Have you grown before? To support yourself and a decent quality of life you're going to need to grow a lot of plants! I bet you'd need to grow upwards of 30-40 plants since most caregivers are giving great deals to patients like 1 free ounce per month. That is your competition! So you'd need like 10-15 patients! Good luck!

Laws are going to be changing. Some are trying to limit the number of patients a caregiver can have to only 5. If that passed your plan would be instantly shot down as you won't be able to grow enough to support yourself!

If you were here already I'd say take a crack at it. But to move here with such uncertainty and expecting to support yourself off growing alone is beyond foolish! Maybe look for a job here first and don't count on any income from growing. If you can do that then maybe its worth a shot!
