I began in the cannabis industry way before even medical cannabis became a reality. I started by running buckets of water up the hill for my brother in 1977. I was too young at that time to understand the impact this most sacred plant would have on the world. In many cultures it has been used for thousands of years, but here in America it was and still is considered a schedule I drug, possessing no medical value. Most of Americans are no longer ignorant to the powerful medicinal properties of this plant. I believe we have much more to learn from this plant. It seems like everyone has heard of CBD (an isolated cannabinoid) and its beneficial effects. I think that this is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe the power of cannabis is unleashed when the synergy of multiple cannabinoids becomes better understood. This is why I have been so carefully cataloging different cannabinoids and how they interact with each other. There are even certain cannabinoid that exist in certain varieties and not in others. As we study and learn from this teacher plant I believe we will undoubtedly find cures to many illnesses both physical and mental. So I will continue on my quest to bring this sacred plant to people who need it. Over the years my horticulture skills have grown immensely, mainly due to the trial and error method. I literally have tried growing in every medium I could think of. I have fought pests that you couldn’t see with a 10x loop. And unfortunately I have experienced equipment failure resulting in garden damage that would make any heart sink. The up side to all this now I have a comprehensive understanding of of all phases of cannabis growth and the ability to see problems before they cause damage beyond repair. It is the minor course corrections and early detection of issues that make a successful cannabis horticulturalist. In order to grow outstanding cannabis one must incorporate the cosmic rhythms into their regiment. Rudolph Steiner has made observations of the celestial bodies and found correlation between plant growth and our current position in space. I am a true believer in biodynamic gardening. I have both the knowledge gained by attending a formal university and the knowledge gained on the mountain. I just want a job that allows me to focus my energy in a way that gives the maximum benefit to the greatest number of people. If I were not here to help my fellow brethren, then I have no idea what I am doing here. Namasté
