Thanks for your encouragement, as it helps plenty.

I've come a long way is likely an understatement.

Up until about 6 months ago I was very much opposed to any legaliztion of cannabis.
Still am for all other drugs and want booze taxed the daylights out of as are cigarettes, tobacco.
My change in attitude, opinion based on facts, etc was an unexpected turn of events.
It started with my notion that I wanted to try that all praised high-grade medical quality of California fame.
I'd not had a toke for decades pretty much and my neighbors enjoyed the crappy Mex which led me to partaking with them and so on it went.
Couldn't have cared less if I got a buzz every night or once every few months.
Well my neighbor's failing time and again to score even a 1/4 of the swag led me to ask around.
A person knew a person from California who smokes the med grade.
Took weeks to come about but it did.
In the month and more that followed...I saw a welcomed change in my day to day life.
Body and joint pain left me and the associated depression lifted quite a bit.
My once always lost motovation to do much of anything chores wise began to return and other improvements were noticed.
All of what I experienced was unknown by me and so it was I began my search to learn why.
When I saw the facts in and our own government making false claims and all I realized even though I was current on the nuances, I was far behind in the actual facts.
As I did my research I discovered Rick Simpson and his discovery.
That cancer can be cured and with nothing more than some consentrated THC oil.

After I went thru a nightmare of emotions realizing my mom and dad, grand mother, might well have been alive this day had our government not lied, I settled into how it all applies to me and my life.

Having little money on a modest, fixed income and no real source to even buy some high grade med quality I did what I could.

Even the crappy Mex did more and so much sooner than even I could believe and I saw the results with my own eyes on my own face.
I was shocked and doubting my eyes.

Four days and two applications of THC honey from crappy weed did what I thought was merely an exagerated fair tale.
The several cancer places on my face were gone.
Gone!!
Alas they have returned because I did not keep up the routine, as I ran out and the cannabis was skittish to even buy.
A gay guy up the street was getting me some bud when available and knew about my medical use of it.
He is a flaming prissy kinda queer and thought I was odd at the very least to use pot as a medical benefit.
Well, he had a spot on his precious forehead from a stick poking him last summer and it never scabbed over and healed.
Always the scab coming off and the small open area that was damp from drainage.
He saw my forehead two days after I used the THC honey(oil) and was estatic.
Soooo....me the nice guy had him come over and I made some THC oil for him and applied it and put a bandage over it.
Unlike me who did not use a bandage full of the oil and is really what's needed.:wtf:
He ignored my instructions to let it be for a few days until he went to his dermatologist for an exam to have that unhealed unjury looked at to then later be removed.
18 hours later here he was at my door with all the drama a queen could ever have.
His forehead looked fine and no unslightly bugger of an old wound.
He now was elated he looked so much prettier and he could now go to all the Pride Parades on the West coast!
His doctor examined the spot and only saw a healed tiny bump and no cancer from the Q-tip swabbing.
Well no shit!
The cancer was killed so no swab would find any.
The gay guy told the doc of my treatment for him and even mine and how great it actually worked.
the doctor told him there are many false healings from many a home remedies and not to make anything of it.

Now, my young 20s something neighbors are both in the medical field and saw all the before and after results and could only say maybe it worked, likely not.
Why?
Because if cannabis does kill cancer and cures, then everybody would have known about it and cancer would be cured.
Where's all the documented studies they asked?
I told them and steered them to the places to start learning from.
They still are of the insistant opinion that there's little known and surely no cures to be of note worthy attention.

If anything, I've learned just how difficult it is to sway others by way of the facts.
Also learned why the move towards legalization is met with brick walls and negative public opinions.

A weed of a plant that cures and helps medically and has no lethal dose nor complictions in light of how well it works.

Too easy and too simple.

And all along in full view in our faces.

And I could really appreciate your knowledge and help soon when I get the set-up for a grow,
I am planning on a hydroponic system cabinet as soon as my property sells and the money is in the bank.
To think a higher, up to 40% more yeild, would result in this way of growing seems to make sense not to grow any other way.

I have the beans now so all's left is everything else. ~sigh~

Got a dozen super white haze that is supposed to have a 8 week harvest time.
By the end of June I hope to have a couple of Mason jars full of sticky sweet buds!
Meanwhile....I so badly need some high grade to keep up with the cancer treatment.
Hence, why I have to consider moving to California or Oregon.

Here in Albuquerque those who have the high grade won't sell any and those who would do not have any.

Kinda pisses me off when another can get some high grade for me but won't because I am not a bonified mmj card holder and the Cause is in danger if they dare sold any to any no-card criminal.

These same hypocrites don't have their mmj card and so buy their cannabis illegally...from yet another who is not a mmj card holder.

Maybe it's me....dunno.

But if I had access to the high grade and someone asked me to get it for them and they were atleast serious in their endeavors medically, I would be more than happy to and would do everything and then some so I could to score for them.
For damn certain if I had my own grown I would let them purchase what they needed from me and I'd keep them in supply so long as they needed and I had buds ready for them to dump in a bowl.
I can understand the logic not providing for a teenager stoner who was a drain on the Cause.
But to cop-out with a grown, mature and responsible adult??
No way.

Sooooooooo far to go it seems.

Your situation is dire when moving across the country becomes a realization for your well-being. And I believe you need to improve the quality of your life by making that medicine more available to you. But as you mentioned there's a lot needed to start up your own MMJ grow. Having a bachelors degree in plant biology; I know that it's a big endeavor setting up/maintaining hydroponic systems. It's easy to mess up and has a high start-up cost and requires a lot of specialized machines, tools, materials, and space.

What your doing is absolutely not wrong and you need access to your medicine.
