Haha mines the worst. I was sleeping...SLEEPING in the back seat of my friend's car cuz I was beat and stoned out of my mind. Next thing I know I'm being woken up by a cop at my window. No one else is around, I have no clue what's going on, and I have a half ounce in my pocket I just bought. He asks me if I have weed on me right away, so I figure my friends got busted and they're just coming to collect me too. Not the case, but I gave it up anyway. I had never been more pissed in my life. The cop was a retard. I had a new 5 dollar bill in my pocket, he didn't believe it was real. He spent a good 10 minutes verifying it was real. The whole station was laughing at us, they thought it was funny. I finished my 112 community service hours with a dent in my shin, and I missed a lot of work because of it. This stupid little charge screwed up my life worse than the pot. FUCK THE POLICE!

I went through about half of this post and only saw 1 remark on odor control and a trillion about keeping your mouth shut lol.It should be emphasized if ever you come under suspicion and you have odor problems out in the yard,you're in big trouble.Odor control needs to be emphasized a lot more if you ask me,which you didnt
I dropped out to grow weed ooops haha bro my home town follows none of the rules when my older sister got caught smoking weed behind the local movie theater there was no ticker or arrest or anything it ent up in the paper and not the local one because of who our dad and her friends dad are. I have friends who have been pulled over shit faced with no liscense weed and coke in the car and were simply let go, its a small town and the cop that pulls you over is the same one that gave the starr classes to you in elementry school everyone knows everyone and no one follows the laws.badboyg said:
Wealthy people are not required in this country to subscribe to the laws as the common man is, and thats a fact moble homes sell for over a million where im from fucking moble homes man. We have a worse drug problem than the poorest project. When I was in highschoolit wasnt uncommon for girls to take a "bathroom" break to go do lines. My sister said that one day when she was serving a saturday school she told the teacher she had to go to the bathroom and the teacher gave her her key since it was locked on the weekend my sister went to the bathroom and did bumps of meth off of the teachers keys. If your a MMJ patient in cali then maby one day youll meet me and then we can sit and smoke and I'll tell you my life story and then ill get to laugh at your stupid looking gawk but untill then have fun

From my own experience I can tell you that having a grow partner,even someone you are close to,is a real bad idea in the long run.I never had legal problems over it but it lead to personal problems for sure.Another good idea for large grows is to shut down when the meter is being read,if its spinning wildly compared to your neighbors well its just not a good thing.My bill is probably 3 or 4 times higher than my neighbors,I pay the bill the day after it arrives,always.If there is a good customer list I want to be on it.My bill tells me when my next reading is,this is how I know when to wait for the guy.Odor cant be emphasized enough,its probably second right behind telling someone of your grow.You see you cant be busted if nobody else is involved in it,that includes family have a little respect for yourself and others,dont let people know of your felonius activities its just not cool.Its like giving a wink or subtly mentioning something about erb to your hydro store guy,its just disrespectful to them.Keep that attitude towards every,you're not doing anyone any favors by talking about it.Get a dog.Besides him being your grow guardian bags of dogfood and bags of ocean forest are almost indistinguishable from a distance.Dont appear as a grow house.Right now as I'm typing this my front door is wide open,it normally is when weather permits.I have dozens of flowering plants and buds on the wire mesh table in two 8 by 8 bedrooms just fett away from the front door,no worries if you've taken care of odor control.Get your dog used to the front yard so religious fanatics and cops dont just stroll up lol.Be aware when coming from the hydro store.If you are selling erb,deal with one person only that you've known for awhile and have no reason to mistrust,notice I didnt say someone you trust because you cant do that here.Dont put "trust" in anyone about this,again its just being disrespectful to them.Nothing ever goes in the trash.Dont let your head get big whatever you do,you aint nuttin honey

A few months ago, she just got her sentence today. Her shithead lawyer told them to cop a plea and they threw the book at them. Felony, jail time, in shifts so her kid won't be alone. Boyfriend in Jail now, My Name is Stitch after he gets out.
She got turned in by the person who gave her beans!

What got me busted was not following the rules and allowing one person too many to know my biz (two people are one person too many, IMHO).
LOOSE LIPS GET GROWERS POPPED, PERIOD.
I was set up, rippers came in and cleaned me out; they had keys to the house, thanks to a "friend" (who I found out later also dropped a dime on me for good measure). I came home to find the closet door ripped off its hinges and EVERYTHING green gone....the ol' Jesus light blazing and the lingering smell of raped greenery in the air. Then, LEO does a knock & talk...
What saved my ass was:
a) planning: I had my growroom designed to be disassembled in under 5 minutes flat if shit hit the fan.
b) karma: the fucks that robbed me actually did me a favor by stealing the evidence. No plants + no weed = big FUCK YOU LEO!
No charges were ever filed in my case, but ultimately I was "outed" as an eeevil pot grower in a very small town. Even worse, I had to go thru the 'intervention' bullshit with my family (who thinks mj = heroin). Needless to say, my beloved hobby has been destroyed...at least for the forseeable future. I lost everything; I've been shut down and "clean" since April.
BTW I found out months later that LEO had done a flyover with FLIR and gotten a heat signature, pulled my phone/elec records and had me under surveilance but had absolutely nothing solid to go on (no trash/smells/traffic/etc). They had enough to be suspicious, but not enough to get a warrant.
Tell no one, ever. If you're a grower, you cannot afford to trust or tell ANYONE about your hobby. The risks are entirely too high to fuck around- those rules are there for a reason (don't tell, don't smell, don't sell).

how big was the light?
my bust came about by catching my teenage next-door neighbor cutting buds off of my shishkeberry at 3am, early october night in 1999...he told his parents, who i figured were also involved with the thievery and they called the cops. one week later there they were, standing inside my living room with flash grenades going off and guns drawn...they had themselves a dangerous pot farmer on their hands and weren't about to take any chances...
yes, i should have pulled em all the right then and there but i thought we had a deal worked out to share with him after the harvest (like yeah right)...live and learn.
