Well, this is a true story from two years back and it goes like this: It was the spring, ah yes spring that perfect time of year when all the plants are thriving on the new warm weather and wonderful sun. This type of weather inspires many people to go out to thier gardens and toil out their sweat to keep wonderful diverse plant species alive and thriving. The sun and rain seem to becon "GROW"...and so I did. I had one tiny little grow under my belt (a small nugg plant under a cedar tree out in the woods) and that year had ambitions for an even larger one (8! plants). Anyway long poetic story short, I got the seeds got em growing, put them in 8 cups, in one plant tray and... proceeded to cross the road. The selected area for the grow was a field seperated from my house by two pine groves along each side of the road. In my naieve stupidity (sort of) I put the tray in the center of the field. Now, before you go "this guy is totally off his rocker", concider that this was in the early pary of MAY, I did not expect cops to come flying over looking for plants before they could even be more that 6 inches tall! Anyway so It was a saturday and I was home, and I heard the noise I ALWAYS dread, the chopper, they were being real keen, hovering close, scouting out shrubs, fields everything, and THEY SPOTTED THE TRAY AND PROCCEDED TO LAND! They landed right in the field across the road, of course I couldn't see them because of flora blockage. At this point my heart was pounding HARD and to make things worse, my mom was home and wondering what the fuck was up! After a tense four minutes, the chopper lifted off and proceeded to circle my house! They kept coming in low and staring and then flying over really really fast, then searching around, then coning back. Now at this point my mom is like WTF and asking me all kinda questions while at the same moment my mind is screaming "DITCH THE EVIDENCE!!!" I had to brush off my mom and get all my shit, pot, pipes, dirt, containers, ASHES, SEEDS, STEMS, roaches, more growing stuff NICE GLASS BONG, out of my house and destroyed, AS A COP CHOPPER HOVERS OVERHEAD WATCHING US!!! I came up with crazy ways of ditching that shit, my mind was on overdirave and its all a blur at that point now. Anyway the chopper SEEMED to fly over for hours and hours, how long it was I have no idea, but I have NEVER been so scared in my life! After I had ditched EVERYTHING (soo hard) the chopper left... and that was that... I was afraind for weeks and months after that that out house would be raided in the middle of the night and my life torn apart, it was real torture. My mom still doesn't know what was up that day. I avoided the place for about two months, fearing survailence, but there was never any (the field now harbors 8 HIDDEN plants ). Anyway this little experience DEFINATLY taught me a life lesson, not only about growing, but also, CHOPPERS ARE SCARY SHIT, THEY FREAK ME OUT NOW, I HATE THEM, man its crazy one hell of a trip, and I was totally sober the whole time. This is a true story, let it be a lesson.
damn man how old were you, growing in an abandoned field next to your parents house. That is truley some crazy shit that you yourself were able to cause a helicopter to circle above.
This happened at the end of 10th grade, so I was 16. My only mistake was having the shit in trays and pots, I know better now!!!
