Title says it all. I'm curious as to why you guys are growing?

Why do I grow? It's easy. I love it. The chemistry, the setup, the controls, the science. And being able to choose my own medicine. In reality though it would be far cheaper for me to buy it. I would be surprised if I smoke an 1/4 oz a year. Im also interested in getting into the industry when my state legalizes it. So it's all about learning I guess.

I grow because it is a hobby that has taken my mind off of a lot of stuff. And I LOVE weed. So growing it with organic nutes and having control over all of the details makes it even better.

:)

And I would rather pay for some dirt, water, nutes and beans than pay 280 an ounce.

And...I forgot. The kush ryder auto i grew in my grow box was the best weed I have ever smoked and I grew it from a fucking seed !!!. Blows my mind.

I have Crohns disease and this is literally my medicine.

Without MMJ I had 3-4 flares a week

With MMJ my number of flares hsppen every 3-4 1/2 months apart.

MMJ literally gave me back my life!

At first I grew to supply myself affordably and for that reason alone. Then as I progressed through various runs I realized it's not just the end results that I love. It's the journey to get you there. The time it takes, effort, and the care. The various techniques, and nutrients used to grow are fascinating. It provides a purpose for me. A path of sorts that holds me steady. It's way too fun!

And now legislators are talking of making MMJ certify every 6 months. That is $150 for the state each time you get certified. Not counting the Doctors fee and the fee for paper work

Arizona allows MMJ but they believe in ripping off all of the MMJ patients

I'm so happy to see so many people using MMJ. It's really a miracle plant beyond getting super high. I personally stopped taking Xanax after a long, stressful day and switched to a nice quick hit of an indica. Works like a charm and I don't wake up feeling groggy or queezy.

I am disabled on very limited income the regular Doctors plan was $1,200 a month i could not afford. I tried MMJ and I stay healthy for less than 10% of that.

To call MMJ a Miracle is an understatement. It literally gave me my life back abd kept me out of Depends for years.

I smoke almost an ounce a day, and it is my personal pursuit to happiness!

Agree completely. I can't smoke the herb.

When i get herb i Grind it all up.

Fill my air tight container. I use that herb for edibles.

The rest goes in the freezer. The next day use alcohol to extract the cannabinoids of tge herb that was frozen then use 99% ISO and make Hash oil for my vaporizer.

I was a heroin addict along with zannies whatever I could get my hands on. With will and a beautiful room of plants I've been free from addiction and all of my anxiety issues for over five years. Started growing after learning in a greenhouse in which I still work. Cannabis keeps me grounded and out of trouble with the law and my own demons.

I'm with you there! After I grew my first plant I FELL IN LOVE! I've always been one to ask why and how things work, and Cannabis is no exception. When I grew my first plant I started reading all I could about Nutrient uptake, pH, Light science, and everything else involved. I loved the whole lot of it and am still wanting to learn all I can.

Then you get into Hydroponics, Genetics, Microbiology, Organic rhizospheres, and it gets more intense. But the main reason I do it isn't because I just want to learn. its because I enjoy it when Im learning and working. If you enjoy your job, youll never work a day in your life!

It just snowballed into a semi full time job for me. Seems like growing keeps snatching up my time little by little. So I grow cause it turned into a job for me but I like this job.
