ya you should ask her it is never cool to grow under someones nose. if somethinghappens and you get discovered by the police she gets in trouble also.
never give information that can identify you. that could cause a real problem. but ya get politicaly active. oh ya i would not recomend telling your cousin that you are growing he may be a relative but he is also law enforment you might not like his responce.

but you little critters look awsome keep up your good work and keep posting those pics.
