should i move back to the uk?

Alright guys and girls?
Ive been in australia for 5 months now and im originally from the uk. The thing is that i cant grow my own weed out here...i just dont have the equiptment and time. I have my own place in the uk where i used to grow my own (check this site for my grows) but im jus wondering if its worth heading back? Whats the wheather like there at the mo and stuff. I mean i dont have any equiptment here in aus and i dont want to splash out on any. Plus...the dealer weed kinda sux here and thats why i grew my own in the uk, if u get me. Plus i get more money in the uk. Its really good in australia though. The wheathers to die for and the beaches are just amazing. Ive lived here before but i kinda miss my grows in the uk. Am i thinking wrong? Going back to uk just for weed? or should i forget about it?
I cant stop thinking about growing, im 24...nearly 25 and im still thinking of it.
Hmm what to do?

thanks, and happy growing.










thats just some pics from my last grow. Sorry if i double posted, i havent used this site in a while.

hey,
just remember that 62% of women in australia are up for 1 night stands VS
like 3% of those frigid english girls j/k
i know what it's like to move from country to country(have lived in 3 so far) and my advice to you is go where you are the happiest, weed can make good times better but it won't make ya happy.
peace

Equipment? go to your local hydro shop or buy online
Time? how will moving to another country give you more time?

How is it that you dont have the equipment or time in Australia yet you would in the UK???

I have my own place in the uk where i used to grow my own (check this site for my grows) but im jus wondering if its worth heading back?
It's illegal to grow pot in the UK also (even more illegal than here in Oz i think? apart from seeds being legal that is)

Whats the wheather like there at the mo and stuff
What it's always like - cloudy, rainy and miserable ;)

Am i thinking wrong? Going back to uk just for weed?
I'm still confused why you can grow pot in the UK but not here??? doesn't make any sense

yeah thanks for the replies. I guess ill stay here and enjoy the wheather and all the good shit that australia has to offer. I have a place in the uk, but i will have to give it up if i decide to stay in aus. All my equiptment is in the uk (tent, light etc) so ill just have to give it up and stay here. Not to worry though, ill come up with something...like an outdoor grow or summin. The thing is that my place in aus is regularly checked by the landlord and estate agents, but im thinkin of moving soon so.
But yeah, thanks for replying.

Ahhhhhh, you didn't mention that before 8)
Yep that'd make it pretty much impossible to grow indoors for now, but the climate here is excellent for growing outdoors

If you're living here i'd sell your UK house and buy a house here, then you can start growing indoors and then the only reasons you seemingly had for moving back to the UK (growing, and your house) will no longer exist

You managed to escape and now your thinking of coming back. You must be a glutton for punishment. The UK has reached the gates of hell and it's handbaskets burning, stay away. Save yourself, run!

yeah with all that glorious weather surely you could grow outside? The street weed here is total shite, you're lucky if it's not laced. Stay there man, you'll regret it otherwise. People envy folk like youself for being able to move out this crappy country.

There are a lot of us here in the Former Colonies(U.S.) who would love to move to the Land of Oz. Unfortunately, Oz doesn't need any more "domestic terrorists".

if you still want the weather but a more canna friendly country give spain a whirl....its looking like the new ganj hotspot for the past couple of years now, but shit mate if i had a choice betwen growing illegally here in bloody yorkshire or growing illegally in the oz sushine with all that wonderful space and stuff to see and not so many ppl in it....i know what id be choosing lol.... anyway i bet theres enough quiet outta the way places you could go live over there where theres no neighbours overlooking you and no one to see ur backyard where youd have no probs growing in a greehouse discreetly or something....
Im using one of those big douwe egberts jar for my hashberry stash too,, my gran bought me the coffee and i immediately nabbed the jar and shoved the coffe in an old plastic pot.... good job i wasnt in the shop or id have bought a dozen coz they were half price
anyway be lucky

You have to be British in order to say the UK is a bad country (union) to live in. It's not a bad country at all - which doesn't exclude that some people there have shitty economies or suffer from ethnic discrimination, etc. There's always someone at the bottom of the food chain.

But once you've moved all across the globe to another continent, why move back, unless you think it was better back home? To some, being able to grow might be an imperative, to some not. It's up to you to decide for yourself.

As to the weather, once the Gulf stream deviates from its present course, and many say it's about to happen, England will turn into Siberian tundra. Australia on the other hand is rapidly turning into all desert due to a manifest climate change all over the continent, and there are experts who seriously claim that the whole of Australia will eventually have to be evacuated.

Stay or leave, chances are you're ****ed either way.

ROFL, why haven't any Aussies been told this before !??!? Is there something you should be telling us? ;)

The center of Australia is/always has been desert, but something like 95% of Aussies live within 20 or so kilometers of the coast anyway. "Australia will eventually have to be evacuated" is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time.

But you seem to know more about Australia than we do ;)

Well, yes Eddie, you do have a point. And it's true that the UK currently holds the world record in eating cockroaches (Ken Edwards of Glossop, Derbyshire, ate 36 in one minute), but don't forget that Australia are world champs in lifting the heaviest weight dangling from a swallowed sword (Matthew Henshaw, Australia, swallowed a non-retractable 40.5 cm/15.9 inches long sword and then held a sack of potatoes weighing 20.1 kg/44 lb/4.96 oz attached to the handle of the sword for five seconds in Sydney, on 16 April 2005), and they also invented Midget Throwing as a sport.

I don't know mate, maybe because you don't read the newspapers?

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/australasia/article2465960.ece

In any case, the "evacuation of Australia" bit was voiced by climatologists talking about long term effects from an increasing desertification of the continent.
If you go back and check carefully, you'll see that I don't say so, but say that experts claim so, as a long term effect of a slow, ongoing Xeric process.

As much as I'd like to disagree, you are 100% right.
We didn't even have a summer here. It's constantly either cold, windy or raining, and I think there may even be a thunder storm outside at this very moment.
