nice big old DEA and BoCo bust in Nedtown

[ttystikk]

old mountain folk like to bitch a lot. well, I guess I'll wear that.

The bitching comes from being invested in the community. I participate in the community, on town boards, the task force writing mmj and recreational town code. I have good relations with most of the BOT and town administration, local PO and Fire, some of the Boulder Sheriffs up here.

When the town administrator tells me face to face whats coming down the line with pot growers and town. When I saw with my own eyes, the map of known grows in Ned, the map complied by town and handed over to the feds. When my kids play soccer with gilpin sheriffs and I have a chance to chat…… I pass the info on….

DonJuan,

You don't like it, don't think it's of value……. ignore it. but you got gilpin and the peak to peak sussed. Rock it. make them moves, playa.

Never fails- the new kids on the block always talk shit about the old timers, not thinking/knowing what's come before.

The fact- FACT- that you've seen the real weedmap of what's going to be FEDerland when/if the next administration decides to crack down tells me that you know what you're talking about- and that all the 'playas come lately' are a lot closer to the edge of the cliff than they think.

It also tells me that you've made an investment in your community, and that only happens over time. Respect.

growing ganja WAS a respectable way of making your way through this world. Now, I'd rather hang out with the douchiest realtor before hanging with a pot industry PROFESSIONAL.

waaaaaaaaah, waaaaaaah...this thread is fear mongering at its finest...^same dude that told me to expect knock and talk for running 8kw, been almost 2 years, and im still waiting for that knock muir...sheriff has been to all my neighbors houses who had NO paperwork and over 100 plants and didnt give a shit and left in 5 minutes..hes pulled me over smoking with the car smogged, with jars on the seat and didnt look at it twice, even gave me a ride home once...the sheriffs up here are the shit...my realtor runs over 100 plants without a rec...i can tell you story upon story like this, to counter act your fear mongering...ive heard from the horses mouth, after the rec law passes that cops arent even following up on complaints or tips of growing anymore, they figure everyone is growing, because everyone is...this shits LEGAL now muir...there is a neighborhood in gilpin where 15 of the 17 houses grow and the sheriff goes by all the time , knows everyone grows and knows them by name...he could care less, ive heard this from a 60 year old woman that is part of this neighborhood and who bakes the sheriff cakes...i run 12 plants under 12kw and am legit under recreational laws...you must be talking about a different gilpin muir, either that or just fear mongering everyone , so they stay out of your town just like you did to me when i moved here

and "half of gilpin is from florida"..... your god damb right, and thats the reason why there is dank herb in gilpin, best growers ive seen in colorado are from the south (florida, texas ect) and come up here and kill it, sorry if thats hard to swallow, maybe step up your game instead of crying about it like someone pissed in your wheaties...us southerners been growing for decades with fear of prosecution, and 15 year MMS..we didnt jump on the bandwagon when it became legal like most locals...do you think a bust of some sloppy fucks is gonna scare us away? think again, we play smarter and adapt

here is a grow that is legal under rec laws for the 3 people living there, with no paperwork, 9 plants under 9kw, and grown by one of them sketchy floridians you hear so much shit about

legal growing ; adapt or perish

"Step your game up instead of crying" words for everyone to live by see a lot of crying on these forums all over. Get it how ya live Don, you know I support.

Tell me about it. As one, I'm pretty disgusted by what they're doing to our industry.

Without a doubt we never saw anybody from Florida/etc. coming here to swing their balls until it got easy..'er....I mean legal. I can guarantee you that when the High Country Drug Task force was active en masse' and kickin in doors in the 80's and 90's all over the mountains it was no picnic here in CO either....

Good point. And this is at the heart of what I hear from other growers/personal experience.
Which then in turn adds to the NIMBY attitude of some areas.

At the same time, the more easy pickings around, the easier it is for the other fruits to not be eaten.

I mean, the DTF hasn't been to my house in quite some time. I think others are keeping them busy.

No offense to the old mountain folk. It is just a trait I've picked up on living here my whole life. It's really just older people in general have more to bitch about.
It sucks when your town gets overrun, but there are plenty of good places still in CO, easier for me to move around than you I'm sure.

First/Last/Security....yup...definitely easier to relocate in that situation...far easier than some of us old folks could ever pull it off with the chains we've made...but ultimately very costly for the >luxury< of being able to move when you please (aka, never owning anything/paying someone else's mortgage.) Different strokes, different folks...

Gotta love a town so dead there's nothing to overrun. You know the place. No worries here. The less goin on, the better.

The Metropolis is daunting.
I escaped.

