I just want to be able to grow 3 plants.
If it is legalized federally do you think they will allow some home cultivation? All I need is 3 plants and I’d be more than happy
Could start by *not* calling it marijuana and call it instead by its proper name, cannabis.
Cannabis is safer for mind, body and society than alcohol or any pharmaceutical.
