I think people are way to over paranoid about getting busted imho. Especially small closet grows. Why can't a GF know about you growing, if shes not cool/trustworthy enough to not divulge a secret that could get you arrested/robbed, she shouldn't be cool enough to be your girlfriend. I grew and sold bud for about a year in a heavy traffic downtown area, always had a QP on hand, many people coming to my apt getting bud, but everyone of them was trustworthy and I had full faith whenever I sold that it wouldn't go past them and me. I guess if your not privileged to have trustworthy friends, being paranoid is good.

For a first post you've managed to pack a lot of bad advice into a small space there.

Talk about busting onto the scene and doing a big belly flop.

Have you ever been to a Texas prison? You'd be a paranoid mofo too. Plus, you just shit all over RULE #1.

 

[BOSCO]

Gramps never mind rule no.1 and trusted friends, all it takes is some fucking nosey neighbor witnessing the toing and froing to make 1 phone call.

Steady's post sounds like a recipe for disaster.

you think your faith will hold up if one of your "trustworthy" custies is staring down the barrel of some jail time? if the choice is him going down or his connect going down.....guess what?

 

[Hammerhead]

The problem is when you have been together for awhile and then you start fighting and she uses your grow against you. When you first hook up there's never an issue. The problems start later in the relationship you call her a bitch the next thing you know she's on the phone with Leo telling all your secrets. Any girl of mine needs to go through alot before I tell them anything that can hurt me

 

[SteadyHeady]

I'd love to know whenever you've heard of a person getting pinched for an 1/8thoz or 1/4oz and the police pressing them with charges/jail time if they don't tell them where they got it from. Never heard of that. In fact I've known people who've gotten popped with +2oz, and they didn't ever come close to going to jail, and these aren't people with a lot of money to make charges go away, normal people. Maybe its the police where you are located that are gung ho about drug charges or whatnot but where I come from, the cops aren't really worried about where some mid-20s guy gets his quarter of heady bud, much larger fish to fry if you will

And like I said, if your GF is not cool enough to know you grow, then she shouldn't be cool enough to even be around you, at least that's how I run things. I was just telling you all what my situation was, and that's how it was, no bullshit. Being paranoid is not really a problem, probably an asset, but being over paranoid to the point where its starting to affect your life in adverse ways is not for me, and I would do a thorough self-evaluation and some re-prioritizing in my life if I ever came to that point. I'm glad to see you all jumped on the hater band wagon though its funny. And yeah I just recently registered here, I've been a long time member over at TokeCity, and this forum is like 3x as big as TC so I thought I'd check it out, sorry for sharing.

Your what?
21, 22 maybe?

Give life a chance to really stick it in your ass good, via one of these "trustworthy friends" you're so privileged to have.

Seriously, you'll see eventually.

Who ever said anybody knew about my grow? I said I grew and sold bud, not that anyone I sold too knew I grew bud.

You either are lying about not telling anyone if you told your GF or you don't have a GF and are really Yummybud.

You sold 1/8ths and 1/4. That's great. Your right, no cop going to sweat someone for that. Whatever. If you had a bunch of people constantly coming and going into the place you were growing that's epic fail. You didn't get caught. Super job. You should play the lottery. You obliviously don't live around Houston TX.

Telling a GF you grow is crazy IMO. Haven't you ever heard of the saying "Hell has no fury like a woman scourned."

Edit: I know lots of people do and that's great, it really is, but if you are not in a serious relationship this becomes a much bigger issue IMO. It just depends on what you believe the risk vs reward will be.

I can see where you're coming from and it is well grounded, but I guess it comes down to the individual situation, my grow room is scrubbed so I'm not worried people coming in, people in my same apartment building are all cool and most toke and I am on a friendly basis with all them, they couldn't care less about a little extra traffic. And not telling my GF would cause me to worry much more compared to if I did. And I was speaking on growing and having a GF in general, I didn't have a GF at the time I was speaking of, so no I didn't break rule 1, but its nice to see you assumed.

 

[sackoweed]

In Maine even if your not medical, 2.5oz is decrim.... (disclaimer: I am NOT siding with steadyheady)

 

[supermanlives]

i dont care. i am legal medicinal user and my grow is in a locked room. i have people over all the time and nobody knows i grow. i just say i buy my weed from a dispensary.

 

[Molson]

Telling anyone you grow is a pain in the dick for a variety of reasons (which all or most of us on here are aware of). And as such, that little piece of information should never be divulged unless absolutely necessary (i.e. partners, wife, etc)

The thing is people are all "cool" and "chill" when things are going good, but as soon as shit hits the fan you really get to see how strong their allegiance to you is. When things are good, nobody has any reason to blab or rat, but when everything goes to hell it's a different story.

