Of the 15 plants now in my medicine patch, I estimate I'll end up with 7 adult medicine-producing females.
I grow using a method I call 200% organic, which means no products used on the plants, no sprays, no fertilizers - nothing unnatural in any way - and it means only 4 ingredients: air, light, water, and soil. The soil I use is made of worm castings (poop) and dried moss. So the medicine I produce is very clean and pure, exactly as nature intended.
The problem with that is when you don't take shortcuts (like using fertilizers), there's less yield. From 7 plants, I'll probably get a couple jars of buds, after drying and curing.
Those 2 jars of buds would make a small batch of cannabis oil, maybe 15 grams. It would be high quality oil, just pure cannabinoids (and the associated terpenes).
To treat my PTSD and MediKatie's cancer, we each use half a gram (500 mg) of cannabinoids per day.
What I produce is much better quality than anything I can buy. I wish I could just produce more! It would save us a lot of money, and we would be healthier because it would be better medicine.
Unfortunately, Canada "legalized" cannabis in 2018, and Legalization is a Lie, as peaceful gardeners are still going to prison for cannabis in my country. These 7 plants could get me 14 years in prison with rapists and murderers, even though I'm growing them for medical use and my wife has a prescription from her doctors.
Legalization is tyranny. What we wanted (and still want) is decriminalization - liberty!
If you're able, I encourage you to do your duty as a free person - and grow in peace.
