nice. im born in this year!

[@johnroehsler6440]

@ his book the handbook to growing marijuana which was written in the early 80s is 100% true today. The only thing that it doesn’t include is LED lighting.

You were my hero in the '80s. I bought every issue of High Times. Your column was the highlight.

I grow over 15 years and I don't even smoke cannabis (neither sell it). I just addicted to grow (experiment) cannabis plants. Give away %99 of my harvest to patient(s) free. Cheers from overseas!

I'm currently growing Tuna Kush for my pain & sleep issues. Last crop was White Rhino. It's my hobby & my life 🇨🇦

I grow because I started smoking good weed when I got hooked up with a grower, now I have exacting standards the local dispo can't meet.

Could listen to Ed talk about cannabis for days. Absolute legend.

Thanking all growers breeders cultivators lovers of the master plant. She breeds passion and homeostasis cb2 receptor inhibits sars2. Ganja is a medicinal treasure trove. Support your local farmers peace and love.

[@alexanderh2715]

He hits the nail on the head in the intro. It's such an amazing plant. I'm not even sure if I manage to consume my harvest but the moment my ladies went into flower I already thought of new strains I can grow, thought about crossing my own favourite strain since I will hopefully have many years to still so so. Growing cannabis was legalised in Germany in April this year and I hope it stays this way because there is no way I want to be criminalised again for having a plant. My next grow will most likely be purple punch cookies.

[@richstone2627]

Thank you I enjoyed the video. Ed is the man.

I grow weed myself, it is a addictive. But damn did HPS made a come in 2024 . Because I recognize I’m addicted to say it’s not addictive is nonsense. Bro I get sick as fuck without my weed and sore as fuck. It’s physiologically addicting to I can’t go a day without smoking my weed can’t eat can’t sleep. . I get severely sick

I met him at southern Florida college talk in 2000 I believe. I got the 200% indoor growers guide & he signed it! Hello my friend🌴🤙

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Yeah I've smoked weed for about 39 years, it's not addictive 😉. I got hooked on far worse and cannabis is part of how I can stay off the hard stuff. Growing it is another part of it, I have plants to care for with love.

[@Kyle-ch2nk]

For me, the far worse stuff is alcohol... I still like to drink now and then. But without weed, it was every day. My health is much better now that I replaced my daily habit of drinking with Cannabis.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

@Kyle-ch2nk I quit enjoying alcohol when I turned 45 or so. I take kratom for pain and I smoke weed. That's it. I'm over the rest.

[@GSBoys]

[@Brandon_Budz]

I agree, growing is addictive.started when I was 15 and now I'm 42 and never stopped.i feel it sucks now in Michigan with the legalization because there's no money in it unless your growing a field and turn it all into extract because that's the big seller...grow on

[@nickneeley8798]

Im hooked on growing it i started in2018 when it became legal here in Michigan and since then I've grown a lot of pot 😂 and some good pot. It took me a few trials and error to perfect my growing skills im still learning but im producing better smoke at home than my local dispensary and im super proud of that there's nothing like it the rewards are amazing I'll never quit growing it now im hooked.

[@BryFly138]

I think I the book I bought in the early 90s closet cultivator was written by Ed . It got me started

[@DarrelLaBossiere]

I have had at least 1 plant growing since October of 2019. I use at most 1 gram in a day so I give a lot away. For me, it's so worth it. In the old days it was usually a pita to get herb. Now I have ounces of it all the time. Disclaimer: I have zero interest in government controlled weed. My product is excellent, and I owe a debt of gratitude to the old geezers that got the ball rolling. 🙏

It's 100% addictive. Try smoking daily for years, then just stopping dead... night sweats , no sleep, can't eat, body aches that's withdrawal yet alas i will never quit. i now smoke shatter daily, and it's amazing.

[@Jack-r2v9b]

I smoked for 40 years and stopped about 18 months ago, it's hard for that first month then it gets easier, still crave it now and then,had some edibles that helped get through that first month don't even think about smoking now,still growing it for friends

In the name of all young and innocent ones who don't know him: Thank you, Ed. They might not know, but they do owe. As we all do, mankind. And same as with Mushrooms: Growing is healing. They won't allow YOU to be sad. They won't rest, work 24/7 if needed just to heal and benefit YOU. Of course, they survive. And they just use you. But that you must not know or care about.

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

I grew my first cannabis plants in 1970. Everything was good until my mother realized that my “marigolds” looked different from her friend’s marigolds. That slowed me down a bit, but didn’t stop my horticultural activity. In 1974, I grew my first indoor plant. In 1975, I watched my girlfriend making cuttings from her coleus plants. I thought “ Hmmmm, I will try that with my cannabis plants”. Surprise! Surprise. They grew great. I think, therefore I am. I am, therefore I grow.
