    While driving on 215 towards 108. I notice strong scent of weed. Apparently Gorman farms is growing hemp. There are hundreds of plants in the field.

    Can anybody confirm?

    Mr. Pugh, the man who farmed that land since I was a kid, is probably rolling over in his grave.

    I did not know you could get CBD from Hemp, but I know nothing about it.
    I was under the impression hemp was cultivated for ropes/fibers, etc.
    Not that I am against CBD or anything which might help people, period.
    It's certainly not the poison of synthetic drugs, for starters.
    It is a derivative of a plant, no?

    22 gallons per acre is what I read.

    I know exactly where you’re talking about. I drove past and though I saw marijuana plants but thought that I was surely wrong. Guess not totally wrong!

    I just learned last week that yet another acquaintance is in the MJ business. Equipment sales and consulting. I told him a story from my days in Purchasing (marine) and he mentioned a deal he got for a client. A $22K trimmer for $18K. removes everything from the stalk and went to an Eastern Shore farmer. He's on my shooting team, pool that is, and has been a shooter but gunless now. He brags of his shooting prowess so I will be taking him out to my pot whoops haha soy bean/steel target field.


    Full Disclosure: I have no pot field ... the season is over lol, no, but I will be talking to the local farmers about this! 22 gal. of CBD oil from an acre! However, CBD oil has been banned from equestrian sports.

    I am not sure of the specifics, but Lance died, my understanding is that he willed that land to 4-H, and the program then resold it for quite a hefty sum of cash. I think the stipulation was that it stay farm land, which I guess it technically still is.
