“I’ve known GGL for years, and I knew that even when it was illegal, he used marijuana for medical reasons. The whole grow-your-own was a new thing for him — and me. Gardening is generally pretty low-tech. Growing plants in one’s basement in order to maximize output while minimizing input is not, and it satisfies GGL’s inner tech geek in ways that just cultivating plants would not. He gets the same way about brewing beer, about hunting for razor clams, and about re-engineering instruments for RockBand. GGL is a man after PopSci’s geeky heart and brain if there ever was one.”
