I did it for a long time and my personal opinoin is

"If you can't grow it,dry it and smoke it...................FUGGIT!!!!!!!!"

Houses like this are very common in this area. Some houses are worth up to $1,000,000. but no one lives in them....only the plants.
It is big business. It trades across the border pound for pound with cocaine. Real bad stuff! Biker gangs and oriental triads run most of them.
Sells for the price of gold in small amounts.

$2,000. per pound
$200 an oz
$75 for 1/4 oz

In large volumes a person can easily make $1,000,000 per year.

I'd rather spend my money on car parts.

.....and I never inhale.

Well, make my money the legit way too...

agree with you 100%

you reminded me of the grow op up here 2 years ago, the had thousands of plants growing in the old Molson'* brewery

(biggest bust in Canadian history if i remember correctly)

that would be a killer bonne storage area...you could own like 25 cars and everyday your neighbors see you drive out of your garage with a different car...wondering how you fit them all in there....that would be great....

Yeah meth is pretty crazy but It'* more of an older person thing. At least in Philly. A friend of mine'* dad does it and I happen to know of a couple older guys that do it too.
The weed market is probably so huge since it'* more of a gateway drug. It'* pretty common if you smoke weed from 14 up in the places I've been in. Coke came in a little later maybe 18 or so. (with other drugs here and there along the way) One day I found out that 6 or so of my friends did coke. I was like WTF?? Now thats somewhat common around some groups of people I hang out with.
It'* a shame really. I however stick to drinking. To me it seems like a choice. Either I keep my life together (no drugs) and finish my B.*. in mechanical engineering or mess my life up now, spend all my $ on drugs, and make it 30x harder for myself to get where I want to be when I get older.
I don't really mind being around drugs but If a GOOD friend of mine is starting to head down the wrong path I'll sure as hell tell them whats up.

One more shot and i'll get off the jack, too.

You've got it right. Keep your eye on the ball. It was great to meet you and Rob and see how gonzo you guys are about about what you do, and are talented to boot. I picked up on your post about shaving the handles and engineering that popper. That was distinctively impressive stuff.

I did want to throw a flag up to all about the approaching methampetamine plague. In one use, the neurotransmitter dopamine is spiked so high, the next use is a forgone conclusion. Close to 80% of all the prisoners in Oregon prisons, for all criminal activities, are also meth addicts. Staggering. Life is about open doors of opportunities before us. Use a drug, and many, if not all, of those doors close.

Anyway, I owe you a PM re: your advice on Maaco in the NE.
