Why and how did you start growing for the first time

I live in Turkey, which is a very strict country about any kind of drug, people think that the weed is as "dangerous" as cocaine or heroine, cause many people are ignorant and dont have an idea about what "marijuana" is. Almost all kind of drugs are under the control of the pkk which is an armed seperative terrorist group claiming territory control of the south east side of turkey, so this is one of the reasons, i know that every single gram that i bought is going to return me as a bullet, or a bomb. Second is, the dealers. Theyre almost all gipsy, or bad looking thugh guys, or looking unreliable, that makes me worried and nervous about the process of the deal, i dont know if the dealer is gonna rob me, or is gonna scam, and many times they just get the money, go somewhere else and bring the "stuff" to you, you dont even know if he is gonna get the money and runaway. Here is the 3th reason which is the most important element for me. The quality. Believe me, turkish weed might be the worst one in the world, many of them are either hermies or even males. I didnt even know that buds with seeds means male or hermy until i found the blogs and educational forums about marijuana. Stuff is really shitty, and way more expensive than the actual value. You can nearly never get a good stuff. And there is no standarts, its all up to your chance, i "rarely" get some good stuff sometimes, but many times its shitty. You dont choose the strain, you dont choose the effect or anything else, you have to buy whatever he brings you, i miss those buds in Amsterdam and Barcelona, they really rocked. Fuck this shit i said, im gonna research and find out how to grow myself properly. I believe that im one of the very few people who grows at home in turkey, and im proud of it, other people are free to keep smoking the shit they sell on streets, lol, i just roll for myself.

So what was your reason and motivation, im curious about it if you spare some time to share it :)

I started growing so I could free Kurdistan.

I was motivated by the movie midnight express. Seriously though, I was tired of having to pay for canna all the time, so I spent a few thousand dollars and learned to grow hydro so I wouldn't have to buy it again (defies logic). Not to mention, you can grow all the top strains in the world in your basement. Who wouldn't want to do that?

Started as a helper in a old timers plot ....learned a lot from him then he passed away and I couldn't find anything as good as his on a regular basis .....started growing because I have a sis with cerebral palsy which mmj is the only thing that keeps her seizures at bay .......I grow to make sure she gets the best medicine she can as well as others like her and several terminally ill friends .....I don't grow for profit I have a normal job to pay my bills .....I started when I was very young and now it's become my hobby and I love seeing other people enjoy the fruits of my labor not to mention myself obviously .....my payment Is to see people who are sick get to feel better and have a quality of life thanks to my gardens......

I was just plain sucked into the tech, the mystique, the thrill.

Then I got a felony in 1991. Ahead of my time.

I've been growing again for ten years and they've been the best of my life, just as every year growing has been.

I'm going to create something with all this, and it will be because weed allowed it to happen.

Well never had more than 5 grams, its my first grow so, :D those creepy dealers are always late, too late, i remember waiting them for 12 hours, not kidding though,!
Only 12? Mine decided to go away for the weekend without bringing me my green first despite saying he would. I had to bum some dirt weed off the old guy down the street.
