Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible Read Free

and taxing cannabis.
    Cannabis has been used medicinally for more than 10,000 years. Cannabis is being legally dispensed medicinally in 10 US states, Canada, the Netherlands and Spain. Still the US Government classifies cannabis as a Schedule I drug along with heroin as having no medical value.
    The July 30, 2004 editon of the Seattle Times reported “Marijuana smuggling case first local use of Patriot Act provision. The US attorney in Seattle, WA charged 15 people in a marijuana smuggling operation. The undercover snitch, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, posed as a middle man who actually smuggled money from the US to Canada.
    The alleged cannabis and money smugglers were charged under the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was passed into law in the US in order to thwart international terrorism after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York City. However according to US attorney Todd Greenberg in Seattle, “there is no indication these defendants are connected to terrorism.”
Here are a few well documented facts:

    88.6 percent of arrests in 2001 were for possession only.
    With ever increasing prohibition we are growing more cannabis around the world than ever before. Most of the photographs and much of the information was collected outside of the USA. The cannabis laws in the “Land of the Free” are some of the most horrifying and repressive in the world. However, with the artificial “cannabis price support program in a free market” spawned by the US government, the rest of the world is benefiting. Growers from all over the world, including the ones that are willing to risk their freedom and assets in the USA, are able to cash in on this defacto program.
    Here is how the program works. Cannabis is illegal. This creates an artificially high price for cannabis because the supply is limited and the demand high. Aggressive entrepreneurs see the opportunity and fill the need in the marketplace. When harsh laws are enforced, entrepreneurs give way to thugs and organized crime who fill the orders for cannabis. Any first year economics student can figure this out!
    This information has caught the eye of a few politicians. A growing number of politicians are finding the integrity and moxie required to risk “political suicide” and endorse medical cannabis.

Introduction

The book covers below are some of the many published by Jorge.
    The “Bible” has gone through a complete metamorphosis since the first edition in 1983. The First Edition was just 96 pages, black and white and bound with a pair of staples. I wrote the book on a Kaypro II computer. To typeset I hooked my Kaypro to a VAX mainframe computer. The typeset “galleys” were pasted up into “hard copy.” I printed the book on a Multilith press. My wife and I collated pages and stapled them together to form the first Indoor Marijuana Horticulture book. The book immediately became a best-seller among indoor growers and has remained on top ever since!

    The Second Edition (1985) grew to 288 pages and was christened “The Bible” by indoor growers. The Third Edition (1993) grew to 320 pages and the Fourth Edition (2001) tipped the scales at 432 pages and contained 200 color photos and drawings. The Bible is published in Dutch, German, French, English, and Spanish. There is also a special UK Edition. The Australian Edition was banned by the Australian Government, but lofty Auzzies still find ways to bring in the Bible.
    The Fifth Edition has a little larger format (6 × 8.25 inches [150 × 210 cm]), 512 pages and is full-color throughout with more than 1100 full color photographs, drawings, charts, and graphs. It is completely rewritten to reflect the changes in cannabis
