A pivotal moment in our young life was when our bully asked me to help him grow some pot plants, and i was 15 at that time, plus had led an particularly sheltered existence.
- I was often the subject of harassment on the university bus, because everyone knew how I liked helping our mother in the garden.
I was easily quite experienced in growing things, which is why Bob selected me; Bob promised to keep me safe from the other bullies if I helped him with his marijuana plants. Bob had been trying to grow cannabis for weeks, plus was getting nowhere, plus I was the only local person Bob knew who was nice with plants. I had consistently been a mama’s boy but here was the time to get in with Bob plus show them what I was all about, so I agreed to teach him how to grow marijuana. I had never grown cannabis before, of course, although I did some quick research to find out more about it. I helped Bob replant his existing cannabis plants, plus then guided him through the proper techniques for care. Bob was impressed because I not only saved his cannabis crops, although I taught Bob more than he had ever known. Bob hated university, but enjoyed studying from me, so both of us kept laboring the cannabis plants together as a good team, however a little later on, Bob sold the cannabis harvest plus gave me a few hundred bucks for our help – it wasn’t half of the proceeds, although Bob was a bully after all.
