I’ve been thinking about this Schedule 3 thing for a while now…
...not just reacting to headlines or whatever panic is loudest today. I’m Professor Potgrower, and I’ve been fighting this s**t a long time. I don’t say much unless I’ve already sat with it. And honestly… f**k… we should be happy, man. We should be smoking joints and celebrating. Cannabis moving to Schedule 3 isn’t a crackdown, it’s not Big Pharma stealing w**d, and it’s not some new leash getting slapped on growers or patients. It’s just another sign the old war-on-w**d story finally cracked. We’ve lived through way worse than this and still kept the culture alive.

What really stands out to me is how much of this noise is coming from our side too… not just corporate folks or big money, but people who’ve been in fight mode so long they can’t turn it off. Fear becomes habit, and criticism becomes reflex. Meanwhile, there’s people like me who’ve been here forever and are pretty damn calm about it. If anything, we’re happy about it. Yeah, there are sharks out there… always have been. That’s real life. But panicking in the shallows never helped anyone swim. I’ve been in this fight long enough to know what the f**k’s up. My advice is simple… grab another joint, pass it to the left-hand side, chill out, and let the water settle.

So what’s your take?
You see this as progress… or you think the sky’s falling?
Say your piece.

Serious question… if Schedule 3 scares you, what exactly do you think is about to happen — and have you personally lived through anything worse

Mainland growers love talking about “volcanic soil” like it’s magic.

What we actually grow in here is cinder, muck, lava crumbs, tephra pudding, sugarcane leftovers, and rain that steals nitrogen the second you turn your back.

The secret was never fancy soil.

It was fertilizer logic:
steady 8-8-8, rain-proof Osmocote, sulfur at the right time, chicken s**t when the sky opens up, and roots given layers to explore.

Hawaiʻi didn’t make us better growers because it was easy.
It made us better because nothing worked unless you understood why.

Curious how other Hawaiʻi growers actually feed — jungle, backyard, greenhouse, or containers?
