I don’t think I mentioned this before, and this I feel bad about but desperation makes you do this shit sometimes..
So my best stumble upon find was back many years ago, I was a young adult maybe 18, trying to get my life together and off heroin. I was having a really shitty day as I was using cannabis to deal with the withdrawals at the time, and was completely out no chance of getting more soon.
My dad said, “hey man let’s go for a walk to cool down a bit.” Since my dad rarely did stuff like this I accepted to spend time with my pops and we headed off into the deep woods surrounding our house.
We’re walking along and I’m getting pissed from lack of weed combined with overgrown brush, and... would you look at that! My entire trail has been flooded over. We start walking off the path into the woods and as I’m cussing pushing through the brush my dad tells me to stop.
I stop and he says “what’s that right in from of your nose.” Soon as he says that I realize I’m standing in the middle of guerrilla grow patch.
My mood instantly flipped 180, I went from having no weed all pissy about it, to standing in more weed than I’d ever seen.
To make it all that much more perfect, this bud was ready to harvest that day!!
Like I said, I’m not exactly proud of this but me and my dad filled every pocket we had to the brim with fresh nugget. My front pocket on my hoodie probably had a half pound alone.
About halfway through the picking our elation quickly changed to extreme paranoia as we realized how big this grow was and how high quality the cannabis looked. We realized we could very well get shot over this, so sped up our pace and made sure to not completely cash the crop out so they had something left.
As we snuck out we saw who we presumed were the growers going to harvest, if we’d been down there an extra hour we’d had gotten into a confrontation.
While I feel bad knowing what it takes to grow a crop, part of me doesn’t feel bad when you do illegally on someone else’s land in a way that could possibly get others in trouble instead of you if it were ever found. Part of me feels karma had that coming to everyone involved with how perfect it all lined up.
So we get home, and now we have all this fresh bud that’s obviously nowhere near smoke ready. I took a couple nugs and nuked em for a shitty but doable smoke.
What we found held us for a few months which was very nice at the time given how poor we were..
Would I do it these days? Hell no. Maybe like one nugget
