I've been spending bit of time reading threads here about home grows and how people need to keep their mouths shut about growing to avoid any number of pitfalls (the fuzz, grow rips, etc.). I've got my four plants going in my basement and while I'm not taking out full-page ads in my local paper, I am fairly open about the fact that I'm growing and there are several people who are aware that I have a small setup going.
Time was I wouldn't be so open about these things. I used to work in the correctional system and as a result needed to keep things nice and quiet to avoid any issues at work, and I certainly wouldn't have been growing prior to legalization. In fact, I dealt with several individual who had been picked up for growing (larger crops, obviously) and one client of mine had been convicted of murder after killing a guy during a grow rip.
I'm not worried personally about anything happening to me as a result of my gardening, but what about you folks? Are you more open about it now that things are nice and legal? Do you worry that you may attract the attention of unsavoury individuals? Have you just dummied up because you're used to keeping things quiet?
