About Us
How We're Helping
Cannabis Homegrowers Coalition is building the foundations necessary for home growing to be accessible to any adult, anywhere, and to help build a vibrant patchwork of localized cultures around it. These are the things we are focused on to accomplish our mission:
- Grow rights for individuals: This is the most fundamental pillar of our organization. The right to grow and consume your own cannabis is the starting point for any reforms. Any laws or policies allowing for the establishment of cannabis markets must include the right of the target consumer to grow their own personal use cannabis.
- Homegrower inclusion in social consumption: Avenues for public social interactions that involve consuming cannabis have been either missing or very sub-par in most places taking new approaches to cannabis.This is an even more acute issue in regards to home grow. Many of the policies emerging serve only as adjuncts of retail establishments. We work to realize more expansive approaches to social consumption that create pathways for cannabis and the public to interact beyond the dispensary.
- Synergy between the homegrower community and local commercial cannabis businesses: Truly vibrant, unique local craft cannabis scenes, and the benefits such scenes can offer to local communities, will grow from a craft cannabis market rooted in local home grow, not in big, international cannabis manufacturers. For home grow to seed these unique local craft cannabis businesses and the scenes around them, fertile policies must be amended into the ground.
- Homegrowers In Safe States as Advocates for homegrow rights in places of prohibition.
We believe that those of us able to homegrow legally have a responsibility to use our freedom and insights to help bring GOOD homegrow policies to places where homegrow is still a crime.
With these things as our pillars, we invite anyone that shares a similar vision of what the future of cannabis should look like to reach out to us at cannabishomegrowerscoalition@yahoo.com
May your clouds be thick and tasty!,
Sincerely,
Blaine Mitchell, founder of Cannabis Homegrowers Coalition
Get Involved: Our Stories Project
The "Our Stories Project" is an effort to gather the lived experiences of people who have found cultivating and consuming cannabis to be a tool for self-betterment. If you grow cannabis to help with addiction recovery, PTSD, depression, anxiety, or for any other therapeutic benefit, your story is the focus of the "Our Stories Project " . A great deal of the academic world relies on available data to analyze things. Because of the status cannabis has traditionally had in society during modern history, the vast majority of the data being analyzed by academics and the institutions is very slanted. Now that we are somewhat more free to speak up, we need to make sure that as much of the relevant lived experiences we all have are also included in the data academia use to inform future policies. This project is just one little piece of that effort. Email us at cannabishomegrowerscoalition@yahoo.com to submit your story. Thank you!
