I dont grow yet

i share pretty much most reasons given above by others.
but assuming if i was, these would be my reasons ordered by influence:

1. Cost of buying is just too much these days.
2. all sorts of risks (of doin buisness) with "drug dealers" and gangsta wannabes
3. Area runs out of bud exactly when u want it the most, i.e. right b4 a holiday
4. Being able to get actually what I want in contrast to whats available
5. I love mother nature and gardening. the willingness to live and grow, it always makes me wonder.
6. I generally like "home made" stuff lol
