My son is learning to cut the grass here in Puerto Rico (yes, he was paid half in cryptocurrency and half in USD) and it got me again thinking about lawns.
Lawns are kind of stupid. The history of them goes something like, “Look how financially secure I am. I can waste so many resources maintaining this estate, therefore you should mate with me or do business with me.”
Imagine if houses everywhere started growing food or hemp or cannabis instead of useless grass. We could feed ourselves, create building materials, and have medication/relaxation compounds which are better for our bodies than alcohol. CBD is going to be a big deal.
Instead of HOAs (Home Owners Associations) getting all fussy about not having cookie-cutter homes with lawns, they could team up with editable landscape experts like my sister 
Sure, economies of scale are against the idea, but look again at these bags of useless grass that will end up in a landfill. How financially worthwhile is that?
I’m currently renting, so my options are limited. The idea of growing something instead of filling a landfill with grass has me motivated to make some money and buy a place I could grow something on. Rossi Naturals here in PR has me inspired as well.
What do you think about lawns vs. edible landscapes?
How long do you think the insanity of cannabis prohibition will last?
