10 Reasons You Should Grow Your Own Cannabis



Growing your own cannabis is a rewarding experience, and not just because of the product that results from it. If you're looking for some motivation to start your own marijuana garden, here we list ten reasons you should grow your own cannabis.

1. You'll save money growing your own cannabis. You can start growing cannabis with a budget of any size, and the cost difference between buying cannabis flowers outright vs. growing them yourself is often substantial. Most plants produce about an ounce of cannabis flowers (after drying/curing) and with a controlled indoor growing system you can manage several successful crops each year.

2. Growing your own cannabis lets you choose which strains you consume.

3. You have (almost) complete control over the growing conditions and environment. Even if you buy cannabis from a dispensary you trust, there's no guarantee about how the products you buy are cultivated. By growing your own marijuana, you choose which kinds of pesticides and fertilizers you use on your cannabis plants, or you can raise an organic crop if you want.

4. You get a chance to experiment with growing methods when you cultivate your own marijuana.

5. Raising your own cannabis gives you a better understanding and appreciation for the plants and what it takes to grow them.

Has growing hemp also been made legal? The whole anti-hemp laws were done because logging interests didn't want hemp as a competitor, but they said it was because it was essentially marijuana even though the THC levels are such you could smoke a field and not get a buzz.

I'd be interested in growing hemp.

Not to smoke but I'd be interested in edibles. I believe, however, I'd be arrested...so there's THAT. However, we are able to buy CBD products legally in Montana now. Best sleep I've had in months thanks to super concentrated CBD oil. Good stuff.

“Home grown marijuana plants, for any reason is STRICTLY PROHIBITED!” While MD is an mmj state it will, for the foreseeable future, remain a “no homegrown for any/all reasons.” That’s what happens with a Republican governor, Larry Hogan and a wishy washy Democratic majority, are not on the same page. 61% of Maryland residents approve of adult use for those 21 and older. Because MD does not have voter initiative petition we have to rely on a voter referendum. But the legislature won’t give us voters that option. I say vote everyone of those drug warriors out, be they Republican, or Democrat. Getting tired of FUCKING waiting! Especially when I see others having the freedom I so desperately desire!! 😡🤬🤬
