hey guys,

I have a question for you all. Obviously we are all growers, and we all kinda understand (I hope anyway) that we are taking a gamble every time we plant a seed, or make a clone, or flower a plant out. Rippers, police, DEA weather pests etc can all take our work and zero it out. What I am curious about, how many of you out there are financially dependent on the garden? How many are using the plant to achieve a better life? What are your concept/ideas on how to achieve the "American Dream" using cannabis? I mean, I am damn near 30 years old, have no credit, and am just as far away from buying a house as I was at 18. I keep chugging, thinking man, just one good outdoor harvest or just a few more indoors, and I can achieve some lasting rewards. Somedays it feels like a pipe dream, and sometimes it feels so close I can damn near taste it. IDK if I am just out of touch, practicing bad habits, or what, but the dream of homeownership seems so much harder to achieve nowadays. I guess what I am asking, whats working for you guys? What are your plans on stepping on life? I know I am tired of asking a landlord permission for a dog, to build, change, paint, or be forced to move etc. Anyway, end rant!

Stay free, stay high

@papapayne, thanks for the kind words. As for your rant, I understand you on a few different levels. No, I am not financially dependent on the garden. I would love to get into that end the of it, but right now it's a hobby. I love to watch things grow, both out of soil and out of life. We take risks, hopefully understand the consequences, but in the end its a plant. A plant that is changing many lives, so I believe the lines of risk/success/consequence are blurring. With the "Green Wave", more people see it as $$ more than anything. I'm 28, racked up a bit and of debt when I was younger, so of course I see those $$ growing in my backyard. My girlfriend and I both work full time for jobs we hate, have aspirations to find a bit of land to call our own, and travel the country before we get to making babies. Having goals, whether long term or short term, keep us going. This wonderful plant keeps me sane, I guess that keeps me goin', too. :D Knowing it can be so lucrative, knowing that " this could be the year/season " to help achieve those goals... So tangible you could taste it. I understand, Sir. Keep chugging, is all I can say/do myself.

Man this is going to get too close to conspiracy theories. I think that "american dream" is bunk. I've seen too many people get a little money and influence from working the herb and that little illusion of power went straight to their head. For sure that's not everyone but I've seen more inflated egos in this 'business" and questionable morals when money is on the line. In the end is comes down to what we take and what we give. Lots of people living shitting lives so that "we" can have it good. It's more about appreciating right now and acknowledging the consequences of our actions/choices. What's happening is that power and abundance of resources has been claimed or used up, and so it's shifted elsewhere. America isn't what it was for our grandparents and thats good and bad in many ways. And there is an abundance, we could be shifting into balance and sharing prosperity and a better quality of life for the world. But those same egos on a bigger level are controlling the game, or at least working to prevent the masses from it. Just saying.... life is what happens when you're busy making plans.
