years of history to back this up (10,000 years in the case of Ayahuasca).

Enough of your horse crap, your probably drinking a beer and popping pharmaceutical "anti-depressants" (NARCOTICS) as we speak!

I bet you've never even heard of Ayahuasca, much less looked into it or tried it.

I have heard of Ayahuasca. That stuff will pop you permanently loose.

The fact is--Alcohol IS legal and "cannabis and the other psychoactive botanicals" aren't. Whether they should or should not be is a moot point until and unless the law is changed.
