With my outdoor plant, I put fox urine around to fend off rabbits. It attracts deer though. Mine was right next to the house so I wasn’t real worried about deer, but I put some scrapings from a bar of ivory soap out there anyway. Lol.
Luckily I have only a rabbit to worry about, when I lived in V.T. it was skunks that lived near the bungalow that freaked me out, especially after a tipple or 2.
Yeah here in SA it's a bit more complex because very poor communities have for years taken the risk of growing to provide the local and international market with cannabis. They get screwed over by the cops and the buyers. Imagine getting sprayed with glyphosates over your whole house and garden by a crop duster on a monthly bases only to sell your flower at $0.05 cents per gram and it's resold at massive mark ups?
Now that it will finally be legal and these communities can live in peace and make a good living, big business is going to come in and smash the market. They will be relegated to tourism income mostly.
One upside is that they are starting to give out permits to traditional healers (who are called Sangomas here) for growing on large scale for prescription. They might be able to get a foot in the door by being able to set up before the big companies do.
Crazy thing is some of the communities are on incredibly fertile land and the weather is mostly suited for growing so they could pump out top shelf outdoor with just watering and some teas. Who wouldn't want to smoke organic cannabis grown almost in the wild with pure natural goodness?
Morning mr.Nooby...
Don't know if you've heard about the Cannabis Co-Operative that's running in Brits. Works same as Agri basically. But it's all within the grey area of the law though, still illegal to sell even though they buy it from you at face value, what you put is what you get out.
If the men in blue become interested you have some papers from BMCC ( co-op ) and BMCC will fight for you when it goes to court. 6000 applications to growers/farmers have been approved so far.
No thank you.
Interesting you mentioned Sangomas though. Met 2 white Sangomas ( witch doctors ) yesterday afternoon who popped in yesterday as the guys folks go to church with my folks and wanted to introduce me cause of our mutual interest in cannabis.
The couple have a website up which I knew about as they promote all that is healthy with cannabis and went to school here in my hometown...lol
Been arrested quite a few times for their growing and trading/commerce in oil and ointments which is where my interest lies in making my oil but they both stated that if your interests lay in commerce with cannabis a " traditional healers license " carrys more weight in regards to the legalities of selling cannabis/cannabis products even though it is inside the grey area and illegal till this day.
This is what corporate is trying to destroy as they know the power of traditional healers and the power that they wield in the community so as you say imagine if the poor could grow/enrich themselves the monopoly would topple.
