When everyone knows you grow...

[hunt4genetics]

No one in my life knows that I grow.
I buy from our local dealer like once a month, mainly out of curiousity.
I like to see how my buds stack up with the local kind.
My smoking buddies are very generous, me too. I love to smoke them out on my goods. They sometimes ask, where I got it from, I tell them from my brother who is at college. We live in a major college town.
I have never shared my hobby with anyone,
not my brother, parents, smoking buddies, or girlfriend of 3+ years.
I just rather not allow people to have such a huge secret on me.
also, the less they know the better.

my question is...
if you grow and allow other to know that you do, how has their attitude changed?
do they hit you up like a weed ATM machine? have you been blackmailed by former friends? do you feel the need to have to buy their silence by supplying all their weed needs.
Our hobby at times brings us alot of paranoia.
I'm curious to see how you all cope.


peace,

i trusted a a few to many people...
lets say i came back one day and theres a trail of cab running up my driveway...
try to keep it to yourself as long as you can...
loose lips sink floating ships...
...and like you said "I just rather not allow people to have such a huge secret on me."
but i guess you could tell 1! and only 1 person ....eg your girlfriend of 3 years

yeah but that usually just depends on the strain you're smoking

 

[hunt4genetics]

I wish I could tell my girl friend, but she hates when I smoke,
she hates when I have a burger (she's a vegen.)
She thinks I just love going for long hikes in the woods to think.
I am totally devoted to her, the women in my life could be actual women,
instead of stinky hashy resinous ladies.

peace,

people do expect to get smoked up more because the grown weed is "free" to them... at least they see it not costing money, but it obviously costs a lot of time.... especialy cured right.

 

[Guest]

If your GF hates it when you smoke, shes the last person you want to tell that your growing. If you don't grow to sell (in which case the people you deal with may know you grow it) then I'd never tell another soul. Can any good come of it? I think not, unless you think the person you tell will go to jail for you then I wouldn't open my mouth.

 

[Guest]

Never tell her or ANYONE. God what a nightmare scenario *panic attack*.

 

[Guest]

Never tell anyone is great to live by,but in some cases just not practical.I only have two close friends besides my family that know about my grow,my former electrical partner that help me set up,and my former neighbor that takes all my soil and trim trash and buries it in his backyard.This has been going on for over five years,I feed them liberally not because I fear they "have something on me',but because they are my friends.I know that some of you won't understand what I'm about to say,and some will totally disagree,but your age and the age of your friends plays no small part in this.In my twenties,I never would have trusted anyone period, end of sentence.Now in my later forties,I've cemented some relationships where trust is just not as issue.Besides,who's bonding you out if the worst happens?

Heh, dude, I doubt she's the one for you. Coming from someone who watched a close friend suffer for years with a vegan girlfriend, there are better fish in the sea. You just gotta find yourself a meat-lovin' herb-relishing gal, and in a college town, that's not going to be too hard.

Better to have someone you click with all around than to save face for one scowling woman.

Haha, sounds like you had a bad case of this problem. I know I have.

 

[treble]

never tell anyone.. ever, someone will big note themselves, blab or get pissed off at you holding out on em and finger you to leo. If anyone other than you knows you grow you have a security hole you can't control.

The temptation to share the truth can be strong sometimes but think about the consequences of say... several months in county or worse. And if you are feeling the temptation to share the truth, think about the person who would know... and how much they will loose by blabing

some pandoras boxes you dont want to open no matter how tempting and benign it might seem from the outside.

how did it used to go when we were kids, zip it, lock it, throw away the key.. is our little secret, ok?

peace n calm to ya

Family is who knows of mine. My family and my in-laws are all potheads. I was reluctant to share at first, only to find out, hey, pop-in-law has some pretty fine nl#5 comin' up.

 

[cocktail frank]

i got a few peeps who know.
but they know the deal.
blab and die, simple as that.
besides, when you go from smoking ok bud to stellar bud, its hard not to know the deal.
and yes, i do take care of them when it comes to deals on weed.
one hand always washes the other, you know what i mean?

 

[sackoweed]

bro why would you fall for a vegan if yer a meat eater? What would you have in common? not food, not growing or smoking.. And prolly a lot of other shit... And you have started what is supposed to be a trusting relationship on a lie basically.. Now when and if she finds out OT OHHH!! trouble in veggie tale land.. Get rid of and, find a nice meat eater a girl that you can get all puffed out with and laff and have the munchies together and eat a coupla burgers and not worry she is thinking of killig you cos u ate a cow.. Just my 2 copper coins.. And just keep yer grow secret to yerself. I only trust family.. also even friends ripper each other off.. I dont care how long you known them.. It happens OR, should i say shit happens/... hope you do the right thing and keep it all to yerself.. I know its hard not to brag and say i grew this killer nug and dont have to buy that shwag crap mexi gas tank weed anymore but stick it out.. Its better in the long run to be able to grow.Instead of being locked up or on probie or some shit.. just my 2 cooper coins. peace...

I will keep it all to myself.
We live in a world where everyone blabs about their sex lives on their blogs.
Where teenage girls show of thier ass's on Myspace.
I'm from the school of keeping stuff to your self. I am a private person.
I love my brother, but I don't tell him, because he is a partying frat boy. He brags alot. He's flashy, he demands to be the center of attention. If I told him, I can already picture him, spilling the truth to his "brothers" during a drinking bindge at his frat house. But we do smoke together, he has kept that to himself for years.
I love my girlfriend, I respect her views on the consumption of animals. even though from time to time she gives me a hard time about my Micky D's habit, she knows I'll never change. I have started eating much healthier since she came in my life. I don't think i will ever admit my hobby to her.
is this really a big deal?

is their any other people out there that
have told any one else in their life?

I mean not including us.

peace,
h4g

reminds me of a quote i heard before " The Only Way 2 People can Keep A Secret Is If
One Of Them Is Dead "

wich translates to me as don't tell no one !

[Guest]

I only tell friends who have as much to lose as me...

 

[tngreen]

dude if you cant tell your gf of 3+ years that you grow and she doesnt like that you smoke, you have a serious problem! you would only be with someone that long if you can see yourself marrying her and when that happens, all privacy is gone. how will you keep your grow room secret when you live in the same house? you are diggin your own grave and if you value your hobby, get a different girl with similar values.
