I know this sounds strange, but, I did not plan on this much bud. This was an exceptional growing season and I am still trimming and curing. I grew 2-ac/dc plants and so far have 4 gallon jars of product with only one plant processed. I grew 4- OG Kush that grew into monster plants 8 1/2 feet tall. I have processed 2 1/2 plants and have 6 1/2 gallons of bud. Still a lot of bud to finish processing and I really do not need this much product. It is smoked, made into salve, hash, tinctures, oil and edibles. Is there something else I can do with it? I wish I knew someone to share with, trade with or barter or someone that really need some MMJ. We use it for my wife’s pain and other medical uses and I smoke some BUT this is insane this year. Open to suggestions. I know it sounds odd but wow, what a dilemma. Photo is early in the harvesting and curing. More has been processed since this ![9694F209-D464-42C4-AA70-ED1E1C6869B5](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/d/8/d88c357fabb86c00abb5431092372c7a0c95147e.jpeg) ---

Dunno if you’re in a legal state, but you could talk to a dispensary to see if there was a source that they donate to. Sometimes you’d be surprised at the answer they come up with. @kolive ---

@kolive out of likes again, but tag me with whatever answer they give you. I heard about a program that donates to vets. Helps PTSD and the list goes on… They may have a connection with that. I dont know. The biggest problem I see is not being a licensed grower, not saying your quality isn’t there, but could be a paper politcal nightmare. ---

The rough trim is on the ac/dc where I use all the leaf and bud for the CBD product. The OG Kush is all trimmed of leaf. ---

I’m in the same boat. I have 4 pounds in jars and smoke a gram a week. So I give it away and barter it for produce and eggs and whatnot. I have a friend who’s severely disabled and has used cannabis for years, so we hooked her up. ---

What a great harvest! Well done @kolive I would also check online or whatever and see if there are any veterans in need that might benefit as well. @Myfriendis410 is a great act to follow. I will soon be in the same boat and I am in a legal state so gifting is where most of mine will be going! ---

All the suggestions for giving away to needy and those who would appreciate it wonderful ideas, I encourage it, at least 10% would be very generous. Keep a grip cured and stored properly and start planning for next year. ---

Is the AC/DC low thc and high cbd? I have a friend looking for that. If allowed can you tell me where I can get some of those seeds? ---
