Interesting question MrPNW, interesting results too.

68 years here, most of them good. First toke when I was 13 on the recommendation of my very progressive eye doctor who read a study that cannabis was a good treatment for glaucoma. Totally illegal during the "War on Drugs" but he whispered that it wasn't hard to find.

Guerilla grows in the 60's, then an apprenticeship learning the craft from an old timer on a hippie commune in the hills above San Jose. "Friend of a Friend" buys for decades until the miracle of legalization in my state. And now, a joyous return to epicurean cultivation!

I love growing things and I really got to 'know' our favorite plant back in the day. But it has been a revelation to discover how much has been learned and to use the incredible tools and techniques we now have at our fingertips today.

The shared knowledge and enthusiasm here on GWE is a wonder to behold. Many thanks to Nebula and Sirius for making this possible.

Ahhh I remember the old song "One" from Three Dog Nigh, do you ? And then came along the "Pusher" from Steppenwolf.
 
TOKABIGONE, I gave up drinking when I retired five years ago, smartest thing I ever did! Seemed like I could never stop drinking once I started. With weed, once I am stoned I am too lazy to get up for more!
 
Good Day , I'm 69 ,first generation hippie. Started with Mexican dirt weed (stones and sticks} in 68, 2 yrs in Europe{ Amsterdam Hash 50 cents/gram} , to growing outdoor autos since 2017
 
Not too many votes yet, but there does already seem to be a trend toward the older and wiser folks. Kind of makes sense, the older you are the more likely you are to be retired, and this hobby takes a lot of time! Obviously that’s just a generalization, and I’m sure lots of the older folks around here still work day jobs.

I myself am 34. After playing and hanging with my kids and taking care of family duties, my growing takes up a lot of the little free time I have left, but I love it so it’s great!

Right on Rik , I worked to age 70 before I retired even tho I didn't have to, just enjoyed staying in the game. Good job on the Family First...Always! I am hoping the votes will continue to roll in as a couple hundred votes would give a more accurate picture. I am a little perplexed by the 70's group; I can't be the oldest member here can I? Yes, that one vote is mine. I'm sort of hoping the 75 in that "annoying Aussie" newbutoldgrower75 is his age so I don't feel so bad. It's lonely at the top, lol! I see there are 3 times as many views as votes so c'mon folks don't be shy, be proud! It's not just the ballots either, the comments have been very candid and interesting. I think this is one of the funnest polls I've seen yet so help us keep it going, please! :)
 
I’m turning 29 in April. No kids. I support myself and my close family by growing full time and selling cannabis flowers and oils. Takes a lot of time every single day to move plants around. Water them (40 to 60liters per day). Harvest. Trimming. Washing coco. Transplanting. Discarding used coco. It’s a full time job that starts early with the sun. It’s good money but it’s not easy money. Not for lazy people
 
Man 9fingerleafs do what you love love what you do. Dream job for so many and they think it's easy. It's the hardest work of all farming and keeping crops healthy. One season can blow you down and so many startups i've seen along the roadways in rural communities don't realize the work and $$$$ it takes or don't know how to grow weed or understand it's needs. I totally appriciate what you do and the medicine you create, i've seen your posts and labor working the plantings of the seedlings. I hope you have a great season of good weather this year :)
 
I agree, I'm retired on disability and also a retired vet.
I really enjoy this activity, there are people here who know more than I ever will and thankfully are willing to share their knowledge with anyone who asks respectfully. Thanks from an older guy to all y'all!
 
It feels great winning a competition CaptainWiese91. Many years ago in a very large Seattle homebrew competition I one 2nd place in category, American IPA all-grain. Very rewarding and I owned a homebrew store at the time so it was good advertisement.
