it never really got into my everyday vocabulary so i didnt get a chance to have my own opinion on it. yeah i heard about it here and there, but it never really struck a nerve for me. I started after high school under unfortunate circumstances but it did change my life for the better though. I loved it. I still remember my first two times like it was yesterday.
the funniest thing was my highschool, on a regular school day had a scheduled cafeteria prestention prepared for us one day and didnt want to tell us what it was about. so basically it would go two grades at a time. the 9's and 10's together then the 11's and 12's.
we went down not knowing what it was a about. a police officer walks onto stage introduces himself and popped on a 15 minute slideshow . about what? you guessed it. GROW OPS and how to spot them. Infrared lighting seen above from choppers. unkept front lawns, the whole shebang. The guys in our grade (who, with the knowledge i have now, i'm going to assume probably smoked) laughed at each slide as it came to the screen.
I didnt think about it then but they were turning us into little snitches. I can't believe they would go out of our ways to get HIGHSCHOOL students who don't have their own heads on straight, much less their own educated opinion of many things in the world mostly because of lack of life experience and age, to get us to snitch on grow ops like that. Had I started smoking in highschool i woulld have had a stronger opinion on it and would have probably been more angry about it. But wow, now that i think about it what a bunch of fucking manipulators.
