Say what? Also, NASCAR is stupid. You like NASCAR. You are stupid. You write stupidly. See how that all works together perfectly? It's called logic.

I work at a collective garden its a greenhouse filled with 5 foot tall plants that are 100% organic soil grown. Right now I water, and tend to the plants needs. Come fall I will be helping cut down, and curing pounds of medicinal grade greenhouse grown marijuana. I get paid 20 an hour so its good money, and its a lot of fun. The best job I have had actually and I bet the wine thing will be similar.

Do you have a degree of any kind in landscaping/botany/anything? If I could get 20 dollars an hour to trim nugs I think I would quit the wine gig in a heartbeat.

No, but I have been growing medicine for a little bit in northern california. I then convinced my buddy to start a collective and this 65 year old guy with a medical card runs it all. I help with the plants and I actually brought the whole thing together. We keep it all 100% organic, pesticide free soil grown dank. We are growing medicine here so we treat our plants with the greatest care in our air conditioned CO2 enriched greenhouses.

We use all solar power as well.

I don't get paid to work there but I do get to drink free beer in exchange for welding work for a brewery that's going in next to my shop. The place is fucking awesome. It's called Iron Duke and every single beer they've made that I've tasted is amazing. Not one single shitty beer.

Oh, trust me, I'm cool with that but I could see how it would get boring living up there after a while.
