Last summer, a legal pot plant named for the Roanoke College Maroons came out champs in metro columnist Dan Casey’s backyard marijuana competition. Subsequently, the college launched a first-in-the-commonwealth Cannabis Studies program. A coincidence?
Last year three pot plants named after area politicians yielded roughly five gallons of trimmed wacky tobacky buds. This year’s bumper crop – named after area college sports teams – looks like it will yield substantially more.
Two of Metro columnist Dan Casey s expensive feminized seeds failed to spout. And his biggest plant turned out to be a male had had to kill. Otherwise, the 2023 marijuana growing season has been peachy.
