Finally made the drive to the only recreational shop in the Flint area

I was hoping to get some Indica THC tinctures to help with my insomnia but was told tinctures are still limited to medical sales only, until the supply can build up. The young woman who was helping me said maybe this will be available in the Spring. (This place is really wonderful. Some of the friendliest and most helpful staff I've ever encountered.)

I decided to go with a vape pipe and some Pink Kush Indica. Well, and some gummies. I'm probably going to start slow and opt for a gummy, tonight. I'm crossing fingers that they will help me to relax enough to fall asleep. Maybe I'll have the vape pipe charged, in case gummies aren't enough to get me more that 3 or 4 consecutive hours of shut eye.

My next thought is I should stop by a grow shop, close by, that seems to be a good source for home growing information and supplies. I have a "3 season" room that could easily be transformed into a grow room. (Michigan's law says if you home grow outside, it has to be in a secure, locked area.) I've watched some videos on homemade tinctures/RSO and they don't really look that difficult to brew, out of my own plants.

Did it 2 years ago and did everything wrong and it came out great. Got one of the new diode lamps that use very little electric and got 2 crops out in the garage. Bought a grow tent but haven't got around to using it yet.
I need to find out about MM co-op down there in Flint. I hear it's a great place to get clones and that would save a lot of time.
There is a FB page for Hemp flower. I've ordered some from Tweedle and like it. The one I got was only .05 % THC. I really not into getting all that high and this is perfect. Does change your mood and puts me in a good place. Lots of stores for hemp flower on Amazon. I tried that first and appears to be perfectly legal. Even comes with a letter for Law Enforcement explaining it is legal.
Have fun with the growing hobby. Plants turn into pets that you love to check in on and talk to them.
