The point is; we're doing something illegal anyway. Or illegal by the United States' [ and many other countries' ] standards. Whether he recieved his parents' permission or not doesn't change that fact. True, it'd be best they were aware of it, and I'm not trying to encourage him --- I'm just telling him he can do it... if he's willing to take the risk [ however stupid ] it is. Personally I see no difference between having a couple ounces of weed at a time [ in my case, don't know about his ] and having, say, a Lowryder sized plant in a low maintenance PC sized grow. You're still going to have a hell of a fucking time getting rid of your weed in either instance if LEO's busting at the door.
