Why I grow and why I’m so involved in the community is very important to me. Everyone has a foundation. What’s yours? If you want to skip the video I’ll write mine out here. When I was a kid I was the “golden child” Everyone in my family loved me so much. I needed that because as far as my social life went, honestly I had very little friends. I had alot of issues I didn’t understand that lead to alot of these issue and wouldn’t understand it till later in life. However when I was a freshman in high school, I had a work friend so to speak. I honestly wouldn’t call him that now but I did at the time. That’s because he ended up holding me while my boss punched me in the 🥜. He was told to do it and felt bad so he had me come over to his house after we got out of work that night. He ended up smoking me up with this white widdow that literally was black and white in color. At the time I didn’t think anything of it but now it seems wild. That’s probably the highest iv ever been honestly. I worked for a video game store so I had to play out this game so I could tell customers about it. I woke up the next morning on my dresser 🤣 I also left my 360 on and found I had completed most of the game. I feel like I remembered it too but it was so long ago now I don’t remember if I remembered what happend that night or not. I feel like I did. Anyways, that’s basically the first time I smoked. Now that I found out this great plant I started talking to my peers about it more and more. Eventually leading me to attain a full circle of friends. It definitely changed life for me alot. Living life with so many hating on you can be hard when you don’t have a support system to back ya up. When I found that back up the rest seemed pointless. I could care less about what others thought of me. But as the scales of fate changed so did my social life with my family. They ended up outcasting me in many ways because of my use of cannabis. Because of this I looked for family elsewhere. Thought the years I ended up filling my heart with love for many other families that were their for me. They also shared the love for the plant. One of these families showed me alot about cultivation that led me to do alot of learning on my own. They also did something I never seen anyone else do in any circle of life in society. They ended up taking half of every plant grown. They then donated it to make medicine. A version of Phoenix Tears. They ended up giving all that medicine away to those who were suffering with things like cancer, Parkinson, seizures and other serious issues. The compassion these people had for the people around them was unreal. This is my roots, my foundation. This is why I’m so passionate about my work and trying to help others when I can. Often I’m giving aways alot of things to help those in need. I’m often donating plant materials for folks to make their medicine. Whatever I can do to help.
We all have some amazing stories to tell what are yours?
