If you get that paranoid about your plants when you're sober, then you need to just relax. I think the major thing is just realizing that if you're going to get caught, you're going to get caught. You have to be careful, but at a certain point things are just out of your hands. Just try to relax and enjoy what you're doing.

We're basically engaged in civil disobedience. Hell, by pure statistics some of us are going to get caught. Part of being a grower is being able to accept that fact and enjoy the good times regardless.

I can't smoke weed when I'm near my plants (watering, feeding, anything) because I get too paranoid and it totally ruins the experience. If it were legal I'd toke and grow... but I can't handle the paranoia when I'm high. All I can think about is how a felony would ruin my career by possibly getting me kicked out of law school... and how my wife would leave my ass. Growing is supposed to be enjoyable, and I can't enjoy it when I'm paranoid. I grow away from my home... because if I grew in my yard or something I'd never be able to toke!!
