How much do you worry about your security?

[space cowgirl]

Do you think about it often?


For me, I've been starting to think every day about what it would be like to get busted, and to have everything I love taken away from me. It's enough to make me seriously consider stopping growing, as my enjoyment (on my second grow) is dampened by worry.

well i dont worry much because it dont help much...i grow because i want to...i know full well the consequences for my actions...im going to do what inspires me and i want to do even if it cost me my freedom because as soon as i dont im not free anymore anyway

During the "pre-season like around feb march I do'nt t DWELL on it But as the new season draws nearer I start to become more drawn into my self , with only one objective & that is to make through another growing season safe & sound with enough bud to keep me going thru the year.
Rember to KISS (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID) TELL NO ONE & SHOW NO ONE

i think every one gets a little worried ,especially when ur standing in ur garden surrounded by buds and the sound of choppers flying past low
but thats just part of the fun of growing

But that feeling soon goes , as billy bob said "TELL NO ONE & SHOW NO ONE"

stay safe

I try not to be stupid.

Seems to me that stupid people run into the police on a regurlar basis - and that pisses the police off, kinda.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Don't be stupid.

Thanks everyone! Just venting I guess. It sucks so hard that our growing has to be done in secret.

Right, the focus must be on safety.

I'm ultra-paranoid. Really I don't get that concerned about the legal consequences. I mean, I'd lose my equipment, I'd spend a night in jail, I'd spend a bunch of money on a lawyer and most likely get probation. I'm more worried about my job...they see it in the paper, I get fired, can't find a new job, family starves to death and I go on a shooting spree

shooting sprees rarely result in good karma so i must recommend you don't go on one. however if you do decide to go on a shooting spree make it count. don't just shoot up a school or a starbucks, take out an anti-weed politician. and email a long letter to the press about how your doing this to strike a blow for all the stoner's whose freedom is being suppressed by the religious extremist who are keeping weed illegal.

How about you don't, and just start growing again. Balls to the wall.

I do worry about security because I have a lot to lose, but I cannot justify ending what I love because of laws based on someone else's experiences...not my own. Just be cool, don't tell anyone you don't trust with your life... and I really mean trust with your life. 2 adults outside my family are the only ones that know about MJ and Me, and I have absolutely no question about their "loyalty" to friendship... in fact, I grow their plants.

Sucks not to be able to trust, really sucks. In our case FREEDOM must involve deception on our part, and THAT sucks.

I turned a one bedroom apartment into a grow where I shared walls on two sides. Right before harvest they got a security guard who asked me 'who was smoking weed' in my complex. They also installed literally 12 cameras in a SMALL complex, including one 5 ft. from the bedroom/grow-room window. I was scared shitless, but, I made it work and then got myself somewhere safe. Try to see yourself and your situation from the eyes of the average citizen. How good is your front? In Cali, as long as you're not out there in the public eye, demanding attention, you'll be fine. Tell people you're growing, and you'll get ripped though, you'd be surprised how homegrown success breeds resentment from the lazy masses.

Shit man those rules apply coast to coast! Well done on pulling it off man, I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Also, a lot of really really paranoid folks tend to be personal growers, small timing it for shits and giggles. No offense to anyone, I think this is a beautiful thing - no matter what your ultimate motivation is. When we tell you "don't worry" it's not "be careless" it's just the cops got bigger fish to fry....if you give em a chance they'll bag you and your 150W lamp too....but they aren't looking for YOU.

I'm more worried about poachers, I know folks who do this..yet they have no clue I do too. That alone is enough to keep me quiet.. Why would I have to know what you do, when I barely know you? These are the same guys that need firearms to protect their grows, and deal with bi monthly break-ins waiting on someone to steal their crop the day before they start trimming..

Stay safe..

Nope, it's based on my love for the movie American Astronaut.

Holy crap! I can't imagine.

Front is fine, only a few trusted people know. I guess it's more of a concern over electrical fires or burglary.
