I sent my original application in with person X as my primary caregiver, and this person's name is on my redcard as my primary. I designated Releaf as my primary on my first visit.

When I call him my primary, I just say that because I don't know anyone else who grows marijuana, so he's the only 'caregiver'/'primary caregiver'/'pot grower' who I deal with, so that's his label to me sometimes. I also purchase his raw product when it's available. I think he's selling me the bottom third of his plants, because he's an old friend of my brothers, and he's been growing for years. He thinks he's invented a perfect, patentable grow system. I'll get into it if you'd like but it's nowhere near unique to him. Anyway, he's really cocky and arrogant and thinks he's going to be a millionaire. When we talk, he always talks himself up like he's gods gift to growing. I can see his arrogance since growing bud is pretty cool to non bud growers I think.

Yet, the medicine he provides is what I would compare to 'mids' or what I understand are 'bc' or 'beaster' buds. Good trichome structure, but shitty quality and potency. His stuff never comes close to what I buy from shops. I have searched on craigslist a few times, but my experience is sketchy, there are lots of scammers there.

I was simply trying to give as many details as possible for this post.

Releaf is currently my primary caregiver or primary center or whatever the language is.

Moving forward, I would like to stop paying $45-$50 for top quality buds, since I smoke somewhere north of 2-3 ounces every month. That's a lot of money. I don't mind paying it since that's the only place I know of to purchase quality medicine.

Moving forward, I am now in a position where I can start to grow for myself, so I have started messing around. I can't wait to grow a plant that I can smoke. That's going to be an awesome bowl, no matter the quality. I can't do anything small scale. For example, I have a single plant in a 4x4x8 tent with a texas controller. Just because I'm too lazy to top off during the week. That's overkill, but who cares if it works?

If this growing thing works out, I am going to look into caregivership. I have 5 friends who smoke who are not patients, so I could easily have 5 friends sign me up. I would probably pay their fees if they get a high plant count or something.

That would open my options up down the road, so these questions that I am asking now could apply in the future.

But I work as part of a large family business, and I have a public presence there. I would hate to be connected to an illegal grow arrest or whatever. I'm just covering my bases.

Also, this subject affects a large portion of the readership here, in my opinion.

I don't think anything I just posted really matters or is relevant, but I try to be as transparent as possible, something that's generally frowned upon here. No one shares anything. I don't know if the lack of candor comes from apathy, arrogance, shame, paranoia or what. I think our pot culture should embrace growers and stop being so adversarial. I can see 5 years ago growers don't want to share their knowledge. With this industry becoming legit, it's really surprising to me that newcomers aren't welcomed. But I guess I can see how you might feel like I am the wellspring to your d9. Or something.
edit2 I feel like you are looking to catch me in a lie or something, like I am dishonest about my posts here or something. Is that it? Do you think I am lying or otherwise being dishonest here? I went out of my way to explain to someone else (or maybe you) why I didn't work at releaf or something. I don't have anything to hide, do you understand that?
edit3 I guess I lied in my post when I state I've only used him and then said I've used craigslist. Is that important enough to you that you think I lied?
