I was trying to create some killer content for my Youtube channel, and almost got myself shot in the process! This is a crazy story, but I swear every word is true.
I am posting it anonymously, because I don’t need any of it coming back to bite me, but I just had to share this tale! I host an online show based out of Seattle, Washington, and mostly I talk about cannabis.
Weed is my passion, and Seattle is a great city for this particular passion. I have been doing episodes for a couple of years, so for my 200th episode I wanted to do something really crazy. I decided to go outside of Seattle and look for one of the notorious cannabis farms in the woods nearby. At local cannabis dispensaries people tell tall tales about the fearsome cannabis farmers outside of Seattle. The story goes that all the farmers are constantly fighting with each other over land, so it’s very dangerous. I thought this was just a local Seattle legend and so I set out into the forest to see what I could find. Much to my surprise, the stories are all true, and I found the edge of a massive marijuana crop within a couple of hours. There was a small wire fence around the cannabis, and I was considering if I should step over it when I heard a gunshot. I didn’t hear a bullet go by me, so I think this was a warning shot from the cannabis farmers to scare me away. It worked! I ran all the way back to my car.
