Honest question....would the delta be a good area to farm pot? As in, would it be more profitable than growing rice, beans and cotton? If so, that would be another reason to want it.
It would grow like kudzu. Much like kudzu it is native to higher elevations in Asia. Once introduced to the fertile soils and humid air of the Delta, it would thrive. Now, I imagine you end up with a shitload of old dirt weed, as weed today has moved the way of Bourbon... It is small batch and handcrafted.
A snip from weedseedshop.com blog:
"Marijuana has been an enormous part of the culture in Jamaica because of how readily available it is there, and even the laws in Jamaica are finally starting to catch up. The heat and the humidity in these two parts of the world mean that someone just has to basically throw a seed into a field, and you can pretty much guarantee that it will grow into a marijuana plant."
