I personally think pot would be great for a pain reliever, calming nerves, anti naseua, and I'm sure a few other things. I would really feel bad for big pharm. if they sold less Prozac and addictive pain meds! What kind of plants are they banning?

Just curious, how much was where there is no animal dr.? Sounds like it may be a handy guide to have.

$22 on Amazon, it's a good book, strictly based on farm animals, its not a cat and dog book, very little about domesticated house pets. The merck book covers that for us though that book is like $55 for the 10th edition

In my book, if it is good for you and it helps keep one healthy then it has medicinal value I like all three, peppermint has another useful purpose, dissolving peppermint in water and spraying around your sleeping area on the ground keeps critters (insects) from using you for the warmth at night

like that,didn't know of that use..know now..thanks for a good tip Maverick

We have centipede's here and they hurt and possibly take you out of action for a couple of days, the peppermint spray works except for the jumping slug then your just SOL on that one

So this week, where to start.....

I found out that a large amount of our family's medical supplies is out of date. I started to put money aside for preps. Been learning quiet a bit about a few different topics.

That's really nuts to try and stop people from growing an herb or spice!

I was at Walmart and they had the black powder supplies on sale! (End of season) I got my 50cal. Thompson center fire last year and was able to buy primers and pellets, but they were out of shots for it. This was the first time I have seen them on the shelf so I got 45 of the pointed sabots, and 40 of the 50 cal hollow points. I also grabbed 5 more arrows that were on sale too. I still haven't shot the muzzle loader, now that I have some shots I guess I need to.

Funny, I guess everyone has something that crawls under their skin. Centipedes don't bother me at all, I kind of think there cool. I can even pick up a rattle snake with bare hands, (and a stick). Furry spiders are a different thing though. Nasty little buggars! I'm even ok with them, till they are actually on me, then I scream like a little girl!

so glad we don't have anything with 8-legs that are venomous here..you should have seen me 10 yrs ago....spiders....eeeeeeeeeeeek
