In the "D" many people refuse to deal with anyone who possesses a 313 area code. 'Nuff said. It's reality folks, and we do not cloud these issues on ICMAG>

If anything EVER Feels wrong. Abort. Period.

tropicannayeah

but I am very observant and prepared...I can almost sense a bad situation before it happens ..6th sense..

and probably like so many other ICmag members I'd like to think I can too. That 6th sense has saved me plenty of times before...and other times, I've felt that 6th sense telling me there's something wrong, I've disregarded it and forged on with gritted teeth anyway and all way good.

Many years ago I was meeting a guy in a coffee shop to drop off a kilo of hash. As usual I did a walk around the area first, but this time something was not right, I couldn't put my finger on it but that 6th sense was screaming in my ear "get the phuck outta here"..so I did another walk around, couldn't see anything so I walked into the coffee shop, did the swap over and left, still feeling the heebie-jeebies big time.

Next day I read a story in the newspaper about a huge heroin bust in the same street very close to where the coffee shop was that happened about 5 minutes after I left. I knew there was something wrong about the vibe in the street but I didn't see the undercover cops that were stacked around the area but my 6th sense did.

One wears MANY hats, as a sole proprietor. Too numerous to list here. The amount of varying tasks endless. Whatever One thinks awaits, workwise, DOUBLE it.

Shit, I will be getting up to the country soon, but for the last year, after a decade+ on 2 acres + in NorCal - Now, in the Metro Area - Another Med State - there's two houses, just a driveway away, and I manage to keep it down-low. Major balancing act. Being a good neighbor, yet keeping 'em ALL at arms length, so no one feel's it's OK to visit whenever they want. Phone calls first, or no answer door.

It takes years of experience and study. read the old-skool growers. Security practices are VERY important. No one gets to know. Very few people even know where I live. It takes a special person to put it all together. I am so careful it's absurd sometimes. But, by doing my protocols, I do not have to worry. After 12 years, I am still just as careful, but confident that if I continue such due diligence, I will 99% be OK. The horror stories in Mendo were amazing. Some were Urban Rural legends, some NOT>. Now, in da Mitten, Metro for now, gotta watch your culo even more. So many weapons, so many Bruthas. But, people are a bit more clueless than the Em Tri, to say the least. A good thing.

Oh no, not another one of these threads! These always develop bad cases of AIDS

Alot of good advice so far but i really liked this bit bolded above, pretty much sums it up for me. It also helps being 6ft + with self defence experience, a high level of fitness, as well as an absolutely zero tolerance for morons & hooliganism. Never work with retards only smart ppl, or even better work by yourself and just have one or 2 contacts.

Haha. Not. My roots in the "da Motor Shitty" go deep. I am not the only one with this sentiment. In fact, I was talking with a very accomplished grower just yesterday, who brought up this idea without prompting from me. 313 = no business deals. I have arrived at this after experiences warrant it, and that is why I do it MY (and many others) way. Same thing I did on the West Coast. Talk ebonics, Be White or Black, "Sorry, I am all out." Too many Guns in this very angry Metropolis. I take NO chances. And Thus, do not have to worry. It works.

I know too many people (including myself) have this capacity.

I can tell if someone is trying to manipulate me, doesn't matter the circumstances.

I feel intent other peoples negative intensely, always have, right in my stomach.

Not much different than some people's dogs.

Let me guess your one of those growers that runs a tight ship and has very few people in their lives that know what you do like so many other growers here. right?

How does that make you expert on the other aspects of the game if your not there playing it?

But let me ask you, you think people who operate at the higher levels of the game, people who interact with others to make shit happen, you think they just roll the dice when they meet people?

You don't you think they have the capacity to read people, their character and get a feel for their current state of mind?

Slander me all you want, sounds like you lack these capacities so they simply don't exist in your mind.

fwiw we have more than 5 senses including but not limited to the sense temperature, direction as well pain, the passage of time.

calm down buddy, no one is "slandering" you, just poking a little fun at the whole "third eye" thing. as the boys from across the pond say, don't get your knickers in a twist

These types of test have taken place of the past few decades in various forms and flavors

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...finally-discovered-evidence-psychic-phenomena

Predictive physiological anticipation preceding seemingly unpredictable stimuli: a meta-analysis
Julia Mossbridge1*, Patrizio Tressoldi2 and Jessica Utts3
1Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA
2Dipartimento di Psicologia Generale, Università di Padova, Padova, Italy
3Department of Statistics, University of California, Irvine, CA, USA

This meta-analysis of 26 reports published between 1978 and 2010 tests an unusual hypothesis: for stimuli of two or more types that are presented in an order designed to be unpredictable and that produce different post-stimulus physiological activity, the direction of pre-stimulus physiological activity reflects the direction of post-stimulus physiological activity, resulting in an unexplained anticipatory effect. The reports we examined used one of two paradigms: (1) randomly ordered presentations of arousing vs. neutral stimuli, or (2) guessing tasks with feedback (correct vs. incorrect). Dependent variables included: electrodermal activity, heart rate, blood volume, pupil dilation, electroencephalographic activity, and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) activity. To avoid including data hand-picked from multiple different analyses, no post hoc experiments were considered. The results reveal a significant overall effect with a small effect size [fixed effect: overall ES = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.15–0.27, z = 6.9, p < 2.7 × 10−12; random effects: overall (weighted) ES = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.13–0.29, z = 5.3, p < 5.7 × 10−8]. Higher quality experiments produced a quantitatively larger effect size and a greater level of significance than lower quality studies. The number of contrary unpublished reports that would be necessary to reduce the level of significance to chance (p > 0.05) was conservatively calculated to be 87 reports. We explore alternative explanations and examine the potential linkage between this unexplained anticipatory activity and other results demonstrating meaningful pre-stimulus activity preceding behaviorally relevant events. We conclude that to further examine this currently unexplained anticipatory activity, multiple replications arising from different laboratories using the same methods are necessary. The cause of this anticipatory activity, which undoubtedly lies within the realm of natural physical processes (as opposed to supernatural or paranormal ones), remains to be determined.

If i had knickers id have a reason to feel dandy

seriously I could only give you the analogy like this. its kinda like most people are color blind and your not, so when you try to explain what you see most people simply scoff.

If you study it, its not a prediction of the future in any regard its a pre event sense of danger that happens right before said event because of some current stimulus

Its a fucked up shit is going to feeling, that only comes when something is about to happen.

I was as skeptical as everyone else about my own anxiety when this would happen, I thought I was nuts, but time and again, my "instinct" was right. It isn't a drug scene talent I just get a feeling for when someone is misrepresenting their true intentions in a negative way.

I am also highly empathetic. Once again I tried to deny it but it was simply a reality for me.

It doesn't win me lotto but it gives me a very good feel for where people are at emotionally and mentally in that time and place space.

I weird for a reason, this is one of them.

Those IMHO are awful suggestions. The fewer people who know where your stash is at, the less likely it is to get grabbed. Also the same goes for the fewer people that know. Stoners can become quite the oceans 11 crew with a couple of P's at the end of the rainbow
