Not since the 70's...
I've already put this bit at the beginning of my "First Grow" newbie post... but I have the kind of mind that isn't a lot of fun to inhabit, and part of that is a bit of OCD, so I want to put my introduction here.
Hi everybody, as Dr Nick says on the Simpsons… I’ve decide to grow some dope. That’s what we called it back in the 70’s, and I’m much too old to change. As this is a journey of some importance for me, as will become clear in a minute, I’m going to ramble a bit. Hope that’s OK as per forum guidelines.
I’m a 61-year-old man who has suffered from anxiety (bad nerves, we said back then) and depression all his life. For various reason I WON’T go into here, the last 7 years have been catastrophic for me, and have left me on the suicide register at my local surgery. I used to numb my pain with alcohol – drank heavily for maybe 35 years, and finally had to knock it on the head for health reasons, 9 years ago.
I kind of want to survive – sometimes – but none of the doctor’s meds have helped (and believe me, I’ve tried them all over decades). I desperately need something powerful enough to relax me, at least for a couple of hours. At least for a couple of evenings a week. I think I can maybe handle the rest if I have that.
So that’s the history lesson. My knowledge of dope is about 40 years out of date; however, my researches have reminded me that there are C sativa & C indica, with the latter having a higher yield of cannabidiol – which, apparently, is going to be more suited to my needs than high-THC strains. I don’t know exactly what “couchlock” is, but it sounds like what I’m looking for!
Anyway, I've decided to give this a go - you can watch my clumsy and unconventional methods elsewhere
