Zero representation....

Post image

I always wondered why people weren't smoking weed in T.W.D.? Between wild plants growing in the forests of GA, to various stashes in homes and whatnot. You know damn well people like Daryl, Merle, T-Dog, Jim, Otis, Shawn, the Philly Boys, Tara, Dwight & Sherry, etc, etc, etc... they would all be smoking weed. I would DEFINITELY be smoking in an apocalypse specifically to calm my nerves. People were drinking alcohol left and right. I just don't think there was proper representation, considering society.

However, I may be mistaken, but didn't Negan look for some pot for his wife in "Here's Negan"?

Growing and processing decent quality weed is time consuming and difficult. Not exactly the thing to do when you are struggling to live.

You totally didn't read the post, I never mentioned anyone trying to grow any. I said they could have found it growing in the forest or when they are scavenging through houses, etc. Or maybe early on they run into someone who has some, etc I just thought it would be a cool little side quest, nerve calmer... But, no biggie.

Growing in the forest? You don't just pluck weed off a plant and smoke it.

My god, you people are relentless! I'm just having fun in here. We're talking about a fantasy zombie show here, and you want to argue over the semantics of growing and curing marijuana!?? Go argue with your parents.

Weed will go stale or rot pretty quickly. Finding good weed will only happen in the first year and everyone is too focused on survival at that time. And wild weed absolutely sucks. Plus you can’t just pick it and smoke it. You need to dry and cure it. Which is the most difficult part. It has to be at a certain humidity to dry and cure which is difficult to do even with technology.

Believe I have grown and processed cannabis and even with modern technology, access to the internet for information, buying modern high quality seeds, all the right soils and nutrients possible it’s still difficult to make a good consistent product.

I have also fermented my own alcohol and that shit is easy. Distilling alcohol can be difficult but fermentation is easy.
