worst situation possible aside from getting busted- i think?

ok well i just typed this big long story and then hit the back button!!! :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: sooooo annoying....

i have a little story for you guys here at icmag of something that happened this morning that i think is going to have to end a little project of mine. for those who have seen my thread here in the indoor growing section, that friend of mine is actually something else.... lol, becuase of what happened today, im way more paranoid of getting busted. much more than letting people here on icmag know that i am growing 4 plants and being tracked down by some supposed "cops" watching these forums..

on with the story...... :rant:

last night was a late one for me. i fell asleep watching tv in the early evening and didnt wake up til around 11pm. so i was up all night, til like 6am ish. when i woke up, i did my whole routine (piss, water, smoke, eat-and yes i remembered to brush). i have a roomate that has been a longtime friend of mine. hes got really long hair and i tell him he looks like a burnout all the time. the slow, quiet, low voice doesnt help his cause either.. LOL... he started smoking a little later than me but has never really taken a good sized break. today when we got done smoking, he mention quitting for a good period of time. i told him it was probably a good idea. not only for health reasons, but security as well(going back to what i said earlier).
well after that i went to check my garden out. since its on 12/12 now i cant check it as often, which sucks. i was in there for 20 or so minutes and then walked out into the living room where i found my roomate sitting in front of my computer talking on the phone. his voice was shaky and weak, when he asked my what our address was. i stumbled around for alittle bit loooking for it, and he told me to hurry up because he called 911. i immiedately got really upset/worried. after i gave him the address and waited for him to finish, i asked him what the fuck was up. apparently he was having a panic attack which was causing him to go into a fetal position claiming that he felt very weak(later telling me he thought he was dying).
as im going over this situation in my head, I FLIP OUT... i mean LOSE IT. theres pipes, empty bags, my bong.... empty beer cans everywhere... MY ROOM AND THE FANS!! not to mention he just smoked a few b's not long ago... so to not make it weird that i was fleaing the scene(for my neighbors sake) i went into my room and close the door, turned the lights off, and tucked myslef in.
30 minutes later i hear everyone leaving... so i go outside. a few hours pass and i still havent heard from my friend, when he finally comes back. I just started bombarding him with questions... how many people were in here? were there any cops? what happened? all that stuff. he told me 2 cops were the first on the scene. when the 2 cops got there, they asked my friend if he had taken anything(SKETCH) and were kinda snooping around the living room apparently.. my friend said no as they were looking into this cup that had some insence ash in it. followed by a "it smells like pot in here" from one of the officers!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! but they didnt do anything right then and there, and eventually left when parameds got there. they did there thing and took him out into the ambulance which is when my buddy admitted to smoking some pot earlier. he did, however, sign a confideniality contract with the hospital, which is the only plus side to this, really. :cuss: but the only thing going through my mind was the fact that the cops said it smelt like pot. my buddy claims he said it was the smell of the insence he lit earlier. LOL
i dont know what to think, so i thnk im gonn ahve to cut my 4 plants down-which i vegged for 6 weeks and are BEASTS that will yeild me over and elbow(under 1kW HPS). im thinking this because; from the living room you can faintly here my fan from my room, which isnt that big of a deal that i have a fan in my room, but.... if they decide to try to pursue anything legally, with a little research they could find ive been busted twice with weed, and my timed lighting, which company is actually owned by the city, AND the faint smell of weed that they got when they arrived.... sooooo idk what to do really. i feel like im pushing it and being greedy by keeping my plants, since its still gonna be another 2 months before they are done. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!

long story, sorry lol i tried to make it detailed for reading appeal and so i could put you in the same situation, when deciding what you think i should do...

I don't want to sound harsh but i'd have dragged him onto the step and locked the door behind him and then started a super clean and shutting down op for the night. maybe harsh but doesnt sound like he was dieing in any view imaginable.
Sounds like they will just think he was lieing and had been smoking. looks like a hippy, smells like a hippy, prob a hippy. not a hydroponic master lol

just doesnt seem like they would care.i mean some guy is having a panic attack and the cop smells weed...like why would they even go into it further...he smoked weed freaked out called the cops,and i'm sure they left it at that,they arent thinking oh this guy most be growing,i'ed think.........but..its not insane to think that they MIGHT "watch" you i guess....i don't know

interesting to say the least.

since leo were pretty much invited in to your place by the 911 call, I would think if they thought there was a grow op going on there, they would have searched the place while they were inside. since they didnt open your door and come looking around or asking you questions, I wouldnt be overly worried about it.

if they suspected something, they would have made their move while inside rather than leaving and having to come back later which would require a search warrant at that point.

with that being said, if paranoid, chop chop.

my opinion is they arent giving you a second thought or they would have already acted upon it.

personally, I wouldnt have a grow while living with any room mates but thats just me. I never want to put myself in a situation where I can be blackmailed.

just my .02.

regards,
JT

i know, i need a new roomate... NO ONE! hes a good guy, great social skills, but no common sense-one of those people-im sure you know someone liket his.

this hobby isnt one you can share, ive realized. no matter how good/trusting the relationship is...

but you are saying i should finish out the grow, and that if they wanted to pursue anything they would have done it then and there?

Wow - that sucks. And it's going to cause you infinite paranoia for the next three months. I hope your friend has been suitably chastised.

I doubt that the cops are going to follow this up - and I prob wouldn't cut the plants until they're done - but you're going to feel very uptight for a while which is going to ruin the fun of growing.

As a rule, if you're doing something HIGHLY illegal, then don't hand around (or live) with anyone who LOOKS like a criminal. Reasonable suspicion can be just talking to someone who sounds and looks stoned. Even if they're not. And people will grass you up to the police just for looking like a hippie.

Consider the experience a wake-up call.

If they happen to try somehting tricky lets say.. worst case senario, investigate, find 1kW on n off same time. can the cops get a warrant based on that smell they got when they were in my house however long ago from when that would happen. get what im sayin?

ur good to go. Leave the plants up. You passed the test already by having the police in your place. If they had smelled your grow, you would know about it by now. That shit smells way stronger than just some pot smoke. The smoke is explained by your buddy admitting to smoking. Grow that shit, sell that shit, and reinvest your money on a new place for yourself and your favorite girl, MJ.

oh, and I've had a raging party at my grow house, where the county, city, and campus police came. Needless to say I was shitting my pants as I was kicking them out of my house, but they had no reason to be there... That's another story though. I don't recommend raging parties or having police over to your place, but if you made it, you're good!
 
Man, I know people exactly like you described...its a shame that happened. Cause I'm sure the guy is a good guy, but its just rule #1 is the most important rule.

Personally...its only marijuana, so I would cut it and get a good nights sleep and plan out your next grow very carefully in a new spot.

paranoia is a son of a bitch

You keep on about the smell,are you running a carbon filter? Because it WILL get even stronger as it matures.

As for you freaking out,it will pass. Like most have said,if they didn't get you when they were there,you are fine.

good luck bud

nothing to worry about if they were there for you buddy and they suspect anything that they were not there for they have to sezes the Crime Scene "what means you would have to wait outside with the cops " as they call a juge to obtain warrant before they can search the rest of the place i personaly been there in my owen life all that will happen is you friend will pay for the most expensive bud he ever has smoked "hospital bill"

dont be dumb and chop
