Facebook's 'Pot Farm' Game Nears 500,000 Growers
May 25, 2010 - eastbayexpress.com
 Facebook's game "Farmville" is like a bad case of herpes that rapidly spread across the entire site, causing millions of people to start emitting annoying, pustule-like updates of "So and so bought a cow." With 82.4 million active users, FarmVille's an unstoppable force of nature from San Francisco company Zynga, who's making $50 million a month off people buying fake crap for their fake farm. Props to them. Never one to let a bandwagon go un-jumped-on, cannabis aficionados can waste their own time with "Pot Farm", a trending new Facebook game with almost 500,000 players. Monday, "Pot Farm"s spokesperson "Uncle Floyd" answered some questions in a cute little Q/A on SocialTimes.com. Highlights after the jump:
The game is 21 and older because:
We don’t want to shock or upset anyone, man. Pot is really pretty mainstream, and a lot of people who don’t smoke it still think it should be legal and they really think it’s funny to grow it in a game.
Even though there's other farming games on Facebook, "Pot Farm" has an edge:
"Well, if you look at other games they just don’t have as much personality, man. Sure, you can grow some groovy plants in our game that you can’t grow in other games, but we think what really sets us apart is the cool art and characters. Our game really has a heart, and we take a lot of pride in it, man."
Isn't it so funny that we live in a society where growing is both a jokey game, and an activity that in reality can ruin your life and destroy the environment. So funny! Someone call Cheech and Chong.

"Destroy the environment"? Maybe the jumbo commercial farms... I hear that now they alter genes and "patent" altered species.

The real world is online for a lot of people. It is really very distorted.

Make drugs legal, or alcohol and tobacco illegal. Either way it's more fair.

Hey now, I said more than likely, who knows there could be some exceptions. I'm just saying, Vegas odds here..
Let me clarify a bit though, anyone who gets extensively in to these games to the point where they are like kyle in the kip droiredy episode and they follow a schedule to water plants and shit.
This one girl that I used to work with who's like 28 would talk about how she would play that shit constantly. Moral of the story this girl is a fat mess waste of a human being who I later found out was a part time craigslist hooker. She was fucking busted too. She also banged this black kid who was SUCH a tool during lunch break in the kids girlfriends car. Rofl.

 How many psychedelic users — in any country — actually give
time to the local church soup kitchen, helping to feed the homeless and
hungry? How many of us, having had the experience, under the influence
of the visionary drugs, of seeing all human beings as incarnations of God,
have gone down to the local hospital to give affection and a listening ear to
lonely patients who need somebody to talk to? How many of us regularly
visit a jail, to provide spiritual and emotional support to confused, damaged
people who have grown up unloved, uneducated and unguided by their
confused, damaged parents -Alexander Shulgin

At first I thought my friend was joking when she was telling me about Farmville...
--------------------
Even now, if I see in my soul the citron-breasted fair one
Still gold-tinted, her face like our night stars,
Drawing unto her; her body beaten about the flame,
Wounded by the flaring spear of love,
My first of all by reason of her fresh years,
Then is my heart buried alive in snow.
The universe is transformation: life is opinion.
