I am moving to New Orleans. I will have a grow up and going as soon as I can. In the months that follow, what and how can a stranger score in N.O.
Thanks

(new)randude, im hoping that wench is long gone by now. and its good to hear your going to be back on your feet soon, i know i will be looking forward to the N.O. growshow. and im not from the area so no hook-up info.



be easy man and watch out for them females

Hey rk, yes that bitch is gone. I cannot believe her nerve. She was put in jail for 3 days (she had to wait for a court appearance) for hitting me. She was served a no contact order too. Well, her first day out of jail she took money from my checking account, highjacked my emails (that is why I am new randude now, I had to change all of that) and she called my work (Boeing) and told them I was going to prohibited web sites, like this one. I was released without pay pending an investigation. I feel I have to go to court against her now too, but if I am in New Orleans before that hearing I probably not go. I should have the Official word on New Orleans in about a week. I flew down to N.O. Sunday and Monday and knocked em dead at the interview. I am just waiting now to work out the financials of the job. This place that is hiring me is very slow. It will be a job that I worked on getting for 2 months. But it is a certainty that I am going though. And I do not know what I am going to do grow wise, but I will be growing for my own head only. Need to get there and check it all out before I start.
Thanks for the props

New Orleans is a great city. I am living here for the next couple of years finishing up school. I bet you got the job all companies down here are hiring like mad. Welcome to the bottom of the map, New Orleans, Louisiana we love to smoke sacks.

nola, I did get the job, and excelent pay too. I will be buyng my weed there, as I am not to sure I will have all I need for a grow there. Who knows, I may just try to grow a single sativa or something. But I will be there by the end of the month. I have the contract in hand.

well right now the town is relatively dry. new harvest gets here around sept. oct. and post katrina the city just hasn't had as much weed as it used to.

permitting you are actually IN new orleans (alot of people SAY they are from new orleans for whatever reason, when they are up to 100 miles outside the city. its really frustrating, they'll say N.O. and you ask what neighborhood and they'll say Norco or something an hour away) you shouldn't have trouble finding bud. Alot of people smoke. there is trainwreck and pineapple going around right now. but mainly old humboldt and bad beasters.

If your from the outer new orleans area its pretty damn hard to find bud at all let alone decent bud.

hope your not moving from the humboldt hills or something because believe me new orleans is not what you would call a quality weed destination.

but police have... err. more than their hands full and they aren't exactly looking to bust small grow ops if you feel me. (don't worry you'll start ignoring the murder stats too after a couple of months; its mostly set trippin and is semi-out of sight)

I can't grow right now either but I'm still smokin decent. you should be okay.

and stay away from that grow store in metarie. its narc run they already busted one guy. welcome to new orleans homie.

There is a good grow shop near the by water that rocks, and can get you anything you need. I would recomend bringing some herb with you, because right now it is really dry last night my girlfriend got some decient organic for 80 fucking bucks for 3.5! I was so angry I went back to the guy and asked for a refund. There are shit tons of houses on the market just look for high ground. Get ready to gain some pounds the food down here is so fucking good.

Motaco, I am glad you showed up. Yeah, I am from the Seattle area. I didnt' think that NO would be the weed capital, but I was sure I would find some. I will not be living down town, I will be working very close to the Huey P Long Bridge, so I guess I am sort of in NO. Harahan I think. I plan on just living in a hotel for about a month or so until I find a place to live. Prices seem good there for that sort of thing. I have worked in NO before, I worked in Avondale and lived in Kenner. That was the Spring of 91 until Christmas, so I have a fairly good idea what it is like there, except I was not smoking at that time. So I am not too sure where I am going to live, but just close to town as I do not like to really spend a lot of time driving to work and back. BTW, I flew down for an interview on the 1st of July, I was really surprised as I didnt see any evidence of Katrina. They guys told me it was concentrated in the 9th ward or something. From TV it seemed the whole town was under water.
Thanks Guys and PM if you feel like it.

I moved from Seattle to NOLA several years ago and stayed 3 years. You are moving there in the absolute worst time of the year. August, my friend.....you gonna die. You know what they say in New Orleans; 'It's not the heat, it's the stupidity'. Really though the humidity in August is unreal. Also you can expect to see small cars floating down the street during some of the daily afternoon down pours (we're talking biblical proportions). Don't worry though, when the rain stops and the clouds clear the glorious sun will come out, feeling like it is about 3 miles from Earth, and immediately begin to STEAM all that water. Rest assured though, August will pass, the locals will return from their annual month long hiatus, sometime near Xmas the sticky heat/humidity will start to become tolerable.

For real though, I love NOLA, I miss many things about the place, sometime I might go back, but if so it will be in the first week of April, when everything is perfect. I can almost smell the Sweet Olive trees in bloom.

Check out Uptown, there is an old music store called Mushroom Records( or just The Mushroom??), right on Broadway not far from St. Charles Ave. This place is literally next to Tulane University and near Loyola. Good people used to own that place as a family business, they tend to hire cool people. That's not a hook-up, but it is a finger pointing at the moon.

"Hey, I bet you 20 bucks I can tell you where you got your shoes."

Be smart, be safe, don't be a tourist.
