Enjoying an increasingly-rare walk during my lunch half-hour, I passed this little plant growing on Pearl Street right in Downtown Albany, and was struck by how familiar it looked. After sending it around to friends of mine who know about such matters, it was confirmed that this was a pot plant, growing in broad daylight right on one of the busier stretches of sidewalk, and I thought of how far we have come as a society.
Smoke ’em if you’ve got ’em.
Light it up.
Take a toke.
It’s all good. (And legal!)
(Oh, I was also informed that this one is not quite ready to harvest, so let’s just leave it be. Apparently we are looking for the buds. In all my years of gardening, there is still much to be learned.)
