Thank you for this!

You are heading in the right direction. I have been searching for the herb that work for my body for a couple of years now. The dispensaries are such a let down! Hand crafted small scale operations with lots of woo woo for sure. I can't wait for this to become the norm.

Keep up the good work!!

Thank you so much! Yes! I started working with a local grower and it's just night and day. And I would have had no idea if I hadn't tried it. I really hope more people have the pleasure of trying home grown and deciding for themselves.

Yup, gracias! You got this one 100% correct! There’s genetics and terroir and methodology but negate the cultivators at your peril!!! Sun-grown, regenerative in NoCal for the win!!!

Wow!! That's the weed I'm talking about!! Enlightening, cosmic, fun. The weed at the dispensaries is not at all like that!! I feel so much better that what I thought is true. Hoping we can change it. Great interview

I have a chronic pain problem (spine related) and went through the opioid phase with my doctors. Several years ago I got a weed prescription and grew several plants in my back yard. The growing part was fun. When I got around to trying the buddage, I took one puff and became so intoxicated I needed to get to bed while I could still walk. That was too much for me. What I really wanted was a pleasant high and some pain reduction. I am a computer scientist and I still need to think. I don't want to become goofy.

Have you tried a 1:1 ratio? That might give you the relief you need without being intoxicating.
