Hello folks here at HGB,
Thank you to LdyLunatic for inviting me here. I've been poking around and am almost wondering, "What's the catch?" Sorry, it's a bit of automatic reflex. I'm here because I simply cannot afford $15/gram on the street of crap that doesn't help my mate or myself medicinally. We decided to start growing our own but didn't really know how to best do so.
So, I went to Borders and picked up Greg Green's grow bible first as I didn't know a place such as this existed, where folks shared info and experience to us beginners. I ran across another site seemingly similar but, I found it too came with strings attatched. I can't say that in regards to all members there because some were/are really decent people.
I first started to attempt geurilla growing my meds but found that to be so physically crippling that I had to stop. My mate finally decided to set the paranoia aside to let me set up an indoor grow space inside a wardrobe cabinet so long as it remains secure and doesn't attract the wrong kind of attentions. I have some baggy babies vegging right now as I don't have any kind of med strain stock. One person from the other site mentioned previously did gift me a few beans recently and aside from a few I found inside a Bogglegum bud all we had was bag beans, so that's where we began.
I had been an off and on recreational MJ user until 7+ years ago when I fell, full weight onto the corner of my steps and broke my back in two places. Now the nerve bundles exiting the L-3, L-4 and L-5 region of my spine are constantly swollen and pinched. Add in a few sqwashed disks, slight scoliosis and the weight I put on when I was unable to walk and you've got one heck of a recipy for pain and spasms. It has also been hard to go from a physically active person to sometimes having to be wheeled to the bathroom to make it there before soiling myself. Especially at my age - I was only in my 20's when I fell!
My mate had used MJ to combat the nausia from cancer treatments a bit before we met. They had been suffering with almost daily migrains since childhood but never knew toking on some decent green could help eleviate or even preventively keep them from occurring as often or as severely until we got them to give it another try.
So, we're here to learn how to make our own meds and who knows, maybe find a kindred spirit or two. Thanks LL for inviting us. Hopefully we can give back in time what folks such as yourself have given us. Good old experience, strength and hope. Well, I've gone and rambled on and on so, I think I should give you a break and shut my beak. Thanks for having me.
Sincerely, MarriedJane
