Hi all. My wife told me I should get a hobby. I think she is worried about a mid-life crisis setting in. I've been 37 years a musician and make my way gigging and teaching guitar and music history at the college level. Many guys respond to the big five-O by running out and buying a Les Paul but I had to look elsewhere.
I love a good high and quality weed is expensive and hard to come by down here in that reddest of red states so I had the idea to grow my own in my jam room closet. Just two weeks into my first autoflower grow I was completely hooked.
Growing combines a relaxing commune with nature with just a little James Bond-style danger and I am fascinated by how much of an art it seems to be. Louis Armstrong called marijuana his "beloved weed." I love nothing better than to get baked and play with loops, improvise and write on my guitar.
I've always felt that pot being illegal implicates God as an accessory so growing is also a way for me to quietly express a personal and spiritual truth. Funny thing - smoking weed is not all that addictive but apparently growing it can be.
