This is how I feel too. I never expected seeds when I found out OG was back. I used to frequent this place for info and help to not make stupid mistakes, and learn from others experience. It was a sad day when OG was gone. But you’re so right @OleReynard about how this generation is just too open about blatantly asking for freebies.
I’m not as old as a lot of you guys, but this is exactly how I felt back in the mid 90s when I started growing. I’ve had friends and mentors get busted and it made me give up for quite a long time. One buddy was even deported back to France. I was working in a head shop when project pipe dream came down. Had detectives just pushing their way past me with no warrant to see what was going on in the back room. My buddy was back there puffing on some frosty White widow. The cop came out with the tiny nug left in the jar and we both told him it was wizard smoke. (From the back of the high times magazine) they said they were gonna test it, but we never heard anything back. Talk about anxiety. Somehow that head shop is still around today.
I got busted with a bag. Thankfully I’m a privileged white guy. Hah. Anyone remember color code? I’ve definitely lived thru some shit. Thanks for acknowledging my activeness @Chronickyle . One day I’ll feel safe enough to have my own thread.
