This c**t should have been swallowed

[budfarmer]

the reason a lot of older people are now smoking it too is probably due to the fact that they realise it helps with pain relief and a multitude of other illnesses too ... ohhhh and that theyve realised the government are a bunch of lieing, scare-mongering, greedy bastarde too ....

They all grew up in the 60s so makes sense. Now days younger generations are into the Charlie and legal highs... dumbasses

Im nearly 51, been smoking cigs since 11, cannabis since 14...Started smoking both at a nice Catholic secondary school...realised very quickly it was suited to my brain/body chemistry and have enjoyed smoking ever since.

I like the creative/energetic high as it suits my work and there are/were no contributing factors...i.e born in 60's, mates all smoked it, easy to get etc. my dad's mate used to smoke it occasionally and one day I asked him for a bit...it went on from there...just 2 of us, 4th year secondary school at bottom of sports field. Just found it had an effect that I could work with and it calmed my racing mind down to a level where I could focus.

Not the stereotypical stoner...I smoke about 1 1/2 oz a week, from about 7am to 1am daily, I miss out on the other 6 hours as I am sleeping ...I work usually minimum 10 hour days, although at the moment it is more like 12,13 & 14 as I am on a mission

Have always wanted to grow but circumstamces, until a year ago, prevented it. I have helped others setup grooms and germinate seeds over the last 10/15 years but never grown anything apart from Cress in infant/junior school.

I made the decision to start in January last year and after a bit of searching about on t'internet found this place to be awesome, so I joined and haven't looked back since

I can now get my creative/energetic harvested at the right moment so its guaranteed and have saved a shit load of money. Up until now I have done 2 or 3 plants at one time and have ran out a few weeks before harvest of next lot.

This time, I have 2 Cindy Jocks just about ready to chop, literally days away...and 8 other plants, 7 different strains just flipped...no running out again

Thankyou very much members of THCTalk...its been a fantastic year

In the very near future, I will be moving house so a purpose made building for my grow + will happen and I will document on here when I start
