For various reasons I dip in and out of a newsgroup for dedicated
cannabis growers.

While there is a surprising spread of political views, there's defintely
a more left-leaning, green bias. Loads of claptrap spouted about how we
all need to be using renewables ya-di-dah.

When it gets too much, you can shut them up by pointing out that
no-one in the history of every has gone off-grid to grow cannabis ...


Plenty have here. Obviously its grown outside, not in grow houses.

I saw the excellent Marcus Brigstocke recently, who suggested that since
Michael Gove is so down with experts, the next time he needs dental
treatment, he practice what he preaches and ditches the expert dentist,
and go to Eric from the tyre fitters ... who is raring for his first case.


He's just down on a particular sort of expert that hasnt got a damned
thing right in more than a century now. Not all experts in any field.
