Hello all thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge

Guys I picked these from a hospital flower bed earlier today and they sort of smell minty but I’m wondering is this plant mint diseased or does anyone know what it is please? The flower bed was about 10m and this was sprouting everywhere

Thanks again

An 8 tonner should do it make sure you hire with a ripper tooth though, they can be tough buggers.

Correct. Medicinal cannabis. Hence why the hospital grows it.

Ok...so it's not just for the folk who sit in the doorway smoking it?

Ironically tried that once and did end up in hospital. Never again!

It was planted during the great pandemic,So visitors could put some behind their paper mask to help shield them from the stink of bullshit..

I thought it was a stingy nettle. Might work to distract you from the bullshit if you wore it under your mask.

Jokes aside...I cut out a doorway today. From inside a room about 3x2m decided to wear a mask...fk was it dusty we cut the outside skin from outside with 500i and water .
And I volunteered to do the inside with DeWalt cutoff. Lads outside helpfully knocked a few blocks out.."to help airflow"
Still blowing black snot. Ah well life's great.

Get a decent dust mask and see about facefit testing. They start at 20 quid so not even that bad. However I wish a I had spent the money on an airbed mask in the past. Ive had some really dusty jobs in the past and dread to think what I have to look forward to as consequences

Yeah im pretty ott about dust now. Also done some jobs in the past I wish I hadn't The lungs are pretty good at clearing innocuous dust and like alot of things levels of exposure etc. stone dust is pretty bad due to causing silicosis. I wear a mask if opening bags of cement etc now too.

Its a bit late for most of us,but some of the s**t things ive cut/dismantled are on the definately dont do lists of today..
Unfortunately the replacement for asbestos is silicates-dust.
The legislation brought in around RAMS, Permits and the like are more for the mass glut of claims that will come of it all unfortunately.
I feel part of this data retention (40 years) is from solicitors lobbying the authorities so their jobs are easier in the future,its no just the HSE wanting us to be safer.

Trouble is in our line or work is where to draw the line? Probably should be wearing a mask all day long in the summer. Pretty much every shovel of soil/aggregate will be chucking up small amount of dust which accumulatively find their way to the lungs. Loading a dumper can produce alot of dust for example..

cement fibre big six sheet with a 9", clouds of cement dust, clouds of rust dust off rusty beams/steel with a 7" cup brush, spraying finished work, decades of welding fumes, workshops full of diesel smoke, etc., etc. and smoked most of me life - I'm still here .... as said, " it's a bit late for most of us "

Yea agreed, some are worse than others though. Its been pot luck so far and hopefully we can be better informed.
The world of kitchen worktops is going through it ATM. Some products are banned round the world. We will get round to it soon no doubt.
There's been some horrendous lung damage from short exposure times i've read..

Stonemason I know recently developed a cough. Went on for some time and was getting worse. Had a load of hospital visits and reckoned he was done for having spent his life working grinding and cutting stone- fortunately turned out to be a bacterial infection in the lungs that wasnt shifting. But then local groundworks contractor has died recently from lung cancer at only 48- real shame, was hell of a good backhoe operator. I think to an extent genetics play a role how well different people react to certain things. My old headteacher sat in a cesspit of cigarette smoke day in day out- lived well into his late 80s.
