Recruiting Our Old Enemies Open-Sourcing; A Good Idea

Written by J.M.R posted by Joshua

Those of us who’ve used cannabis for decades know that dogs have an extraordinary sense of smell. Many people can’t imagine how much more sensitive a dog’s sense of smell is than our own, but it is. I’ve given this quite a bit of thought. Cop dogs are VERY intelligent, bored & lonely, so they are focused on doggy play time, which only comes if/when they successfully alert on cannabis. As we all know, the wonderful smell of cannabis is very difficult to block, and play-motivated pooches aren’t dumb, so cannabis shippers like me back-in-the-day tried to mask the smell. What worked best in my experience was multiple layers of “Seal-A-Meal” plastic packaging, with the soap-impregnated piece of paper that’s wrapped around every bar of Ivory brand soap contained within the very-outside layer of plastic. If you think like a dog, a strong Ivory soap smell conveys the message of doggy bath time. Most dogs tend to dislike doggy bath time, so in-theory that gives cannabis shipments a better chance at arriving undetected.

Recently I obtained some normally good tasting bud from a dispensary, but when I lit a bong-hit I noticed a familiar bad taste…A seed! And I found a few other seeds in that batch. I know from past experience that these seeds come from male flowers which weirdly spring from female buds that — due to the lack of any males — just get freaky & go hermaphrodite. The resulting seeds are usually? female (no Y chromosomes despite the gettin’ freaky aspect!) it’s not desirable in dispensary weed. And for the growers, it’s VERY VERY VERY difficult to detect visually. Hopefully everyone sees where I’m going with this.

At the moment the success of the legalize cannabis movement has effectively put a LOT of weed-detection canines out of work. (And I can sympathize with these dogs. Please hire me, dispensaries! This is NOT my only good idea!!) What needs to happen is a “dog person” or one of these weed-dog trainers training up new dogs for male pollen detection. Walking them thru various dispensaries’ grows every day or 3, on the lookout for the hermaphrodites that mess-up the taste of my buds! This can happen!!

While discussing this with a random dispensary employee, she objected to the idea of a dog (with dog-dander!) strolling thru a cannabis grow. I understand. But I’m ready for that objection, too!

Myriad possibilities exist right now for dispensaries to jump on the pollen problem. And yes, one of ’em should hire me, but not just because of this!!
