Hello,
I have not smoked pot in nearly 25 years (this isn't a troll, keep reading). So my question to myself is, what am I doing here? I have to put it on the shoulders of Prop 64, and I don't even live in Colorado. I smoked a lot when I was younger and tried to quit many times. I finally quit when I was mugged one night about a block from my apartment and a block from where I scored my dope on the street corner. I finally grasped the fact that I was contributing to a criminal enterprise that was destroying my neighborhood. I decided that I wouldn't support the black market anymore. That was the catalyst that kept me clean.
Now, thanks to Prop 64, I don't have to buy pot from the black market, it's legal (in case you haven't heard). I got curious when seeing the news stories on January 1. I started reading a lot of stuff on the web. I knew medical marijuana existed in California, in fact I voted for Prop 215 in 1996. My ignorant self thought it was just for Glaucoma and chemotherapy patients. The more I read and watched videos, etc, the more I realized how it was also in effect legal in my state. All I have to do is go to a doctor and get a recommendation. I guess I was living in an alternate reality for the past several years.
So, thanks to Prop 215 and SB 420 I can grow my own cannabis. That's really exciting, and really scary. I've lived vicariously throughout many of the grow journals on this site. That's what the internet was designed for. People sharing knowledge and helping each other.
You all know the exciting part, but what about the scary part? To repeat myself, I haven't smoked in almost 25 years. When I smoked I was a part time waiter with no girlfriend. I quit and a year later I was the restaurant manager and married. I now am a self employed computer programmer with a nice house in the suburbs and a daughter who goes to a prestigious university. It's one of the most expensive colleges in the country. If I start smoking again I'm afraid I'll loose my business and not be able to get my kid thru the next two years of school. I don't want to let her down, but I also really want to smoke a joint. I haven't had the urge in years and years. Thanks Prop 64.
What I really want to do is grow some killer weed, like the plants I see on this site. I want to put them alongside my tomato plants and watch them grow. I guess I just need to strap on a backbone and tell my wife I'm going to become compliant with SB 420 and grow cannabis. Wish me luck.
PS
My name's not Dugan, that's what my friends and I called joints way back when.
