<summary>1.   The CryptoGrow Vision</summary>

**CryptoGrow** is determined to build a future where technology users, providers, and vendors can grow symbiotically; where users control and earn from their own data; where the power to disrupt and save is in the peoples' hands.&#x20;

Our genesis product, the **CryptoGrow** Pod, is our first endeavor to make this dream a reality -- disrupting the emerging cannabis market by making premium, automated, and cost-efficient cannabis growth accessible to all.&#x20;

*The Pod is the first of our hardware to drop, but it's far from all we have ready for you...*

<summary>2.   Why Cannabis? </summary>

&#x20;         **Cannabis has always been&#x20;*****for*****&#x20;The People.**\
&#x20;         **We believe it is high time that it were&#x20;*****by*****&#x20;The People too.**&#x20;

Cannabis is medicine.  It's recreation.  It's culture.  Despite millennia of free use by civilizations the world over, it has been used as a tool to oppress, disenfranchise, and incarcerate by the very same people that now aim to profit from it.&#x20;

Driven by a mission to disrupt predatory industries and empower others with our technology, we see no market more ripe for liberation. &#x20;

<summary>3.   How to Get Started </summary>

**CryptoGrow** makes it possible to effortlessly grow premium cannabis in your own home with our **CryptoGrow** Pod.  How?&#x20;
