I mentioned about a month ago about finding a 2 L bag of red pot bud hairs on a bike path. There must be some industrial scale trimming operation. Today I spotted a garbage bag pile of leaf. I would have liked to find that when I was in High School.

It seems crazy this is getting thrown away-- even low grade weed would seem to be useful for making extracts, but maybe that's a flawed assumption. Just seems inefficient to waste it, after having invested the water and fertilizer and associated carbon footprint of growing it.
I had a friend who lived in Atlanta when I was in high school, and I remember visiting him unexpectedly during a trip to Florida. We both lamented the fact that we had nothing to smoke, because we were both frequent smokers at the time.
He then said, "Oh, wait a minute. I threw some seeds way back in the yard back in May. Maybe some of them grew."
What we found were several scraggly but very tall marijuana trees. Being idiot high school kids, we instantly chopped them down and dried them in the oven-- all leaf, no seeds, no buds, not mature.
It was very interesting-- it had a very pleasant effect, with little of the heaviness and sleepiness of the South American product we were used to-- a low ceiling, meaning it didn't do more if smoked a lot of it, but it did have a vague and pleasant visual, psychedelic edge. The effects only lasted 45 minutes, but when you smoked again, it was pretty took you back to the same place immediately with no apparent tolerance effect, so we smoked it instead of cigarettes for the entire weekend and had very entertaining conversations and adventures.
