Get your marijuana and your bacon
« on: May 28, 2013, 01:42:37 PM »

Washington (State) is experimenting with how to dispose of the excess stems, roots and leaves from the legal marijuana growers.  One idea is to turn the weed waste into pig food.  Four pigs whose feed were supplemented with the weed waste in their last four months on this planet were 20 to 30 pounds heavier than the other six litter mates.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Herbally fed organic pig. What a marketing opportunity, probably get $2/lb more from the hippies.

Just recently saw an article regarding a study conjecturing chronic marijuana use with lack of weight gain (in humans).

As long as you seperate the seeds out, there is nothing "wrong" with composting.  Leave the seeds in and you have just built a hotbox for germinating them.

Pigs can digest cellulose, which is why they at least theoretically should fatten.  Given the similarities between pig and human brain, liver and pancreas, I would expect to see mellowed pork on the hoof.  Just don't believe we would get away with claiming  a "contact high" from digesting the fat which should be storing quite a bit of THC.  (Honest, judge, I had pork chops for dinner last night.)

OTOH, can you see pork being stored behind the meat counter and having to prove you are over 21 to buy it?  What if you bought it for dinner when company is coming?  That's going to get some write-up on the social page.  =D

stay safe.

stay safe.
