>so you have a wife and kid........
>you're not legal yet, you just have to send in paperwork and get a patient........
>15yr old in the house.......sneaky, rebellious, bragging age.
>non-stealth grow setup in accessible location around 15yr old kid and wife.

why are you surprised you got caught and what did you expect to happen?

IMHO, you're lucky the stepson told his mom or you first and not all his friends at school, one or more of whom might have a parent who is ultra-conservative or LEO.

Get yourself legal before re-starting. 2 other people already know. One is a woman, the other is a 15yr old kid.....nuff said

Get an apartment or Guerrilla grow. Approaching the wife this time to let her know why you're outa the house at odd hours might be a little more tricky since you already decided to pull the wool over her eyes before. no one likes getting played.

If you get your plants outside now (if they're still in veg or not too far out of it),maybe you can get a ton of clones off them later after you've established a new spot and have your papers.

Just ideas...

I totally agree FirstTracks.

I'm going to try and salvage these babies and get me that patient so I can send in that paperwork!

My wife is cool and she's not yelling or putting her foot down, she's just caught off guard and is worried about the word getting out that we have weed in the basement through her kid.

And I think I was in denial while growing. I did it on a whim with some veggie's and it worked. Well hell now I'm Farmer Brown and have some nice plants.

I know once I'm legal, things will change. People can talk and I'm fine with that, but if I'm LEGAL....then it changes the game.

I'ts ON ME and MY BAD that I didn't follow the rules. Well now I have too since my "dice roll" turned up nice on the grow.

Well what started out on a whim and then good intensions (to become a caregiver) has been immediately stopped. My wife walked into my basement grow area while I was tending and basically gave me the verbal “seize and desist” on the growing.

YES I did NOT confirm my first grow with the “other half”.

I use an old basement shower stall which I’ve converted into a grow room. I also grow vegetables in there as well. However the 2 foot tall Indica’s now dwarf the veggie’s and my 15 year old step-son (her son) mentioned to his mom, “looks like pot” in the basement.

So I told her I’d put on a shower door with a lock. Nope. She doesn’t want “pot” in the house around our kids. Even if they’re locked up.

So I have some NICE healthy plants that I’ve taken out of the light and moved in the basement to a dark area (out of unsuspecting eyes view) and now they sit.

I told her it’s my “head start” on my medical grow. Legal in Michigan. I simply need a patient and send in my paperwork. I’ve simply been slow in finding a patient.

Then and only then I think I could convince her that it’s medical. She doesn’t want “kids to talk” and then parents think we grow pot in the basement. Even if it’s legal….it’s the perception. And I have a fairly high profile in the community with the schools and sports.

I HATE to turn away from an opportunity to help others & help my financial situation.

I think I need to quickly get my “DUCKS in a ROW” and salvage my first grow!


Dude... you blew it and now you're screwed.
The first rule in any happy marriage relationship is total honesty. I suggest you shit can the grow and salvage your relationship.
There's always the option some time in the future of getting legally licensed and running a nice medical grow at another location where you AND your wife can keep it a secret from the youngster(s).

Think about what could happen if the step son tells his real dad. There goes the child alimony payments and perhaps the real dad would end up with legal custody. Don't even think for one minute that the real dad doesn't have his eyes on YOU. If he's paying alimony or child support, he might not think twice about nailing the wife in court and taking away the kid. Its often all about the money and custody. Don't let a few bucks selling mmj blow up your marriage.

I've just vented/posted on the same topic - my Mrs. trashed 8 beans I'd started.

I'm on strike now - I'd been doing cooking, laundry, groceries, coffee for her in the mornin'.

Now, she gets to do it all herself - I'm doin' fuck all. I bought a 12 of beer today, which also pisses her off, AND I have started another set o' beans (but hidden them better).

Wanna be a bitch? I'll give ya somethin' to bitch about.
 
You could've worked it out with the step-son dumbass. I mean as a step-son, I've smoked a lot of weed in my days, and I know I've had issues with my step-father when I was younger. But if he came to me like "dude, I'll give you some weed if you shut your mouth", I'd have played ball. get it?

but mom!

that's not fair!

lol love it

a suggestion though

get the patient setup where you can be a caregiver. Make sure that whatever ducks you need in a row are starting in the order that FIRST makes you legal. If getting the card,patient and all that needs to happen BEFORE you have plants then I would listen to the wife and get it legit first then add them

or better yet

GET OUT OF THE BASEMENT WOMAN!

this is man territory

She seems pretty mean. I would start off gently before aproaching the weed subject again. Maybe first see if she'll even give those balls of yours back....LOL

Dude, the wife is the delicate balance,the grow is not the isssue , it's the respect factor! The kids are a serious issue. When crossing the line with the kids , you cross the line with her!My boys are 13 and 16 and both smoke, I had to include them on my grow and the secrecy of it,the importance of it all all the liabilities. I included them because I had no choice! After years of having very little of common interest, we sit in in my grow room and talk for hours on end. So , if this is what it takes to get on the same level as my two boys who I love dearly? Then so be it , thank you Lord to provide a channel of communication between me and my two boys !!!!!!!!

Listen to this... and most of the other things people have said. Your not legal, with zero sense of stealth if a 15 year old already found them in an unlocked shower.
Get legal, and do a stealth grow.
And don't try to hide it from your wife, because then she'll shut you down again. And I don't think you'll be able to hide it from her anyway.

You do not need to be a caregiver, get a license as a patient for yourself.

IT DOES NOT require any conditions at all or previous paperwork, only requires about $325.00 including the state fee. There are plenty of doctors signing reccomendations for people without prior chart notes or family doctors.

If you cannot locate one of these yourself PM me and I can give you the phone number or address to a WALK IN clinic. Screw finding a patient and get YOUR card!

your wife is right, because you married her. also, she is right, kids do talk. 15 year old can be cunning little mother truckers at times. imagine him having you all(that's right, no contraction for you)by the balls PER SE.


.....

already too many know. cool it, stealth it up and risk your marriage, or do it properly and after discussion. i havent read the whole thread; to me, my input is worth more than yours - plural.
