Don’t even think of growing Medical Marijuana on Federal Land!
There are millions of acres available on Federal land for hiking, fishing, camping, and just grooving on Nature. In the past, many individuals saw the free land as an opportunity to cultivate Marijuana, avoiding the risk of arrest for growing on their own land. Soon, a plant here or there, became an acre or more worth millions of dollars in high grade weed. Now, an average medicinal toker, may look to the woods for some herbal relief, don’t!
The woods, forests, hills, and mountains are for the clandestine criminal element, just as in Prohibition days of the Rum Runners. The movie, “Homegrown” pointed out elements of these operations, and in reality, the growing of pot on Federal land is illegal, unsafe, and eco-unfriendly. Once Marijuana is legitimized, perhaps as in Prohibition days, the Federal land thing will subside- until then; one should avoid the Redwoods for several reasons.
First, the farming element in the woods is of a criminal nature. These individuals, many linked to organized drug cartels, are using shotgun trip-wire, booby traps, automatic assault weapons, lions, and anything else to protect their investments. One Northern Cali inmate on a forest-fire response team states, “the fires aren’t anything compared to the hazards surrounding the crops of these pot farmers on Federal land.” Many innocent hikers have come face to face with an Eagle .50 caliber pistol in their faces, just for venturing too close to the buds.
Secondly, the eco-system of the rural environment is very fragile. There isn’t much that we can do, once an imbalance has been created by our ignorance. Herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers are being imported into the woods at alarming rates, ruining many eco-systems and threatening wild life as well. Bambi cannot sip from water tainted with concentrations of fertilizer, and live happily ever after. Many streams are dammed, or diverted to illegal crops for a water source. Down stream salmon can only wonder why spawning has become so stressful, and people expect unadulterated H-2-0 also.
Finally, growing Medical Marijuana away from your land, or “guerilla farming”, is not for the faint of heart. An indoor garden, greenhouse, or inter-cropped back yard, will provide all of the Medical Marijuana your little heart desires – or whatever your State limit on plants is. You do not want to contribute to the destruction of America’s natural resources while growing American, plus you’ll eliminate the paranoia of your crop being “out there” for grabs.

If you have older furniture in your home and you are tired of it, you can revive it by giving it a new look and a new purpose in life. Frequently, these older pieces of furniture get stuck in closets and attics and are all but forgotten, however with just a little imagination, you can put these well built and sturdy pieces of furniture to work for you in other places in your home. If you have a contemporary home, re-purposing a single piece of vintage furniture and adding it to your space can create a beautiful focal point for your room. By re-purposing an old piece of furniture not only are you making your room beautiful, but you are also doing your part for reducing waste and living green.
Freshen with New Fabric
Sometimes all a piece of furniture needs to bring it up to date is new fabric. Frequently upholstery can become dingy and worn, or the print may just go out of style. Color trends change, and what is stylish this year will certainly look dated in a few years. So you can sometimes revive a piece of older furniture by simply recovering it. Changing the fabric on a piece of furniture may be as simple as recovering a chair cushion, adding a slipcover or it may be a little more technical like reupholstering the entire piece. You can recover your furniture yourself, or you may choose to have a professional do it for you. If you choose to do it yourself, you can find patterns and instructions at your local library as well as by browsing online.
Refinish or Repairing
If you are working with a piece of wooden furniture, you are probably working with a surface that is less than perfect. You can fill divots with wood putty before painting, or you can embrace the distressed look of the piece. Sometimes the patina that age gives to a piece of furniture just makes it that much more interesting to look at. However, when you are re-purposing a piece of furniture, your imagination really is the only thing holding you back. For example, you can take a simple, little dresser that is being kicked aside and turn it into an eye-catching vanity for your bathroom.
Just Rearrange
Sometimes you do not need to do anything to your piece of furniture other that relocate it. If you have an old dresser in your bedroom that you are no longer using, why not re-purpose it as a buffet in your dining room. Not only will it look great, but it will also add storage and function to your dining room. And, if you have a mismatched chair in your dining room, why not bring it into the bedroom and use it at your vanity table. You can also use old dining room chair to make interesting side tables for your bed. They can add symmetry and interest to your bedroom space, especially if you do not have a headboard.

When you are considering how to finish the outside of your house, you may want to consider the advantages of stucco versus vinyl siding. While the first one certainly is an attractive finish for your home, it does require maintenance and repair, while the second one is virtually carefree. Frequently the choice of whether to maintain an old stucco finish or simply cover it with vinyl siding simply depends on how much maintenance the old stucco finish needs.
Understanding Stucco
Even though stucco does require maintenance, there are some advantages to having a stucco finish on your home. First of all it is attractive and durable. A stucco finish on your home gives it a very distinctive style. It is resilient, and even though it may need maintenance, it is generally pretty low maintenance. Stucco also helps to insulate your home making it more energy efficient. Many areas of the country prefer stucco homes, and having a real stucco home adds resale value to your house. Some stucco is applied using a concrete mixture over a wood or wire lath. It is first coated with an acrylic polymer making it weather resistant, and it helps to minimize cracking in the stucco. There are also new materials that are used in construction today where a Styrofoam based stucco product is sprayed onto a fiberglass mesh and foam board creating stucco panels. This newer stucco costs more than the original concrete stucco, but it has superior insulation qualities.
All About Vinyl Siding
As you are considering which product will best suit your home, remember that vinyl siding has some good qualities of its own. It is almost maintenance free, and it comes in a huge array of colors. It is not painted; instead the color goes all the way through the siding. Newer versions of vinyl siding are much improved over its predecessors in that modern siding has better color, and it is more durable and flexible. This home finish is extremely weather resistant, and it does not rust, crack or deteriorate. An occasional hose washing is pretty much the only maintenance that it requires, and many people consider it one of the best home finishes available.
Which is Best?
As you are considering which finish is right for our home, you may want to remember that while vinyl siding is virtually care free, the original concrete stucco is far less expensive to apply. However, when you compare your costs over the years and factor in maintenance costs, then vinyl siding may not actually be more expensive at all. Finding a contractor to install vinyl siding will be easier than finding one to install stucco, but regular stucco does add a warmth, style and charm to a home that you just do not get with vinyl siding. So if you have a stucco home, and you are trying to decide if you should repair it or simply cover it with vinyl siding, unless it has a lot of extensive damage, the most economical solution will be to repair it.
