So Bikies are buying the odd bale or few from growers on the sly and distributing? Is that the basic logistical model?

Or growing themselves.
I don't smoke, I only know buyers who know the right tobacco shops who keep a bit of chop chop under the counter for those who know to ask.

Bikies engaging in a bit of sneaky farming out the back of their fortresses is giving me a pleasing visual!

"Hey Meathook, do you have the little hoe?"
"Not since last night, Stinkfinger. Or do you mean the dirt digging thingy?"

There's aways a few who are pretty good with a hydro set up.
A mate who did two years was pretty much untouched inside, as he was a lab tech and the bikies all wanted him to electroplate jewellery for them when he got out.
They're not all knuckle-draggers, quite a few entrepreneurial types as well.

Fair enough. All my bikie knowledge comes from these blokes

"California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again."

My 76 year old Pop travels over to a nearby two once a month to buy chop chop from a guy who runs a shop and sells it under the counter. He said COVID was a pain, because the lack of people made it blatantly obvious whenever he turned up to knock on the door of a closed shop.

Your pop is clearly a mentally weak, fantastically stupid, rude, selfish and inconsiderate man. Or so they say.

All that from just smoking tobacco. They need to start putting that on the label.

Smoking ciggies is dumb but at least like most people he no doubt worked for a living before retirement, there's a few bright sparks that have spent a lifetime sitting on the dole smoking weed as well.

I played video games as a kid but was never a gamer. IMO an hour or two of Mario Bros is a bit different to spending all weekend locked in a dark room playing World of Warcraft or something.

But i also watched TV, ate Macca's etc and turned out (relatively) ok. Everything in moderation.

We used to play the Super Nintendo and Play Station loads back in the day probably more than we should have. But we would at least get out and do stuff like kick the footy and play cricket for hours as well. These kids now seem to usually do none of that.

Did a pot smoking hippy shit in your cornflakes ?

The thread isn't about disliking drug fk'd people, rather it is acknowledging their habit is one for losers

Schrodinger's kids... both never playing sport and being forced into too much organised sport by 'helicopter parents' at the same time.

My kids play on the screens, but they also play footy in winter, cricket in summer, gymnastics. Still too young to just wander around a friend's place to play sport and our road is too busy to set the bin up as stumps.

1970's parents - so had limits on the amount of organised sport we could be involved in. Because the 70's parent is not going to tolerate too much ferrying kids about cutting into their drinking time.

"Come home when the street lights come on" was a lot of fun as a kid though

That was my parents mantra in the 60's-70's, loved it.

Everything happened outside our place as it was the flattest part of the street and the house opposite had the double drive way for the cricket pitch.

One of my most vivid memories from childhood was when I was around 11-12 years of age going around with my brother collecting tallies to take to the local collection centre for pocket money.

There was a huge bruhaha at one stage when some rival kids snuck around to our place and stole our collection, after that the bottles went under lock and key.

Same here; helped that we lived on a cul-de-sac.

True...Im more interested in his perception of what avocados are being used for ?
That one seems out of place

I think he’s just listed things he doesn’t like, he obviously enjoys weed though or he wouldn’t have contradicted himself at the end there
