Since coming back to pot, I've yet to smoke anything I haven't grown. I'd love to grow outdoors, in the backyard garden, but I'll leave that to braver souls, this year, anyway. It'd probably have to be autoflowers, given that it doesn't get very dark at night here in the heart of the city.

Time for my seed whoring ways to pay off, counting the Connoisseur testers, going for 10 new strains started within a month!
I highly recommend a 3-4 days mj abstinence every few months, you'll be surprised how much of you is trapped "under the THC haze"... I LOVE mj, yet after abstaining for a few days, my mind starts soaring great ideas, my libido is more roaring, vocabulary doubles, I feel more confident in general, lungs clear up, weight loss due to no munches, and not to mention, getting high afterwards for a few days feels like it *should*: really baked and giggly, and all those great baked ideas start happening again. Balance is so important with everything in life.
Not using the "quote". The argument about alcohol being rooted in our culture and cannabis not having such history is bull crap. Cannabis was here as long as the country has been here. The laws being adopted and enforced kept it from showing for many a decade making it seem that it wasn't here but it was here, just forced underground where history seemed to forget about it on the surface but the history is there for anyone to find if they want to. Don't buy into, or let get away with their lies and propaganda to help the prohibitionist causes.
Subsistence growing is the ideal paradigm. Cuts out the dollar. Mercantile barter style just like the good ol' good ol' days. Doj should be considered just another commodity like tobaccy or barley pop. Cheeba Libre!

I'll agree with that. My next baking session is scheduled for a week from today, June 28 at ~6:00 PM MDT. I'm off work the next week, so I'll allow plenty of time for non-psychoactive metabolites to clear my system before going back to work. I'll toke more often after the first of the year, but meanwhile I gotta do what I gotta do.
Being baked continuously gets boring, tolerance goes way up, resulting in a waste of good weed. Been there. Dig out your best stuff, fire some up & meh... so what?
I'll confess to loving a good wake & bake, for sure. Nothing better for a day of fishing or jeeping the back country. Strain suggestions would be welcome.
But you need water to irrigate and the Arkansas water was sold long ago.

Not at all. Enormous tracts of crops all along the river are irrigated with allocated water. Much of the land and water are already leased to growers of various crops with agreements shifting annually. Ownership is constantly changing, as well. I already have an offer from an owner of 10 irrigated acres near Brighton (northern colorado) to lease it, but I'm nowhere near ready, myself.
If you'll pay more than the guy growing corn, you'll get the lease & the water to go with it, particularly from owners who haven't even been near the land for years. Security is a very big issue, obviously.
Cheeba Libre!! Gateway drug to my balls!!!
using the quote,
no it's not bull crap
duno what culture you are talking about, im from the USA where cannabis has been illegal for many generations & alcohol has been legal all but 13 years of the nations history.
one has been accepted and one has been stigmatized & prohibited.

Illegal Cannabis in the US 1927-Now (earlier if you count the first anti-mexican laws in southern states), 90 years.
Unregulated Cannabis in the US: 1776-1927, 151 years.
Technically even in our young culture Cannabis use is more traditional and ingrained than its regulation.
while i would agree w that statement; the comparison stands:
alcohol use is MORE ingrained
and the concept of prohibiting alcohol LESS ingrained
than compared to cannabis use & regulation & prohibition.
cannabis use & culture is not surpassed by alcohol use and culture in america, legal or not, can we all agree on that?
shit, alcohol use is as american as going to church on sunday morning.
90 is way more than 13, comparing prohibition times.....
and in the 151 years of unregulated cannabis use it was primarily used by immigrant groups, the illegalization of cannabis was used as an assimilation tactic (like u said smurph) seems to me that waaaay back in '27 cannabis use was specifically labeled as "un-american" by the powers that be, just like opium use by asian immigrants. (prohibition of both passed around the same time, for basically the same reasons)
at this point y'all are nitpicking one lil supporting point I made about WHY people will (even temporarily) get a big rise out of growing their own ganja LEGALLY in CO, something american's haven't been able to do in a long time (and essentially noone did before it was illegal save some mexican immigrants). the equivalent act in alcohol terms has been legal basically forever save 13years of prohibition... homebrewing.
as far as widespread home production influencing the market & industry, temporary also. imho
there will always be non-grower-smokers and tourists to prop up the "pot-shop" model the state is pushing now. and increased home-growing regulations at both state and local levels will push people to those pot shops / dispensaries.
im not making some "out there" case, dunno why people are even arguing me on this.... i guess it's the nature of the internet.
yall wanna prove me "wrong".....
im just making a point about how coloradoans have an opportunity to grow their own & many of them are going to take it.

Brighton sounds like a great place to run 10 acres
When hell freezes over.
As I offered earlier, it all depends on the Feds. If they'll let Colorado do their own thing, indoor growers will be caught flat-footed with a lot of over priced herb when the 2014 outdoor crop comes in. Under Colorado law, it's just an issue of having the permits & the right kind of fencing.
I think we'll see greenhouses first, because they're totally enclosed. Obviously, such structures can be quite large, enclosing several acres under a single roof. Those planning on going big are growing for seed right now.
As cannabis cultivation becomes more common & prices a lot more reasonable, security concerns will lessen.
The year was 1937-

Cannabis as an intoxicant never enjoyed the same widespread use as alcohol. Well, not until the 60's, anyway. It's interesting to note that the chief opposition to the legislation at the time came from the AMA, who apparently prescribed it for a variety of conditions.
It has definitely become mainstream in the last 50 years, that's for sure. How do I know? Even Martha Stewart knows how to roll a joint.
