Knock and Talk- Am I Safe Now? Please Read

[DailyTHC]

So I had a small party the other night. Maybe 15-20 people. I know this sounds like a terrible idea, but I have only six seedlings in my 250w Cab. I am very security minded, the cabinet is contained within a closet and it was emitting no noise/light when there were people here. The main light was off and the fan was reduced to an inaudible hum.

At sometime past midnight, the police came for a noise violation. I opened the door with my foot behind it, but they asked to me to step outside. I obliged, but held the door firmly, telling them that I was fearful my cats would run out.

The two uniformed officers asked me for my identification, and asked about my bloodshot eyes, and said they could smell marijuana. I simply said that it was my birthday, yes I know I am not yet 21, and yes, I did consume alcohol that night. I told them my place was small and lots of people were smoking cigarettes, that is what irritated my eyes. They never asked to come in, but they could see from the door the amount of people. No pipes, bags or para was visible. I was on the defense, yet very calm, respectful and collected.

They asked me to tell everyone to leave, which I promptly did, and they stood with me as people cleared out (about 5 minutes). They told me that they were not arresting or ticketing me for the noise complaint, but if they came back that night for noise etc, they would surely arrest me. I said I was sorry, it wouldn't happen again, and 'thanks for being cool and understanding'

I live in a college town, and most of my neighbors have the occasional loud party. Thats it for me though...

Should I be concerned? I haven't cleaned up/torn down yet, and I really don't plan on it as the whole situation seemed like a one time deal. Do you think they are watching me now? I know it sounds absurd, but who knows?

Thanks for reading such a long ass post, any replies are truly welcome and kindly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, that is the feeling in my gut, that it will be okay, and I tend to REALLY over react... Again, thanks and peace

i dont htink much will happen from that..

a couple weeks ago my buddy had a severe panic attack at our place and we had 2 cops and a few paramedics in our livingroom ( 10 feet from my hydrohut) and said it smelt like pot cuz me and my buddy did a nice wake n bake shortly before,,, needless to say, i was very/am very paranoid... but if they didnt do anything right then and there, i dont think anything will become of it..

if you are interested.... here is the thread with my story...

you'll be fine just dont

throw partys
fight with ole lady
play loud music
play music instruments loud
have alot of traffic espically ppl in and out w/in 5-10 min's
no or not many ppl before 9am or after 9pm

dont tell your neighbors dont even smoke with them. last house i lived in through duder next door to me i found out every1 on our side of street smoked canibis. duder on corner was growing bubba kush whole house setup for it.

never let neighbors see equipment {soil lighting ferts} being brought inside
never throw away trim or grow releated materials {if you do dont use your trash}


if you choose to grow canibis



allways be friendly with your neighbors not overly friendly but hey my name is so n so. this way you'll most likely be on 1st name basis when your out and the neighbors are. hey so n so you'll reply hey so n so lol short chat and what not never devulging to much keepn conversations basic. hi how r/u weather is good today eh type thing. keep odor to none and no light leaking out windows and your neighbors will never suspect let alone know.

you are fine, Relax. The cops broke up a small party that got a little loud, thats it.

However, I would think twice about doing this again. Having a bunch of teenagers or college kids togethe partying, is just asking for trouble when growing. A fight, someone passing out, someone OD'ing on some other drug. Hell if one of those kids would have started running their mouth to the cops while you were talking to them, you could have had trouble.

You are fine, just dont do it again.

Did officer Fife make the 'quotes' sign with his fingers when he told you to 'nip the problem in the bud'?

You're good to go, but loud parties and growing weed don't mix.


Peace
