Lurked for a while, as I am a psycho and have to get the feel of the room and calculate my responses before jumping in. Slowly threw some posts down, lulling people into a sense of trust. Faded in and out over the years.

I originally joined for the hallucinatory substances forum. I was looking for a source for research chemicals and figured that would be a good place to look. Found some 4-FA, had some wild nights and rough mornings. Stayed on for the stimulating conversation, trolling, and well placed memes. You magnificent bastards. Here we are eight long years later.

lurked the "seed and strain reviews" for years for info. Finally made an account and posted a ton in that section. Those guys have no sense of humor though. They never even say "penis".

I wandered in here and there was a thread making fun of "iloveskywalkerog"'s disgusting and utterly fucked up hand.

I knew immediately I found my place.

I first came here when the corporate world was driving me nuts, I fucking hated everything about it. After watching my huge nest egg all but disappear during the economic meltdown, I said fuck this. If there was no real security, wtf am I putting myself through this shit? I wanted to learn to grow weed, it was already such a huge part of my life. I couldn't believe this website, it was like Weed University! I lurked for about 18 months, and studied my ass off before I planted my first seed. So many great growers/mentors here then. I started small in Roseman's cfl dwc threads, then I got more and more daring. Modifying closets and the pantry with tiny grows while I worked at home on commission, straight sell or die. It was all consuming, I loved all the DIY projects, visits to home depot, etc.. I really got off on the secrecy and reclusive lifestyle, still do. I wasn't making enough to pay all the bills, so I quit the commission job, converted my home office into a grow room, and started busking. I'd wake up at 4am to be the first one at a downtown train stop to play music for 4 hours, then go home to work on the grow op. Anything to not take another corporate job. After another year or so, my op was finally making enough and I accumulated enough customers where I didn't have to do anything else. I started posting here to ask for help when things went wrong, then stuck around to discuss science and philosophy in what was my first social media experience. After those sections started to go downhill, I dipped my toe in TNT. Who would have thought stoners would be some of the most intelligent, hard working and creative people around? I haven't been the same since, and my nest egg grew back. Thanks for accepting me into your fucked up little family...

I came over here from some of the car forums, while in my spare time at my shop I liked helping people with their car problems, and then got bored of that, then it morphed into trying to help new growers find organics, and the beauty of composting, and then it morphed into something horrific..
unspeakable..
threads of stomping shit down drains and such.
but the allure is unmistakable
well... for people that aren't well in the head..

I started by googling "grow marijuana" in 09. Visited 1 or 2 other sites briefly, then chose RIU
as I found it to be more user friendly, I liked the layout.

It seemed like Doggies Nuts must have been the flavor of the day because 1 out of 3 post
was about Doggies Nuts. Shortly after joining a few members were busted for insider +rep trading.

Within the first week I made a post asking "how many plants can I grow in this closet?" in the newbie forum and added a pic, I believe potroast was the only one to answer. It took about a
week more to stumble into TNT. I do surf around to many of the other forums but rarely post
in them.

I feel most comfortable here and have come to view TNT as my cyber "Island of Misfit Toys"
