I think there might be one or two more primitive places like Danger Island that don't have yoo-niversal health care yet, but who needs it when you got witch doctors like us and rich doctors like them? You can go home with a massive medical bill or with a shrunken head; take your pick.....
Oddly enough, I had an experience like that.
A few years ago, I woke up too early with a pounding headache at the base of my skull, and a sudden inability to make words - just squawking sounds and gagging when I tried to speak. So, after a few minutes, I agreed that wife should drive me to emergency. In a flash, I had three people around me working, a concerned doctor, and tests to be done. I got downed out, prodded, poked and Cat scanned twice, then an MRI. By the end of the day I was in a room, with an IV that made me pee every hour, and feeling jus' fine, speaking normally. Tick tock, tick tock. The next day, they still hadn't found anything and were ready for another day of MRI and testing. I was fine to go home and said so. They didn't come get me for any more tests, but they didn't come to check me out either. So around 5PM I pulled off the monitor patches, unplugged the IV, got dressed and waited to get checked out. But nooooo. The fuggers had just been humoring me, wouldn't take out the IV line, so I actually had to argue with them, explaining that I didn't have insurance, and that I'd have medicare in another year and I couldn't afford this right now, didn't need to be billed for yet another day in the hospital. I kid you not, it took an hour. I had three people from various departments watching me shout at them. Finally, a head nurse said if I could get my BP down under 170 she'd sign off on it. I did, and she did, and I managed to get my ass out of there. Scary!In the end, they billed me $27,000, but readily agreed to waive 100%, I imagine partially because they couldn't find anything wrong with me. After all. Just sayin', fer pete's sake.
A couple chiropractors (Ziggy and Doc, in fact) later told me it was likely from a pinched nerve where my neck ached that was causing my vocal chords to spasm. The fancy hospital staff with the fancy gadgetry forgot to account for that. Oops.
I ain' complaining about the level of attention and care, though. It was an amazing thing to watch them work - focused and experienced, searching for "the answer". It's just that ... who was responsible for that fubar?
Is anyone ever accountable? Do we all just pay more because they chase wild rabbits sometimes? Did they even spend that much on me, or is it all smoke and mirrors?So, yeah ... we got rich and witch, both I guess.
27,000? Wtf! That’s more than I earn in two years of selling magic squirrel hide charms and dried roots and berries. I’m sorry my American brothers.
Last time I went to the doctor here I just went right in and said- ‘I’m here to see the doctor’.
The lady was like ‘Which doctor?’
I was like ‘No just the normal doctor please’.
Turned out to be just a little prick with a needle. A free little prick with a needle though.

I know what you guys mean. My doctor's a little prick with a needle too. Not a free one, though.....

With the pandemic going on it's a wake call for everyone to have healthcare. Instead of feeding the greedy pharm ceo's . Hopefully our healthcare will get upgraded like our northern neighbors someday

We learned not to expect that here on Danger Island. Our greatness came straight from the exploitation of our underclass, but the greed that arose from this ran the island into a twenty-three trillion dollar deficit (approximately). It's not going anywhere soon.
Maybe I'll buy me an overproduced surplus respirator in a few months and try to make an electric bong out of it.

After all that and twenty-seven grand, they "stabilize" you and send you home. Exact same experience that someone I deal with on my job had. Nothing found. Three days on intravenous antibiotics. No diagnosis of anything in the outpatient summary or discharge paperwork. Luckily this person had insurance.
Hundreds of years later, the only thing that's working as far as this pandemic goes is the same thing that people did out of fear back then; isolate from each other. Good thing we spent twenty-three trillion dollars educating our white elitist chimps to become doctors. Now after years of expensive..... oops, I meant to say intensive research, we've discovered that it's not the wrath of God. Painting a cross on your door with lamb's blood only seems to be helping some people; we'll be doing expensive research on that soon.

Wanna buy a magic squirrel-hide charm they’re on sale this month. Absorb bad energies. Fluffy. For special price I can stitch them together into a roll.

Can you make me a coronavirus mask out of one? Try to make sure the a$$hole on the squirrel hide is right where my lips are so I can stick a blunt through the hole and smoke! I used to smoke brickweed, so I won't mind the taste.
Oh yes certainly. That’d be a special order. Now,..... you should know that most squirrel butt holes are quite small....But you’re in luck. cause I think I know a guy...
Yes yes, hmmmm.... but I’ll have to approach the subject carefully.
This may cost a little.
But it’ll be worth it!
Picture your peace of mind, when you finally have the magic protection of that lucky squirrel charm- right up next to your lips, carefully insert that big blunt, and finally know that all is well in the world. At last!

This is my X18 Pure Pakistani plant. I'm not sure how Cannabis Afghanica should look exactly, but I was thinking that it would be kind of leafy (like this plant):
I'm just having a hard time remembering how the mother plant to these seeds looked; here's one of the Cannabis Afghanica x Apollo 13 f2 plants I'm growing now:
I remember that the mother was pretty frosty, but I don't remember the frost going out onto the leaf margins in the same way.

Pineapple Express (I need to be keeping my eye out for grey mold on this one; it's thick):

Looking good brother! Is the pineapple Express prone to issues

No, but any time in the past that I've grown a main cola bigger than an empty toilet paper tube (remember those?) this time of year, I have bud rot issues. I have better airflow now (and a sulfur evaporator), but it doesn't solve the problem completely.

There's a lot of dampness in the air here during the Spring.

I hear ya my lung room has a big ass dehumidifier running it's ass off. Good thing it's plumbed to my crock
Yeah I’d barely be able to grow anything without my dehumidifier, even though it’s not big-ass it’s just big enough to keep me on the the good side of borderline.
400 watts, but I run it on a timer during lights off when there’s no power conflict.

I had to stick a 4" flex duct into the end of the 8" flex duct coming out of my inline fan (output side), then run the 4" flex duct to my drying closet to get warm output air flowing through; eight days on the drying rack and the buds were still as damp as they were the second day.
A dehumidifier is very good for that too. I have it set for 60- can leave my bud in the drier (which is a box in the drying room) indefinitely and it shouldn’t get any drier than 60 - unless we have a dry spell in the local weather which hardly ever happens.

Ever see that product "dampp ridd"? I wonder if one of those would work. My electric bill is maxed.
