Neighbor Saw Me Walking Out Of Hydro Store.....

So i went to the hydro shop down the street from my house today, just getting some net cups and coco cups, just a little bag luckily. When i walked out and crossed to my car someone said something out of a car behind me, i turn around and recognize the car as one of the dozen that "lives" at the clearly drug dealing house across the way from me.
"Hey I'm your neighbor" he says.
"Yeah? Whats goin on?" I respond, not real happy about this conversation already.
"Whats your name?"
"Mike, whats up?"
"You grow?" He asks!!!!!
I look down at the bad kinda confused, look back at him, then back at the bag.
"O, these are for the garden, its gardening season!" I hope i played this off alright, was pretty pissed off at this moment but anger would have been a bad response.
"Oh, I'm sorry, man!........sorry" and drives away.

So now the fucking drug dealers in my hood know there is a good chance i grow, and they are obviously real good people from everything i see going on there. I am really glad this was today, not last week when i had a $700 order. I used the back door for that one, looks like i may be doing that more.
I am really not sure what to do, just let it go? Go smoke a bowl with him and see if i can at least have them on my side, rather than against me......although i can not stand people like them.......
Any thoughts would be great, don't be too hard on me, i know i was a fucking idiot, but he caught me way off guard. At least i didn't say something worse.
Now i gotta go burn one.......

Buy a gun...soon.

Issue with that one, im sure im gonna get hell for this, but I also have 2 small children, and a wife who does not like guns. That being said i am thinking about going to look at a 12 gauge.

You need to devise a scheme to get them evicted. I'm assuming they rent? I don't know enough about the situation, but there's always a way.

I would be cool with them, but at the same time I wouldn't let them know I grow. I would just act like I smoked occasionally if the topic comes up.

Or maybe a simple security system somthing that beeps loud when door is open...if u suspect people know your growing some of them drug dealers?!? All im sayin is all a drug dealer needs is sum one eles stash to steal and sell then its really 100% profitable..just b careful who u let kno whats in the house sometimes the poliece busting in to investigate is better than gang member busting in with you wife and kids there too...be very careful

I think you played it off well by looking dumbfounded and confused at the question. I'm sure the guy was like, oh shit, does he know I deal now?

why don't you go out and buy a couple of cheesey plants and put them outdoors on say your porch or front yard, this way it actually looks like you are indeed growing something other then marijuana.. if they saw you outside playing with some dirt and a few pots and say some diasie's or what have you, it would go a long way to explain things in my book..

narc on him.. eliminate the competition.

small kids and growing. what the hell are you thinking. j/k you know the people around you better then us. a pump shotgun is a good choice with small children they can't work the pump. I would try to set a grow up they can see, tomatoes are a good choice ez to take care of.

Racer has the plan!! Don't bring it up but plant some new landscape shit out front. If all else fails go buy a bag from him and they'll be kool with you. Just an 1/8 or something small so they don't think your doing it big.

^^Yep..

Considering the story you gave him when you seen him this is exactly what I would do. Buy some jasmine or something, make sure he sees you out there tending to it. He may have his suspicions whether you were lieing to him or not at this point, but if he sees you outside fucking around in a garden he'll be more likely to accept your story.

I started an outdoor garden for that very reason. All my neighbors now know I'm a farmer. I have potatoes, tomatoes, cukes, squash, onions, garlic, cilantro, rosemary, tyhme, basil, strawberries, peppers of various sorts, etc all growing outside.

Mike Young- I like your thinking here, but this is the really bad drug dealing house, the people in the house have competely changed twice, without it ever going up for sale/rent or being empty for any time at all, just new Mexicans and new cars, this time one of them is a H2 full of chrome on like 30" rims. I really think it may be a Mexican Mafia owned house, so no luck in getting them out of there short of a fire...........
DaBong- Like i said above, i think they may be mexican mafia, so i don't want anything to do with them if possible, but i try to be the cool neighbor, doesn't always work out.
Tiger- I agree i need something in place now, even if they would find nothing by breaking in, still don't want them breaking in.
Serapis- Wow of all people i didn't think you would have ripped on me for this. I really tried to play it off like a dumb ass, 9000 thoughts crossed my mind in the time of the conversation, that line played out best. For once having an overactive brain came in handy!
Racer- Nice thing is i am currently doing A LOT of yard work including putting in a garden, so that will play off easy. Hell i have a Dingo sitting in my front yard right now. That was part of the garden answer, that and the fact i just came out of hydro shop.

Thanks for all the responses.
I really don't think they sell bud over there, its one of those places you walk up and before you get to the door someone has at waved you through the window to just come in. Sometime surprised they don't just sell through the window.
I have considered narcing on them, they are way stupid about what they do, but the cops go over there once a month or so and no one has ever left in cuffs, so i figure it would be worthless and bad karma for me. I did call the cops once when i heard a gun shot and then a lady outside crying...... He slammed the car door so hard the air bag went off, sounded just like a bullet.
Anyhow thanks for the responses, still all paranoid........
Reps given!

IMO you should worry less about growing and more about your kids at this point, your putting them in danger and need to probably pack up and leave. Im not tying to tell you what to do in a bitchy way but you need to step up and be a parent.

The sell coke or heroin prolly so fucking with them prolly isn't the safest answer. If that's the case they ain't worried about you either there prolly a little relieved to see you coming outta there like fuck he aint calling the cops!!

Throw and outdoor cookout and invite them bitches over.... They are human too and will enjoy the good eats and the company... it wouldn't hurt to have Mexican Mafia friends across the street.... just sayin....

By the same token, i own my house, didn't know they were their until i moved in, and there is a drug dealer in every hood. And about my growing with kids, my garden is STRICTLY after the kids are in bed, and not only in and area of the house that has a locked door, but heavy furniture must be moved to get near it.
I decided to have kids yes, but i support them and have the happiest kids you have ever met, i have already almost lost one (to a heart condition) and i will not let it happen. I am only in a slightly worse position now, and even if i do stop growing this instant, then i have already fucked up and they won't have a clue if i am or not.
I do not drive a flashy car, i do not have a house that you would look at and say "we gotta rob that house" but my kids have my toys and love than most kids could hope for. Before you talk shit remember life isn't as easy as you think, and if i payed for my smoke (i am in a legal state with a legal grow) i would spend at least $600 a month, because i grow i pay maybe $100 a month.
So in short, even if you weren't trying to be bitchy, you were, and you don't know a mother fucking thing about how i parent!

If the cops are showing up once a month, that doesn't sound like organized crime to me. Jus sayin...
