iGrow Medical Marijuana: A California Growth Industry
The California economy is in trouble, but there's at least one industry in the state that's booming: medical marijuana. Even though medical marijuana has been legal in California since 1996, the people working in the industry continue to operate in the shadows of legal uncertainty. Dispensary owners and growers live in constant fear of being raided by federal agents who maintain that marijuana, medicinal or otherwise, remains illegal under federal law. And for years, indoor marijuana growers have dropped big bucks on growing equipment while keeping mum about what exactly it is they've been growing. In Oakland, however, things are changing. Earlier this year iGrow (now called weGrow) became the first hydroponics store to come out of the grow closet and proclaim to the world that they exist to help farmers grow more and better medical marijuana. iGrow's slogan? There's no such thing as a 000 tomato! We went to iGrow, the first US hydroponics superstore catering explicitly to pot farmers, to learn more about the burgeoning medical marijuana industry in California.Approximately 6.5 minutes.

@coffeebuzzz
there are a few smokers criminal . Or even addicted .
I've noticed over the years that the effects on people are very diffrent .
Ofcourse you have connouiseurs , fun smokers , medicalpeople ...................................................................... but there are also people who are really addicted to it !
It just depends on the person's IQ .
I would never recommend some1 smoking with a IQ lower than 99
Well done videos! I really appreciate the extra effort to creat quality instructional videos!

@sagan4win park wayyyyyy far away then. That sucks man :/
wow, if you go to the hydro store around me you will be tailed
@StylistRhymist on your own there mate
it would be easier for everyone to just decrimalize it
Currently 15 US states with legal medpot. Mansanto seeks to patent their gm'ed medpot with terminator seeds. Medpot WILL be owned by big pharm and big ag. GM'ed MJ with higher THC vs cannabinoids causes higher incident of psychotic experience. Reefermadness was reverse psychology. War on drugs was a lie. Gov want you sleepy, hungry, complacent and psychotic. Weed is no longer sacred. Has been molested and? used to control and enslave you. PLease wake up. Thumbs up to keep this seen and you free.
For graduation, when they ask me what profession i want to take when im older im going to say "Im going to grow medical weed" lol

@Spectreman It's almost like a like a legal loop hole. Just like people calling fake mj "Incense" and other drugs as something like "bath salts". Or how they label the stuff "not for human consumption" or how on the websites they put saying up like "We do not recommend you try our stuff". It's just a cover up to protect their asses, no one actually believes that stuff.
do they ship to Hawaii???
What an amazing hydro shop! Those systems are really highly-sophisticated that you can actually control your plants’ feed cycle through your iPhone! That’s amazing indeed! I wonder if that can also be used for other crops aside from cannabis plants.
@blogegog
You're not that bright, are you? I mean, that's just pathetic.
I directly correlated your argument to another potential argument, and explained how your argument could be used against other groups. How the judgment of 'value' is such a loose and slippery thing.
So, to answer? My grandmother, the last one alive, is around 90. She can't remember things well, and sometimes forgets how we're related, or my name. It's sad to see her like this, and I love her. She's my grandma.
People should stop obeying politicians and just live free, rather than begging for permission from some strangers that have no legal authority.
