I am all for that philosophy and live by it. I am constantly turning down offers to buy seeds or pollen from me. Itās just not how I do things. Free the seeds fellow growers, it is itās own reward.

Heehee, ya I got that!!! Not only that, I got plots on 3 properties, and a handful of friends that either need help growing (read: rookies) so I get to have a pile of fun. I gotta be careful, youāll NEVER find anything on my Facebook or public social media platforms, not even in fb messenger, or ill be āpoofā gone. I donāt Tik or Tok, nor Snap my Chat, and barely Twit, except to look at political crap when I need to see what the sheep are baa-ing about and feed my commie paranoia.
Just saying, living in MA is sweet for a grower. You gotta follow the rules mostly. Thereās so much growing that people deliver dank weed in variety for 50 bucks a lid. So I donate mine to cancer patients, and people that really need the medicine and canāt afford the rip-spensaries. Thatās the other pisser, besides the growers that sell stuff cheap, and the dispensaries, you can grow to your hearts content. But making money off flower, is dead. Helps me pay for some stuff, like my plow guy, the occasional plumber or electrician I may need, and of course, thereās always the fam with their hand out, which I happily fill. Wtf else am I gonna do but let all that weed rot?
So having the land to grow in a legal state can be a double edged sword.
Be careful what you wish for.

see, I find there is a balance to be found when it comes to selling and giving. For some of us, breeding itself, as a hobby, it is a life long passion that we had to hide away. All the while perfecting our craft and sharing among friends online and off. Some of us have careers or decent jobs that provide stable incomes. Myself, I breed to find the plants that relieve my disabilities and I used to only breed for hobby, then charity then at the urging of othersā¦ for sale. I have nothing else to fall back on and have fought tooth and nail for disability which I now have but no incomeā¦ just a parking pass and a tax creditā¦ woohoo. Screwed by the system big time and I just want the same thing everyone else doesā¦ to do what Iām good at, what I am passionate about and what I loveā¦ growing cannabis and breedingā¦ so i donāt feel bad when I drop seeds at the seed banks for reasonable prices. Itās all I got and I also try and balance that with giving and sharing when the opportunity presents itself.
Iāll never feel bad about that.

Iām the same way especially with my Alpha patch which is right outside my window, 10 feet from my head where I sleep. It seems I am constantly inspecting, looking, touching, turning, and putting love into my girls. Itās awesome to watch the Garden grow, whether youāre plucking some weird bug off, spotting some little frog on a leaf, or walking out in the morning light fog to watch a flock of birds take off that have been feeding on insects, picking your plants clean of some early possible infestation that they prevented. Itās like watching Magic Rocks. Remember Magic Rocks when we were kids. Drop them in water and theyād slowly grow into crystal mountains.
Only now itās green crystal mountains, and we design the colors and creations.
Iāve said this before, our plants are like our children. We give birth to them, watch them grow up. We feed them and care for them. Fret over them when they are sick. Take care of them and only want the best for them. And when they are old and ready to pass, we gently put them to rest. We honor their spirit in the form of medicine, and pass this medicine to our friends and people that need it.
Growing is a gift, a blessing, and those of us that grasp this concept understand, somewhere deep inside of us, the importance of what we do. Some of us grow inside, some outside. Some seek landraces or phenotypes, create tinctures, butters, or concentrates.
We recreate our strains with seeds and clones. Marijuana has been a mystical, medicinal plant for centuries. And we, we continue to carry the torch, strive to make it better, more versatile, and more importantly, to share it as freely as we can, without greed, without victims or victimization.
Thatās why I grow. Thatās why I continue to grow. Thatās why Iāll always grow.
I look forward to continuing this path, my path. Our path.
Blessings upon your harvests.
May your medicine be strong, and your heart remain pure.
