LNT, as in leave no trace of pristine wilderness! It isn't all the War on Drugs, it also has something to do with demand, and a lack of concern by consumers.
Those are good points, CDF.
a lot of the "farms" in our area end up totally trashed by the (mostly illegals)
'gardeners', who, are left there, not even knowing where they are, not speaking the language, and, being told to guard and take care of it, "or else"............
they leave so much garbage, waste, overusing fertilizers and chemicals, destruction.....dang them............poaching game for food.
I'm sort of surprised, by the reaction, or, lack thereof, from a lot of the "hemp" society towards this problem.
A lot of folks demonstrate against corporations who pollute, clearcut, whatever.......and, these 'growers' are doing the same thing. Scale may be different, but, not the actions...........
But, no one says anything or goes out and demonstrates, or whatever.
I'd say, because, since they're growing pot, they overlook these actions, because, they like what is produced...........and, fear getting killed if entering the area.....
Seems somewhat hypocritical.........
UD:
a lot is grown indoors, but, I'd bet the vast majority is on public lands.......
And, I agree with you, it's about getting high, for a lot of folks.......
Understand, I'm totally for legalization, as I've stated elsewhere.
