Would you leave your country just to have Marijuana legally?

Cannabis.

Yes, clean air is much better for me, the Thames basin is a soup of fumes

Getting away from the family was also a handy touch ;)

Legally, for me, Spain is a very liberating country, I also have a weakness for fast bikes and cars, so empty dry twisty roads with very few speed cameras and being effectively immune to most traffic laws is a wonderful thing compared to the UK where all main roads are littered with speed cameras and average speed cameras.

Moving out of your comfort zone and being forced to learn new languages, customs and mix with different people, it makes you push your limits. You become a more adaptable, capable person after a move and the same old, same old conversations among the people you knew seem and become less important.

But mainly it is about being able to freely grow big ass sativas in sunny countryside vs grovveling around in lofts with a few Son T's and shitty indica/hybrids to smoke.

steady there chaos old friend,,
the thames is now the cleanest river in Europe,we dont get many different languages and cultures in London,,do we?:biggrin:,,,,

@ Chaos. I appreciate the honest response. I'm too old to pull up the roots. But I can say I've had the opportunity to travel the world and many times have said I could live here. Spain is one place I've never been although I've heard Barcelona is very nice.

I just deal with life as it lets me and so far I can't complain, much.
 
Yes...but to return as soon as it became legal at Home ;)

Ha, well. That certainly is the way to get the best of both worlds for Cannabis!

From Cannabis seeds to big ass sativas as you refer to them, sounds like a nice life! :laughing:

we had plans to move to Alaska and have been slowly figuring out how we can do that from Canada. It's only recently that cannabis laws have become quite favorable for a guy like me who might find himself living there LOL
The only thing stopping us from buying a property there , even if it's for 6 months a year, is the potential of a clinton government in the US. Not a fan and believe her ilk is a great evil in this world so plans for Alaska are on hold till after November hahaha

Interesting points everyone.
To be more precise I am lucky enough now to have the option to live in England(my home)or Spain (have lived there before). For me there just isn't enough light here in UK to grow best quality in Greenhouses without Supplemental lighting at least some of the time....and that get's too much attention in England ;) . I've had the chance to grow a few plants in sunnier climes over the years and its what I would rather be doing ATM after decades mostly Indoors. If I could have a Good sized Greenhouse in UK with Supp Lighting without any hassle I would love to be here doing it Primarily for sure... But I am Sooo Bored of waiting for Laws to change now! Been doing this Too long in the Shadow's...It F--king Suck's.
I Wanna Grow Tree's in the Green and Pleasant!
But it seems Only GW Pharma will be given that right here :(
I'm in UK now but gonna be spending about half my time in Spain and half in UK over the next few years and Circumstances in both places will determine where I spend more time in the future. I like Both country's for Different reasons TBH.
I will say this-If you just grow for fun and personal its fine in most of the UK nowadays,police are after the bigger Op's now and aint bothering Little Growers much anyway as long as you aren't being a D--head.
But I cant see our current Prime Minister Legalising Ganja anytime soon,more likely to go backwards now and I wanna grow Some Tree's for a bit as I said ......
So a bit of :plant grow: in Spain is slightly more enticing for me ATM. Luck'n'Lite Wherever ya Grow JBo ;]

Well in fairness, Bill Clinton has been known to be quite a drug addict so honestly I think the regulations may very well get more lax with her as president, not to say I would want her as one or even see her as one, but just my thoughts on this.

I have done once and will do again. Good weather and good weed with good food and good people is something I'd move in a heartbeat for

i cant have much respect for a country that doesnt give its people what they want,
places that have cannabis freedom are usually more fun ...

I've become a Barcelona fan.

In the uk I feel criminalised. Not freedom at all to me
