Yes, I love to smoke high quality marijuana -and have for over 40 years…..well the marijuana part, anyway! 
The "quality" aspect has been hit/miss. I mean, if we wanted to smoke weed back in the old days, then we had to wait until "the shipment" came through town and then had to pretty much accept whatever it was. Sometimes it was good. Sometimes it was the worst you could ever even imagine!
Without the allowance of medical marijuana patients to grow their own plants, it was just too risky to try and really get into growing marijuana, before. And you had to be a special kind of person to grow it when it meant that getting caught could put you in prison for a long, long time! But, nowadays, since growing it within the state law is cool, and the technological advancements in lighting and other aspects of gardening tools that can be utilized to grow it more successfully, a lot more hobbyists are getting into the actual satisfaction of growing their own plants -not for the sake of becoming an illegal drug dealer (under the law) and making a lot of money like Tony Montana (lol!)….But, rather, for just the enjoyment of seeing the plants grow….Am I right? Come on!
I spend a lot of time with my new hobby. I'm trying to find that "elite" strain. I'm trying little tweaks here and there in my tent, with the nutrients or the lighting or the temperature or the air movement. I read a lot on RIU. I read a lot of articles related to growing. I have a lot of advice to pick and choose from now. There are so many "right" ways to grow it…waaaay more options than there used to be….RDWC, aeroponics, supersoil -just to name a few!
I continue to learn from experience and it now seems that the satisfaction of growing the plants is right up there with smoking/vaping the best! Now that I've been growing my own for awhile, the thought of going to the dispensaries or to the recreational stores is not as appealing. I mean, I still check it out to see what's out there…but now its not so much about just getting high.
Any others out there addicted to growing?
