My family has maintained a deep affixion to cannabis in this state for 100 years.
I believe that some folks might be ashamed of that fact, however not me! I have always been proud, even before pot was legalized around the US.
The way I see it, this family has been on the forefront of the pot industry for decades, and the world has finally caught up to us. It all started with our great-Grandpa Luther, who settled locally to begin a family and a farm. He grew fields of hemp, and eventually supplemented the crops by distilling moonshine. When the time came that the government said marijuana was no longer legal to grow, our great-Grandpa said “to hell with them” and kept growing it. By that point he was regarded as the top marijuana farmer and the top moonshine distiller in the whole area! That led to some troubles, after which he scaled down his moonshine operation and started to focus on growing a higher quality of marijuana. It seems that the moonshine industry was a lot more lean, mean, and bloodthirsty than the cannabis industry. I’m ecstatic he got out of that violent lifestyle, because ever since that day the cannabis crops he started growing all those decades ago are still thriving. Our family has lived comfortably off of cannabis for several generations already, and now that legalization is sweeping the land both of us are poised to be even more successful! For me it isn’t even about the money, I am just so proud that I descend from such a mighty trailblazer in the cannabis industry, a enjoyable person whose impact is still felt to this day.
