It is no longer news that cannabis, known more commonly as marijuana has been legalized across several states in the US. With this, many consumers now feel at ease purchasing cannabis from a dispensary, either for recreational or for medical use. What is more intriguing is that the legalization has opened a window of opportunity for medical patients (and adults generally), to cultivate the products right in their own homes.

While there may be variations in the regulations, limitations and laws for each state, the fact is that cultivation of marijuana has been legalized by almost every state, allowing for home cultivation. Even though it is completely legal, some people do not take advantage of their right to cultivate cannabis due to the perception that it may be too difficult, expensive or time consuming.

So many people may put on discouraging attitudes to the cultivation of cannabis. You should not let this get to you. If it is done the right way, growing cannabis at home can be fun, cost-effective and simple. It is my belief that everyone should have access to his or her own clean cannabis. And this is why we have created this comprehensive guide to cultivating cannabis, written specifically with beginner growers in mind.
