Vancouver pot activist calls for open cultivation of cannabis plants
A cannabis plant in every yard?
That could be the slogan for Dana Larsen’s Overgrow Canada pot-seed campaign. The marijuana advocate led a project this year to give away 5 million cannabis seeds this year; last year he and his colleagues gave away 2.5 million. “We’re encouraging people to plant them openly,” he said Sunday. “The goal is to normalize cannabis growing.”
It’s a continuation of a civil disobedience campaign, following on from the growth of bong shopsand dispensaries in many communities across Canada. A cannabis plant found growing in a flower bed at Vancouver City Hall. Dana Larsen / Overgrow Canada
One of his contacts spotted a pair of cannabis plants growing in the flower beds around Vancouver city hall. That was a great thing to see, he said. “I want to be in a country where growing a plant in your front is a common thing,” he said. Cannabis plants growing wild aren’t any more dangerous than other plants he pointed out. “I look at my yard, there’s morning glory taking over — it’s actually hallucinogenic,” he said. “So don’t feel there’s any concern about that. There’s no harm being near a cannabis plant.” “Munching on a cannabis bud, nothing’s going to happen at all. It’s not actually nice to chew on, it’s not like a bright red berry that grows everywhere and is toxic to kids.” SOURCE Save
