Back in the early 70s i was growing pot in my garden along the walls of my house in Copenhagen. Those plants grew more than 6 feet high and disturbed nobody - except some sensitive friends of mine, who claimed they got high inside the house: We had remote heating based on air circulation and the fresh air inlets were close to the plant's crowns in the garden, so... That said, sure, they did smell - of pot (sic!) - but I also tried to smoke it and make tea on it and you better have a great imagination to believe it turned you on in any way. Now of course, back then in CPH we had easy access to 'Black Afghanistan' (black sticky stuff, pure hash) as well as to 'Red Libanon' (pressed cakes of processed marihuana) and at least that black stuff did indeed give you an instant kick! Thus, at least compared to that my home grown plants were quite harmless :) So yes, I did try real hash twice or so, but first of all, I'm not a smoker, never have been. Next, on me it worked pretty much like 2-3 beers with the only difference being that it made me quite thirsty! That's why I decided to stick to my beer :) A year later, when I moved to Germany, I wisely left my hobby gardening behind me, because there back then like today they took pot very seriously and would have put me straight in the slammer for even a tiny little plant in the window. /Taro
