ONE GROWER FROM ESTONIA

I never planned to become a public personality.

I just kept learning, creating, testing ideas and building things that made sense to me. Over time, that became The Weedy-G and somewhere along the way, it also became OG_FROM_ESTONIA.

Grower. Creator. Founder. Builder.

A little bit of everything.

Follow me on Instagram! 

When I first came to Gran Canaria, different people started calling me OG.

Not once.

Not from one person.

It kept happening.

At first I found it funny because in my head, “OG” meant something completely different.

Then one day I started playing with the letters.

OG = One Grower.

That actually made sense.

So the old online nickname disappeared and @og_from_estonia was born.

Not Original Gangster.

One Grower From Estonia.

A grower who came from the north and found a completely different world on an island in the Atlantic.

Cannabis became much more personal to our family during one of the hardest periods of our lives.

After my grandmother suffered a stroke, she lost the ability to speak and needed constant care. She could still communicate in her own way, but life had suddenly changed completely — for her and for all of us.

Our family cared for her together. During those years, we carefully explored different cannabis preparations as part of our efforts to make everyday life more comfortable for her. That experience changed the way we looked at the plant.

At times, we felt that she seemed more active and engaged with daily life. She would walk the dog, keep an eye on the cat, spend time outside and explore the island with her daughter instead of remaining in bed for most of the day. Those moments meant a great deal to our family.

We do not present that experience as medical evidence, treatment advice or proof of what cannabis can do for someone else. It was simply our family's experience — but it became one of the reasons I wanted to understand the plant more deeply.

The same curiosity grew through other experiences within our family and among people around us.

Cannabis affects people differently.

That is why I became more interested in understanding the plant — what it does, why experiences can differ and how it affects different people — rather than simply accepting every claim made either for or against cannabis.

One thing has become increasingly important to me:

• I want to know where things come from.

• If we use flower, I prefer knowing who grew it.

• If we create something, I want to understand the process.

• If something can be made ourselves to the standard we want, I would rather learn how to do it than blindly trust what appears on a shelf.

That thinking became part of:

• The Weedy-G Collective

• Stoned Estonian Chef

Know the material. Learn the process. Improve the result.

BMX has followed me through different periods of my life. I have left it behind more than once. Somehow it always finds its way back. There is something about the combination of freedom, creativity, risk and repetition that fits my personality.

Try.

Fail.

Try again.

Make it cleaner.

Do it your own way.

In that sense, BMX and The Weedy-G probably have more in common than they first appear to.

Some stories can stay private.

Not everything belongs on the internet.

Music became another way to release thoughts that otherwise stay inside. Canary Islands On The Track is where I turn real experiences into lyrics. The stories come from life. The Weedy-G. Gran Canaria. People.  Good periods. Bad ones. Things I have seen. Things I have done. Things I still think about.

There is no need to invent a lifestyle when enough has already happened and there is still far more material than I could realistically turn into songs.

One track at a time.

I do not want fame.

I do not need to be everywhere.

I do not want everyone to know everything.

What I want is a peaceful private life and enough freedom to keep creating.

The Weedy-G gives me that space.

A place where ideas around cannabis, creativity and community can slowly become real projects.

There is no final version of it.

With enough knowledge and experience, there are always ten new directions you could take.

The difficult part is choosing which one deserves your time.

Private by nature. Creative by instinct.

I can be the calmest person in the room or the hardest one to move.

Which side you meet usually depends on what you bring to the table.
