Well, I am 40 years old and I grew up in western Canada, I smoked weed for the first time when I was younger and it was the start of a beautiful relationship. Alcohol was ok, but after seeing my friends get sick every weeekend from drinking I knew it was not for me.
Back in the 80's weed was plentiful but was mostly Mexican brick shit that would get you high but hash and oil were the prizes of the day.
Over the years I cut way back on my smoking as most of my jobs had zero tolerance when it came to cannabis. I also had to be carefull after moving to the U.S. in 2001 as I could have been deported if caught with any amount of drugs, I am now a legal citizen though and have some what safely returned to enjoying my old habit.
Since the 80's weed growers have mastered the art of genetics and gardening to the point of producing some extremely potent strains the likes of which we never knew existed years ago. Sadly where I live they are hard to find and your usually not getting what is advertised at horrendously expensive prices I may add.
Last year my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was then that I got the idea of starting my own grow in the hopes of getting her a proven weapon against some of the side effects of todays cancer treatments. She was not a smoker at the time and if she was going to use I wanted her to have a good supply of the best medicine I could grow.
Thankfully the cancer was caught early enough and while she did undergo some extremely aggressive surgery and reconstruction over the last year she is cancer free and did not require chemo therapy or radiation.
My grow which was well underway after getting her clean bill of health was a fantastic distraction for me while living through the nightmare that cancer brings to a familys life.
That hobby has now turned into my passion and I am anxiosly awaiting my first grow to finish.