 

[RudolfTheRed]

steadyheady stop spreading false and bad information around on this site.

ex-girl friends are our biggest threats.

just because things are good now with a girl don't mean they always will be.

you are acting like a moron if you think other wise.

people flip over small amounts all the time. especially women. not saying this is always the case, but lets be real. a male cop can intimidate females a lot easier than he can another man, and if she is an ex- that hates you.... well more than likely they are going to turn informant.

small town cops love to make examples out of anyone. until you know the situation i'd say... hush. not everyone lives in dandy California where you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want, and just because your friend or something got busted with a couple ounces and nothing happened... doesn't always make that the case, and two... two ounces of pot is a lot different than a god damn sophisticated grow in your own home. aye??

and at what point did i say is was being affecting adversely enough that i needed to completely change my life? can something bother me just a little bit? do i have to love every single aspect of growing? no. i do a lot of things in life that have a few drawl backs but the overall enjoyment i get from doing whatever it is i want triumphs everything else. when i'm dedicated to something i got 150% all the way. no bullshittin'. sometimes you have to make sacrifices to do what you love. who is to say that is wrong or pathetic? you punk assess? a couple of punk kids who've probably never fully dedicated themselves to anything in life. i wouldn't expect you to... because well, not everyone is strong enough to hack being a real man or women.

Bro I'm sorry that you feel the need to hurl personal insults as a defensive reaction to information you perceive as threatening to your ego. Smoke some 2c-c and put the ego aside for a minute, and listen.

One of the most important aspects of being human is living in society. This is an easily proven fact fact. Without human society, you would not have the Internet, or a house, or lights, or plants, or civilization. You'd be some lonely creature sitting alone in a dark, damp cave somewhere in Africa, scavenging for rats to eat. So yeah, it is important to be able to live a normal life in regards to enjoying others' company and having the occasional visitor over to your house. And when you are giving all that up because of a damn plant....YES there is a problem.

Seriously, drop the attitude. Don't act like your age means a damn thing, or gives you any authority over what it means to live. It doesn't. If you've got such a handle on what living is all about, why don't you write a damn book? Open your ears and listen for once in your life. I don't know everything, but I do know some shit. This "young punk kid" has probably already done, seen, and learned more in his life than you ever will....and I'm nowhere near finished.

If you were truly wise, you'd know that you can learn something from anyone no matter how old they are. So why don't you try learning something from me, and diversify your life? Only people who have nothing else to offer spend 100% of their effort on just one thing. Sane people leave at least 20-30% left over to dedicate to other things, socialization being a key aspect. Figure out how to meet, make, and keep new friends. Bring people over, and hide your shit. Don't stay shut up in your musty house and become another creepy old man who doesn't have any friends cause all his small clique of "close friends" who were "all he ever needed in life" died off over the years, leaving him bitter and alone at the end, rotting away in a nursing home.

I only smoke weed and personal insults have been tossed around by everyone in here. Just shut up you sound like some whiny-ass little kid.

Dude have you read a single word I have typed correctly yet? At what point did I say I was lonely, or that I completely avoid all contact with human contact? Your going on about cavemen in Africa, and a bunch of other bullshit about human civilization and it makes no fucking sense. I have said like 5-6 times I have a few family and friends that I can confide in, and that FOR ME AT THIS AGE that is good enough. Aside from the wanting to have the occasional women over I do not feel like I am missing out on anything, and I'm not going to stop growing over that 1 thing. That does not make me reclusive or anything like that. Another thing I have said is I don't like having to constantly lie to certain people because I am old school and like telling the truth, and at times its a hassle, but again... not big enough to stop growing. I was just trying to fucking rant for a minute so just shut the hell up already.

Seriously, drop the attitude. Don't act like your age means a damn thing, or gives you any authority over what it means to live. It doesn't. If you've got such a handle on what living is all about, why don't you write a damn book?

At what point did I claim to know anything over anyone else here? I have only ranted about my life, said what works for me, given my opinion about a few things, and that is it. That does not mean I think I am always right or that everyone should live life the way I can or want to.

Don't stay shut up in your musty house and become another creepy old man who doesn't have any friends cause all his small clique of "close friends" who were "all he ever needed in life" died off over the years, leaving him bitter and alone at the end, rotting away in a nursing home.

At what point is not having people over from work or the occasional women make me a recluse in some musty house? Oh, and that is what happens when your old and dying the people around you usually die to, and as I have said a million times I will have family there, as I am close to them and when I dying and almost dead family is all I'm going to need. If you want a bunch of people around you when your old and dying that you don't even know then be my guest but that ain't me.

And how in the hell do you know what i do based on a few posts i've made? when have i said that all i do is sit in my house and avoid human contact? where have i ever said that? you've taken one single rant and assumed a bunch of shit that simply is not true. at what point did i say i associate with just 2 people or something like that? never. just shut up. for someone who claims to be wise you sure can't read a single thing i've said correctly.

 

[Molson]

Before this thread gets closed lol... I'd like to add one thing. If LE/whoever wants to get to you/your grow... they'll put pressure on those around you... so might not be worth it having a bimbo gf know everything unless you trust her w/ your life.
