total secret or tell one friend

[ak-51]

Alternate shipping address: Use your family/friend(s) but say it's a gift or something. They do not have to know what you are getting.

I did something like this once. At some point during shipping the package got a hole poked in it. The delivery person made the person receiving the package open it in front of them to make sure there was no damage before accepting it. Obviously if it was me I would have been like "nope, looks good! see ya!". Of coarse the person receiving it had no reason not to open it, so they did. Seeds probably wouldn't be a problem but I would be really weary about ever doing this with anything in a box.

For every person you tell you are 50% caught, they will tell another person..that's another 50% caught..uh oh.

Guerilla growing is the exception. A great friend that you've known your whole life, who is as down for the herb as you is the only choice here. To help carry shit dig holes etc..But only 1, and you're both implicated so no need to flap gums.

Unless you want to spend time in a 6'x8' brick and steel room keep your mouth shut. Also, you never know who will rip you off or who they will tell after you tell them. $$$$, bad blood, spats. etc. can turn someone on you in a heartbeat.

keep it between u and the wife if shes not got a ring dont tell her she could be forced to go against u in court

No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No

Tell no-one - and no-one can endanger you.

A secret ain't a secret if someone else knows.

NO, people love to run their mouth about knowing a grower. All you are doing is adding one more factor that can possibly result in you being busted, consider that now the only chance of you getting busted is if police were to stumble upon your grow after a breaking and entry or something, why add somebody that may potentially snitch on you at some point even if it is to save their ass in an incident completely unrelated to your growing. TELL NOBODY

 

[sackoweed]

you should kick yourself in the balls for even thinking of telling another person, then punch yourself in the mouth along with another kick to the balls.. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TELL ANYBODY ELSE!!! if you do i will say within the year you will have another thread on here saying how you FUCKED up by tellin your friend.. And how he fucked you along with his other friends and jacked yer shit.. if you like your freedom keep quiet, If ya like a cockmeat sandwich tell yer homey.. Hope your not offended but i had to say it like it is.. peace n pufs..

You can still tell me.

 

[armedoldhippy]

there are 4 people that know i have ever grown. one is my brother, who helped me sometimes by being safe addy/driver. 2 of the others are older growers that have been of immense value to me. the 4th is my wife, who did NOT know for the first 13 years of our marriage (and whom assumes (incorrectly) that i am now, but cannot be sure LOL!) my wife, by the way, is the one i consider to be the "weakest link". if you would not trust them with your very freedom/life, the answer is "no", for that is what you would be doing...

Why not just use one of those "Mail Boxes Etc." services? Many don't even require you to have an account with them. You just show up with some form of (possibly fake) ID and they relinquish any packages that have turned up for you in return for profit (like $5).

How is $5 for a package and $20 for a cab (including tip) worth opening a new significant risk vector?

Most of the time I think about telling somebody about my op it's because I want to impress them and have them stroke my ego. I think about it for a while and then decide against it because my ego is already big enough and I'm already too arrogant as it is.

 

[midgethorse]

Yea nobody should know.
You should look into finding alternatives to going to grow shops and ordering seeds to yourself.
I can tell you from experience, dont tell him. My rule of thumb , everyone that knows, increases your chances of something bad by at least 10 percent.
Its not science just how I look at it.
Most raides involve a ci or a cri. "Informant"
Now maybe you trust your friend, but what about his friend? The drunk guy, with 3 dwi's?
Next time he gets yanked by the fuzz he can start talking about his buddies, buddies grow. Not that this would actually happen, this part of the game has an "accecptable paranoia" if you ask me.
If everything has been going cool with just your lady friend knowing, then dont change it up. Its for the best man, you and your friends safety.

AK-51 hit the nail on the head
"Most of the time I think about telling somebody about my op it's because I want to impress them and have them stroke my ego"


Just like any hobby, building a hot rod, a saltwater fish tank, stamp collecting. You want to show your shit off, but in this hobby, You NEED to re train yourself. Enjoy your hobby to yourself and those very close. No need to stroke the ego when you going to bed at night knowing your safe.

Don't do it.

I haven't had a problem in years but when I did run my mouth (over 10 years ago) I was robbed.

Again, don't do it....

 

[blazin]

This ain't elementary school... and this ain't show and tell. Keep it to yourself.

People are funny. They tend to get REALLY funny when shit hits the fan. Or, who knows, maybe he does errands for you, feels he isn't compensated w/ enough green and goes off the wall bat shit. Next thing you know he's bitching about this to his friend and without consciously recognizing it (because he's so pissed from being "used") exposes you and your op...

Yeah That!!!
Had friend help with grow errands, then when had a little argument, it calls back, that he wants free weed periodically or else.

enuff said, rule is tell no one....and work harder instead of dealing with the aggravation

Hope u make the wise choice and go with less people the merrier,

 

[RudolfTheRed]

WHAT OF TELL NO ONE DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND!

TELL NO ONE!

TELL NO ONE!

TELL NO ONE!

Unless you like going to jail and living in a 10x10 with someone other than your wife keep it a secret. Letting people into the circle is how you get crossed out and locked up because they flip on you faster than you can blink an eye. Like 9 out of 10 people take the bait when cops offer a deal. You really trust anyone that much?

I had to shut down a very well going op because my partner/best friend let the cat out of the bag. One person grows the plants, One person knows the plants.
