That's really interesting. I know almost nothing of botany or gardening, but it is really interesting.
What state do you live in that allows you to grow four of them? That's something that I don't think Japan will allow in my lifetime. But if I ever go back stateside, I don't think my home state Indiana will allow it anytime soon either.
I live in Virginia, its on the low side for sure but states above me like Maryland only allow 3 so I guess I am doing alright here.
Ah damn yeah, where I lived previously I had no hope for legalizing there so glad I am now in a state where it is allowed.
That's cool. My kids are small so I don't really want to mess with anything right now anyway; maybe by the time they are older and out of the house, rules will change. The US does seem on the path for it to be legal everywhere eventually. But... like I said, I have no hope for Japan. But who knows, maybe in the next generation attitudes could change.
