You know, it's very interesting this idea that indoor is better because you have total control over the environment. It doesn't jive with my aquatic experience.
See, in fishkeeping our goal is to mimic the wild environment, the natural environment. Why? Because, it is PERFECT for the organisms in question, it is pristine and it is what they evolved to live in. And so it seems to me the same would be true for any other living thing that has evolved on this earth. And those systems that best mimic nature are the ones where we see organisms doing more than just living, they're thriving, breeding, growing. And we're not just keeping fish, we're also keeping photosynthetics of various types, and again, every time, the goal is to mimic nature because she is superior.
Personally, I don't care where it was grown, I care how. Is it organic, or is it fuckin' chockful of chemicals? If the grower had pest or disease issues, how did they respond to that? If they're using chemicals, again, I want not a fucking THING to do with it, just like with my food.
Then, again for me but maybe not for anyone else, there's the issue of sustainability and indoor cultivation ain't really it. I mean, yeah, maybe you can pay for it with dollars, but how long can we all pay for it with resources? THAT, for me, is the real rub to indoor growing. Get your footprint smaller and I might be a bit more willing to give it further consideration as a good way to go, but currently we're not there.
All that said, what dispensaries are left in the state (back on thread topic)?
