Congratulations @WeednFeed but the clan is making a huge mistake. Promoting weeds in the server can cause multiple problems. It becomes a tripping hazard if you grow it all over. The smell will have all the players distracted while looking for strains like Norther Lights, Mimosa, The Grand Duke and many others. You won't be able to keep people out of the servers and the players will be having way too much fun distracted from real life. It's a really bad idea.1 point
