i know you said you lived there before, weed aside, doesnt alaska have a huge depression rate due to its 24 hours of dark??
im kinda in the same boat, my wife needs this plant. So to me that says, im growing and it doesnt matter where. are you doing indoors or outdoors.
i would choose where to live based on where you guys would be happier.
p.s. my wife always makes fun of me because i pass the bong/joint/vape back to her and usually let her finish it, she can smoke me and my friends combined under the table. plus its kinda hot when she rips huge wax hits and has a lil....... ahem....... cough...... then i look at her and go "really??"
