Hello All!
I just found this site and am very happy I did!
I am 60 years old and smoked back in my teens and 20s. Kind of got to the point where smoking meant I would be "busy for the rest of the day" and couldn't really do that. I would smoke to watch a show or engage in some other activity that didn't require my participation. I even tried growing some bag seed in my basement (musty) under fluorescent shop lights and got a few plants up a few feet high and made them flower and was completely happy with the results.
As time went on, I just got away from it and didn't have a source to buy from. Pretty much smoked from 0-3 times per year.
Now that Minnesota has legal recreational use, I dug out the old High Times 1999 "grow edition" (photo) and found a local smoke shop selling seeds from a vendor which I subsequently found out has sketchy reputation and started a few CBD Auto seeds as it is August and hoped I could squeeze in before it gets too cold (already had a few nights in the low 50's). Anyway....I'll move them inside and break out the shop lights and see what I get. No need to be stealthy.... and I don't care if the odor fills my entire house... I love that smell.
Anyway ... I'm old and fat now and drink too much so I've decided to give up alcohol and take up weed. I've already lost 5 pounds getting off the empty calories of booze and find I can fully engage in conversation at happy hour with the neighbors.
Like I said, I live in Minnesota and just this year discovered that 5mg edibles have been available for some time ... and god knows for how long I've been missing out on these! So... as a non-smoker, I can take a HALF or quarter of one of those 5mg and get a little "beer buzz" or smoke some CBD flower that leaves me relaxed and fully functional. (That shy catholic "fearful of the law" schoolboy has turned into a WILDMAN!
Between edibles and some 10 year old weed that still gets me high, I probably have enough consumables to last me until the day I die.
Nevertheless, even if I DO start smoking regularly or turning my flower into edibles, I probably have enough weed, seed and edibles to last for quite a while already, but I still like the idea of growing a few plants to exercise my gardening skills and just enjoy learning how silly trying to grow under LED shop lights is ...
Hoping to learn a lot and thanks in advance for any helpful advice!
