Druggie Mother ??
Looking through some old 1960's photographs recently of my mother holding her siamese cat ; she also had a pet canary which was fed on what was then 'Trill' birdfood ; I can't upload a picture , but I'll swear blind there's a cannabis plant growing behind her ! Amazing what seed they used to incorporate in bird food then .
(She can't be prosecuted though , died in 2009)!!!!

cannabis was common in birdseed until what seems like recent times to an oldie like me. A popular excuse when the cops came round

I remember it well , I was six-years old in 1961 when the picture was taken !
No wonder canaries used to sing a lot

Seriously nut? Cannabis in the Trill?
I was thinking it could have been a cleome. My daughter loves winding me up by saying "Look, my mum's growing weed" to her friends when they come round.....and they believe her

Aaaahh , things ain't what they used to be !!!!!!!!!!!
Nan always threw out the left over trill into the front garden until my cousin asked her why she was growing cannabis! She was mortified!
Sounds like there was a lot of innocent weed growing in the '70s
I used to work for Social Services ... I fed the birds outside my office window ... one summer we had quite a large 'hemp' plant growing in Social Services gardens
