OMG BUST! PLEASE READ, ADVICE PLEASE!!!!

[Flameon]

I want to thank EVERYONE who has replied, even the people who now think I'm a horrible person and hated on me

Hi bijnas

I just wanted to say for the record (again) that no one is 'hating' on you, and we all sincerely hope you both get off.

But please consider, it doesn't change the fact that you made some unwise choices, and that's something you need to recognise and acknowledge if you going to avoid making them (and landing yourself in the s**t) in the future.

The situation is, you and I both grow, we know its illegal, and we know it could get us in trouble, but we choose to take that risk knowing the consequences if we're caught. And since neither of us wants to get caught, only we can decide what risks are worth taking, and which are reckless.

For example, if I was growing my plants in a window box and got reported to the police by a neighbor, do I put ALL the blame on my neighbour for 'grassing me up', or should I accept that perhaps it would have been wiser of me to have kept them out of sight?

it's not as if I was growing in my parents house or something, so I see it as a non-issue.

I can't agree, it is an issue. I understand (and sympathise) with your point about the cost of buying property where you live, but you need to remember that if you decide to risk growing in an apartment you don't own, you're increasing the chances that you could get caught.

Likewise, if you risk telling someone else about your grow - you're increasing the chances of your getting caught.

Leaving someone else to look after your plants while your away. . increasing your chances of getting caught.

I never said anyone could be in my apartment besides the person whom I left the keys with. Unfortunately, she wasn't to be trusted either as she gave the keys to the girl who got arrested.

Leaving someone who isn't reliable with the keys to your apartment . . increasing the chances of getting caught.
Do you see the point?
We're all taking risks, but the more we choose to take, the more likely it is that somethings going to go wrong, and as we're the ones making the decisions we have to be prepared to accept some of the blame.

I know it's easy to be wise after the event, but really you should have considered the number of risks you were taking and be big enough to admit some responsibility.

But, reading things like:

I know the plants were mine, I know I am the one who initiated the grow, BUT I am not the one responsible for the bust.

I think it is fair to say the bust was completely their fault.

Does not give me any confidence that your going to learn from this.

I'm honestly glad to hear it looks like neither one of you is going to draw down too much flak for this, but do yourself a favour, breathe a sigh of relief at having 'dodged a bullet', and next time give some more thought to your actions. Hopefully that way, you won't get yourself (or anyone else) caught.

Keep toking and good luck.
