but tbh networking is bad. the 1st rule about growing is "never tell anyone" and if growers network together a rat will work into the network at some stage. also it will have turned small self growers into evil drug dealers. because you know that somewhere down the line kids will get their hands on the product. would you really like to have that on your conscience? i can see your point and there would be a lot of benefits however the risk/reward ratio is crazy.
i do agree that people should be able to get theres hands on good weed ONLY, but a network of growers may not be the best way for the growers to go about it.
but there is a shit load of weed on the market right now. it's all over the place, i'm sure that it's homegrown as it's been around for months now and it hasn't changed type. i forget what it's called something like "cheese" or "orange something" but there's tons of it and it looks set to be around for a long time. i'm sure when it's gone there will be another grower ready to take it's spot
