i'm happy for you! hopefully pops sees the light and allows it to continue. seriously though, show him what you know about cultivating and constantly remind him (and your ma) that this is personal use only growing, and you are VERY concerned about keeping it on the DL. i think if he knew that you knew what you were doing and weren't gonna go on a huge scale, he'd be cool. little story: i was 8 years old looking for my dad before he left for work. looked everywhere, couldn't find him. wanted to borrow money for a comic book. finally found him in his bedroom at the computer desk with the monitor off, and his head down. got super worried and asked what he was doing. he said (greatest parents ever) "rolling some doobies for the drive home after work." i didn't know what that was and he explained it to me as best he could and told me that if/when i decided to try it, to try it with him. i did when i was 13, and haven't looked back. to this day i grow or find it for them. i am blessed.
