Thanks Dave...there is none on our lot maybe because we did the dreaded total grubbing. But I will watch out for it! The thought came to me of the danger to people who are handclearing lots and may run into one of those traps...the first day here we showed up with our weedwacker and in we went....lucky for us no problems. Now I am concerned for the bulldozer people and the surveyers. And especially the innocent kids that may wonder into one of those traps. Yes, it does make me feel more comfortable with the eradication going on. I don't want it anywhere near me and my family. I guess i am quite niave and get in trouble because I just speak about experiences and what I believe. Yeah I am new to the area and it shows, but if its a custom and against the law then I say out with the custom. I will never agree that that stuff should be legal as well as other natural occuring plant based drugs. Heck life is tough enough without everyone hooked on any of that stuff. As far as using it for medicine...that may be what it is here for but that needs to be in the hands of the medical community. We live in a civilized society with laws to provide freedom to all. Works better than anything else I can think of.
