If you grow something special, share it.
If someone is in need, give it away.

When my wife became catastrophically ill in 2015, I looked for ways to help her by learning to grow cannabis. In 2020, I was asked to write the Isolation Grow Blog for Oaksterdam University. This became the document I hoped I would find in 2015, and I posted it for free, for anyone spending their lives trying to cope with pain.

The Isolation Grow Blog was also used extensively as recommended reading for the Home Grow program I co-wrote and edited for the school.

One of my goals was to grow medicine well enough to where I’d never have to buy it again. I do not grow to sell, I grow so that I don’t have to buy. In this blog, I will teach you how to grow outside safely, to turn the plants you grow into medicine, via tinctures and pills.
