Pot Grower Background Check

How about try to tell me what I'm missing and help instead of painting a picture of my character that you can't possibly tell through the internet? I know I'm just "some black guy with a trunk full of guns" but what's wrong with that? I'm not breaking any laws or hurting myself or planning to hurt anyone else. And comparing what I'm talking about doing to someone stealing "anhydrous ammonia", which I assume is a derivative for explosives, is a very offensive comparison. So because I'm black with guns I'm as dangerous as a guy making explosives? I hate to be the black guy that plays the race-card but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to throw that on the table dude. You're a dick sometimes dude. Seriously. And that's not cool. That is a bullshit comparison. And racist.

 

And I'm glad your arm doesn't work!!!

 

And how exactly am I deviating from this very reasonable approach? I even said "licenses and permits" so I'm talking about doing this in a state where it's legal to do so. Did I say I was gonna be stalking the woods looking to start trouble or even imply that? No. You just heard a black guy talking about guns and you filled in the blanks. Even if I was wrong about the ammonia you're still attaching lawlessness and criminality to things that are allowed by the law in states I plan to do them, and if I'm wrong about the reasons why you're attaching criminality to what I'm suggesting hypothetically then please enlighten me.


I spoke, hypothetically, about starting a legal grow in a state where it is legal to do so and defend that grow with legally purchased firearms in a manner that is in accordance with the laws of the state where I would be residing at the time. Other than a black guy with a gun being involved how do you attach a "city mentality" or criminality of any kind to anything I suggested?


Was it the shooting of the bears and deer? Would I be causing trouble for the townsfolk for doing that? Hunting? Another legal activity provided you have a proper license.

 

Well why even respond?

 

Everyone knock it off!. BP, I can tell you RR is not a racist. I think to some degree you both took things the wrong way from each other.


So on that note get back to business or I'll shut the thread down. :redbong:

 

RR might not be a full-bore David Duke racist but that comment sure was. I guess I went too far with the arm comment. I apologize.

 

How do you ignore certain users comments on your threads?

 

Wow! So since he's a moderator I can't ignore him? Ha! Ok so how do I proceed? I just have to tolerate it?

 

God I hate the race card. But tbh BP, if it was easy to start legit outfit I , and probably most here , would be doing it. I know in NY , it's a buck of bs and 10s of thousands just to apply.

 

Over the years RR has chimed in on my threads with statements that in my opinion had racist sentiment behind them. I tried not to take it that way and I brushed off comments and tried to find ways to address him in a way that wasn't playing the race-card but challenging the statements themselves and not casting any aspersions on his character, but this is getting ridiculous. Every thread I start he's there scolding and finger-wagging at me about statements that he took a disliking to and this needs to stop. I even gave him an opportunity to explain in this most recent exchange, in case I was just taking it the wrong way, and he responded "Blah, blah, blah". How is this not subtle harassment? And you mean to tell me that because he's a Moderator I just have to tolerate these statements and this sentiment?


I respect this forum and I would like to be respected the same as RR expects to be respected.

 

That kinda seems like fishing for more drama to me, but this thread has kinda seemed that way for a while now.


The last thread that involved the legal scene turned to drama really fast. If only we could hear the tones of peoples' text without jumping the gun. Let's not make this about race, culture, or whatever.


I myself am going to be heading a legal venture in the near future. I will be one of the first going into this, who will admit that I have a long ways to go before I take over the world! I do have a mentor who has managed greenhouses and is also a Ag-Sci Major, but even with this... the world of legal weed is uncertain. Many growers can't sell their products because retail establishments are less common than the growers and processors. I'd trust myself to handle the concentrates and edibles, but I wouldn't even hire myself as one of the main growers! I can grow the dank, but I know people who can manage multi-million dollar facilities. Why would I trust myself over someone who has already had all the greenhouse experience under their belt? They would make me money even if I paid them $100k+ a year, which I am willing to do...

 

What state disco?asssit:

 

Washington State is the current location, but I may relocate depending on what kind of legislation passes over the next year or so.

 

I'm pretty sure his point was learning to coexist with nature. The animals are there and were there long before us and have just as much right to exist as we do. I've lived in the country all my life and have no urge to shoot anything that comes within eyesight. Hell, I don't even own a gun. And don't care to. The more guns, the more likely someone gets seriously hurt or killed when it wasn't necessary.


If I felt seriously threatened I have access to firearms but would make it an absolute last resort. From my experience people who own several firearms and flaunt the broad selection usually have self esteem issues or are very paranoid.


I personally don't need a firearm within reach to feel secure!!!!

Res, how do you wrap the cross in burlap, chicken wire, gas AND set it on fire with 1 arm? :rofl6: Im not even guna ask how you get that thing up in the air either..:kidding::kidding:

 

You know, I'm raising a two teenagers 14 and 16 and they always have to have the last word. Never stopping to think how silly they sound and that they're just digging a deeper hole for themselves. They 'know' everything but don't 'understand' shit. Hopefully they'll outgrow it.

BP, now you digging and looking for something that's not there, and it's causing problems on the forum.:BangHead: Get back on the subject or I will shut the thread down. Last warning
