"openly" in our home means in room behind a locked door. My grow room is just a big closet built by setting up a stud wall with blue drywall on both sides in an unused bedroom with a prehung door. Painted everything with mildew resistant paint, installed a 6" duct, filter, fan, removed carpet and painted the concrete floor, mylar foil on the walls, seal around the door. The wife has never seen or smelled weed, only 1 of the adult kids has ever seen the inside of the room and only 2 other living humans, so security and the risk of contamination are controlled. So openly growing is not really a good description. I like having the herb locked up, and it makes it possible for my wife to tolerate it. She gets that it helps with my medical situation and may actually save my life by inhibiting tumor growth, but she is from a background that teaches that drugs are the devil and weed is just like heroin, crack and meth. The propaganda about weed, the deliberate campaign of misinformation, paid for with our tax money, is infuriating. The prohibition needs to end and the mission of the cops/courts/jails brought into alignment with the Constitution. Openly in the future should be the row of cannabis trees growing in the front yard with their buds being displayed on the table at the county fair next to the pies and tomatoes.
