A plant whose virtues have never been discovered. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis oft cited quote is only partially correct.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll the plants in this book, according to the weed act of alberta, are prohibited and noxious weeds. They are banned in many other provinces and states as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut they do have virtues! They all contribute to our well being in ways you will discover in these pages. I think it is important to understand what industrial agriculture means by the term \"noxious weed\". They mean a plant that interferes with agri-business and therefore requires destruction with dangerous herbicides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a more self-aware agronomic culture, these so-called weeds would be harvested for medicine and food. The use of pesticides and herbicides, promoted by various petrochemical interests, would be banned by a progressive, enlightened agriculture policy that valued people's health. Instead, we have individuals trained by chemical company interests, telling people which plants are good and which are (ob)noxious.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey whom truth and wisdom lead, can gather honey from a weed. (William Cowper)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.
