That pic of a child admiring the beauty of a plant would freak a lot of people out by them jumping to conclusions… needlessly. In its growing state, it poses absolutely no threat to anyone that touches it… or just admires it’s beauty.
What I see in that pic is a future plant enthusiast. Some children are drawn to the beauty of nature and want to know more about it and how it works. They want to know “why”?.. or “how come”?
That was me when I was that age. Same as many of the people reading this post, we all have an affinity for plants and for some of us, that started at a very early age and has continued through adulthood. If we weren’t into plants, we wouldn’t be growing cannabis.
I’m thankful for the family I had growing up and the plant knowledge and experience I gained from their teachings and watching how things worked. It enabled me to learn to grow pretty much whatever I wanted… or had seeds for. I’m not just addicted to cannabis seeds, I’m addicted to seeds in general.
I’m the guy who will go for a walk around the neighborhood and return with a multitude of seeds/seed pods or maybe even a cutting, to sort through and check out afterwards… and one day attempt to grow.
Let me add that I am thankful for the people I’ve met, and haven’t met, on OG, too. I learn and relearn from you all every time I read about your experiences while you’re growing your plants!