Well a lot depends on cost of ownership.
Unless you own it outright, you're paying 'rent' too. Rent on 'money' to 'own'. Soon that 400K home become a million.
Especially those that got speculative.
If you're willing/can to sell at market, then the liquidity is still there...Just a lot of 'hopeful' sellers out there, still want bubble prices.

I think wifi and kids are the big hurdles to mobility.
Otherwise it is just a question of 'how bad you want it?'

Cities have convenience. Americans fear nothing more than inconvenience.

 

[sky high]

Yeah...we're all "renting". It's just that when you "rent" via a mortgage you build equity and >eventually< end up with something to show for your outlay of cash. When you merely rent and can't swing/qualify for the mortgage, you are building someone else's equity and will have nothing to show for the same outlay of cash.

Fortunately, no spec here....just wise investments at the right time that are STILL worth 4X what I have invested....even at the "bottom" (and after 30 years....I now >own< 2 of the 3 houses I >was< "renting").

So yes...yer right....the 400K is now worth about 1 mil...just like ya said! Funny how that works.

So you bugged out of Pleasant Valley? LOL.

Not me. I'm gonna die there....and I already have the spot picked where my ashes are gonna go. (hopefully not too soon..but hey...whatever)

I go to my MMA gym for a work out. But I come to thcfarmer.com if I want a good fight and insults. These guys on this site must be some bad ass Men cause they sure talk a lot of shit. Almost everyone talks shit, but not you SeaMaid. But what would be the point of a chat room if we all complimented each other. that would be boring. We dont talk down and argue,,, NO no, we go for the throat, most, in Colo know who am cause of my court bullshit, but I could care less about the insults . Im talking to worlds best growers but of what importance does anyone serve me on this site, we should ignore insults or laugh em off.

SeaMaid Ive heard comments that ya actually know some of these folks. real question!
Have these guys been in the same room together, if so, do they interact well together?

I'll pay to feed em tequila , no smoke for em, and we'll sell tickets for the the Farmer Fight event so we can watch em beat the shit out of each other if they like to fight in person. I envision a peaceful crowd if we let em have herbs... I know these same race cats would be best friends in the joint/jail.

How boring no insults toward me,,, just kiddN guys. liteN up.... serious note;;;

I25 by Longmont - sobriety and search check point was setting up 1/2 hour ago, be careful mobil cop unit

 

[Seamaiden]

Lino, the cats from Colorado whom I've met and hung with were great people. We definitely do not all agree on a whole bunch of stuff, but the ones I've met are also grown-up enough to understand that's how life is.

I can Insult you if you like. I'm usually stationed in the Debates & Argument Department, though. Sometimes I cover Insult Department and customer service because I'm well-trained in all three.
(We are technically a clinic, but we have departments within the clinic. Arguments, insults, cuddling, sunshine-blown-up-ass, etc.)

Where do you train? I train at Grudge! Love that shit....

Just calling muir out for running his mouth at don juan.....I can tell you countless stories of why this guy is a douche but it would bring real world people and names into the mix. Take 98% of what he says about anything and chalk it up to an old man running his mouth. That's all it is and everyone around ned knows it and he does too.

Farmers are aggressive towards me and very leary of me at the same time. I sold a soil mix recipe contracts to soil vendors. I had access to vendors latest greatest test soil mixes and I was paying $200 plus free test soils. Not one farmer on this site warmed up to me in PM messages. All the Farmers answered the PMs and all but 2 people we're Not rude but nobody showed any interest in money or free test soil from big name brands, I'm still perplexed by that behavior.
where do I train? I walk on many mats,
I train with my students. I used to certified Colo Bail & Bond Enforcement in hand to hand, arrest procedures, investigations and collateral recovery, But big named people (Dog) didnt like my style. My two children have fought since they were born and put into competition at 4 yrs old, wrestling, freestyle greco, sambo, MMA. We trained at my club , the Northglenn Scorpions Wrestling Club. I was elected president of the largest wrestling league this side of the Mississippi , Metro Wrestling League so if you hit mat before HS ya might know of me. I co-Author the proposal to Olympic Committee that will bring back wrestling to Olympics. My gyms are known for 2 things;my students stayed with me for usually 15 years and we're known for wgt cutting with twist. If a 50lb 8yo cut 5 lbs , Both Parents had to maintain wgt all season and drop 5 lbs 1 day before their child made wgt.... Parent who failed wgt cuts were not allowed at events. Aggressive, abusive parents were invited to Ol Timers tournaments as an option to stay on my team. MMA - My sons work and fight at Zingano's gym Broomfeild (Cat Zingano). many of my other students that I have mentored have moved on to other MMA and boxing gyms , And respect out to Grudge Gym,,..
