Thanks for sharing, nice read Dude. I dig your writing style. thought I'd add if you remember any stuff that's not in chronological order write it any way! this is real interesting

Thanks bro, chronological order is very hard to follow but ive tried my best. Ive had to change a few minor details and withhold other aspects of the story but what you are reading is the truth man

peace darth

Re: 10 years of degeneracy and counting. TL;DR

Good stuff for real. And you do seem like the real deal to me. Please continue bro!

 

[DarthFader1]

I was arrested, and suffered some minor police brutality as I initially resisted arrest because the arresting officer trying to make me get face down on the concrete petrol & oil stained ground of the forecourt. I was like “f*** mate just arrest me standing up” he wouldn’t have it. Within minutes there was a squadron of f****** cop cars on the forecourt it was quite the scene. I laughed on the inside when the original cop I outrun turned up and said “yep that’s him” Genius!

I spent the next 4 days on 24 hour lockdown in the prison cells of the police station. There were about 12 of us in there, total. I was suffering from horrific meth comedowns as the emotion of the past few years had finally caught up with me. It was the longest I had been sober in that time. Luckily there was some cool cats in there that helped me through the worst of it; we got one hour per day out of our cells in the common room where we could hang out. The police station prison guards were also pretty cool given the situation, they’d let us have 2 ciggies every day, I appreciated that in hindsight even though I haven’t smoked tobacco in years.

When I finally got in front of the judge to try and get bail, the police strongly opposed it. Luckily I do not live in the US or any muslim country so our justice system is very soft compared. Even though they tried their best to hold me on remand, the judge let me out again on bail with a strict warning, if I f***** up again I would be held in remand until my trial, which would be at the very least 8-9 months away. This time I listened as losing my freedom was everything to me, and I started the very difficult process of getting off hard drugs, recruiting a lawyer, finding a new place to live, cutting off all my old connections, and trying to adjust again to a life that isn’t going at a million miles per hour.. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t as hard as I was dreading. The human experience is quite an incredible thing I learnt during this time, as we can take almost anything that comes our way, and get through it.

To be continued

Thanks DarthFader, your recent life events are quite something and very entertaining, though I know they shouldnt be... You should write a book.. You must be in scandinavia or something because the police in the US or UK, it would have been a different story.

hey man, your stories are amazing as sad as they are...
what country were you in?

happy to hear that you were able to get off the hard stuff, hopefully this will help someone...somewhere.

deff made me realize that people are capable of changing, just really depends on the person.

Intense man ! Keep it coming

 

[Payaso]

Well I did read every post, and wonder how this relates to our favorite herb? Perhaps we will find out soon!

 

[Marcellas]

Can't wait for your next entry!! Thanks for living this great story, lol

 

[DarthFader1]

Ok guys a big thankyou to Payaso for restoring this thread, as i can understand the concerns he voiced to me.

Im going to skip the legal battle and a few other things that ensued for the better part of a few years and get to the end a bit faster than i had originally intended.

So i ended up getting put under house arrest for 12 months with ankle bracelet and parole officer up my a**, there's obviously a long legal story involved with this outcome which i can't go into here for obvious reasons. I will say however i was extremely lucky to escape a prison sentence but i had a very good (expensive) lawyer and a couple of legal aces up my sleeve so to speak. I might add i most definitely never ratted on anyone and i took my punishment like a man as i knew i deserved it. That's all i will say on this matter.

It was just before my sentencing i finished my first grow of the glorious herb. Yes, very risky move to grow whilst awaiting sentencing (i already knew what sentence i was getting) but ive always been a committed smoker of weed, and when i got off the hard stuff, weed was all i had to get me through. I didn't feel like drinking myself into an early grave so i can truly say smoking weed everyday got me through it all.

The first time i grew i knew i had discovered something i truly loved. I would obsess about my babies, i spent countless hours on this site as a guest soaking up all the information i could. There were so many great growers & breeders & human beings on here, and a few trolls also lol! I knew i had found a home on the interwebz, i don't know how many hundreds of hours ive spent just reading and learning from this site. Amongst all the great threads i have to say there is one that really stood out for me. Julian's massive indoor / outdoor grow thread inspired me and got me looking at things from a whole different perspective. I really must thank him for his contributions although some of that great info has now unfortunately been deleted.

My first grow i had been lent 2 humble 400w HPS lamps and i had a small budget for the rest of my gear and seeds i would purchase. The previous years legal battle and just general living had decimated my finances i had maybe $5k to my name at this point, which for me was basically the same as being broke. Luckily though, i had a great mentor who made sure i avoided any newb mistakes. He gave me a proven soil recipe and the first grow i did really well. My aim was just to have enough pot to get me through my one year sentence on the electronic bracelet. I met my aims and finished my sentence happily at home blazing up a storm everyday, playing internet poker around 40 hours per week as a full time job, and hiding both of these habits from my parole officer. I had to do something to make some money to pay the rent & bills over this time and playing internet poker provided me a humble yet satisfactory living. During this time i would multi table playing up to 14 tables at the same time, i became very very skilled at poker and still play (albeit recreationally to this day).

During that year i thought alot about the past, present and the future. I had made alot of mistakes, but also had learnt a few things about life and about myself. Without trying to be a preaching a****** i want to share a few of my thoughts here.

1. Seriously, stay the f*** away from hard drugs, if it doesn't grow on a tree i don't wana know. Even herb has alot of potential to be abused, moderation is the key. I know we all probably smoke a bit too much from time to time and having the occasional break is good. That being said though, god i just love smoking weed so much i find it very hard to moderate lol!

