In the United States, the laws on marijuana cultivation vary by state. Here are some basic points:

In 24 states and Washington D.C., the cultivation and use of marijuana are completely legal.
An additional 17 states have legalized its use for medical purposes, with each state's law having its own nuances.
In Washington state, medical patients can grow up to 6 marijuana plants at home. This number can be increased if a doctor thinks a patient needs it. In such cases, a person can grow up to 15 marijuana plants at once. However, cultivation for adult use remains illegal.
If the amount grown is less than 10 pounds, the mandatory minimum penalty is one year of imprisonment, up to 10 years, and a maximum fine of $5,000. If the weight is between 10 and 2,000 pounds, the minimum penalty is five years of imprisonment, up to 30 years, with a maximum fine of $100,000.

Despite the loosening of some state laws, growing marijuana at home is still illegal under federal law. This is due to outdated federal laws that classify marijuana the same as heroin and PCP, according to the Controlled Substances Act.

Please note that the above information may vary as laws change, so you should consult the specific laws of your state before cultivating marijuana.

marijuana was also used for recreational purposes, according to the Cannabis Act. Since 2019, cannabis foods and concentrates have also been legally sold in Canada. Therefore, adults aged 18 and over have the right to cultivate and use marijuana.

Peru: Since 2021, Peru has allowed self-cultivation, import, transport, and sale of medical marijuana.

German law allows the cultivation of cannabis and cultivation techniques

Germany has passed a new marijuana law that allows adults to grow up to three plants for private consumption and carry up to 25 grams of marijuana. At home, one can have up to 50 grams of marijuana. This is one of the most liberal marijuana laws in Europe. The new law took effect in April 2024. Please note that the above information may change as laws change, so you should consult the specific laws of your location before growing marijuana.

According to data from Statista, the forecast for legal cannabis sales in Europe from 2020 to 2025 is as follows (in million US dollars):

2020: About 40 million dollars
2021: About 50 million dollars
2022: About 60 million dollars
2023: About 70 million dollars
2024: Expected to reach 620 million dollars
2025: Expected to have significant growth

In America, the global legal marijuana market is estimated to be 21 billion dollars in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25.7% from 2024 to 2030. This is mainly due to the increasing demand for legal marijuana and the increasing number of countries beginning to legalize medical marijuana.

Please note that the above data may change with changes in laws, markets, and societal attitudes.

Growing marijuana without soil and water might sound somewhat paradoxical, but in fact, there is a method of cultivation known as "hydroponics" that can achieve this.

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants that does not use soil. In this method, you suspend the roots of the plant in a nutrient-rich water solution. Oxygen and fertilizer are delivered to the plant's required nutrients through water. Typically, hydroponic cultivation is set up indoors.

Here are some basic steps of hydroponics:

Gently wrap the marijuana seeds in a damp paper towel.
Place the paper towel on a flat surface, then cover it with a dish to ensure the paper towel does not dry out.
Let them sit for 24 hours. You can also put the damp paper towel and seeds in a sealable plastic bag.
Mix the nutrients and water in a can or reservoir.
Start the pump and wait for about 30 minutes for the nutrients and water to mix.
Add beneficial bacteria and closely monitor the pH. The ideal range for a hydroponic garden is between 5.5 and 6.5.

Please remember that even though hydroponics does not require soil, marijuana still needs water, light, nutrients, and appropriate environmental conditions to grow.
