Good luck with your grow.I can relate somewhat to your situation,five years ago I walked away from a well paying job,secure retirement (19yrs,didnt stay for the 20 for a partial)to go back to school.I will be going to grad school in a year or so after a break.I wouldnt trade it for the world.I would have taken a botany class this semester but was a bit worried about the gpa thing for grad school.I will get around it eventually.Close members of my immediate family have serious physical aliments which the weed does relieve.I have had to change my lifestyle significantly to protect myself and my little medical wonders,this means becoming more isolated and pulling back from the social stuff I used to do.In the end is it worth it?I think so,even though the risk are huge,the fact that I can provide my family with the meds they need and have a dollar or two for school/books/food/gas,etc makes it worth it.

I think you will find its nice not having to scramble around to find an 1/8 or what ever.All you have to do is walk over to your fridge,open a jar and there you are.Good luck with the grow and keep us update.Congrats on going back to school,getting your degree in Botany/Plant Science is going to make a big difference in how you view your "hobby" from now on I think.Take care,be well,and most of all be safe.:thumbsup:
