      That's because they're just stories, I'm sick of this f****** dude lying acting like he was the connect after he put me in dirty Mike in prison.. this dude was just a dope fiend every now and then he would get one or two pounds of tree off of us and it wasn't even for him... He was copping it for the guy that lived next door to him and he always made two or three hundred bucks off of it which he spent on Coke... This dude got dirty Mike 18 years in prison I'm sick of him on here lying telling all these stories... I'm getting ready to post links to our indictments I'm going to upload them to Google drive for everyone to click the link and see...

    Back about 9 years ago. Payday.. hit the mall w/ my gf. Had a zip on me. Saw a low profile roadblock on the way back home. So I blew through the roadblock at like 25 miles an hour. Came to a stop, rolled my window down and blindly backed up. Got to the cops and said ‘damn man, I barely even saw you guys as I was passing.’ Had my ID ready. Apologized and Politely told them, I didn’t recognize the road block due to them not having lights on. He laughed and told us to have a good night. It’s the demeanor man. If you had drugs on ya, you wouldn’t blindly back up into a road block you just skipped. Doesn’t hurt I have vision restrictions on my ID either.

    This entire series thus far has been the most interesting and most ACCURATE summary of the early 2000's W game.....everything from the prices, growers, areas of distribution, profits, laundering the money, transport......everything down to the T is so ACCURATE......
    Only the ones who were truly involved in the 04-08 era know what the Golden years are.
    By the time 09,10,11 hit, the game was flooded. Everyone and their mama had a W connect and every other person you see on the street had a Verizon burner flip phone.....
    Everyone start pushing out if state to Ohio, Detroit, Tennessee, Oklahoma, because New York wasn't accessible.
    Vacuum sealing and taking the greyhound with 48 packs across the nation used to net the courier 6k per trip, and they'd be taking 2 trips a week.
    Money was everywhere.
    Crazy to hear this guy tell this story that so many other Northern California's were involved in.
    Even if this guy looks like a nerd/geek.....bemeive it or not, these nerdy guys were the ones with the Connect.

    Stoners driving around with silly amounts of weed gives the old days a bad name.
    How hard is it to not get stopped by the cops? There was so many of us driving around with all sort of gear in normal cars and never once stopped by the cops because we didn't act like fucking idiots. We were worried about a crash, not the the traffic cops.
    And yeah we started the same way, noticed the price difference between areas so found a retailer and figured out transport.
    I never sat on it though. We moved that shit immediately on the same day.
    Competition squeezed the margin too hard and we stopped after 6 glorious years.
    Also we didn't get that greedy, was making a tidy $15k every 3 weeks and had a office to make it look like I was working but just played world of warcraft most of the time.

    You mentioned the winter of 2009, right before the Whistler Olympics. I was a working making a drop-off drive from Van to Dawson Creek, BC but, that particular winter, December - February, was the worst blizzard BC had ever seen since 1850. The snow was coming in sideways in solid sheets with 10 ft visibility. The first storm lasted a week and only snow plows were able to get around. It was 30 hours round trip, Dawson Creek was -32C (poor Mennonite horses), we got hit by an avalanche near Chetwynd once but, the scariest part was the goddamn oil and lumber truckers doing 80 on 2 lane highways, getting right on your ass and pushing you to go faster than you can see ahead. Man, that was fun though.

      @@josephsmith3908 easy, yes. Risk free? Not nearly as risk free as 15 years ago. Depends on your threshold of risk also. Losing a package is part of the game. Just like your customer becoming desperate for whatever reason and sticking a pistol up your nose or getting t boned by a drink driver with 70 kilos of grass in your trunk and waking up handcuffed to a hospital bed with two broken legs and a rib perforated your lung. Shit happens. Snitches are everywhere, also. And then you have a situation like where I live. In Mississippi. In 2010, had you gotten pulled over and got caught with a half of a joint in your ashtray, and a Tennessee tag on your car, these people would push the issue and you could serve years in prison. I cannot tell you how many people I know from my time in the penitentiary that were there for what I feel like would not even registered a second glance in the Pacific Northwest. Also, I speak from experience. Which makes it all subjective. All I can really do is relate what I know, what I've seen, you get the idea. In 2004 I was at my friend's house and he got a kilogram of marijuana through FedEx. Came in the mail. You would never have known what was in that package. You know professionally sealed and everything it was was done right. But on the way home that night he stopped and got his mail out of the mailbox and and of course you know there was the there was the package, and 5:00 in the morning before the sun was coming up the local Metro narcotics unit kicked down the door. On the contrary here just around the beginning of covid I had a friend that was regularly receiving the kind of packages that that this gentleman was talking about sending through FedEx and so on and so forth. Whether it be marijuana, THC cartridges, a 12 lb bag of pure MDMA, kilograms of amphetamines, suitcases full of xanaxes. And he wasn't even the least bit worried about it you know he had the cops following him around everywhere he went and staking out his house and all that stuff and it just you know didn't really concern him. He felt safe and confident in the way him and his associates were doing their business. And it continued right on until he overdosed in a hotel room and died. I just feel like it's a considerably riskier proposition these days taking into account all the technology and money that law enforcement has to bring to bear on the situation then it was 10-15 years ago.

      Right. I feel like what you're saying is generally the same as what I'm saying. As you outline, the key is to insulate yourself from illegal activity. The more layers, the better. Of course, he basically says the same thing. But if you're building business, and aren't in a position to insulate yourself, which takes significant money, and forced to be right in the middle, it's a lot riskier these days. So let me kind of clarify what I'm saying. I have my share of experience in this field and I've seen various things. These are all facts. I can relate the facts as as I see them, which I did. Then at the end, just shared my judgment, my opinion, as it's been influenced by the facts of my situation. So in all reality, you really just can't make a blanket statement about this whole thing and not have flexibility in your mind to consider others situations and point of views., When you sell drugs, every time you walk out the door you're taking a federal chance. That's why you get paid the big bucks. I guess it's all on the individual as to what they consider to be risky or not. My opinion is as follows: it's not worth it. Others may have a different opinion and I'm okay with that. If I can't hear their stories and opinions without getting upset and cataloging that is something to consider when I make my decisions, well then I'm already screwed. 👍

    Good story . I was with a friend of mine camping with his family in there property on the way to shelter cove. We made a left to this small little run down town these were lots people bought mostly for a hunting camp. Well they don't need police there they take care of anything and everything on there own. Well we had 3 growers around us 1 was stealing or water. The other one had iron gates at the bottom of this steep hill that only a good lifted 4×4 could make it up. The other guy we ran into while riding our dirt bikes met us on the family property as we were getting to close to his property he was on a dirt bike and packing. When we gave him the last name of the property we were on we were golden. So if your out there in the woods you better known someone or you will be food for the forest and they won't find you.
