Hello Farmers & Friends,
I go by CannaCurious here, as I have always been kind of curious about Cannabis. I have been on the forums since I was 12 way back in overgrow days. Stopped posting and really being part of the online community around 2010 and just would check what was going on, but living in this region is like having all the members of the forum as your neighbors, as many of you are my neighbors. Have come a long way since my dads basement and still feel like I know nothing. Have been living in the Triangle for about a decade now and went and hid under the curtain... Have had a membership here under my first online handle, but trying to reinvent myself and start sharing more that laws have been changing and permits are in.
I became very politically active a couple of years ago when a few groups of people gathered and started talking about changing the 215 laws and the looming idea of Rec. Now I try to be at every meeting and every policy event, as activism has paved the path for hopefully a nice foundation to be poured and built upon, but never have I had to jump so many hurdles than to endeavor into taking on investment and jumping through the bureaucratic hoops...
Its been nothing but a bumpy road since lifting the veil, but I think the hard work and stress will be well worth it. I hope to say it how it is. I am attempting to become a critic and a product reviewer, as I have been doing so for my own business since I could remember. Nose is messed up most days from selling and smelling packs. Trying to teach consumers what is truly a good product, as we set a new bar for what schwag weed vs connoisseur. The days of being able to mix some bottled nutes and read a ph meter and call yourself a master grower are over.
I would like to admit my novice skills, yet I am always sold out and have a back order. Always experimenting and willing to learn... I just wish good help was easier to find, as anyone who is good seems to go on their own as quick as they can and I don't blame them. Looking to build community and team, as the day of going solo and having all the glory will be soon ended for most, its about the team and the conglomerates now, yet we can't lose touch with our roots and by banding together keep the culture alive and exposing those who are in this market only for the money and don't consume their own product. We all seek comfort, but I was the kid that could survive on a little grow and feed his family, those days are soon gone. I would like to shine a light on the people that have been in it for the right reasons, and I hope that we all vote with our dollars to keep those type of people and brands at the front, or to revamp the black market to kill out the new Wal-Marts of the Cannabis Industry. Thank you CA for at least making it semi reasonable to enter the market, compared to most other states. (Sorry for the rant lol)
