Growing your own marijuana will be similar to making your own beer or wine. It takes a lot of work and time and therefore most people won't do it. But yeah, of course some will.
- jcomis 12y agoI think a lot of people are growing it casually on their own. I see plants in backyards all the time here in Denver. It's not really that comparable to homebrewing which needs equipment and skill. More like gardening.
- arasmussen 12y agoOkay but think ahead 10 years. Do you think that's going to linearly extrapolate to the entirety of the United States? Everybody's gonna grow pot now? Doubtful. It's a new exciting thing so a ton of people are doing it. Gardening takes work, growing great pot presumably takes a lot of effort (I have no idea, but I'd assume you'd have to at least do better than outdoors which takes $$ too).
- dvanduzer 12y agoanyone can grow zucchini in their backyard. my parents never harvested early enough, and overgrown squash tastes terrible. amateur grow operations are not a particularly new and exciting thing in the area, though. nearly 50% of CU Boulder alumni in the last 20 years had a roommate they couldn't get to shut up about grow technique.
- dvanduzer 12y agoHow long have you actually lived in Denver? Gardening in the high desert takes quite a lot of equipment and skill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeriscaping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeriscaping Homebrewing is for nerds who miss the over-clocking watercool rigs of their counterstrike days. Skill and equipment, sure, but the equipment is on eBay and you never need to go outdoors.
