We hope that your birthday month was full of cannabis!

Where I live mullein is native and in our yard we allow it to blossom and thrive. I have never tried to dry the entire stalk before. But, this season I will try this and see how it pans out. Do you have mullein in your area? Have you ever seen it covered by bees? If you do see mullein notice how the stalk grows. If the stalk is tall and straight your soil contains NO toxins of concern. If the stalk is growing crooked then the soil contains toxins that are concerning.

Here is the video link to the creation of a mullein candle

I know that a lot of folks would like to grow but perhaps do not know where to begin. In Canada we are allowed to grow bc cannabis is legal federally. Here is some basic information about growing cannabis if you live in Canada. I have included the link.

Growing cannabis for recreational use in Canada is legal under federal law, allowing adults to cultivate their own plants at home, subject to specific limits and provincial regulations. [1, 2]

Key Legal Guidelines

• Plant Limit: You can grow a maximum of 4 plants per household (not per person).
• Legal Age: You must be 19+ in most provinces, though 18+ in Alberta and Quebec.
• Seed Source: Seeds or plants must be purchased from authorized provincial retailers (e.g., Ontario Cannabis Store or similar).
• Prohibitions:
  • Quebec and Manitoba generally prohibit home cultivation, though, as of mid-2025, Manitoba has lifted its ban with specific restrictions (still limited to 4 plants, must be secured).
  • Some landlords, condominium corporations, and home insurance companies may prohibit growing cannabis.
• Safety: Plants must be kept out of reach of minors and pets.
• Extraction: Making cannabis products with organic solvents (like butane) at home is illegal.
• Sales: It is illegal to sell your home-grown cannabis. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Growing Requirements by Province (Recreational)

• British Columbia: Plants must not be visible from public spaces.
• New Brunswick: Outdoor plants must be in a secured, fenced area at least 1.52 metres tall.
• Nova Scotia/NB: Indoor plants must be in a separate, locked space. [1]

Tips for Growing at Home

• Environment: Cannabis can be grown indoors or outdoors. Outdoor plants can grow quite large (up to 6 feet), while indoor setups often require grow tents ($325-399 CAD) and lights.
• Timeframe: Plants typically take 4 to 8 months to grow from seed to harvest.
• Safety: It is recommended to use caution regarding high humidity, which can cause mold issues, and to be aware of the high electricity usage of indoor lighting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Mac Breath Grow 2025

AK-47 2025 Grow

As I begin to prepare for another grow this year. I live in a legal country where it is legal to grow 4 plants per property. I am pulling out my stalks from last year. I always leave them over the winter for several reasons: they look pretty with snow on them, birds sit on them, and it gives them a chance to break down a wee bit into the soil that sustained them while producing medicine for me.

I make salves, balms, edibles and herb to smoke with my pipe or rolled. I find the salves especially made with coconut oil help my arthritic hands after a day in the garden or stitching in the winter time. I use cannabis as medicine for my body and my spirit. Each grow is better than the last. I share my grow with friends, neighbours, and family.

Mac Breath is the plant that our sub creator really enjoyed seeing grow last season. The colours were breathtaking! Hahaha see what I did there!

Do you have a favourite cannabis recipe? Are you just learning to grow? Do you have any tips? Please share if you would like...

Be well, be kind, but be you!

Have a great birthday!

Each morning I take 15 seconds at the beginning of my day to hold a very warm facecloth near my face to feel the heat radiant towards my face. As it cools I slowly begin the process of washing my face. I find that the quiet time I have each morning sets up the day for success. Even if my day gets hairy and out of control - I have had that moment to myself.

I do lots of other things as well. But, I do this each and every day. It takes a few seconds.
