I am a fickle bitch lolRight. Well- I think you have made your decision. I think the legality surrounding Cannabis is silly. Its my time to kick what is a crutch for me, for those reasons I listed above.
Stay strong pal, enjoy the next smoke.
I stopped smoking, importing etc... and did a 3+ decade career. Amazingly when I got done pot was right here waiting for me. Go do your life. Pot will wait and it will be all the better for your honorable choice. I respect that a lot. Good luckI am a fickle bitch lol
Im staying clean until the holidays are over at the very least. I won't toke until I've formally withdraw my application.
I appreciate everyone who's commented and I will take all of this into consideration. Thank you all.
I haven't been alive 3 decades, so I understand the sentiment, however I struggle to identify with it.I stopped smoking, importing etc... and did a 3+ decade career.

Welcome to perspective. You can learn from others or be the horrible example, as my mother would have said. It's your life, enjoy it.I haven't been alive 3 decades, so I understand the sentiment, however I struggle to identify with it.
I dont mean to sound like a depressed asshole, but weed is one of the only things that makes me happy. Growing weed (along with therapy) brought me out of a really aggressive depression brought on by my families buissiness of 70 years burning to the ground March 14th 2020, covid, the dissolution of my relationship due to my partner relapsing while I was trying to quarantine, and then finding out she got pregnant (not by me) 6 months after our break up.
The life i had planned literally went up in smoke. Growing weed has given me structure, focus, and pride. The smoke is the cherry on top, and I'm just not sure the life of a sober electrician is the life I want. I've got time to think about it, and I intend on doing just that.

You can't change the cards you are dealt, sometimes it is best to fold and wait for better cards.I haven't been alive 3 decades, so I understand the sentiment, however I struggle to identify with it.

I disagree with the analogy, but I agree with the sentiment.You can't change the cards you are dealt, sometimes it is best to fold and wait for better cards.
Ok now I need to know how you win over the given field.I disagree with the analogy, but I agree with the sentiment.
I've been shuffling the cards my whole life
My apologies, its been a long day, I dont know what you mean. Care to elaborate?Ok now I need to know how you win over the given field.
Learning is GOOD!Luckily I am allowed to grow with a medical card. My end goal is to have a well rounded skillet that allows me to work in the marijuana industry at a level where the pay isn't complete dogshit. If that fails, I want to grow the best God damn weed I can and teach others to do the same.
Well if things go legit across the US then they will have to allow use otherwise they are gonna have a hard time finding workers. Its happening more and more and with covid the demand for workers is at all time high. I know many folks who can work and drink a case a beer a night, why shouldn't a person be able to smoke a joint to deal with the stress of the day. My favorite is pissing in a bottle knowing I have weed in my system and gambling on they aren't checking for THC.I believe each company is going to have their own policy even after legalization
Once they find a universal test for people who are actually inebriated at the time of the drug test, which is the next billion dollar invention, life will be alot easier.
Exactly this.Well if things go legit across the US then they will have to allow use otherwise they are gonna have a hard time finding workers.

At this point I forget where I was going with this. Sorry for overselling.My apologies, its been a long day, I dont know what you mean. Care to elaborate?
All good my guy, all goodAt this point I forget where I was going with this. Sorry for overselling.
I appreciate your take and I am happy it worked out well for you. Thanks for the input.I gave up consuming and growing years ago when I got an opportunity for a very good job. I only started growing again a few years ago when my state legalized medical. Prior to that, it was very risky to grow here. I still don't consume anything. I don't really have an urge to, even though it's in my face every day, and I was consuming quite heavily before I quit.
For me, it was the right choice. I have kids and family to take care of, so having a super solid job is very important. It sounds like the opportunity to do electrical is good for your future. There's always demand for that trade.
Like someone said above...wear gloves when tending to the garden, trimming, handling buds, etc...
Good luck! Peace
I have to quit smoking for the IBEW, its a nessessary sacrifice. I refuse to stop growing because I love it, it makes me genuinely happy. I am a bit bummed, but I am looking forward to growing the best bud I can.
I am curious if anybody else has had to quit and continued to grow? Did it help or hurt? What would you do in my shoes?
Here are some pics from my first ever grow, earlier this year.

Work toward the Union job, work the overtime, max out whatever IRA's and 401K that's offered and plan on retiring when you're 50. You got a real chance at a good life and future in the IBEW, take it. Good Luck!...Im 27 now...
