What's up everybody, I'm excited to join you here in this little corner of the internet! I was happy to find more of an "old-school" style of forum after getting pretty sick of endless bud shots and repetitive noob topics that always get pushed to the top on other platforms. After lurking for a while yesterday you all seem pretty cool and very knowledgeable/experienced.
About me: I occasionally smoked weed with friends in college and always enjoyed the effects, but never felt comfortable bREaKiNg tHe LAw and actually buying some of my own weed. Always seemed like a pain to coordinate with dealers too. Fast forward to late summer 2020 and I found myself really desiring the effects of weed rather than knocking back 3 beers a day as I did for a lot of my 20s. Still didn't wanna deal with finding a plug and wasn't really familiar with some of the THCa and Delta 8 loopholes that I could've used to get high. I've always liked gardening and DIY stuff like homebrewing so growing seemed like a fun hobby to get into. I live in an illegal state but at the time nobody was really ever coming over to our house so I decided to just go for it. I eventually ordered some seeds and the other gear and did 2 successful illegal grows in my basement in late 2020 and early 2021. Then, my wife (who the D.A.R.E. program worked remarkably well on) decided that I was no longer allowed to grow. To this day have not told anybody else that I grew except my two good stoner friends who have smoked me up many times (don't worry they got a jar of bud from me haha).
I am absolutely dying to grow again, but I will probably have to wait until we finally legalize and then renegotiate with my wife. Still got enough seeds to fill my tent for years! Based on the midterms it seems like there's a pretty good shot that it's coming in 2023, so I'm getting pretty excited that I might be able to get back into it. Even then, I think it will take some convincing because she can't let go of this notion that weed is bad/indicates some kind of moral deficiency (even though she's a huge lib...it's so weird I tell ya.) I guess it's all that propaganda, man. I know this probably sounds like "wife bad" type rambling but it just bugs me that she can't get on the same page as me on this issue when public opinion at large seems pretty favorable these days.
We also have a 4 month old. Anyone else out there grow with a skeptical wife and/or small children in the house? How did/does it work out for you?
