Teacher:Given a post that is a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation and an associated claim about its type, verify if the claim is true or not. The claim asks if the posts are historical or hypothetical. The posts are "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and they are "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future. Say 'yes' if the claim is true otherwise say 'no'
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I've been a cannabis grower for years in California. When I first started to sell to shops, it was always common to look at the other growers products, and one grower always produced quality that was so much better than the rest of the growers. It turned out the producer had a Ph.D in botany and started growing cannabis with high CO2 saturation levels, well before it was an industry standard.   


As a fellow producer, his product was the only product I was willing to spend money on, as I have more than enough at my own place. As the cannabis industry has matured, his product always has been one step ahead. I've only talked with him a handful of times over the past decade, mostly trouble shooting or trying to get tips here and there, but the last time I talked to him was shortly after all the [cannabis raids](https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article207911324.html) in California last year. Many growers were getting nervous as the regulations were changing people who lagged behind were being raided left and right. When I brought it up to him, he was extra somber and told me he's had quite a few friends that got arrested in that specific sting. As realization dawned on me, I asked him if he was connected with the syndicate.  He admitted to such, stating they covered his education and other things. He sells enough of his stuff stateside just to cover local bills, but the bulk of his supply goes back to mainland China.   


His product is amazing, and over the years even my business wasn't always completely on the up and up. So whenever he finishes curing the specific strains my wife and I love, I get a call stating my delivery is on its way. I feel bad knowing I am purchasing from a crime syndicate that more than likely uses that income on more nefarious things other than cannabis and psychedelics.  I've also upgraded over the years, moving from purchasing an Oz here and there from him, to now purchasing about a pound a month. His is the only cannabis I'll buy to resell, as it never has any issues selling out and making more than its money back. So I've contributed a substantial amount over the years.   


Currently, I'm still purchasing from him every month. I've actually been purchasing more as the likelihood of him being raided appears to be higher than it was prior. Does this make me an asshole?
