Made it BOTH for me. That was one of the best times of my life though, Albeit WEIRD AS HELL. Lots of hallucinogenics were picked or made and consumed.
The first time I “harvested” was right after my friends and I each drank a Powerade bottle of mushroom “tea”...
Weren’t even my plants.
We were out in one of the “hangouts”, And kept hearing helicopters. We went out to see where they were, And basically followed the sound through the swamp until we could see them.
There was a chopper with a guy hanging out the door pointing to a spot on the ground about 150 yards in front of us.
As soon as he left we sprinted to where he was pointing... And each of us ripped off as many branches as we could and took off running. No shit, as soon as we got back to the cars a freaking swarm of LEOS went down the side road next to us. Thank gods for overgrown saw palmettos, And the dummy that wanted to take his dark green Honda Accord, Instead of my bright red, lifted Suburban...
We went back a few days later, grabbed the few plants they left, and got 12 free trail cams in the process.
