I always assume I'm being watched, and act accordingly. So no worries. Sure do enjoy vacations though, when I know no one knows me. haha. Toughest Job/hobby You'll ever love. Put out, put out, Money, time, opportunity cost, foregoing a social life to a certain extent, when One could be doing something else. Risk, no shows, you name it.

No ripoffs in over 12 years. I'm vigilant. Pretty sure I have been followed out of clubs, but I knew it due to the above. Shook em. I know I was being cased out in norcal on the properties. Even had the Landlady's BF show up day before harvest parking down the street and arriving with 4 unknown guys for some stupid reason . Dealt with it all HEAD ON, everytime. The Deer Meat salesman in Late September, who ignored the gate, and no trespassing signs, accusing me of being a vegetarian, for looking at him sideways for crossing the property line.. I Walked right up to them and demanded to know their full name and business. Followed by a calm, direct "Move On Fella, Now." Never let em see ya sweat. Anyone. Then without taking a breath, wave nicely at the old lady down the block who loves when You help he get her runaway pets back, who's elderly husband holds their front door open with a rifle, etc. Be courteous and respectful to LEO, if ever a meeting, even in town, they remember ya - or your car - gestures like that go far.

I never been robbed and I have grown and made people happy in a few diff states...but I am a crazy fucker and don't mind meeting my maker long as I take atleast one with me...but I am very observant and prepared...I can almost sense a bad situation before it happens ..6th sense.. I have walked away from a few deals and outright refused to deal with some folks..don't get greedy

I got mugged by the gypos once when i was 15 and drunk off my mind, but never in my weed growing years. Kinda wish those gypos would come and try to rob me now, they'd have another thing coming

Got robbed for a pizza once. SF Sunset district. 4 youths. Took a punch, dealt a punch. Saw a gang running towards me, with one gunman. I Threw the pizza face first on the ground, and said Fuck you. Ran around the block taking the roundabout way home.. What do ya think da Bruthas will do for a p..?

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.

I think I got more scars from fights over "women" than over a "weed deal"...lol.

I can recall a few times when things got "real tense" while conducting biz with some "bad dudes"....but we all kept our heads (no one bled); the downside--everyone's hardware kept getting bigger with each subsequent transaction/meeting...but we all respected each other.

Some people--if you show a "lack of respect"...it flips their "lets get crazy" switch.

If he means what i think he means then the stats prove him right. It pays to stereotype in this game g.

If people be knowing u got a house full of ganja ...... be ready !

[EclipseFour20]

^^^ Right there is breaking Rule #1. Loose lips sink ships.

Why should ANYONE know you have a house full of ganja? Bragging/showing off your garden will not result in good things....only bad. Find other ways to stroke your ego.

Rule #2. Need to know. If you don't have a need to know...you don't know. IMHO, no one needs to know...except the guy that steps in when I am sick or take vacation (vacation...what's that?).

Simple question LEO asks, "give me something I don't have"....and why be a topic of discussion--if you don't have to be? What LEO does not know...they don't know, unless someone tells them.
