    Greetings button brothers! I’m here in Cochise county, member of the peyote church in Graham county. I too am obsessed with the giant saguaro gods 🌵 they’re just full of power and wonder! I just started my peyote seeds last June and it’s been exhilarating to watch them grow. I look forward to the day I can partake of the sacred button that I’ve had the pleasure of watching grow. My main desire is to conserve this sacred medicine and hope to harvest many seeds, thank you for your service and knowledge sharing.

    Leo is a very intelligent person. I'd love to collaborate with him. And I just donated to the MSC. I'm really glad to see the NAC warming up to the idea of cultivating plants and using cultivated plants. That wasn't always the case.

    I was struck by the large footprint of wind farms. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people whose ancestors came from Europe saying well there’s nothing out there. It’s just desert.
    I think even in well meaning people, and even in people of various backgrounds there’s this legacy of what ‘valuable land’ is in the imagination. it’s green and lush like a temperate zone in Europe or like the rich forests of the north.
    I think it’s a legacy of colonization in our collective imagination.
    We imagine that the value of the earth is the same in every spot (and that if what we’ve been trained to value is absent, there isn’t another valuable thing there ). that its resilience is similar that it has to say similar things.
    But if we truly appreciate the diversity of human cultures that grew out of these diverse ecosystems, then we understand how truly unique these different voices of the earth can be .
    Thank you for the work you do 💚

    Legalizing "Canabis", in Canada has made it worse in many respects!

      How so?

    • @markheppleston478
      @markheppleston478 9 місяців тому +1

      The worst thing that I have encountered is "un pure" Canabis products! As in Chemicals added. Presumably to enhance growth time and potency. In order to meet demand much of the flower sold is grown hydroponically. This weed stinks! There are alot of changes that have taken place. Not all bad. Lots are very bad. Too many to lay out here!

      Don’t poach from the wild, order seeds or mature plants from reputable dealers online.
