No worries, wasn't trying to start any arguments. I'm just a bit too observant of things for my own good, and it makes me question the hell out of everything.

Anyways, as for trying to meet other growers... I dont know of any in my area, but when I lived on Oahu some people seemed more relaxed to talk about it. When I did my growing, several people knew about it, one of which was growing too. We'd help each other out and talk about growing all the time... he'd tell me about others he knew that grew, a friend's dad was a cop that was growing too lol. I'd hear about stories of cops finding people's grows, taking the plants, and running off with them.

If I grow again where I live now, it's gonna be difficult to keep my mouth shut, I already know of one friend that will find out about it... and she's tried growing some too, she even offered to let me help set up some stuff in her place so she could grow better.

Might be best to just say I've got a connection in Hawaii that I get the bud from. It's just too much work to risk it all. I'm not ready to fight to the death yet...
