In my community production is so decentralized that an evening walk through any given neighborhood can reveal the order of maturing cannabis on the breeze wafting from someone’s garage or bedroom grow op.

My hope is that with legalization, and even with taxation, the grow your own movement can take its rightful, legal place beside the roll (and grow) your own tobacco enthusiasts and home brewers. At the very least it will make home production less risky, even if it is done without a license.

Some ideas to help spread such movements would be to cultivate tobacco and marijuana seedlings (once legalized…. or not!) and transplant them throughout your community in the “street strip” of grass that can often be found in between the sidewalk and the street curb. Leave a sign with instructions on watering and harvesting. A small, symbolic step to show people that such plants are really just that, plants, and can be peacefully cultivated and consumed. When uniformed authorities eventually come around to tear them out of the ground it will be a very obvious display of futility and aggression against a peaceful way of life.
