After posting about a bust myself, and reading a few others about being busted, or a bad feeling. >I'M< sketched out. I can't think of anything other than that I've smoked a bowl or two with a guy down 5-7 blcoks (never been IN the house though, I have a screened in porch that's ventilated with a huge fan that was there when I got the house). He was arrested recently bailing his friend out of jail for an old warrant, but him and his friend have mentioned to me how they've been messd with by the cops, and for good reason. They smoke on their front porch, walk smoking, etc etc. THe last time I saw them, I manipulated the conversation into a way that I could say in passing how I quit smoking all together. I've been having weird dreams as of late, where I've been pulled over driving and had a cop come to my window and say "we already know about you" and would say things about other stuff (not growing). I also had another dream where my mother (who doesn't even live with me) let in two FBI agents who went to use the bathroom and heard a buzzing, and came to ask us about it at the dinner table. They stay and eat with us, and I just like I would in real life, act all casual and sneak up into the area and kill the light. At the end of the dream, their leaving to their cars, turn look up at my window, and wink. Now, every night around 11P.M+ I start feeling uneasy. I've always been very intuitive, and have not noticed anything really to make me this nervous. My grow is in a grow tent, with the fan ventilating into an attic that doesn't even vent to the outside hardly at all. The plants aren't flowering. There is no noise outside the room it's in, and the outside of the room has a distance of at least 15 feet on all sides to the fence. Noone comes in my yard anyway. In my younger days when I dealt a number of different illegal items, I would get paranoid, and by god it feels almost just like intuition sometimes. I know this isn't a psychology forum, but I had to get this off my chest. I'm considering packing up all the plants and moving them early tomorrow mourning (4:30 A.M.ish) to another house of mine that's vacant and not in my name(long story) and putting them outside somewhere. I know this is just one long rant of shit, and I'm sorry. But for whatever reason I feel a bit better now. P.S. - I haven't been blazing in two weeks, so I'm not just high at night and getting paranoid.
I guess I'm going to try and read up on warrants and such. I'm not really sure what it takes for the police to get a warrant to search your place. Could someone who doesn't even know you grow, and just thinks you are growing tell the police you're growing, and they get a warrant that way? It seems like the process would have to be pretty extensive before they risked kicking in the door of a tax payer home owner who has no record. But you never know with how things are now-a-days.
Intuition is a powerfull thing, as well as paranoia. If you have other options, ie your other house, then for peace of mind moving them may be your best bet. When i was in the uk we had a growroom in our basement, underneath the living room. Well long story short we had a break in, i found out who that was and went to his house and in a moment of anger threatened his life. I calmed down afterwards and reported it to police. Risky due to my growroom. Well the cop came over to take statements and while we were sitting in the lounge he noticed light coming up through a grate in the floor for gas ventilation and he mentioned it. I just told him my mini guitar studio was down there and must of forgotten to turn off the light. He looked at me suspiciously then carried on with the statement. He then left and i thought whew, that was close. Well my neighbours (who told me who did the breakin as they saw him scamper off) also told some bad motherfucker friends of theirs about my break in and they took it upon themselves to sort out the thief. They liked me because i was kiwi and different i imagine. They asked me to tag along and i said no, ive contacted police and no longer want to get involved. "Well were going to do him anyway" they said and left.I didnt want to argue with these people. 20minutes later i hear an ambulance and think "Öh Shit" and sure enough they had gone to his house and opened up hiis head with the claw part of a hammer. 6 weeks in hospital i was told. So because earlier that day i had threatened his life sure enough the cops turned up at my house. My defence was pretty much "I said that in a fit of anger and calmed down and called you guys, and told the officer of my threat. why would i then go out and do that?" They also tried to get a rise out of me by saying he was a shitbag and probably deserved it, i just shrugged. This is when my paranoia paid off. "Could we check out your basement please?" No warrant but if i said no im sure they would of gotten one, and saying no would bring suspicion on myself. Thank god that after the original cop had been i had discarded my grow and cleaned up. Ok that wasnt such a short story lol
wizard hey dude...i have watched this tv show on tv about these varments and they tell a story about these varments like they used to do on the disney show...its like a little varment family...well the reason i tell you this is becasue one of the things they do when they get nervous...and they think something is wrong, they move their family.....now most of the time there is nothing thats really threatening them but it makes them feel better...so they pack up their family and go find a new hole to live in..now this is no easy feat as they are extented families...like 30-40 ....they kind of look like gophers.. so i am telling you if it makes you feel better to move your stuff...move it...no biggy...find a better place or off the porch for a while...or buy a filter system...but the important thing is for you to feel better about your grow...at no time should you feel like you are telling us you feel....good luck my friend...hope it works out...
*sigh*. I'm going to move it, set even more strict rules for my house, then do the next one here again. I am going hermit, only hanging out in a different town. After I feel things have cooled down (not even sure what's up) I'm going to start back up. I'm leaving with all the plants + pipes now. bbl
WIZaRD All It Takes Is A Complaint To The Police In Order For Them To Obtain A Warrant To Search Your Premesis The Complainer Remains Anonymous And Need'nt Have Any Proof If You Get Busted Three Times Without The Cops Finding Your Op/Stash You Can Take Out A Injunction Against The Police Thats U.K Law Don't Forget That Old Song ; " Paranoia Will Destroy Ya " JKP
I'd say if u can move them outdoors. Do it.. I mean if the weather is sufficient for growing outdoors, u may as well move them out.. If u are that paranoid about it.. I wouldnt be too worried about folks knowing you smoke.. It isnt illegal to smoke weed. Its ilegal to possess or "manufacture" it.. I never understood how you could manufacture pot, when it grows naturally.. Theres no manufacturing process.. But well leave that one to the government. GFam
Meerkat Manor? Those are some smart fuckers. They also post lookouts. A grower could learn alot from those little critters.
