The crawlspace next to my bedroom is where I grow my cannabis. It's not a tall crawlspace— maybe five feet from the 'rafters'— but it's enough that I'm able to grow my medicine. This tiny little workspace has kept me off almost all prescription medications since 2017. These plants are the reason my suffering has lessened over the years.

I understand it's a privilege to be able to grow cannabis safely and without threat of arrest or violence. The one benefit of the suburbs is that you can do things discreetly without too much pushback from your neighbours. Having people mess with you is frustrating. I am free from that burden for now.
