I had the same idea as you and thought about it for awhile. I think the best option is just to get part of a plant, then replant it where desired. Oh also, I’m pretty sure it is illegal in some places, hence the difficulty finding seeds, depending where you’re located presently.

There have been advertisements on myspace since at least last year regarding buying CrimethInc's books which from what I have read from CrimethInc doesn't seem right at all, but I figure if one thing seems out of place, why would it be wrong for something like this that seemed out of the place to not be true? Your hearts in the right place too, and I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but my misunderstanding wasn't foolish, CrimethInc doesn't have some set stance, and does have an embrace of hypocrisy, who am I to know the difference? I'm not coming from this perspective critical of CrimethInc either, as there has been some great material written in its name, but when I see someone bringing out the "green" name, I do get skeptical and there are a lot of people that buy into this notion, and given what I said earlier, it didn't seem such a stretch to me. Apparently I was wrong so I apologize for directing the comment at you while still obviously keeping my stance on the bullshit "green" label. [By the “green” label thing, I mean which is being thrown on everything by this system obviously, not the mention of “green” in this article.] ret marut:
