smoker of fine cognac for the mind

Hi,
I am a longtime member of norml and look foward to each issue. About this time last year I sent in some photos of some tasty indoor bud I had grown in my closet. Unfortunatly not long after this one of my "mates" decided that because he was too lazy to put in the effort for himself, that he would kick in my garage door in the wee hours and help himself to 16 mature skunk plants that were only days away from harvest.

I was naturally heartbroken as they were my babies and by far the biggest, healthiest plants I've ever grown. (one of them was a mother that had been under lights for 4 yrs and this was its first flowering. it stood over 7 foot and had hundreds of heads.) I was distraught and at a loose end over what to do. I didnt know which one of my "friends" were responsible for this outrage but knew I couldn't trust anyone. I had broken the sacred law :NEVER TELL ANYONE!!!!! and it bit me in the ass hard.

I was stupid enough to think that because I was a generous person and always took care of my "friends" when it came to harvest that none of them would do this. I was wrong. I felt sick to my stomach that someone close to me would do this and stopped socializing with my circle of cohorts. This made it worse. I started getting abusive txt msgs saying that I had already harvested and was being a holdout. Sitting somewhere with mountains of freshly dried buds and not sharing. What a crock! I couldn't even get a smoke for myself as I had no contacts anymore. I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do would be to move and start again.

I put my stuff in storage and my girlfriend and I hit the road looking for a new town. We travelled nz for 4 months and had a great time exploring all the choice places our beautiful country has to offer. Living in a tent and drinking wine on the beach. We finally settled down again and are slowly starting to rebuild our lives. We had to leave our families, jobs, everything we knew behind because of the selfish greed of one individual.

I am not a violent person but the anger I feel when I think about what happened to us makes me want to kill whoever did this and they better pray that I don't find out who did it. I have been a smoker for most of my life and believe that marijuana is a wonderful plant that enriches many lives. It makes a soothing balm for the soul and unlocks creativity in many.

Unfortunatly because of the state of the law it attracts people who are involved for the wrong reasons. Money. I dont grow for profit. I grow for personal use and to share with like minded people who love life. The criminal underbelly in this country have destroyed what could be a wonderful thing. It makes me sad that I cant do what I love (growing pot) without being fearful of all the fuckwits ripping me off.

If you are out walking and come accross someones plants leave them there! It may seem silly but just stop to think about all the dedication and hard work that goes into getting a plant from germination to harvest and how you would feel if they were yours. Karma will fuck you up hard if you do bad shit and there is no lower form of life than a ripper. Make no mistake. If I catch you you will die and it wont be quick. Instead get your own seeds and enjoy the journey for yourself.

There is nothing more rewarding than smoking your own after watching it grow from a tiny seedling into an enormous sticky beast. I am under no illusions and know that I am stupid for trusting people. Believe me I have learned my lesson. The sad thing is I liked to think I could. Many people have suffered. And Im sure there are people who are sorry to see me and my lady leave the town where this happened. My home was always a safe haven where people could come and relax in a safe environment. there was always a bud around for visitors and now I don't let anyone visit at all.

My pot was the best you could get and now they will just have to settle for shitty overpriced undersized tinnies from the gangpad. Oh well. I will be enjoying next harvest by myself and a big FUCK YOU to all those involved in stealing from the professor. No matter how long you try you will never get another bud as good as you used to. I hope you die of veneral diseases. Too all my real friends Im sorry I couldnt say goodbye and I miss you.

Hey mate, welcome to the NORML forums. That's a bit of a painful story, but I'm glad that your shit is sorted now...pity it had to come to that but sometimes things just need a shake out.

Just wanted to let you know that I edited your post so that its easier to read. I didn't add/change/delete any words, I just broke what you wrote into paragraphs as it was very hard to read all in one big chunk.

Sit back, relax, and make yourself at home in the NORML forums. Hope to be sharing some ideas and good vibes with you in times to come.

Cheers
