Greetings cultivators worldwide. Jordan River here back with more growcast Broadcasting straight from the islands. Today we've got a different type of episode. Our friend and member of growcast membership, crazy lakes is here to talk about his amazing organization, Canna capable. And their mission is to empower those with physical limitations and disabilities to start their own home garden and grow their own medicine. This episode is a little bit different. I know you're going to love it. There's a lot of good story talk. There's a lot of talk about gardening tips and the call to action. What I really want to bring to your guys's mind today is, if you know anyone who's suffering from an ailment or a sickness that you know that cannabis can help, be sure to make an effort to try to turn them on to growing. It's the best thing you can do for people in that position, and especially if you know they already consume cannabis from the dispensary, see if you can't be a caretaker for them or turn them on to growing. I just did an Instagram post about this. I think it's the most impactful thing you can do. There's so much going on in our industry. There's so much to argue about online, from home grow laws to this THCA nonsense and everything that's going on. But Is any of that really helpful or beneficial? Why not just get one person growing, give them their first seed and teach them how to grow? I think that's much more beneficial and impactful. So I hope that you do that. Please let us know if you do contact at growcast podcast.com. Is our email. Growcast is our Instagram handle. Come and shoot us a message. Tell us how you have turned someone else on to growing I'd love to hear that. So anyways, I know you're gonna love today's episode. It's a little bit different. Crazy likes is a great guest.

Hell yeah, brother, thank you for coming on again. Crazy like started the Canna capable community, which is specifically designed to empower those with physical limits, limitations and disabilities, with the ability to grow their own medicine at home. Crazy Legs, this has always been near and dear to my heart, because you know that at growcast, we're all about getting people growing. I think I've done a pretty good job of that so far in my career, of spreading the message of home grow getting people taking advantage of their home grow laws, getting as many people growing as many plants as possible. But I will tell you, I've always said getting someone growing their first plant is the most impactful thing you can do, but that impact is multiplied by 100 fold when you when the person who you're turning on to growing has an ailment that the cannabis relieves. Do you understand what I'm saying? It's not just somebody who really loves cannabis or uses it for general stress relief or sleep aid that's still life changing, turning them onto growing, but turning somebody onto growing who has a real condition that is interrupting their life, and then the cannabis helps that man. That makes it 1000 times more rewarding is that something that you observe like every day in the Canna capable community,

04:55

absolutely, yeah, it's been, uh, pretty amazing to see. How many people and how in depth that this plan actually helps people? There was a lot of people. I didn't even think of the amount of people we'd be reaching with different ailments that, you know, they look for certain profiles for their specific disability or sickness.

Jordan River

05:16

Yeah. I mean, that's the idea, right? It's an ever is a never ending hunt for that strain that works for them. That's actually something we're going to get into a little bit into this episode. But let's start from the beginning. Man, can you give a little bit of an introduction from your story and what brought you to growing and then how can a capable became a thing? Yeah,

Speaker 1

05:36

absolutely. Um, for to start at the beginning. I was born with muscular dystrophy, which, you know, it took doctors a long time to even figure out what was wrong or what to diagnose me with. And then in the mid 90s, I actually came upon cannabis through a friend in high school. We ended up getting some smoke off of his sister and going to his mom's garage, sitting in a brother's car and smoking it so classic. My introduction, you know, was pretty unique. Like the effect immediately, you know, you don't know how to compare it to other people and how it affects them, but it was something I knew kind of right away was something I really enjoyed.
