[Sticky] Why You Should Grow Your Own Cannabis

For decades, cannabis has been illegal all over the world. Despite public outcry for Cannabis legalisation in many countries, only a few have taken that step towards full legislation. Buying weed from an unregulated market, can be unsafe. This is a major reason why you should grow your own cannabis.

Most cannabis users buy their weed from street dealers. This cannabis is most likely low quality, over priced, and underweight. But there is more to it than just that.

Risk of Buying Cannabis on the Black Market

When marijuana is grown for commercial gains, less care will be taken in the final product. It is usually dried too quickly. This leaves chlorophyll and other starches in the weed. It will be harsh to smoke. The have minimal flavour and smell, and will leave you with a sore throat. The best cannabis, is always going to be from growing your own.

The cannabis you buy from the street is unregulated. It may have been treated with pesticides to kill bugs, grown mold spores or be covered with insects. Most plants are also cut down before the THC is fully matured. Immature THC will cause you paranoia, and anxiety. Also, you will not get the true high your strain is supposed to offer.

Why the Black Market is Bad For Cannabis Users

A black market encourages criminal activity. Dealers will often sell more than just cannabis. They have no shame in offering you very addictive class A drugs, that are very harmful.

Cannabis is a very valuable crop. An Oz from the black will cost £170- £220 in the UK!! With commercial growers cropping over 100 Oz per grow, you have to ask where all that money goes.

All money spent on the black market goes into the pockets of criminals, and they can use that money to fund more criminal activity. They can buy harder drugs, weapons, and bring in a tax free income! Growing your own cannabis will reduce these effects, and keep not only yourself, but other people affected by the black market safe.

Why you Should Grow Your Own Cannabis

Cannabis bought on the streets in unsafe, unregulated, and very highly priced. It is safer, and cheaper for you to grow your own personal supply.

An average smoker will smoke around 1/2 Oz a week, that's around £100 a week, every week. Your dealers I receiving over £5k from you every year! I'm sure there are better things you can spend your money on.

Growing your own supply of weed will not only take money out of the black market, but save you money too. It will give you a constant supply, of your own, clean, trusted cannabis!

How to Start Growing Cannabis at Home.

There are many many sites out there on the internet that will help you grow weed! Percys Grow Room will take you from knowing nothing about growing, to having your own harvest within a few months.

You have to calculate how much cannabis you need to grow to keep your supply covered. And that will give you an idea of what size tent, and set up you will need.

My personal recommendation would be a 1.2 x 1.2 m grow tent setup. The lights you buy will depend on your budget. You can buy the whole set up here for less that the price of an ounce of street weed! This setup will yield you around 20 oz of your own weed every four months.

Upgrading Grow Setups

Start off buying what you can, and upgrade as you progress. Starting off in a small grow tent for growing weed. With 250w bulbs is fine. But upgrading to a bigger tent under LED lights will always be a good step to take in the future.

Use the money you're saving, by not buying weed, to re-invest in your setup. Buy better, more energy efficient lights and equipment for your grow room.
