My name is Anne Fred and, apart from blogging, I grow marijuana in Monterey. But sadly I am fast becoming part of a dying breed of small-time farmers who are being squeezed out of the market by high-flying corporates with flashy bank accounts and even flashier high-tech greenhouses. My modest farm is situated in the Big Sur where I have been growing “holy weed” for many years. Like me, other small-time growers in this region are battling to finance the crippling costs of licensing in the face of corporate clout.

It’s no secret that marijuana is one of the best natural remedies for humans. It is currently being investigated for its ability to heal nearly all the more serious diseases and its capability to relax and destress people is well known.
