Some Advice..? Getting Started Again..

[ClarkGriswold]

Hi all again!
This site is a great discovery, so much top info.
Anyway here is a bit about my dilemma,
So I have not used the good stuff since my late teens, early 20's. It was great for rec, but after a while me and the lads drifted more toward drinking.
So to today - a few years later.. a-hem, I am sick of drinking, and would like to get back to the green stuff, basically in a medicinal sense to see if it will help out for anexity and depression, along with back pain and migraine.
But I'm kind of stuck, it's not like the younger years where the stuff was easy to find, through friends etc. Growing at home is really out of the question, and I can't see myself scouring the streets for a dealer where I live, I'd just feel ridiculous. I have thought of SR but am wary.
So anyone have any suggestions as to how I may get back in the game, so to speak, with least risk/resistance?, I think there are probably a lot of blokes about my age in the same predicament.
I was in the US a while back and the medical MJ places are great, it's so easy and has solved so many issues over there. Makes OZ look like a freaking back-water.

If you can't grow at home why not a little gorilla grow somewhere close?

+1 to both suggestions.  Pay a visit to the guys at the Hemp Embassy and tell them what you are looking to acheive and you should get some great advice, and if you can't get on while you're there, somethings wrong.  Find a quiet little spot for a guerilla grow and chuck a couple in for practice, keep it simple and you could end up with a pleasant surprise.  While it's growing do some research on strains that may help your situation and buy some appropriate seeds.  With a bit of luck you should get a bit of home grown, learn a few pointers and mistakes, and be well set up for a better grow next time. 

 

Weed's still pretty easy to find, but good clean weed with a known background is another matter, which is a good reason to try and find a way to grow that works for your situation, plus the grow itself can be a bit therapeutic.  Good luck

Exactly. It's funny when you are young, you smoke anything, its source is irrelevant, but hell I grow organic veggies now, and shit like that so why not demand it for weed too hey? And yes I am sure asking a street dealer for medical MJ would get a laugh.

Hmm a gorilla grow, well that may work, plenty of space around here. Again though seed aqusition is that same issue, I am wary of overseas seed buying due to customs etc, and I find it amazing there seems to be no Aus seed banks, after a brief search around. Man they have this place locked down tight, detriments to living on an island I guess. I am sure this is answered elsewhere but if customs intercept your seeds do you get a knock on the door, or do they just burn em?

Yeah I'm kind of a LONG way from Nimbin, how are those guys via email advice/contacts, is that something that would be inappropriate to ask?

Ahh yes that would be inappropriate ( see the red bar below)

Go have a look at Cannaversity, get some knowledge, then come asking questions about growing

I am in the same situation Clarke it kinda sux I haven't smoked for 20 years now but now I need the smoke for different reasons. Maybe I am going through a mid life crisis but it is hard to get back on the can as things are oh so different now. I wish you luck
