Dude, if I lived way out in the country where I could grow and not have people fuck with me, I would grow some massive outdoor monsters. But I live in town. There is no possible way I could grow outside without it standing out. I have no privacy. And the very second it started to bud, it'd get cut down by some high school kids.
Plus cops around here SUCK. Crooked as hell.
So my neighbor sold meth for years. And it was obvious as hell. I think its part of why I got the place so cheap. Eventually he got busted, but this went on for years. Just a line of people in and out of his house looking sketchy as hell. I stopped trying to be nice, and I'd stand in my drive way with my phone taking pictures of people because it was funny as hell watching them scatter like cockroaches.
Anyways. Chief of police lives half a block down. He could literally see the garage door where these meth addicts were coming and going from his front porch.
So either he was the dumbest ass piece of shit cop ever OR he was crooked. And I know he was crooked, because I've had some folks who I know to be extremely trustworthy tell me they would see him leaving the meth garage with an envelope stuffed full of something, every month or two.
