Whether you grow cannabis to ease a headache or to ease the side effects of chemotherapy, you're putting your health back in your own hands. You're also participating in a historical legalization movement.

You might even call yourself a hero. Here are my top ten reasons why.

10) To appreciate how hard your caregiver works.
Your first crop is practically guaranteed to fail. As an experienced gardener, I took on mine with the love of a farmer and the brain of a scarecrow -- all straw. Too much advice from too many schools of thought led me to forge my own path. But when I accidentally left my greenhouse door shut, my emerald field of green, just five weeks out from harvest, was baked into oblivion. Kind bud has a steep learning curve.


​9) To take a stand on legalizing marijuana.
When you get your card and set up your own legal home grow, you are entering into a movement and making a political statement. In effect, you are encouraging local agriculture and exercising a constitutional right enjoyed by few others on the face of the earth -- the constitutional right to grow pot.

8) To stimulate your brain.
Setting up a grow system takes a certain amount of critical thought. You'll have to decide if you want to grow hydro or in soil, under lights or under the sun, which nutrients to dabble in and whether you'll be starting from seed or clone. All these decisions and more will influence the outcome of your crop -- and along the way, the brainteasers will serve as an interesting challenge, especially to those tinkerers out there who have never outgrown trying to make a bong out of an Erector Set.

7) OVERGROW the gov (the sadly missed OG)

6) your miss will put out more:thumbsup:

5) like having a pet it gives ones life purpose and meaning. the awe of growing astounds me today like when i was 13. im a child every time, when that changes im probably done.

4) you know first hand whats been done to your medicine so it is safer.

3) your miss will put out more:thumbsup::thumbsup: oh oh oh oh

2) mj isnt addictive, growing it is. its fun as hell.

1) last but not least (drumroll please) after a nominal startup cost it runs aboot $10 an oz to grow your own and when you get good enough youll never see another caregiver or dispensary again. the quality is better, trust me. plus your miss will put out more
