James ,   San Diego, USA   (05.23.06)
Let me educate you, hyrdroponically grown marijuana does not alter the plant's potency. Soil or Hydro, it is irrelavent. Good genetics are responsible for the higher potency of Marijuana today. And being a medical marijuana patient I can tell you, only a 14 year old would hallucinate after smoking any pot.

Hey, if Israelis and Palestinians want to STOP THE ENDLESS KILLING, it's a piece of cake. Share your best "Death Marijuana" (ha-ha!) with each other, "get high," and try to help each other UNDERSTAND what all of the fighting is about??? PEACE! I'm serious. GOD IS LOVE

43. Sickly looking plants
Roger ,   Sebastopol, USA   (05.25.06)
This garden appears to have been abandoned, judging by the health and size of the plants in the photos. Real hydroponic gardens have large, lush green plants.
44. LOL

cummon people get the facts straight hydro is the best, if the potential criminals could grow their own, where would your argument go? up in smoke! g_d gaves all the green herbs to use as we see fit! - according to you its ok to work shabbat while eating bacon.....
45. BULL!!!
James ,   T.A., Israel   (07.01.06)
Hydro is a higher quality, it is grown under strict conditions, does not have insecticides, like the ditchweed you find on the streets, And halucinatory?!?! What the hell is that about? In all my years using this product, never, I mean, NEVER have I halucinated!!!
46. This makes our media look ridiculous
Baaska ,   Dallas, TX   (08.17.06)
Marijuana's effects and adverse reactions are very well-documented. This article is so clearly and blantantly intended to disinform that anyone who knows the truth about the plant in question (and let's face it... globally, there are a lot of us) cannot help but call into question the veractiy of not only this piece, but of other news reports. Anything that is designed to obscure truth for political purposes is plainly wrong. It's absurd to demonize a plant that all evidence points to as a fairly benign substance when compared to, say, alcohol or the majority of over the counter health remedies. However, the implications of this practice are far more severe than an attempt to threaten the liberty of harmless stoners. The problem is that this sort of thing may well result in a complete disintegration of any last, lingering verstiges of respect that the world may harbor for the media in developed countries. It breaks my heart.
47. Death Grass?
A. Rizzi ,   New York, USA   (08.31.06)
Are you kidding me with the term "Death Grass"? There have been NO deaths directly related to marajuana consumption anywhere in the world. many people will argue with my statement and say well yes people have died due to marajuana consumption because they crashed there car while on cannibis. Well this is not a valid death related to marajuana as an overdose. It is VERY IMPROBABLE and NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE that someone can overdose from smoking pot. You are creating your own "Refeer Madness" propaganda campaign. If governments around the world keept the sale of marajuana illegal but allowed people to grow up to 5 plants for them selves THAT WOULD DESTROY the illegal underground drug trade for pot. Cannibis is not deadly and to call it "death grass" is just idiotic, but what can you expect from people who have NO IDEA what they are talking about. Thank You
48. False "facts" from the Israeli police
Daniel ,   New York, USA   (06.22.07)
Is anyone fact checking police statements like the one in this article: “If in regular grass the active ingredient is 13 percent, in Hydro it is five or six times more,” senior police official Yaron Ahrak said." The truth is that research shows the highest THC content found in cultivated marijuana is somewhere in the range of 25% to 30% (not 65% to 78%! as the Israeli police claim) and this is from tests done by the leading canabis cultivators in the world, the Dutch. The police are using scare tactics to try and stop a wave of change that is inevitable. If you can buy it legally in many states in the US, Canada and The Netherlands today, does anyone doubt that it will one day be legal throughout the world? Notice that several MKs are already calling for legalization for medical purposes. The Israeli police are demonizing a plant, rather than calling for its legalization so that cultivation, potency and distribution can be properly regulated and controlled, along with socialization of its proper use, including honestly educating children as to the real benefits and dangers of its use. Marijuana will one day, no doubt, bring much wealth and increased well being to Israel. I can't think of anywhere that could use a natural way to relax more than Israel.
49. israeli marijuana madness
seth ,   israel   (09.29.07)
very easy over here to get a kilo of shit seeded shag. we need to contact a bedioune and gamble with our life going to arab villages to get rubbish weed! no one ever died from marijuana let alone HYDRO... grow your own and stop supporting dealers---war on dealers=not on growers for personal use!!!!
50. DEATH MARIJUANA
USER420 ,   Texas, U.S.A   (07.22.09)
Death Marijuana ,that is typical of goverments to say that, to make it sound worst than what it really is Hydroponic Marijuana is more potent and expensive but it will not lead to higher crime people will be TOO stoned to commit a crime and it is not a stimilating drug like cocaine that when sober you have to have it or find ways (crime) to come up with the cash to get the drug
51. Correction
J ,   London   (07.17.17)
Hydro is just herbs soaked with research chemicals. Don't get it confused with hyroponically grown plants.
