- badwithcomputer, on 05/21/2008, -8/+257I thought this article was about Marijuana.
- lucidguru, on 05/21/2008, -7/+85The buds that I would grow would cheer everyone up... I would grow Lophophora williamsii, Calea zacatechichi, Salvia divinorum, and of course Cannabis sativa.
- Four20, on 05/21/2008, -4/+53I'm with these guys. . .more buds in the offices.
- shutaro, on 05/21/2008, -0/+41Blatant false advertising.
- Pimpalicious316, on 05/21/2008, -3/+43ya mon, we be 'avin' dat 'appy bud gro'n in ar' office
- Snuff99, on 05/21/2008, -1/+31i'm fairly let down that it's not.
- bobalien, on 05/21/2008, -0/+25that would certainly increase my satisfaction as an employee
- angusmancan, on 05/21/2008, -2/+25I've found that burning the bud has had a more significant effect on the morale of coworkers, rather than just growing the bud.
- aidave, on 05/21/2008, -0/+17Cheering people up is illegal.
- DteK, on 05/21/2008, -2/+14Is there anyone who came here NOT expecting this to be about ganja?
- SeaweedWater, on 05/21/2008, -5/+17I had no idea there were different kinds of bud you could grow.
- Salomas, on 05/21/2008, -0/+12Salvia is not at all cheerful.
- DavidYeah, on 05/21/2008, -2/+13I think higher pay would incrase job satisfaction too.
Yeah, I'm THAT guy. - moxley, on 05/21/2008, -1/+11This reminds me of the sort of deceptive drug innuendo headlines my hometown newspaper used when I was a kid that always grabbed people's attention (especially mine).
The school district there was called the "Lancaster School District," so every so often you'd see front page headlines like so:
"Superintendent Using LSD Funds for Personal Estate"
"Mayor Issues Statement on LSD"
"Students Raise Issues at LSD Meeting" - lnf69, on 05/21/2008, -2/+11I didn't read the article, but I'd like to say.... uh.... I forgot.
....
Oh yea! Buds in my office; I'd never go home. - fuhcough, on 05/21/2008, -7/+16i'm not your bud, guy.
- SFBWork, on 05/21/2008, -4/+13Buried for getting my hopes up.
- joker10687, on 05/21/2008, -0/+7Buried for an intentional attention-whoring (yeah its Digg, but still...) inaccurate title. I think most people knew that having plants around was a good thing already.
- MattB123, on 05/21/2008, -2/+9Not idnica?
- dtele, on 05/21/2008, -2/+8Nice headline ;)
- camaroz06, on 05/21/2008, -2/+8Plants would be nice, try working in an office that doesnt even have windows. This place sucks.
- TTURabble, on 05/21/2008, -4/+10I'm not your guy, friend.
- funk13, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6"Stoner's Pot Palace" should be run out of business for that.
- jjef, on 05/21/2008, -1/+7buried for misleading headline ;) haha
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6Indica puts me to sleep. I am not Montel Williams.
- isaactwito, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5It's alright sometimes.
- RockedOut, on 05/21/2008, -1/+6Doubt it, I think we've all been scammed here.
- stonebear, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4Back in the 70's and early 80's, office plants were really starting to catch on. The same positive stats were there to provide the blessing of the health insurers, and the bluish fluorescent lamps and unfiltered windows in office blocks made it all feasible. The settling hippies went nuts with it.
Unfortunately, the bluish light that plants need to thrive is somewhat less than flattering to the human complexion; reddish fluorescent lamps were developed, and quickly became the standard in office blocks. As energy got more expensive, filmed windows also became standard, leaving office plants effectively in the dark. Except for die-hard greens, office plants became so difficult to maintain that they fell largely out of fashion for office workers. Settling hippies faded to drudges.
Now we are apparently approaching full circle, as it has been discovered that humans need that same blue light to maintain their circadian rhythms, and the lack of it is a part of what has been causing sick building syndrome. People tried to find a happy medium in the 90's with pure white halogen light, but it was simply too inefficient to catch on. And aging baby-boomers still didn't look that good under it. So vanity continues to reign, as little other than pink tinted fluorescent lamps continue to be found in the dystopian wasteland of cubicle city.
There is hope in the new LED technology, as it can cheaply provide pure white, and the exact sky blue needed by humans and plants alike. But, as vain as people are, technology is the lesser problem with office gardening. - DiggzDE, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4We've had all our local news stations bashing Salvia on TV lately. Saying completely untrue facts about it and such. Equating it to being a hallucinogens equal to that of LSD. *****. Every time I see their lies I want to shout at them. Oh, how far our nation's news programs have fallen. I just watched a LIVE report on American Idol on the 10 o clock news. American Idol for god sakes!!!!
- yohnstoppable, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4By decriminalized I of course meant criminalized. I'm just thinking positively like always! :D
- FishHammer, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4Salvia is weed's angry legal cousin. I agree with Salomas.

- TrevorBelmont, on 05/21/2008, -2/+6Buried for deliberately misleading title.
- Onyxblaze, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4:D where do YOU work?
- audiodude34, on 05/21/2008, -2/+6It's amazing how pro-marijuana everyone on digg is. Gives you an idea of how much digg doesn't represent the general population, or that ***** would be legal by now.
- mGARANDEUR1, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4Salvia is nasty *****. It tastes like ***** and makes me go crazy.
- yohnstoppable, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3Salvia was just recently decriminalized here in Illinois. Like within the last year. Can't order it online claiming you are using it for incense purposes anymore. Never really got into it myself to be honest. Felt SOOOOOO uncomfortable afterwards. And I haven't sweat like that since high school two-a-days.
- MattB123, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3I've never experienced it, and lots of reports like this kind of make me not want to all that much. I'm also not the young guy I was when this kind of experimentation really appealed to me either. But it's interesting to hear about. It doesn't sound dangerous so much as just not all that pleasant.
- jotatmo, on 05/21/2008, -1/+4had bad trips every time. : (
- xMedic, on 05/21/2008, -2/+5it is
- Brok3nflag, on 05/21/2008, -2/+5buried for the headline deceiving me
- winmywii, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3We have windows in my office. Unfortunately I can see them past my cube walls.
- DiggzDE, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3Haven't had a bad time with it yet.
- actionscripture, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3You're obviously not a web developer. :)
- aidave, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3Depends on the job.
- skierkegaard, on 05/21/2008, -1/+4I'm not your friend, buddy.
- mGARANDEUR1, on 05/21/2008, -2/+4I think growing marijuana in an office is a little risky, no?
- evanct, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2let's put it this way. if you try it, you'll be glad you did, but you'll never want to do it again.
- mGARANDEUR1, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Yes, morale might improve....don't expect more work to get done.
- RockedOut, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2"Students Raise Issues at LSD Meeting"
Issue #1- How to handle teachers while on LSD.
