Everyone, most likely has once in their life tried some 'Pot'.` It sure can be a different experience. One big problems with smoking 'Pot' is that it can get to be very expensive. This problem can be easily solved, by growing it yourself. First lets discuss the plant a little more. The plant is Cannabis: the weed we know as the marIjuana or bemp plant. T`roughout recorded history, it has been with us. But only in the past fifty years has all the fuss been kicked up about it. Marijuana has been used as food, fiber, and medicine. Monks in the Middle Ages used the seeds for porridge, early American settlers wove it into fabric, and for centuries folk medcine extolled its virtues. In 1970, former president RIchard Nixon convinced Congress to pass the Federal Controlled Substance Act, a complete overhaul of the nations drug laws. This resulted in Marijuana being classified in 'Schedule 1' along with heroin. States have since then reformed their laws, and about 10 states have stopped arresting marijuana smokers. In Alaska it is legal to smoke 'Pot' in the privacy of your own home (Only for Adults). Some of the best grass in the world is grown right here in the United States. You can do it too, it's not difficult to do. Highly potent plants can be grown indoors, as well as in gardens, fields, and the wilds. Indoor growers must create an environment, whereas outdoor gardners work within the environment. Modest indoor gardens are quite simple to set up and care for. All materials you'll need are available at nurseries, garden shops, and hardware and light- ing stores, or they may be found around the house or street. The cost will depend on how large and elaborate you make the garden and on wheather you buy or scavenge materials. With a little ingenuity, the cost can be negligible. Outdoors, a small patch in your summer garden can be supply all your smoking needs with little or no expense. Generally marijuana requires less care than most other crops, because of its natural tenacity and ability to compete with indigenous weeds. Hardy Cannabis resists mild frost, extreme heat, deluge, and drought. In this country, few deseases attack marijuana; once the plants are growing, they develop their own natural protection against most insects. In some areas of the country, such as parts of the midwest and east, the plant may require no more attention than sowing the seeds in spring and harvesting the plant in autumn. Naturing and watching these beautiful plants as they respond can be a humanizing experience. One note should be made for outdoor growers, be careful and keep your plants in a secure place, otherwise it might result in theft of the plant andoor possible legal consiquences. Part II will deal with indoor growing, whereas Part III will go further in debt with outside gardens. I thank The Ferret for contributing to this text and my fellow 'burnouts' who made this possible.
