How To Apply To Grow Pot legally

How To Apply To Grow Pot legally.

I wish all my friends did this

Tracie:

You have no idea how much I appreciate your providing me with their turn–down letter. I intend to publish it and answer the question that every potential legal grower needs answered. 

Can I qualify as a Legal Grower under the new rules?

You gave a lot of people some damn good information that has not been available to them and I’m going to acknowledge its source. I have no idea who you are just “Tracie out of the Blue) but you deserve credit. You just helped a lot of friends.

Thanks

Blaine
