i am a ca resident and would have to say that if you intend on growning outdoors(to reap the massive benifits) ca/co r the right places for you. and if i where in other states gorwing(at all) i would advertise otherwise on this site becuz of issues of the man trying to take away all of our individual rghts as people. There are many states who allow medical marijuana but not too many who r run by it. the golden state is the place to be. but i have also considered trying out the colorado thing either way safe growing!
