PING!!!
This is not in your area of interest AFAIK but should give you some insight into life on my side of the state.
Actually, between 1970-1990, marijuana was very much in my area of interest.
But, as I got near age 40, I started to worry about the health consequences, and, at the same time, almost every employer started to drug test, so I decided to quit, and I’ve never looked back.
By the way, I think your “neighbor” was really lucky he’s a bad shot.
When you gun down someone who’s running away from you, the only thing you’re going to “harvest” is a truck load of legal problems.
