Please send mrs & mr. @bodhi some good vibes folks. They deserve all the credit, not me. @MojoRizing deserves it too. I’m just a guy who has been blessed and I’m trying to share. That’s the thing about blessings - when you share them with others, you multiply the good vibes. If you hoard them or try to capitalize them, you remove the good vibes.
Instead of trying to make money off rare strains regardless of how you obtained them, instead of manipulating people or situations to get what you want, instead of leveraging them to your advantage or to make you look important, instead of currying favor with breeders and other “important” industry people, instead of flaunting your seed collection and wealth accumulation, I figure take what you’re blessed with and and give back. Pay It Forward. Just like @Torontoke imagined a long time ago. I’m grateful to him for sharing his vision because it makes sense to me. Too many people think of what they can get from a situation, from others, from resources. I’d rather think of what I can do to give, in every scenario, everywhere, all the time. Greed and selfish thoughts are ruining the world.
Money does weird shit to people. I try not to think about weed in terms of value, better or worse, nicer or not as nice compared to anyone else. We’re not in competition - we’re all in this together because we enjoy the plant. For different reasons, for sure, but some reasons are shared. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I like what I like, and you like what you like.
The original Overgrow was about coming together to share resources and info and genetics and overgrow the planet. Together. I’m not against people making money off weed necessarily, especially if they need the money or they’re extra generous, but I am against unrepentant greed and predatory practices. And all the so-called “medical” marijuana BS in the industry where they poison the weed with their greed. All the stuff I spoke about in my original Giving Back To The Community thread.
So instead of praising or thanking me, let’s thank and praise all those people I mentioned. They’re good peeps. They’re the ones who deserve the credit. Let’s praise and thank each other. 
I’m a nobody, I have no connections, nor do I aspire to any, and I’m not special. There are lots of people with similar attitudes and styles here and everywhere, and we need more of them. We need more people actively working to counteract the greed and selfish world we live in. I believe in being the change you want to see, practicing what you preach, and honestly considering the impact of your words and actions on people both before and after you do them.
Let’s show kindness and generosity to everyone else, both in our daily lives and online. Please be kind, be generous, be patient, be forgiving, and be compassionate. Those are the things that will lead to a better world for everyone.
