What can i do to stop the slugs and snails eating my ganja plants ?
Question:They are in pots but no matter where i hide them, them little pests are munching away each morning. I'm a nature loving guy so extermination goes against my grain, i'd love to hear some ingenious tips.
PS. I live in France

I hate killing animals, but deterrance is possible.
You can put bands of copper around the tops of the pots that they're in, which deter slugs and snails due to their electric charge, which they feel when trying to slide over them. You can also get mats, to put underneath the pots, that do something similar.
Slugs will frequently burrow into soil, to hide in moist conditions too, so may be there lurking and ready to pop out and eat away.
You can also put a covering over the soil that slugs and snails will not crawl over. You can buy such stuff, or use really coarse grit.
Here's a link that shows some of this stuff, for sale in the UK - not France, though you may be able to buy from a local supplier, or get it shipped:

Sprinkle salt around your pots.
pour a huge circle of salt around the base of the pots?.. I dont know.. there might be eggs in the dirt. Ask a local gardening shop.. I'll bet they are hatching out from the dirt. You might need to replace it.
Kitchen salt kills slugs and snails. If you sprinkle some salt on them they will foam up and die. Sprinkle some around the plants also.
You can put salt around the plants to kill them, but putting a copper wire around the pots dosnt kill them they just dislike it.
It is said that slugs love beer, and will readily drink themselves to death if you leave a shallow pan of it around where they can get to it. Don't know about snails. Maybe they prefer the ganja.
sprinkle salt and turmeric in and around the pots, that will keep the snails at bay
Your question sounds a bit funny. If they keep eating your ganja there wont be any left for you to smoke or whatever you do with it. You better leave them some and take whatever's left.
vasaline around the top rim of the pots - they are unable to grip and therefore can't go any further.
start charging them and tell them no more freebies.
Call the gendarme immediately.
He will know what to do.
I suggest you ask him to remove the plants to the gendarmerie for safe keeping.
Smoke them as well
Sounds like the little guys just want to get high. Leave them alone!
Try the educational crap they use in the States, teach them to "Just Say No". If it works as well as it does here, your plants are doomed because your slugs and snails are going to get the munchies and finish them off.
Keep some frogs with the plants - they will eat the slugs and snails. Oh, sorry! As you live in France I expect you have eaten all the frogs. On second thoughts, as you are in France, why not eat the snails yourself. Isn't that what you do over there.
