verum subsequentis said: Kids are smart as fuck.
Yes, they are smarter than most people want to admit. I will never forget the conversation I had with my children when I had to admit that I smoke weed. They had just had the local cops come to the school and talk about drugs (DARE). My oldest daughter said "Daddy, do you smoke that Marijuana weed? The police were at my school today and they showed us all kinds of drugs and let us smell Marijuana and it smells just like your room when you close to door and won't let us in". I was honest with them and told them exactly what would happen if they were to tell anyone. I think that honest, open conversations with your children is always the best approach, we teach our children not to lie to us so why should we break that trust by lying to them. I can honestly say that my openness with my children about drugs is the reason they are drug free today. My oldest daughter and youngest son are the only ones that have used street drugs and that was only cannabis. My daughter just got her weed card after a cancer diagnosis and my son was 16 the 1st time he tried it. I had a choice with my son to either give him Lortab or Cannabis, this was before Florida legalized medical cannabis. He had a huge tumor on his kidney that was grapefruit sized, causing severe pain. Well, doctors wanted me to feed him 10mg Lortab, 2 four times a day for up to 6 months, I knew what would happen if I was to given him that garbage for that long. So, I went to him and asked him how he felt about Marijuana and if he would be willing to try it for pain control instead of the narcotics (my kids knew of my experience with opiates). He was a little shocked that I suggested he smoke weed but he then told me that he would feel more comfortable with the Marijuana than the opiates, so that's what we did. It was not an easy decision for me to make, but I think it was the best decision, because I could never forgive myself if I would have given him the opiates and he would have become dependent, which I am 99% positive would have happened after 6 months of daily use.
Edit: My experience may not be reflective of how things will go for you, you know your children so use your judgment.

Fuckin dare man.
Crazy you brought that up, I hadn’t seen anything about them in at least a decade and thought for sure they had shut down long ago.
Then last weekend I passed these cool dudes 

They must be bringing it back cuz of opiates and covid.

I'm with you guy's, I gotta start growing gourmet. My girls already snitched on me to my ex-wife once now I gotta keep shit on the super hush and only work when they're away or sleeping. They gotta know something when there's one off limits room in the place and a flowhood on the living room.

I confess that it's been a long month without you guys. I just found out Shroomery was back on today because I stopped checking thinking it would be May before it was back on 
It's good to see everyone back at it on here. Hope everyone's been productive!
I finally got some pretty sweet PE monotubs (not just shoebox clone hunting ugh) and they turned out well for MS. Here soon it's time to test all the clones I hunted, over 30 PE clones to try out lol.
I also managed to get a PE/ARG hybrid in one of my monotubs and got super excited and only took a single clone which of course contaminated to the point of no transfer. It looks like a big crazy cotton ball in the plate. Never had that happen before, sigh.
Also I confess, even if shroomery ever goes down again, I will NOT EVER NEVER EVER go to reddit's version of shroomery. It took everything in my being to not post on all the trash information that was being given out. My girlfriend got sick of me complaining how terrible these people are being to their poor grows.

I confess I recently had a close call and ditched a bunch of fully colonized subs, cultures and prints. I've been meaning to get into gourmet stuff. Maybe this is what I needed to finally do it.

Thats shitty man. Hopefully nothing got their attention to the matter. I was in a close call recently to but managed to get everything tucked away. Home inspector came early 
What happened?

An ex of mine got into some trouble and some people went through her phone while she was in jail. There were older messages between us about the subject.
She'd never rat on me. She's a solid person as far as that goes, she just has trouble keeping her shit together in all other areas of life.

Use password protected messaging apps like signal or fake social media accounts connected to burner emails for all communications like that in the future if you can. I bought a cheap phone for just such a purpose. Sorry bout your close call buddy I hope all is well.

Damn it's always a small loose end that could tangle you all up. I'm glad it didnt progress to them looking to much into it. I try to always use signal and even then I tell my friends I talk with about it to delete messages consistantly. You never know.

Lol Wickr deletes it whether it’s been read or not, my friend set the timer for like 5 minutes and was getting all mad people were “ignoring” him all of a sudden.
Great feature though.

I confess I've been really struggling to live authenticly lately. Between having loads of responsibility dumped on me and struggling to break out of my shell of insecurities and depression aswell as maintain relationships its been nearly impossible to cultivate, let alone thrive in cultivation.
And that makes me feel even worse because I don't feel like I'm living the life I should be
