Most Ideal Growing Region

So I've had a few closet grows that I've played with, ended up giving most away. So money got really tight while I was taking classes so I had no choice really but to move back in with family. It goes without saying I can't have anything set up here. They know I smoke but I have to be stealth about toking, which really sucks. By the way, if anyone knows anything about IN they would know how terrible of a state it is to live for a stoner. They will definitely arrest you here for even having the smallest pipe or any amount of herb. God forbid they find a grow show they practically treat it worse than armed robbery.

So yea, I'm gonna finish my classes hopefully this semester so I should be free in December and want to get out of here right quick. Plus, for doing outdoors here, IN also sucks balls because there's not many good spots, gotta love that urban sprawl. So where would be a good area of the country to be living in to have a lot of areas to pick from. I love to go kayaking and backpacking so that would kill two birds with one stone. Maybe I'm blind but around me I can't seem to find any areas that aren't in the middle of some farmer field, and I want to be respectful.

So my plan is, I'll have my degree in the winter here and then I'd like to move. I can find my own place and get something going. I tried putting some seeds outside, bagseed and just for shits and giggles, got nothing. So yea, I'm gonna definitely go clones next season without question. Why put all that time and effort into something you might have to kill. I want to keep up with my hobbies but not set myself up for failure either. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. One love y'all

I'd say the farther south, the better. Also a region that isn't dreadfully rainy or humid in the fall.
