Shit, man. I live in a legal state, and I still don't like posting pics. You never know who's who, or when someone will get a hair up their ass about something. Don't know who has deep computer skills, and can dox you, or get you swatted, or any other number of fuckeries that happen. I still carry a hefty dose of that old paranoia around day to day, and it'll probably never fully go away. And I'm nobody, really. I've never done mass scale grows, or moved REAL weight like a lot of people here have. My little 10# harvests back then were nothing compared to the real soldiers, so I can only imagine the paranoia those dudes still live with. I'm friends with more than a couple of those guys, but still can't fully relate.Totally agree on this, too many stories will for ever stay in the shadows because it was illegal when many things were set in motion so many people don't want to reveal where their money really comes from. I still live in a country where it's 100% illegal to smoke or grow cannabis, even the flowers sold in CBD shops are supposed to be made into drinks to consume, what a joke. I've grown most of my adult life and never told to anyone except my family the real size of my grows, here I give some infos and share some pics but never the full picture.
But I recognize it, acknowledge it, and respect it. Perspective matters.
