You truly are an amazing person you can feel it in your words and your passionate advocacy for cannabis law changes, I wish more growers would take your approach to learning how to grow, I hear you on the people that are still stubborn about cannabis, but hey with people like yourself and others and (maybe myself) fingers crossed will be in those ranks like you and one day effectively help people understand the benefits, even the people against and educate them enough to try it before its too late alot of my 70 yr old plus family members all smoke or consume cannabis products for various reasons and I can say it truly helped their lives way more then booze ever did!.... wow rick simpson oil should be sold in every pharmacy!
thankyou so much for sharing your touching story I always thought we had similar views in life and now I know (hugs!) emilya 
That is so true PotChimp, It seems people have become more trendy and trying to one up each other growing their plants so much that it has taken a lot of the joy and fun experiences out of growing cannabis, As for the price of things to get set up so you don't have to depend on other sources for your indulgences half the stuff for sale is crap you could have made in your basement for $100...instead of putting out $300 + on a pre made one.Prior to legalization, people charged extortionate amounts of money for low quality marijuana. Now, they charge extortionate amounts of money for reasonably high quality marijuana. Bless all you people out there who found righteous folks to get high with, but one of the top reasons I do what I'm doing is that I love to indulge but I don't particularly like the people I've met going down that road.
I wish I had enough grow space to cut the grocery guy out along with the dope dealer!
I don't know about you but every now and then,I get a few seeds in my flower from the dispensaries. I did order a couple of my favorite strains though.That is so true PotChimp, It seems people have become more trendy and trying to one up each other growing their plants so much that it has taken a lot of the joy and fun experiences out of growing cannabis, As for the price of things to get set up so you don't have to depend on other sources for your indulgences half the stuff for sale is crap you could have made in your basement for $100...instead of putting out $300 + on a pre made one.
Ya its has gotten crazy what people will charge but I guess that's hype and greed for ya! Some of my uncles hippy friends laugh at how much people are paying for seed and tents these days when they have grown fields for far less money.
Like anything great the governments have to put their hands in it and turn a profit well we pay crazy prices on things we could have gotten for free. Heck remember bag seed back in the 90's everyone mostly bitched about seeds in their weed stash and would through them out, Now those bag seeds have been breed to better quality and someone slaps on a fancy catchy name and sells for $100's of dollars in some cases. I still think feminized seeds and autos are just a marketing scheme to out the regular home grower from producing their own seeds and strains and have to be tied to a big pricey company to get the seeds from. Its fine to feminized or auto's if your just going to grow, but if you want to breed your own that's were they start to cut you off from being able to do... Without a male plant you will limit the genetics in the plants over time that may cause issues in future plant clones. auto's you can't really clone easily like you can photo periods to do breeding projects with, so I find it really limits the home growers experience. Like you I would love to have space to cut out the greedy people! ... Thanks for your post glad to see I'm not the only one that feels that way.
Wow Tangie65.... I almost cried when reading how much pain you were dealing with threw out your body on a daily basis... Glad to hear you have found some relieve with cannabis.

and never did manage to smoke for free.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your story and for your service in the military! If it wasn't for men and women like yourself none of us would be free to do what we do so thank you again.Going on 60 now, remember my first smoke, '74 at a friends house listening to Dark Side of the Moon. Found the experience pleasant and relaxing. Smoking a joint was better than drinking whiskey due to hangover/nausea and the fact that when I smoked a doobie it didn't bring out the Irish in me.
Did the whole buy a QP so I could smoke for free but always ended up smoking more than I should
Never was the type to ingest pills, snorting powder, or god forbid sticking a needle in my arm with a syringe filled with who knows what.
Took a long break due to military service but during my military career it wore out my body, and now I have chronic pain and PTSD among other ailments. So getting my MM licence allows me to grow my own and not have to worry about the quality or price. I am a lot more agreeable/sociable after inhaling my medicine.
Always preferred weed over alcohol and finally I get to grow and smoke my meds legally
