Marijuana harvesting like you've never seen. Brought to you by the same folks that unpacked your iPhone (not really).

Cute shots, he's clearly had fun positioning the men and buds. I just wish he had done more with the light, making it more like sunlight, with better shadows, growing longer for each shot and perhaps sun slowly going down at the end shot.

He's going to submit this to a "major marijuana publication"?
I didn't think the New Republic accepted unsolicited manuscripts...

Just because it sounded like a good idea when you were high, doesn't mean you should follow through with it...

You got that right: I didn't see anything and I have no idea who those people are.

But god fuckin' bless 'em...

One day we should only be enlightened enough to engineer a tree-sized pot plant and grow them on every street in the nation.

Currently Flowering: Mystery BC

Currently vegging: Mumbles, Mystery BC seeds,Tangerine, Bog 1 x Rainbow 4, ECSD x Strawberry D and Bubblicious

Not quite as epic as the Napoleon MT sprouts, Bamboozle Z x Fairy Berry, Xacxac Hybrid Hydro, Walnut, Dapper Dino Silica 7, and Blue Popeye Fly crop of '03, but still very choice.

I most certainly do not. People who know things like that end up on the list.

So they harvest in the middle of winter? Or is the joke that they are so high they think it's summer?

It's amazing how much time and mental horsepower potheads spend thinking about dope.

When I get high I like to listen to old Glen Campbell albums.
Please advise.

How can you assume that we've never seen harvesting like that before?

Regardless of the subject, this is good art. I like it a lot. It's like the 'dream world of candy' in a lot of children's books. Or in the movie Pinocchio. But an adult version. Kinda like this:

Big rock candy mountain

Although it really would have benefited from a better ground texture. Something more dirtlike, less uniform. Also like dabitch said at the very beginning, more attention paid to lighting, position of the sun, the color of the light. Eh, all art has constraints. It's still great.
posted by Miles Long at 12:52 PM on May 21, 2008

But what has a dirtlike texture and won't ruin the buds? Because you know the guy posing the figures is stoned and probably feeling sorta clumsy.

The answer is kief. You'd need a fuckload, though.
