I do not advocate anyone break the law but there are now 14 states where medical cannabis is legal and in some of those states (CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS INCLUDING STATE, COUNTY AND CITY BEFORE GROWING CANNABIS FOR PERSONAL MEDICAL USE) patients are allowed to grow enough for personal use. Many of us know the joys of gardening already from growing our own vegetables or flowers so the leap to growing your own meds is a no brainer. For those who don't know how much fun and rewarding keeping a small garden can be, let me explain micro gardening.

Lets take a small vegetable garden for instance.

First there is the satisfaction you get from growing your own healthy foods. Seriously what could be better than that? Knowing exactly where the seeds/plants came from...none of that gene altered frankenplant crap, total control what goes on and in your plants. No harmful pesticides or fertilizers. If you want everything can be 100% organic. Your harvests will be better for you, cheaper and better for the planet. You can't get more local than your backyard or indoor growroow!

Second, gardening is a zen activity. It's one of those things that everyone can learn to do fairly quickly and eventually the actions become so simple that your sub-conscience mind is free to do the amazing things it can do when it no longer has to find something for the rest of your mind/body to do. When it's free from babysitting. A peaceful and relaxing labor that has sewn the seeds to many a great idea and invention I'm sure. It's one of those therapeutic things you come to love to do.

Third, when talking about gardens many people think you need to have a lot of space or a plot of land to garden but today you can grow more than enough vegetables for 1-2 people in a very small space. Even indoors! They also think "work" but tending a small personal garden can be as easy as caring for a few plants. With advances in CFL and LED lighting and in the area of hydroponics growing ultra small or "micro grows" capable of supplying a few people is as easy as having a fish tank. In some ways it's easier!
