This is by no means about being too lazy to work. I, too, refuse to take a 60k job- yes, I turned down a job that would have DOUBLED my salary about 18 months ago because it just didn't seem like it would have made me happy- just for financial security.
Growing pot makes me happy. It's never going to make me rich.
If it were orchids, it would not be a problem.
But it's not.
I, too, share your passion for cannibus-the iconic peace sign. I just wish to be its ambassador! I've smoked for 8yrs now and I wish I would've smoked sooner. It kinda gives life an artful twist.
