I confess, I just had a convo with my wife about the cops. I said, when I watch shows like this (SWAT) it proves to me that I would never show up on the polices radar for what I do. She proceeded to say, not unless I call them. I said, I can’t believe you would turn me in like that. She said, only if you start growing again. Fuck. I need to close up my small operation and move out, get a divorce. Like wtf. Then she says, it’s not that I don’t love you. Holy shit peeps. This is kinda scary

Yikes Adrenochrome. My wife didn't like my lab either. I'm hoping your wife was joking based on her knowledge that you only grow gourmet and 'science' mushrooms. (;))
If it comes down to it, your wife is probably well worth shelving a hobby.

I'm so sorry to hear that Adrenochrome. That is terrifying. For real if she is that open about ruining your life over a disagreement then what is she not being open about. By that I mean I wouldn't trust her to not lie and call in a moment of anger even if you actually aren't involved in cult. The system is fucked as many know and once that notion has been made, they can tear your life apart for literally no reason. I'm sorry to say this and I mean no offense to you or your life but that is not a healthy place to be for anyone. Clean house, cover your ass, and get to a safe place as soon as you can. She is not even considering how her actions (or threatened actions) would effect your kids and other people's lives. We'rehere for you as much as we can be for support. Watch your ass and stay safe brother.

I feel like no matter what I do I will be subjected to this kind of treatment. Even if I leave and move on with my life, what’s stopping her from telling a future landlord of mine that I have a history of growing? It sucks because she will inevitably drive a wedge between my kids and I for the rest of my life. Feels pretty hopeless bro
I also really want to get this culture to fruit so I can get a clone on agar before I close up shop. One plate I can keep in the attic somewhere because it’s really strong myc. This may not even be worth the risk. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place
I’m sorry you guys have to hear about this so much, I just don’t have anyone else who understands

I can understand that sentiment. And that thought definitely crossed my mind while replying. The question I would ask myself is if I quit mush cult, what's to stop her from using the same tactics in any other way? Again, I don't want to come off as giving advice per say or even that I am pushing you toward one decision or another. I personally don't know if I could trust a person that said that ever again...... It's a tough spot your in man and I don't know there is a simple answer to it. Kids make it harder. It seems petty to say get a divorce because she won't let you grow mushrooms but that's not how I would see it. To me, it's about safety and trust and security. Anyone willing to cost me my kids, my career, my freedom, my mental well being, etc. That is much bigger than the topic that brought the feelings and ideas to the surface. Not saying leave her immediately, or at all. But sure as shit clean EVERYTHING out of that house immediately until you figure out what to do. She has already shown she has no problem removing you from her and your kids lives for a long time and\or indefinitely without even a second thought. As for the landlord thing, locked cabinets. Landlords can enter the house but not open locked containers and police need a warrant to do so. Living together, they could use her permission to open it but in a separate house, her word alone is not enough for either of them to open it. Again, not to say this is what you should do, just to touch on the scenario you mentioned. One of the cities I used to live in landlords were allowed to inspect the property once a year for "safety", with 48 hours notice. So just built a cabinet out of an old reptile enclosure (it was a very large reptile enclosure) to throw things in when that time came. They never questioned it one bit.

Don't call her bluff over a clone. I know the feeling, it would be difficult. Still though, having to join a racially segregated prison gang because your wife has odd notions about reality seems like a steep gamble. I'd cover your ass first, people here are willing to help you with prints or even possibly cultures if need be, if and when you sort that out.

Thank you guys for your generous responses. I have had to clean house so many times it isn’t even funny. During the most recent occasion, she even threw out my spore collection, which I just got built back up thanks to the awesome members in the marketplace. This won’t be easy, but I feel it is essential for me and my children. But fuck.....

The situation of taking part in mush cult while living with someone else is always a tough one. On one hand, I think people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want. On the other, if you did get caught and they raided your house, your wife could potentially be looking at some serious charges just like you since she knew about it and was complicit to the whole operation. Although I think her actively saying she would call the cops is fucked.
Honestly, one of the reasons I now live alone is for mush cult reasons. I always felt guilty cultivating with others in the house because I knew it wouldn't just be my ass potentially looking at real time if shit went down. It's a hard one due to the fucked up morals of this system/society we're in, but if you ever got busted it would affect more than just yourself. Absolute worse case, it leaves the kids with no mom and dad for a little bit.
Hope you get it figured out.

