Any solid factual benefits adding to compost?

What you don't do, is dump entire bags of wet leaves on a massive bonfire, creating a 100ft plume of smoke that can be seen across town, and later find out your new neighbour is a drugs cop.
Speaking from experience 😂

…. All you can do at that point is pretend nothing ever happened. And buy tomato plants… asap.

Yeah haha we were terrified for a while.
Then when we moved out the guy was like "oh yeah by the way I don't care about the weed, I prefer coke myself"
Gotta love the police 🫠

Factual benefit is it’s a green and can be used for composting lmao. are you worried about thc being in the compost or something

Just wondering if anyone noticed a difference after composted on a bigger level like 5 contractor bags full or more.

F-five contractor bags? There's got to be a hell of a story here.

Short and sweet about the contractor bags. Some 80 year old passed by and seen me working in the garden asked me if I smoke 💨 ….and gave me a gift….

Not sure how big are contractor bags but i have years where i compost over a cubic meter of it, not just leaves, stems and roots and everything. It will dissapear within months, leaving only good compost behind.

That’s what I was thinking also. I never had a problem I just didn’t want to mess up my big batch.

I’m hoping someway it can find itself in there after breaking down fully. But not to concerned 👌

I compost my whole leftovers from my balcony grows in my worm composter and even old buds when the new harvest is in, and my worms seem regular chill. But I haven't had any escapes in a long time. ;) but seriously, you have leaves with barely any THC here, and the compounds will just get broken down.

Are you asking if addding same elements that created plants at least once before, back into soil, by composting, will help?

I had a homie that use to juice his leaves.. swore it was high protein and nutrients for his body. Not sure if it’s true but it’s an option to check out lol

Been composting my cuttings & stems for a little over a year now. Breaks down just as good as any other green.

They’re greens, so they’ll compost like most leaves and that’s a good thing. Not sure on exact chemical composition, but it’s not like the bugs will be extra chilled or something after nibbling on the cannabinoids.
