Homegrown marijuana: Inside Minnesota's growing market
A bookshelf covers an entire wall in Bob Walloch’s Minneapolis home. From floor to ceiling, it’s filled with popular novels, art pieces and family photos. However, with one swift pull, Walloch reveals a hidden passageway to his personal crop of homegrown marijuana.

Rip off artist's selling Marijuana so expensive home grown up
I love hearing stories like this. I live in California. I've always liked cannabis. Since a young age. I didn't start growing my own until 2018. I now work full-time as a cultivator technician at a cannabis indoor grow facility located in northern california. Honestly, growing at home has always been the best for me. I usually grow 3 plants and always have plenty of flowers to share.

Probably has to do with law enforcement. If they stop you or come to your home, if they see evidence of "illegal" activity they can investigate further. So if you got your plant growing in the dining room that you can see from the front lawn, cops can pursue a warrant. Also about keeping children safe... Community... Blah... Blah... Blah... If they can't see or smell it it doesn't exist.
i miss the quality of weed that cane from Minnesota..... can we bring back the growers that brought us 2009-2015 crops?? it was ACTUALLY decent buds, far surpassing the quality that california and oregon had.
It's not marijuana it's cannabis. Marijuana was the derogatory slang used during prohibition(because of our friends down South) for more than a century. Time to set things right.
I’m all for open carry.Not talking about firearms.
I suppose Bob’s secret room isn’t so secret anymore. But he just gave me an idea for my next home construction project… Also, his wife, Erin made a great point about home growers. You can only imagine how much great cannabis is being grown that the world will never even hear about!
Minnesota! 75% psychologically normal which is better than most states today!
We have to go homegrown. Corporate cannabis has a total of 16% sales tax and the permits for retail sale are obscene.
Called a few dispensaries and I was told that selling doesn’t begin until 2025. Grow your own if you’re waiting for that like gta 6.
The whole drug situation is lost. Legalizing or not legalizing drug use has little impact on its' usage. People will consume them anyway.On the other hand legalizing marijuana, the least dangerous of drugs, has resulted in an increase in usage. What a mess.

Market? Grow your own. You don’t need a market.
You can legally sell your cannabis, does not apply to anything but a legal private grow. Minnesota Consitution Article 13, Section 7. NO LICENSE REQUIRED TO PEDDLE. Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor.
Cash crop funds schools and roads
You guys are growing this all wrong. In the 80's I would grow 4 plants and my harvest could last me 2.5 years. You don't cram them together and grow bushes. You grow them spaced out and upright. Once they're 4'-5' tall, you begin the slow process of bending the tops over to the ground with a string tied to a 2 liter pop bottle full of water. (Towards the corners of the room.) Why? Each branch then begins to think it is the top and grows accordingly. Yield, people, yield.
