I'm curious as to what your reason is for growing, is it for enjoyment of knowing you can smoke something at the end of the hard work, or for the pain and to help others

for me its the enjoyment i get from growing a plant which is beautiful and the achivment for me is massive.

I am old ,started with Mexican saliva's in late sixties, went to Columbian, Honduran, Panamanian, all bag seed, now days I grow my own crosses, and experiment with clones, and commercial seeds,, I do not care what people say,, the old stuff was just as good or better than this new stuff...

love of cannabis.

no other plant has given me so much...

I was a mess. fucked up back, had fusion surgery and never was able to be pain free. the opiates were destroying my liver, the valium was making me fall asleep while driving; the drugs were actually intensifying my fall into despair.

I had to quit working. I moved, lost house, no income, no insurance...facing the worst depression I turned to cannabis.

cannabis helped me recover from that depression to be functional again. helped reduce pain and the anxiety of my new life without pharmacueticals.

made the investment in knowledge, lights, ventilation, and genetics and a subliminal promise to myself to never again be at their mercy. best damned decision I ever made.

did I say 'I love cannabis'?

I grow because it has changed my life for the better on so many levels. I grow because I was taught this amazing skill, an was told to pass it on to the wise. I have done such an touched the lives of those who accepted the knowledge. I grow because I love it! I love it, I love it, I love it! I can't say it enough. Been growing since 92' an I will always grow.

I like to grow things in general but... In the early 1970s, even before my first daughter was born, I decided I never wanted to do business with a dope dealer ever again and I never have.

I'm an old fart. Been dealing with Miss Mary for almost 40 years. All of my PIC's(partners in crime) faded out, quit for job reasons, etc. That left me with dealing with the younguns'. Oh HELL to the NO. Plus, you're always on someone elses' time. You got to wait for the dealer to do whatever the fuck they're doing and then MAYBE you can see them - OR wait on that call. Fuck that action. I bit the bullet back on 03', saved some cash, stole one of my bedrooms(with wooden floors, mind you) and turned it into a grow room. Never looked back.

I grow for stash, an old fart too, but healthy. Knock wood.

I know what goes into my plants, can't remember the last time
I smoked store bought weed.

I make crosses, some narrow leaf, some Afghans. I love it all.

Been toking 35 years, hope to toke another 35 years!

Good thread!

I like gardening/growing.. makes me happy. I like my smoke but its more exciting and rewarding for me to have great looking plants and a big harvest.
