Gateway Drug? Cannabis is a Gateway Crop: From Backyard Buds to Food Freedom

A new survey of 1,327 home cannabis cultivators found that two-thirds say growing marijuana inspired them to start growing tomatoes, with nearly a quarter admitting they never grew tomatoes until years after cultivating their first cannabis plant. Following tomatoes, the top crops people were inspired to grow included basil, strawberries, chili peppers, cucumbers, and lettuce. As Jessica Hanson from Homegrown Cannabis Co. put it: “Cannabis isn’t a gateway drug, it’s a gateway crop. Before you know it, you’ve got a backyard full of tomatoes, and maybe even a few zucchinis.”
