Sure Iām looking at a commercial set up with 9000 sq ft. It already has a great security set up and HVAC(that will need some work) price works out to around 20 cents a sq ft.the medical certificates take about 3.5 months to process,hoping the recreational certificates are as fast. I have two investors one owned the building. The only thing is they are insisting I use IPM (Iām a 100% organic ,no spray kinda guy.but u gotta take the good w the bad I guess lol) they donāt want to take a risk .I would like to set up off the grid power production to be the first 0 footprint producer in canada , is kinda the end vision

Iām here to secure a position in the cannabis industry, more āback of the houseā type worker, but can be up front, I just thrive with a team in the background. I started cooking with cannabis years ago but never really saw it as medicine, real internal medicine. Since I started making, what Iāve coined as Ganjolive OilĀ® & Green BudderĀ®, great stuff, but soon after my tonitus geared back like 2 paces and the ringing has gotten super quiet, my anxiety that Iāve been riddled with for years is easing up, my depression doesnāt look like a dead end for me, the only thing is my passion and emotions are way more intense. Have to re-learn what been shut off for so long. Now Iām ready to get my hands in some dirt.

I got a buddy whose spine has pinched a main nerve in his back and has had uncontrollable tinnitus for two straight years. He has to goto bed with headphones on or he canāt sleep because the ringing is so loud.
Which one is curing it? The oil, butter, or both? @turnernathaniel

I like the fact that you start with next to nothing and add a whole lotta love and you will always be impressed with the pay back in the end;). As well as it seems the in the pursuit of perfection and knowledge this will be a never ending storyā¦

Great reasons indeed!
After nearly 20 years of growing itās both exciting and humbling to learn how much I donāt knowā¦it helps fuel the passion. Itās so great to be here with fellow growers who share that passion

My excitement around growing (by no means am I a grower) is just watching where itās going, and where the industry is, the fact that there is an industry, Iām super grateful, and before any of that, we need to thank these growers sisters and brothers. Weāre riding on their coat tails.

A family, thatās a good question. I really wish I knew the answer. Itās impossible to know, but I take a teaspoon of the oil 3 times daily, and I also drizzle it on food, I use the butter and olive oil together on some dishes, I eat the budder straight outta the jar and with food. I also use the olive oil topically and I smoke weed also. Thatās what Iāve done and itās helped me tremendously

Hey all, thought I would finally make an introduction to this forum. Iām James, I am passionate about cannabis in its medical, and recreational equally, but Iām more familiar with the medical side of it.
I suffer from chronic migraines, and I typically grow oriented to these. A few strains have snuck in for recreational but they are for my better half. I tried OG Kush as a last resort from a migraine streak of a month. I wasnāt against it, but didnāt know it would actually work and it was a last resort. (Before I got medication) Cannabis has offered me many positive benefits as alternative medicine to big pharmaās answer to migraine medicine with fewer side effects, and actual benefits.
Iām not new to growing, but Iām not a veteran yet I learn every grow.
I recently purchased some CBD isolate to coincide with some of the strains I currently have. Iām still skeptical of the CBDās effectiveness, but so far very positive results.
I feel as if Iām a prime example of how it has a positive influence on my life. Primarily keeping me functional to go to work. Which contradicts the lazy stereotypical of stoners everyone assumes. Cannabis consumers can be plenty productive in their life. While I canāt medicate while at work due to some policies, I do utilize the CBD heavily as of recent during work hours.
Thanks for stopping by.
