20+ years ago I had a friend who grew weed and he asked me if I could help him out at his grow house. He told me he'd give me a couple of ounces for helping out and I was always interested in how that kind of thing operated so I said okay and he stopped by to pick me up. It was a whole two story house dedicated to growing and it was a wonder the neighbors couldn't smell it from the outside. There were water lines running everywhere down hallways from bathrooms, in this room it's summertime, in this room it's winter, there was a lot to it. As time went on it became clear I wasn't there to help with anything growing related. He had had a falling out with his partner and he needed help because he was stealing the entire operation. At that time I was into weight lifting and competing in martial arts tournaments and he told me I was there in case his partner showed up. More guys kept showing up and one of them was out on bail for felony drug possession. I did not belong there but I was stuck without a ride on the complete opposite side of town and of course this was well before Uber and cellphones.
We were there for hours wrapping up lights and hoses and putting pot plants into taped up cardboard boxes. We made several trips following him to the new location with the back of his truck full of the plants. Several of the boxes came undone and there were pot plants whipping around in the back of his truck on the highway. I don't know how we managed to not get pulled over. Finally, around 3am he dropped me off at my house. I sat there with a bunch of buds that were too green to smoke and never felt more relieved to be back in my own home. I definitely made some changes in what I agreed to and who I hung out with after that.
