Grow legendary
cannabis — with
the man who did it
to save his life.
84 pills a week. Then zero. Since January 2018, Jeff Bugay has been prescription-free — growing his own clean, terpene-rich, medicinal cannabis right here in Vermont. Now he helps you do the same.
He doesn't just know cannabis — he lives it. Jeff is the real deal. Our harvest was the best we've ever had.
From 84 pills a week to zero — the plant gave me my life back.
Pills per week at my worst — over one million milligrams of anti-convulsants every single year. Brain fog. Exhaustion. I had to step down from Executive Chef. Then line cook. Then I couldn't work at all.
In January 2018, after years of growing my own clean, organic, terpene-rich cannabis and experimenting with ratios, dosages, and strains — I went completely prescription-free. No full-body convulsive seizures since.
That victory lit a fire in me. I founded Home Grown Vermont Professionals LLC to help others experience the same transformation — through clean growing practices, lab-verified genetics, and master-level cultivation knowledge built from 13+ years in the field.
Navy Electronics Technician. Executive Chef. Cannabis Cultivator. And now — Vermont's most trusted grow consultant. Every consultation, every clone, every piece of knowledge I share comes from knowing firsthand what this plant can do when grown right.
Seizures begin. Medication stacks. Side effects devastate. Career starts to collapse.
At 84 pills/week, brain fog and exhaustion make the kitchen impossible. Goes on disability.
Experiments obsessively with CBD/THC ratios, growing his own clean organic medicine to ensure purity and consistency.
Zero full-body convulsive seizures. Can shut down partial seizure activity in 2-3 minutes. Life restored.
Launches Home Grown Vermont Professionals LLC to share master-level cultivation knowledge with Vermont home growers.
Featured in The New Yorker. 175+ indoor cycles. Trusted by hundreds of Vermont growers. Flavor Friday terpene series.

Join The Circle →Stop choosing cannabis by THC percentage.
THC percentage tells you almost nothing about the quality, effect, or medicinal value of cannabis. Terpenes are what determine the experience — and most people have never heard of them.
Every Friday, Jeff drops a deep dive into a different cannabis terpene — what it is, what it does to your body, which strains carry it, and how to read it on your Certificate of Analysis. Free education that most $200 courses don't cover.

"Jeff turned my struggling outdoor grow into the best harvest I've ever had. The COA analysis he did on my strains was eye-opening — I had no idea terpenes mattered this much."
