Hi 👋, im john. Nice to meet everyone, we’ll this is the start of my story. I have been an avid cannabis smoker for 30yrs now. Wow to hear me say that is crazy. The first time I was introduced a cannabis. I was twelve years old. It was like 5 of us in an ally smoking, at first I didnt know what to expect, it felt like a dream. So this was the start, we would hang out and smoke tell jokes eat food and plane on how we would get more. As a kid I had behavioral problems, always getting into trouble or into stuff. I was what u called a latch key kid, so my mom had to work and I raised me. What I didnt know(until an adult) that I had ADHD and couldn’t sit still. Smoking relaxed me, I just felt normal and chill my brain was not running a mile a min, I loved the effects. As I kid i was alwasy intrigued with growing cannabis and how it was done. So I started to learn what I could but back then the information on growing was not out there like that. You really needed to know someone, so my information only went so far. I would say the last 4yr really but a bug in me to grow and I really started to dive deep into the cultivation process. I watched every video I could about it, and just did a ton of research. Unfortunately I couldn’t grow when I originally wanted to. But for me im not just growing a plant or weed/ something to smoke. Now dont get me wrong I love to smoke, but my passion is to create. I want to be able to make my own strains and hold genetics, I would like my name to be known for the work i do. Marijuana has come so far from when I started smoking and has benefited me is so many ways, from helping with my ADHD to my continuous depression, in my darkest hrs it has helped me be stable. Now I want to return the favor and help others. Some day I wish to be up there with kyle kushman. Thank you for reading my story and getting to know a little more about me. ---
