I Grow Pot On My Off Time......


So recently i found a new game on Facebook called "Pot Farm." This is an interesting game that really has no purpose, you start off with a small plot of land and a small amount of funds. The goal of the game is to grow pot and other plants to gain level and unlock new plant, structures, and other items. In the game there are plants that are safe to grow(legal) like Hemp, Hops, Corn, ect., but then there are plants that make you loose protection points(illegal) like OG KUSH, TIME WARP, SWEET TOOTH, AFGHAN DREAM, and many more. If you have to many non-approved(ranger-bait) plants the local "ranger" will come and confiscate them. Sounds a bit like real life to me, in the essence that if you are a care giver and you are growing more plants than you should. You'll get busted and the plants confiscated.

 Although in the game some plants grow in 2 hours where as in real life it would take 10 weeks to grow it. Although I would have to say the best part about this is that about three days ago about a mile down the road from me. The local law enforcement went into a field/small patch of woods and confiscated someone’s “Pot Farm” that they had growing. Another funny thing about this game is that when the game is loading it has a load screen that states "This game contains immature subject matter and is not intended for anyone under 21. All plants and situations depicted are entirely fictional and any resemblance to real life situations or plants are completely coincidental." then the last line goes on to read "This game should not be played by anyone..."

I find this game to be a great waste of time, although it's rather pointless and a waste of time, but it's just like all the other games on facebook. This might actually make a good case for how modern society has accepted the growth and distribution of marijuana(pot).

  1. Well...your title hooked me! I had to read this post...can't believe there is a game about this!
    You make a very good point about modern society- we use to think that drugs were really bad, now its more acceptable with the changes to the law.
    WOW!

  4. Well with the growing number of people that are for the use of medical marijuana I can see why it's on the site.

  5. I really dont think facebook should allow a game like this. It could give people the wrong idea and I'm surprised they are allowed to leave it on the site.
