Hello! My name is legalcanada. I'm a medical cannabis patient and licensed grower under Canada's ACMPR program. I will be documenting my experiences as a new medical cannabis grower, sharing any knowledge i gain and learning from others along the way!

I'm not sure how many are aware but lately YouTube has been ramping up its censorship in all things, and cannabis users have been affected greatly.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of channels featuring legal cannabis patients have been getting strikes, often three strikes and termination before they can even appeal the first. These creators are just trying to document their progress and make informative videos to help new medical cannabis patients grow their own medicine efficiently and safely.

Hopefully Steemit and dtube will be more receptive as there'll likely be an influx of users searching a new platform to freely express themselves.

Salud!

Hello legalcanada! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

I did one of the top videos in the world on legalization in Canada at World Alternative Media. They recently gave me an age restriction.
YouTube has been censoring many of us for years. Decentralization is always the future, another reason why Steemit has so much potential.

It's a genuine purge on YT! Welcome to steemit! Hopefully you're gonna find new friends and followers here!

yes and dtube is a much better platform. no ads, no censorship, no demonization! if they had livestreaming and a mobile app it would be almost perfect!

btw, is eSteem an official app for steemit?

You have many front-ends. I recommend busy.org.
