Indeed. The author chooses 4 plants to study (4 chapters): apples, potatoes, tulips, and cannabis.

I highly recommend the book. (no pun intended)

ditto the book. not sure if johnny appleseed smoked weed or not, but the apple section in said book has one of the most complete biographical treatments on him extant. i also highly highly recommend reading it. puns emphasized for emphasis.

my state allows medical marijuana use and growing, but it seems like a lot of folks doing it get robbed so i'm disinclined to apply. go figure.

Thanks, both, for the thumbs up, sounds just like me. Soon the OZ$ will be on a par with the falling USA dollar so I might hit my wish list on Amazon!

That is an "unintended consequence" !

...Investigators said uprooted marijuana plants and a .40 caliber pistol were found in the SUV.

Police said Nick Gonzalez has a valid Oregon Medical Marijuana Growers license and had recently harvested some plants from a small growing operation located in an outbuilding on the Damascus property.

The uprooted plants allegedly taken in the burglary had not been harvested but were described as “mature.”

The suspect in custody was identified as Steven Ronald Pickard, 31, of southeast Portland. He faces charges including robbery, burglary and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. His bail was set at $280,000.

He is being held in the Clackamas County Sheriff's jail. Officers continue to look for the other suspect.
