We found our way to Humboldt, some by way of the Grateful Dead , where we purchased affordable land that had been ravaged by the logging industry over the prior decades.
Most of our kitchen gardens had a few cannabis plants, propagated from low-grade, seeded Mexican marijuana. We made our own soil, compost and learned to grow better with each season.
During the winter months, we left the farms to see the rest of the world. Soon, intrepid travelers brought the first Southeast Asian seeds home with them. A higher grade of marijuana was grown.
