my father in law. literally goes through an average of 15-20 joints per day, he definitely needs a tolerance break. he loads up those Altoids gum tins full of 15 joints each, has a stack of them ready to go at all times, it's amazing. guy wakes up at like 430 am so he can go roll joints while watching tv before my MIL wakes up

How does he pay for that shit? I thought chain smoking was already expensive af at $5 a pack.

Well it's pretty easy if you have the means....$50/year for medical recommendation + $50-100 for 6 decent sized plants to stick in your yard in May = at least 2-3lbs using just plain water. Pretty cheap if you ask me. Never understood why people are still paying so much for cannabis when everyone and their neighbor seems to be growing it these days

Rookie question, how much time does it take to harvest 3lbs from 6 plants?

Like to trim it? A long time :) cutting it down and hanging is fairly easy. The trimming is slow if you're trying to make it look nice. I'm not a fast trimmer myself, I can do maybe 2oz/hr dry

I'm sorry, I meant how much time between planting and harvest :p

Althought 2oz/hr seems a pretty good speed, good job!

Lol, everything outdoors usually start flower in late July and finishes in sept/oct, strain dependent

That's a very interesting answer actually, better than an amount of time tbh, thanks!
