So I live in a townhouse complex which has a back patio area where neighbors can look down and see into. I have 6 plants and live in California (orange county) which is deemed to be a bit on the "conservative" side of the fence. I'm at home often and can hear the neighbors making snide remarks and downright insulting. ("trash, loser, etc."). Now, I really enjoy 420 and its very beneficial for my anxiety and to relax. Yet, growing it I feel intuitively that I'm in the wrong- not just because its illegal but I'm somehow making the neighbors suffer. I really wish they'd understand I'm not growing to sell it, but for personal use. I definitely can see how the smell, or plain sight of 420 can be somehow offensive. Nobody wants to be distracted by something deemed illegal coming from a shitty 9-5- it can prove to be an easy scapegoat. I'm also shocked how people are so offended by it yet they medicate their children with ritilin and other Rx. Is that because one side which has all the power legitimizes their form of medication? I feel more comfortable when I allow myself to think about it, but still feel bad for the neighbors.
