Introductions

Hello, all you good people! I have thought of all you while we were apart and hoped that y'all were well and happy.

In case y'all don't remember, I'm just a simple country girl. I live in North Carolina in the country near a small country town. I'm a retired librarian; I have two sons, one granddaughter, one grandson, one great granddaughter, and one great grandson named Bubba. 😉

I'm doing OK; still on top of the dirt. I'm having eye problems but I guess that's part of being a fossil.

Good; except for the "eye problems", Marie had a stroke, because of young and dumb Drs, she went to with her really high BP. They told her to take the liserpril as soon as she filled it, and she did, as they said, it brought it down too fast, and she stroked out, I caught her before she hit the floor, then she kept trying to get up, but I made her stay down. Was going to dial 911, but she wanted me to take her to the emergency room instead, which I did. What I'm getting at is; it fried her peripheral vision, for ever, the eye Dr told us, after doing a bunch of exams on her, and she suffers with it all the time. So sorry, to hear you're dealing with eye problems too. :)

I would like to try growing marijuana plants for health use because I have also read about how helpful it is. There are so many different types of this plant , and some are developed for the parts that get people high, but others are more for the healing attributes, and people use those for ointments or as green smoothies, and other additions to their diet. I have no idea if they have legalized growing it here or not, but they probably will eventually if it is not already.

There are apparently places where it still grows wild as hemp in areas where hemp was grown commercially for rope years ago. There are advertisements from the WW2 time where farmers were encouraged to grow hemp.
If you search YouTube for hemp ww2, it shows some of the old films made about growing it, and the uses they had for hemp back then.

I think I posted in the past as my wife's grandfather grew hemp for rope during WWII in Iowa. It still grows wild there, and when I worked in Illinois, the medical students would pick hemp plants as they played golf. They would come off the course with their bags stuffed to the brim with the plants or the cutting (depending on the season). There was not enough THC in those plants to make a difference, so they manufactured hashsish in the basement of their apartments.

I can’t change where it says new member to SOC Alumni, so maybe only you can do that , Ken ? Or I didn’t know how to find where to do it ?

Invision Power Board had the same "Rule". But you could create the forum you want and then automatically move people out of the New Member group to the new one. You may be able to do something like that. But if it is possible, what if new members were not old members? Another possibility might be allowing people to select what member group they want to be in. But if you can do that, there's downsides to that too. I don't know the XenForo Admin CP so I can't say what you can or can not do.

I am willing to dig through the Docs and see what I can find, if you like.

Aka, Illinois Ditch Weed. Virtually no THC at all. There was an abandoned Hemp Rope factory near where I grew up, and there was wild Hemp all over the place. We used to play there until a kid fell and broke his leg, and the health department had it boarded up.

Hemp will grow just about anywhere, and it grows very quickly. If you have a good full spectrum grow light, you can grow it all year round. It has about a two month cycle. I don't known the light schedule for Hemp, but for high THC weed, you set timers to allow the lights to run for 18 hours a day for about 6 weeks, and then switch to 12 hours a day when you want it to flower, about 2 weeks.
