Homegrown marijuana: Inside Minnesota's growing market

A bookshelf covers an entire wall in Bob Walloch’s Minneapolis home. From floor to ceiling, it’s filled with popular novels, art pieces and family photos. However, with one swift pull, Walloch reveals a hidden passageway to his personal crop of homegrown marijuana.

  2. @rodneybiltman2005 on December 29, 2024 at 2:05 am

    There’s nothing better and safer than home-grown!

  3. @someone-ot9zm on December 29, 2024 at 2:06 am

    The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good.
    Never trust the government. They are not God.

    Awesome !!!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. @Cobra3901 on December 29, 2024 at 2:07 am

    I wish they would quit 🤬-ing around and get the stuff going already. I’m sick of buying black market. 😡

  7. @theamerican3686 on December 29, 2024 at 2:08 am

    I just dont get why people fool with flower when theres cheap concentrates 10 a g mailed to your house legally lmfao 😂 🤣 💀

  8. @Gamebit450 on December 29, 2024 at 2:08 am

    Yes I can buy weed …oh wait in 5 years ….O….M….G ! This is taking FOREVER! Natives are charging up the ARS for the product they sell.

  9. @BigolCockenhammer-pp9sj on December 29, 2024 at 2:11 am

    Home grown is best ….

  10. @skankhunt420 on December 29, 2024 at 2:13 am

    I’m so jealous!
    In germany, we will be able to own three plants, while you’re allowed to own 50g at home…
    No private trading allowed, theoretically of course 😉
    How’s that supposed to work, to get only 50g of high quality bud from three plants? 😂

  11. @plumberjoe80 on December 29, 2024 at 2:15 am

    You can get 4 oz out of one plant indoors with relative ease.

  12. @IzzySpeaks on December 29, 2024 at 2:16 am

    We have to go homegrown. Corporate cannabis has a total of 16% sales tax and the permits for retail sale are obscene.

  13. @nategunn2830 on December 29, 2024 at 2:16 am

    About time 🎉

  14. @vitoscaletta3511 on December 29, 2024 at 2:16 am

    Letting states decide their own marijuana laws shows how stupid each state is in their own special way

  15. @bigdoobiesterps on December 29, 2024 at 2:19 am

    An oz for a year 😭😭

  16. @joekennedy6788 on December 29, 2024 at 2:21 am

    Come to CannaCon August 16th and 17th to get all you need to start your grow!!

    lol.

  18. @TheMNPotCast on December 29, 2024 at 2:22 am

    Anyone who wants their cannabis reviewed LET US KNOW

  19. @Maelthras on December 29, 2024 at 2:26 am

    You can legally sell your cannabis, does not apply to anything but a legal private grow. Minnesota Consitution Article 13, Section 7. NO LICENSE REQUIRED TO PEDDLE. Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor.

  20. @BigBootyDuty on December 29, 2024 at 2:26 am

    Where’s the growing market? Smoke shops are being taxed beyond belief and the government is forcing brands to be unable to be sold. You can’t actually buy the flower, it’s not allowed yet in 99% of the state.

  21. @malkavianloner8808 on December 29, 2024 at 2:26 am

    i miss the quality of weed that cane from Minnesota….. can we bring back the growers that brought us 2009-2015 crops?? it was ACTUALLY decent buds, far surpassing the quality that california and oregon had.

  22. @EPiche09 on December 29, 2024 at 2:29 am

    That shelf is awesome. Grow your own. Its cheaper and can be very sustainable

  23. @DRE383 on December 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    cannabis-prohibition = 13th Amendment aka SLAVERY

  24. @CindyJohnson-r8j on December 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    It’s my 20th…I mean 2nd run…heh.

  25. @mydnytmover on December 29, 2024 at 2:34 am

    You can pick up an ounce of great stuff in Michigan, All you see at the dispensaries are Wi and Mn. License plates .

  26. @bruiserbong4001 on December 29, 2024 at 2:35 am

    Ounce over a year? 😂 how about a week?

  27. @JuliCoit on December 29, 2024 at 2:36 am

  28. @Scribe13013 on December 29, 2024 at 2:37 am

    Little house on the dope field yo!

  29. @NWMinneGrowta on December 29, 2024 at 2:37 am

    It’s not marijuana it’s cannabis. Marijuana was the derogatory slang used during prohibition(because of our friends down South) for more than a century. Time to set things right.

  30. @Snackz11 on December 29, 2024 at 2:38 am

    Hope corporations don’t over

    Of course the government has to regulate everything.

    _"In strict medical terms _*_marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume._*_ For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. _*_Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."_*
    *- Francis Young (Drug Enforcement Agency Judge – 1988)*

    _"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”_
    *- Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)*

    _“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”_
    *- Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)*

    _"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."_
    _“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”_
    *- William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)*

    _"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."_
    *- Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)*

    _“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.”_ ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
    *- Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)*

    _"Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."_
    *- Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)*

    _"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I’ll prove it to you. You’re at a ball game or a concert, and someone’s really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"_
    _“Why is pot against the law? It wouldn’t be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can’t make a profit off it, would it?”_
    _“…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”_
    *-Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)*

    _"If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on."_
    *- Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)*

    Older white guy breaks laws for years zero consequences.

    The stores are very expensive. Streets cheaper anyways. Home grown hood prices 2

  41. @prawnstar9213 on December 29, 2024 at 2:51 am

    Minnesota! 75% psychologically normal which is better than most states today!

  42. @canaanatkinson7830 on December 29, 2024 at 2:52 am

    nice

  43. @Pickitout on December 29, 2024 at 2:52 am

    Market? Grow your own. You don’t need a market.

  44. @BA-wd1oo on December 29, 2024 at 2:52 am

    I suppose Bob’s secret room isn’t so secret anymore. But he just gave me an idea for my next home construction project…
    Also, his wife, Erin made a great point about home growers. You can only imagine how much great cannabis is being grown that the world will never even hear about!

  45. @smvanderlouw on December 29, 2024 at 2:53 am

    Remember to make RSO with the trim

  46. @chuckbailey6835 on December 29, 2024 at 2:55 am

    Quasi legal at best!
    An oz from 2 plants what the hell is he growing them in solo cups

  47. @MuayThaiGinger on December 29, 2024 at 2:56 am

    I wish i could grow at home but no clue what i would do about the smell

  48. @carlrball on December 29, 2024 at 2:56 am

    The whole drug situation is lost. Legalizing or not legalizing drug use has little impact on its’ usage. People will consume them anyway.On the other hand legalizing marijuana, the least dangerous of drugs, has resulted in an increase in usage. What a mess.

  49. @gratefullee1042 on December 29, 2024 at 2:58 am

    Over here sitting in Wisconsin lookin like an asshole… 🤬😶‍🌫️

  50. @jakev1341 on December 29, 2024 at 3:02 am

    Damn, an ounce per year? I might be smoking too much…