I’ve thought about those temperature controlled storage units, but they are surrounded by cameras. I almost need like a workshop somewhere rural where I can have woodworking or something as a cover. I feel like a dinosaur because all my old buddies are dead and gone (damn heroin) and I don’t trust anyone well enough to use someone else’s house, which would also jeopardize their lively hood and isn’t right. If my wife did find out and turned me in, I would plead with the judge that she had no knowledge, because I’m not a dirtbag. I just want what’s best for her, she can’t offer the same

Nothing but love for you here Adrenochrome. I know that is limited in helpfulness to due the nature of the community but it is here for you. When you are ready and able, we'll make sure you get back up on your fuzzy feet.

I confess that due to working in my garage and transporting plates back and forth, over half of my LAGM plates literally have more water than agar in them from the huge temp swings. Resisting the urge to throw every single one in the trash out of frustration.

I think you’d be fine in a storage unit doing a couple shoeboxes or something. All anybody would see is you carrying in some boxes.
I would definitely shut down and sort out the domestic stuff first though. I wouldn’t be able to hang in like you are, at least I don’t think so but I don’t have kids. I can’t stand walking on eggshells or having to hide shit from people anymore, especially at home. I’ve got a zero tolerance policy for bullshit cop threats these days. I had a girl way back start hitting me so I grabbed her wrist until she stopped but then she went off about how she’s gonna call the cops and say I was hurting her. She calmed down and apologized and said “you know I’d never do that”, and I stuck around a while longer but I couldn’t ever trust her the same way again. Now that I know that I won’t waste any time these days if somebody says something like that. I’m just out.
If I were you I’d take a few days and seriously think about things. Mostly if it’s gonna be a situation that gets better or if you’re gonna spend another year or two fighting and hiding shit before eventually leaving or having her fuck you over. If it seems unlikely to patch things up might as well save yourself a bunch of time and misery and cut out now while things are decent.

Hope shit works out for you brother, I'm blessed to have a wife that works in the cannabis industry, so she's actually intrigued with mush cult, so I can't even imagine having it like that, but I do know your kids are the most valuable thing in all of this, and this hobby or a woman aren't worth your kids so whatever you do put them first. But I'm sure you already know that, hope all works out for you though.

Yes my kids are top priority. And the way I see it, mush cult and using these sacred compounds has been instrumental in me being the best parent I can. I confess, I was a junky. Hooked on meth and heroin on and off for a decade. It always pulled me away from my kids and I was mostly estranged. Now that I’m back in their lives everyday, I want to ensure it stays that way and that my demons of addiction never take me from them again. Forever, potentially. This really is what’s best for them but nobody I know really gets that. I have their best interest at heart when I choose to live and not die.

That's good man, I'm still new to mush cult/ this community but I can say that in the little time I've been here it's helped me strive to be better in all aspects of my live also, but for some reason people on the outside looking in have a hard time seeing the positives this hobby brings, they just see it as a bad drug thing or somthing. But I hope it all works out for you just try to stay positive.
My confession: last night my wife asked if I was coming to bed, I said, "sure as soon as I finish up this transfer, I'll be done in like 10 minutes."..... Well by the time I got out of the sab it was 3:00 in the mornin and she was crashed, so I slowly combed into bed as not to wake her... 😂

I confess I got caught by my neighbor yesterday 
I was in the garage prepping wbs and dumping out a couple old contaminated tubs. The garage door was open half way and right as I came from the house into the garage he comes ducking under the door asking me about tools. So he gets in and keeps talking for a couple seconds then notices I’m holding a tub with a few mushrooms on it still and trails off.....then goes through this exact sequence
... ... ...
Luckily he’s really cool I’d been considering asking if was into shrooms for a while but never did. Now he’s set on learning how to cult too.
