how do you deal with lantana? just take it out by hand, or do you know of another way of dealing with a place that is absolutely infested with it?

My parents had a couple of acres worth of the poo poo on the propery where I grew up. It is extremely tenacious once it sets in. In order to take it back Dad would

a) Slash it back with a metal blade on the slasher
b) Poison it
c) Burn it off once it had died

There was so much of it, it was basically a losing battle. We'd kill off a couple of dozen square meters and it would come back extremely quickly. poo poo is a loving nightmare when it's established. NSW Weedwise (not as fun as it sounds) has some good info, including methods for various herbicides.

Think I've done myself a mischief bogoons

bloke in the flat downstairs had a leak back in feb. i hadnt met the guy but due to the builders needing access to my balcony to fix the leak we got chatting. seemed decent enough of a bloke. he let me in to the car park one time when I forgot my garage swipe tag. repaid the favor with a foil, as is the way (and he mentioned he smoked weed previously)

last friday he asks me if Im home. I was out so I say no. Wanted to buy a stick so I told him when I would be home, said I heard him playing COD and we should have a game. Give him some weed the next day and play some COD. fine.

to cut to the meat of it, I get the impression he has lost his job and hes lying about actually being on LSL. doesnt quite check out because he got a new job in the past 6mo or so (I noticed he got a company car) and his story changed from LSL to 'yeah they told me they needed the ute back because i was off leave for so long, so asked me to resign and they will re-hire me when I want to come back.' I asked if his misso smoked and he said no, never.

later that day asks for some more weed 'later'. I oblige, saying come up when you want some. turns out 'later' is right in the middle of my livestream gig Im enjoying and I am personally about 5 cones deep and enjoying myself. I let him in. turns out he wants to smoke here. ugh.

anyway this dude is in my flat smoking my weed interrupting my live gig. I kind of try and lead him into talking if hes got some poo poo going on cos I like to help people out with that poo poo and he seems like the kind of guy with poo poo mates that wouldnt really be available for that. hes a bit on edge and mentioned his mrs is asleep and he came up to hang out. I suggested that if he has a problem with weed (or she does) im not the best person to be hanging around. I go for an easy let down by saying Im getting an early night as my roster is changing and Im gonna behave for the next few weeks, tafe wrapping up etc. he leaves.

cue this arvo when I get home. he hears me get home and asks to play COD. Im in a game with mates already and tell him to wait and I'll invite. I forget to, and i hear some knocking at the door a few min later. I had headphones on so not 100% sure if it was that or not, but definitely came from the door.

TLDR this guy who isnt really my cup of tea but otherwise OK seems like hes using me to sneak bongs away from his Misso.

I should not be enabling him, right? had I known any of that stuff I wouldnt be offering him weed. Im also conscious of the fact that if hes hiding regular drug use from his fiance then maaaaaaybe you have problems you are not addressing. additionally i dont want to piss this guy off since we are neighbors after all and he seems a bit cagey.

give a man weed more than once and he becomes accustomed to it and just expects you to be his weed source, it happened to me in regards to my brother and it always just seemed easier to acquiesce than to tell him to get hosed. Its tough because after you smoke some weed the last thing you wanna do is be aggressive in telling a guy to gently caress off and get his own.

yeah i gotta put my foot down on this because while vaping is efficient (uses way less and it can be reused to make edibles) smoking it is not. I generally share weed with mates on my vape or for a doobie gratis but smoking cones is off the menu.

Don't just drop what you are doing to give away cones whenever someone rocks up or they'll keep rocking up. Be explicit and about when you are available and how long for. Drop some barriers and make it a little harder than just knocking on your door, tell em they gotta come back in 2 hours, or tommorow, or whatever. That way they cant rely on getting a smoke from you and using your place to hang out, they gotta actually put some thought into coming round.
