i had a few plants to trim, so i went to the grocery store and picked up some food, smokes and beer to hold me over while i trimmed. i also picked up a few copies of the local paper to place on the ground to catch the trim litter.
so i get back, lay down the papers, and start trimming. a good 10 hours later, my trimming is done for the day. i put down the shears, cooked myself a little meal, had a smoke and a beer, and went inside to clean up the mess.
i'm shoving all the newspaper and leaf litter into the garbage bag when i notice a picture of a mediocre grow room on the front page of the newspaper. turns out that the local police in my town (who know i grow) had busted about a dozen grow houses in the area that belonged to the mob, in coordination with the DEA, FBI, homeland security, and a whole bunch of other federal and state agencies.
and i had more pounds, cash, and plants on my property than any of those mobsters did.
kinda freaks me out to know that i have been undercutting the mob, but they don't seem to care about me, nor do the local coppers. there are lots of hidden risks in our business.
