Editor's note: This article has been reviewed and updated for accuracy in 2026. In this article we debunk the myth of never getting high on your own supply, at least when it comes to legal marijuana. But first, we must caution, if you absolutely hate DIY projects and detest high quality home-grown plants, then this isn't for you. If you've been intimidated by the perceived complexity of cultivating marijuana then we have great news for you, it's actually not that hard! There is a reason this amazingly robust plant is referred to as weed. If you're new to cultivating or a beginner grower we recommend this beautiful cultivation techniques poster by Goldleaf that lays out a lot of industry speak in an easy to understand visual medium. If you're like us and you find yourself spending way too much of your paycheck at the dispensary, then growing your own cannabis at home may not only be a fun little adventure but also a huge long-term cost savings! Not only is buying cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes now legal in several states and throughout Canada, it’s also legal to grow your own in most of those places. And while you may be hesitant to try growing cannabis in your home when you can just visit your local dispensary, since they are pros when it comes to high quality flower, inventory management and delivery. <span style=
