Holy shit i wrote this months ago and didnt realize i never posted it. I was just starting my first grow in colorado (tens under my belt in NE though) when i wrote it, now im beginning harvest & CO grow #2 LOL.
(i tend to make lengthy, rambly posts)
ok so first of all, why am i here ? Well...hard to summarize but i'll give it a shot. About a year and a half ago, my marriage of ~7 years came to a sudden end. i knew i had to just drop everything and start over. Through a ouija-like set of circumstances, i found myself in Pueblo, Colorado. There's a lot to this rube-goldberg-like scenario, but it ends in my first day in CO being 4/20/2012. Synchonicity happens, believe it. Turns out, i've now got a pretty good thing here, especially considering the circumstances. Pueblo in particular is great for me, for a number of reasons. (Small size & nice (IMO) weather = good combo for me (can't drive- i have pretty bad epilepsy.) Growing cannabis to treat my epilepsy is a big part of the need to move here, too.
Anyhoo, what led me here in particular was having a hard time finding the optimal light source for my new grow cabinet. i'll save the rambling about this, but after scouring the interwebs and blocking google search results from a couple popular yet bleh websites that shall remain nameless, icmag gave me the answer i was looking for - (PL-L/2g11). That's what got me to the site, and the knowledge:trollage ratio seems great here.
Feel free to skip this paragraph, it's basically me preaching on MMJ's changing my life in a way that nothing else could.
i've dealt with epilepsy all of my life, and have found prescriptions to be largely ineffective, even shit like phenobarbital, crazy combinations of meds, and clinical trials of new meds. That was the story of the first 20-some years of my life. Being raised by an uber-christian, it took a years' worth of research and convincing myself to give weed a try. It's my conclusion, that my brain is simply "low" on endocannabinoids or isn't able to make sufficient use of them. Consuming weed/CBD is basically a supplement, no different than popping a vitamin B or whatever. Prescriptions do jack shit for this. Since then, i've been super-open and passionate about the topic of MMJ. i'd ramble more, but i'll end on this: hell yes i have my fun with it.
So that's my rant. Some other stuff i enjoy: Hobby electronics/robotics/programming. (wha?) Standup comedy; Crochet; (thuggy looking 29yo male? wha? lol. not mine, but proof it can be a very non-granny hobby - 8 bit crochet ftw: ); Pepsi (<-- this = what will kill me.); boobies (heh); vaporizers (ive never smoked) Hrm... what else... Nothin' much is coming to me, but i'm sure there's more nerdy shit floating around out there.
