Hi there! I’m Chase, aka TempleGrower. I am a licensed medical cannabis grower under Canada’s ACMPR, having been producing my own medicine for the better part of a decade now. I, like many others, began growing my own cannabis due to the lack of availability/consistency as well as costs of having to rely on both the legacy and legal markets. This has led me down the never-ending rabbit hole of cannabis horticulture, chasing after the likes of Sam the Skunkman, Nevil Shoenmakers, Rob Clarke, and all the rest of the trailblazers and pioneers. I am a huge proponent of growing your own and believe that the choice to produce your own medicine is a fundamental human right. Any ‘legalization’ framework that doesn’t include a home-grow provision is not real legalization. Ultimately I believe we should be as free to grow cannabis as we are to grow tomatoes, but that’s a rant for another time…

I have a B.Sc in Geology (University of Saskatchewan, 2014), and am currently working with a local company here in Saskatoon performing cannabinoid extraction/distillation. Nearly every aspect of my life is cannabis-related, whether it’s growing, selecting, breeding, testing (aka smoking), extracting, researching, creating/improving soil blends, or just simply talking about it constantly, I pretty much do it all.

I can usually be found hanging around digitally on Twitter, Youtube, or Instagram slingin’ tips and sharing pics, as well as physically in my backyard chillin out with the birds and the bees. And the plants!

If you’re looking to get started growing your own cannabis, send me an email at (email coming soon) and let’s get started! (Local Saskatoon and area only at the moment!)
