no i said:


"i'm enjoying growing those "dark green" goodies in my garden...

i'd grow some cannabis too, if my wife would let me."


meaning:

i like to garden and in my garden i am growing the dark green, high chlorophyll content vegetables of which you were speaking.

i called them "goodies" because i know we both agree they are good for your health.

what i didnt say is that in addition to the vegetables i also grow my own herbs: parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, mint, etc.

btw, cannabis is one of the few herbs that has green flowers:



knowing that you ride and anti-marijuana hobby horse here i added that i would also grow some cannabis if it were not for my wife's objection.

i consider cannabis a "goodie"; and i also believe it has health benefits.

i'm not alone here since you can find prominent Drs. who also believe this like Dr. Grinspoon Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

you can read his History of Cannabis as Medicine here:

you can read for free the entire MEDICAL WORLD book from 1904 here:

all you need to do is put cannabis in the search box and read about all the cannabis based tinctures that were prescribed.
