Lost another one...for now
Lost another one...for now
There's risk in everything you do in life.
Not all of us are 20-somethings who are doing this to 'eek' by or just to have free smoke.Homes,families,established careers on the line. It's much larger than that, it's about them trying to control us in any way they can.
(Child of the 70's...whatcha expect?)
Good luck with your last year of school and remember you can't un-learn how to grow...we'll be here when you're ready to join the movement...again.
Peace,
SSM

I guess there are other people that feel the same as I do. Dude doesn't smoke, doesn't like people who sell weed and doesn't smoke anymore and never liked it as much as growing weed. Thanks to pop and others.
Well then you must not have been looking.
Indoor and outdoor.
Damn...the egotistical bastards are running rampant tonight!!
I ain't seeing nothing in any of the 2 of ya'll's shit...that would make me call you a Grower--
This girl made a Thread from what she is feeling...and you don't have anything better to do than to come shit in it--
Get a life--
To SkimmingDaSky...keep on keepin' on--

Ignorant posts are not needed.
To the OP take the break you need to give you peace of mind while finishing school, having that stress on you at all times can really take a toll on you and cause you to slip up and get caught. No doubt you will be back at this great hobby in future years. Its in our blood. Either way good luck in the path you follow.
IMO outdoor is more risky, no real control over who passes by your crop in the wilderness, at least behind closed and locked doors in the security of your home you can avoid detection if you follow rule #1.

Best of luck to you.
... just because you worked for 11 years and the supplier dont shouldnt rub you the wrong way....the 9 to 5 thing just aint for some people.....besides look at the risk he or she is taking to hook you up, that is a job in itself .....mo
True that but when you are a working person and you see some other guy living better than you are with no job and just "living it up" that can be a natural reaction. In my case, this guy was always selling me 1/8's of shake and it seemed like he was hooking up other people with the good nugs so I was like why am I contributing to this?

Move where people are like you. Don't try to fit in with society. It will only make you unhappy in the long run. This seems to be about your future. The human personality is a rich tapestry that requires fulfillment on multiple levels. I'd bet you'll be moving after college. Your family will always be there and boyfriends come and go so don't give up a piece of yourself to satisfy others. I've moved far away from my family and its only made us closer. I wish I could move every 4 years, but the logistics...
Don't hate on your dealer/grower. Walk a mile in his shoes. Only ever blame yourself for where and what you are...not who YOU have in your life. Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Not punching a time clock does not equate to "no job". Just wanted to point that out before saying this:
Get your degree, move to a legal state and continue your passion. Yes, it is possible...I'm living it (college degree and all). You can also make a living growing in a legal state....and yes, it's a job. It entails far much more than I believe you've thought of. Don't give up on Mary Jane....just get your ass in gear, get your stuff done and pursue her later on. Good luck to you

x2 Don't hate the playa, hate the game.
Get the degree and move. Vote with your feet.

I'd suggest talking to an attorney. In some "1 plant is a felony" states, 1st offenses are largely ignored. Especially small offenses belonging to upright, white, do gooders who can afford attorneys.
Talk to a criminal defense attorney who will do a free consultation. Ask him what you'd be looking at for a personal level small indoor grow up. You could even take the money you'd spend on a dealer and put up a small retainer with the attorney.
Hell, with only a year to go, you could be out of school and working before a case was finally closed!
I know it's intimidating, but find out for real. I know first time offenders who didn't end up with shit for a record, even in very unfriendly states...

You're right, I ain't trying to start a battle-- I just felt that she didn't have the level of Hate that I heard, coming--
She isn't saying or doing anything wrong...just looking for a li'l support--

If your'e really concerned about the heat, that's understandable. I live in one of the worst states, and that hasn't stopped me from enjoying myself. Maybe take a break for a while, sort your priorities. I don't think too much caution is as bad as not enough, so follow your gut then.

Whats so hard to believe in somebody liking growing more than smoking?
Start a thread aimed at growers not smokers include a poll and I think you may be surprised with the end result.
Either way your comment makes me chuckle considering it was posted on a site dedicated and focused on the growing of cannabis not the smoking of it
Well folks, as much as I enjoy growing and smoking weed, I have come to a point where I just can't do it anymore. :-(
I def enjoy growing it more than smoking it, but I live in a state where 1 plant= a felony. I have gotten away with growing twice, but this time as I was building a new stealth cab, I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. I have 1 more year left in school and it sunk in, what if I get busted? I will have wasted hard work and effort on a degree I can't even use b/c of my criminal record.
And no offense to any dealers on here, but my dealer does not have a job. It kind of rubs me the wrong way after working almost 11 hr days paying him so he can sit on his butt all day when I could just grow it, but I can't.
UGGHHHH. I just want to go back in time and punch Harry Anslinger in the face. So, I've decided to quit for good. Quitting isn't the hard part, its giving up a hobby I truly enjoy. And its giving up something that truly relaxes my body and mind. Maybe I'll start up again if my state passes some type of law. Or maybe I'll do an outdoor grow....IT really sucks tho b/c its so much fun to watch a tiny seed turn into a huge beautiful plant. O well. Its been fun. :-( [end rant LOL]
Good luck to you! I'm sure you'll be back! I quit for the job reason before, but the quitting did not last with me! Don't listen to the haters everybody has to do what they need to do for whatever reason that it makes sense to them! In other words do whats right for YOU!!!!!
