What does a MJ grower look like.....

[Smokerman]

The reason I ask this is because, this past summer I went to the garden center bought 2 bales promix and the loader guy gives me this I know what your doing look and says happy growing. WTF I'm 50 yrs old with long hair and short grey beard. How often is everyone else stereotyped?

My Trailer Park Boys attire usually sells me out. Here in Southern ON, all the landscaping guys & commercial growers use Pro-Mix, it's very popular for grass.

 

[xcrispi]

And you , and you , and you too .
Fuck what ppl. think .We smoke funk and they smoke junk .

Skinhead, tattoos, general not-giving-a-fuck demeanour.
Clothes can be crappy old ones to preppy-type.

I'd have to say most cannabis growers are varied in looks. From the city slicker to the good 'ole boy, hippie to gangster... I always see a wide variety of folks at the grow shop!!!....

I don't know Smokerman...did you blaze one before heading to the shop? Being a smoker...I often don't realize just how much I reek...LOL!! I've been "checked" if you will...from everybody from my family to the door guy at a club..."That stuff smells right!!" is what the doorman felt compelled to say one evening while showing my ID....

Just a quick story somewhat related to the topic...
One day while visiting some friends in Nelson,B.C. We were down at a coffee shop sitting outside enjoying a wonderful September afternoon, when out of nowhere...an old beat up van with tinted windows pulls over the curb while pulling into the lot, making all kinds of racket "bottoming out"....out steps some dude with long brown dreadlocks and dark shades wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt...followed by another blonde headed dreadlocked guy with dark sunglasses and a Cannabis Culture t-shirt and a very cute hippie chick(ankles shaved anyway)...One of the guys had dirt and mud all over him, goes to check underneath the van,...turns and looks at us and says "Wow man...I'm sure glad I didn't blow out the oil pan" and they all walk into the coin wash next door. We all busted out laughing till tears came down!!! Definitly an "outdoor crew" coming into town to do some laundry !!!

I will say whenever I'm in the growshop...I can tell you just by looking at someone and by what they're purchasing whether or not their growing tomatoes or not...

Other than that...I really don't have an answer for you...we're a pretty varied lot to say the least...

This happens to anyone buying garden supplies, especially in the off season.

I look rather preppie when I go out shopping usually, had a cashier girl at walmart ask me what I was growing when I was buying perlite in december.
"Tomatoes!" (*smack myself for not having a better answer*)

To which she blatantly responded:
"Sounds like it would get you high!"

WTF ROFL I think she just wanted to get blazed though, I just said no and got outta there..

 

[GET MO]

There almost always 8 feet tall, got long hair and long beards down past there chestesses. They usually eat ginger chews and dont say much. most of them have a scar on there face from something that has to do with growing. They usually walk with a gangsta lean and where a cross between hippie/gangster/biker clothes. They dont like the color red. They always have a couple long finger nails on an otherwise clipped hand so it looks like they do coke but really its just for grabbin little stuff. Also, they always got a Grill with Diamonds in it.
A lot of times they are paranoid too, so they think what probably is a harmless stoner asking questions could really be an elite pig doing research in order to help there opression skills.

I agree with this too, it does look weird buying gardening supplies in winter, although I always go to my local hydro shop, everyone looks like a grower in there

That would be me too

the thing about weed is that,

anybody can smoke weed

I remember my first time in amsterdam, I sit down at the coffeshop,
so many different people

there was this 40 year old chinese woman

to me, that was strange

everybody and anybody smokes

 

[Space Ghost]

a nude 80yo man with dreads down to his knees huddled in the fetal position, defecating, urinating, and vomiting simultaneously with swastikas and satanic symbols branded on his chest and back...

well, that's me at least, don't know what you guys look like...

 

[kaotic]

I don't know... How long is a string? Apply same answer to above.

 

[accessndx]

I'd have to say there are some rather unsubtle people movin' and shakin around the grow shops.....it's typically not some "Leave it to Beaver" looking dad strolling around the aisles. It's EXACTLY what you'd expect.....people that look like they're stumbing out of a Dead show after having been dosed one too many times....searching in vain for their VW van. It's also the gangster wanna-be yo-yo-pop-a-cap-in-your-ass hood monkey guidos that try to keep a "low profile" (yeah right.....like an Ebb & Flow table is gonna fit in your IROC). Then there's always the old post-yuppie pseudo-intelligencia retired hippy that thinks nobody on the earth could possibly peg THEM as a grower....
Invariably there's always some loudmouth going off about some nonsense at unnecessary volumes. They'll say something real cool like: "How about them tomatoes? Bet you could grow some GREAT TOMATOES...." with the obligatory sinister and "knowing" cackle.

Ooofah...going to those places is a necessary evil....but I don't have to like it.

prior to going to college, i was not culturally diverse. i grew up in white suburbia and went to one of the most culturally diverse college campuses in the US. i didn't think that the asians smoked cigs. the first time i saw an asian walk through campus smoking a cig blew my mind. i just dont know why. all stereotypes have been broken since, and people are just people.

i dress casual. look like the typical college guy, but not quite as big of a douche bag.

 

[JerseyDutch]

I look like an insurance salesman/cop/scientist/superhot runway model, and the last time I was in a grow shop, I saw 1 hippy LOADING up, me n my buddy (looks like a broke me), and a loud meatball contractor type. The last guy was the last guy I'd expect to be there...

I shop at the farm store

 

[GeneticHeirloom]

If you guys are ever looking for a good excuse when buying ferts or soil, Rona and Home depot usually carry Citrus ever bearing limes and lemons, also banana trees. Anytime I pick up ferts or explain anything about "horticulture" and get that weird look I get into this whole schpeel i've got worked down about how My lime tree (actually a thorny bush...) doesn't have enough ferts to produce ever bearing fruits which stops me from slicing my limes off my tree and putting them directly into my corona.
after talking about that, they're more interested on how to get that set up themselves than about thinking you might be growing pot.

I'm 23, long hair cause I'm lazy, clean cut, i've met all sorts and seen every stereotype toke up.

Just like them man .
