Marijuana is likely one of the most interesting and rewarding plants to grow, if only because it has a remarkably short lifespan. You get to see the entire process from germination to harvest in only three to six months and, of course, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor when the process is finished.
Many prospective growers might take to growing marijuana with an air of
nonchalance, but that is really not the way to go about it. It is a labor-intensive
effort that requires you to take great care of the plants if you want the best
product by harvest time.
Even though it can be somewhat difficult, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be
attempted at all. In fact, many people who have no gardening or horticultural
history whatsoever have taken to growing cannabis.
Many people suggest that, while you can’t become addicted to marijuana use,
you can certainly become addicted to marijuana growing.
This beginner grow guide can undoubtedly give you a solid foundation to
help make growing your marijuana garden a much simpler process overall.
Of course, as marijuana’s murky legal history in the United States (and, really,
around the world) will let you know, growing marijuana comes with a certain
amount of risk.
Even the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana (Colorado
and Washington) still maintain strict laws about actual marijuana growth.
Indeed, the federal government has yet to back down from its stance that both
marijuana possession and growth are punishable offenses.
But that doesn’t stop people from growing it, and there are plenty of ways to
ensure that you maintain a certain amount of security during the process.
The interesting thing about marijuana’s legal status in modern times is that the plant and humanity have shared a sort of symbiotic relationship for centuries. The plant has thrived as a result of cultivation and humans have benefited from the medicinal effects that cannabis provides. Indeed, up until about 70 years ago, cannabis was used in Western medicine as a way to treat all kinds of different ailments.
Unfortunately, many governments across the world have criminalized it despite
the fact that it is one of the most innocuous drugs that you can use. It does not have the addictive properties of hard narcotics like cocaine or heroin and, in some cases, it’s even safer than using commonly prescribed drugs. So grow and smoke as much as you want…
