Hey Growmies! 🙂

My name is Luis Soto and I’m 22 years old. I grow my medicine organically
in “No-Till” living soil with my body and the environment in mind. I’ve been
growing cannabis since I was discharged from the Marine Corps for
medical reasons when I was 19. I’ve been in love with this plant ever since
then.

Originally, I began growing to save myself some money since I became a
frequent medical user after the military. I was suffering from both mental
and physical conditions, with no help from the VA, and no medical
insurance for a good while too. The pills I was prescribed felt like they were
hurting me more than they were helping me, and I just couldn’t afford them
anymore too.

It’s crazy to see how far my green journey has come. Ironically, I used to be
against cannabis and the use of it before the military. Now my life revolves
around this plant and growing it brings me a special type of joy. I used to
be a war-mongering grunt before my relationship with cannabis. Now I’m a
life-loving hippie who just wants to be the change I’m seeking in the world.
One Love.