2. True friends are few and far between. Gone are most of my friends from those years of my life, these days i have a small circle of friends only a fraction of what i used to have, but they're all what you could call true mates. I do not miss the rest of them anyway.

3. Learn to stop and smell the f****** roses, man. I was always in such a hurry in life, trying to make money. Trust me, having lots of cash does NOT make you happy, that's just a fact of life. Now i really take time to enjoy the real things in life, such as nature, long walks, time with my partner & friends and spending more time with my family and my awesome pets who bring me so much happiness.

4. Exercise every day. I cannot say how important regular exercise has been to me in terms of getting me through hard drugs and getting my mind back to a good place again. One of my favorite things to do these days is to get baked and go for long runs, or bike rides through a park or forest. The feeling may not be as strong as drugs, but it's real and it lasts.

Nowadays i live a fairly quiet life, and that's ok with me. I love to grow, but more than that i love horticulture, particularly organics and have now turned to that as my chosen career. Im in the process of getting a couple of greenhouses up and running with a silent partner which i intend to cash crop over the coming years. Im not talking about weed here, im talking about actual fruit and vegetables. I feel very strongly against the use of chemicals and my goal is to grow everything completely organically and as healthy as possible. The last few decades, the use of pesticides and insecticides has literally raped our land and i feel very strongly about doing my part to correct the errors of our previous generations farming methods. I want to channel my passion for growing into a legitimate living and career based in horticulture. Im also currently studying these subjects at graduate level learning so much every week.

No thread would be complete without at least one picture so here are my latest BOG seedlings recently popped and doing well for themselves. In this lineup we have Blue Kush, Sweet & Sour cindy, BogBubble, Sour LSD, and one or two others. I was running a really nice sour strawberry kush clone all of last year and whilst i had great results with it, i felt it was time for a change this year. So let the hunt for new genetics begin

Thankyou everyone who took the time to read this story, i know it got a bit hardcore in places but i felt like i needed to be completely honest to let people know our human existence is a wonderful thing, and that no matter how far down the rabbit hole you may fall, you CAN comeback if you put your mind to it. Those days of hard drugs are now a distant memory to me as ive done my best to fill up my life these days with positivity. I strictly avoid negative people, there are so many of them out there, but there are also alot of great peeps too.

If anyone has any questions about these difficult and controversial subject matters, please post in this thread or feel free to PM me anytime and i would be happy to try and help anyone in anyway i can. In fact on 2nd thought lets have no more talk of meth because i don't want to push the boundaries anymore than i already have, this site is after all about weed!

Peace & much love for everyone who reads this
Darth

Well done man...

....I really enjoyed the read.....many of us have lived thru our own self-indulgences and have been our own worst enemies at times due to various excesses...

....and sadly many have fallen by the wayside into the mire of addiction, never to surface again into a world where joy is found in the most simple pleasures...

....Makes me feel like getting my own life story together finally.....it just might be interesting to some?

[DarthFader1]

Whoaaa Gypsy is in the building! Thankyou very much for stopping by Sir, that means alot to me and im very glad you enjoyed reading this!

Im definitely guilty of being my own worst enemy when it comes to addiction, even now i have to watch myself around alcohol as im a heavy binge drinker whenever i drink. I rarely drink top shelf now, more just beers and a bit of wine on occasions to limit the damage. Addiction never leaves one's affected by it, imo its moreso just a battle of wills to try and moderate yourself as you get older and learn from past experiences.

Im sure many, including myself, would love to hear your story if you decide to tell it one day. I'll put aside some and a few just in case.

thanks again for stopping by
peace & best wishes

[ColorGRo]

Congrats on getting off the dope. Grew up with family that were in BCs and cooked meth. saw a lot of bad shit happen. Violence, death and prison being the most. Tried it twice when I was a teen and never will. The second i start reading this my first thought was, this may help somebody that needs hrlp because not all people learn the same. Not all peeps are comfortable in the same situations.

 

[Payaso]

Thanks for chiming in here Gypsy! Your story would be the most amazing book, and you know you've got an editor and publisher already lined up to help you get it done...

And Darth! Thanks for finishing this great story. It IS ultimately uplifting and good to know that cannabis has saved another soul!

We would love to see more pictures of your BOG grow... he's the most amazing and friendly breeder of cannabis seeds you'll ever meet. And his beans are vigorous indeed!

 

[BrainSellz]

I was living that as i was reading it and kinda hoping for more...

 

[DarthFader1]

Hey thanks BrainSellz (nice name btw ) i take that as a compliment man. You never know how other people take one's writing so im glad to hear you enjoyed it.

And Payaso, thanks again for everything. Im a long time fan of BOGs genetics, and i cannot recommend them enough to anyone who wants some real fire, in seed form. For people like myself who don't have access to all these amazing clones circulating out there these days, this is the only way to go. I will be sure to post some more updates as this new round progresses; i may start a new thread, in the BOG section though, as that gives people easy access to information on his genetics, which i sure have appreciated having in the past.

peace
darth

 

[noyd666]

thanks darthfader1, exc read.

 

[Treetroit City]

Glad you and Payaso got this worked out. I've had my own share of coke and heroin fueled craziness and it is the good herb that keeps me sane these days.

Actually haven't read the whole story yet but after seeing your piss rant yesterday, I'm glad everyone got on the same page. Beautiful.

 

[DarthFader1]

Lol a piss rant! Thats a good one, Third Coast!

Yeah i threw my toys out of the cot when this thread got removed yesterday. Sometimes i react badly when things don't go my way, all of us are works in progress right?

Payaso and i very quickly worked it out, he is very accommodating and easy to deal with, and i have since apologised.

thanks for dropping in man
