Why do I have such dumb friends? And how to deal with them.

So I have a group of friends that have decided to take upon themselves the noble and risky task of cultivating marijuana both for personal use and to eventually make a profit off of. This is all fine and well, but the problem lies in the fact that I, an outsider to this plan, one who has nothing directly to do with it, am aware of it well before it's even off the ground. As it stands right now, the house they live in is H-O-T. By that, I mean that I've gotten pulled over and cops have immediately asked if I was coming from "that party house", and then proceed to say how they know how much weed goes through that place, but luckily I didn't have anything on me at the time. I've also had friends get pulled over and arrested with an O on them less than 100 yards after they left. My friends have taken this fact into consideration, and are moving into a brand spankin new house in a brand spankin new town, which is where the growing will take place. This is a fact that gives me great solace about their safety, but they are still pretty blatant and have made no attempt to keep their plans on the DL. How can I go about trying to get them to make a big "ohhhhh yea, we're changing our mind about that shit, it was a bad idea" scene, so that every one who now knows about it thinks it's not happening, with the hope that they can retain one small shred of safety? Is it even worth defending? Do you think they deserve to get busted for their stupidity? If they weren't my friends, I would, but they are, so I have this natural instinct to protect their stupidity. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Friends are going to jail. Go with them, or don't. You may need new friends.

The thing is is that the people they spill it to, as far as I know, are "cool", which I know means nothing in the long term, but it's not like they're like "I don't give a fuck who knows", ya know, they do keep it to people they know fairly well, but like I said, that means jack shit in the end. Someone you know fairly well could still spill the beans to someone you don't know fairly well who may try to work their way in and then get it busted.

No matter how cool, tell enough people = busted. Or armed robbery, worse imho.

I agree, I didn't even think of that. But there has to be a way to at least alert them to the fact that they're being really really stupid, and hopefully have them reconsider going forward with it, isn't there?

Get one of those air horns. Every time they mention growing, blast it.
Or those training collars with the shocker.

Luckily, they're not my only friends, and starting at the end of this month (when they plan on moving into the new place), I will be over 50 miles away with my other group of friend for the fall (school). So I will be removed from it, but my thoughts and worries are still with them.

Never tell ANYONE. If they can't follow that they're going to get busted.
The only thing I can think of that you could do for them is tell them that you accidentally mentioned it to someone (with no names mentioned of course) and that person turns out to be a narc. Tell them the guy started asking a bunch of questions and he can probably guess who the players are.
Maybe that way they'll think the game is up and they better not go ahead.

Or tell them that someone was asking you about the grow saying they heard about it from someone else and it seem really sketchy(say it was a narc or a cop?). At least that way they won't be pissed at you for telling someone about there grow

I never confirmed nor denied what the officer said to me, just laughed, not really knowing what to say in response. As far as I know, only a few people know, the few people who frequent the house on the regular, but that group of people is enough that I'm convinced someone will have let it spill to the wrong person eventually. I don't think they've made any cash investment yet, except maybe the seeds. I dunno, I guess I'll try to bring it up and hope they listen.

Never tell anyone. I had the pleasure of cultivating high quality bud for seven years, told the wrong guy, he got pinched, sniched me, my wife and I both did time, huge fines, probation that sucks, bust worst is a felony drug record. In some places there is no differetiation between say, cooking meth or growing plants. It all fits nicely into " manufacturing a controlled substance. I was looking at 27 years for 138 plants, now that is clones, mothers, vegging plants, flowering, blah in the us, wanna grow go legal. If I were you I'd steer clear. My operation was in a seperate address and my g/f (wife now) was still charged with three felonies ( plead to one ) bad biZniss

Dang dude, that really blows. I know how easily it can all go down, and the harsh penalties that are incurred when it does, that's why I'm kind of freaking out for my friends.

When we were arrested she was my g/f. She told mr prosecutor to "get fucked I knew nothing" and took a charge rather than testify against the Clyde to her Bonnie. We were married directly after I was released as we were charged as coconspiatorscand would not legally be allowed to live together. That was nearly 3 years ago we now have bored Jr and a small sustainable homestead.

Distance, either they quiet their intention or they disappear and money and profile that could, (and could not have), been theirs will be continued in a legal manner and given to their local court or state if they are unfortunate enough to be taken as such.
Keep distance. You can tell them to be quiet, but there is only so much past that you would be able to do to help them. In the meantime, keep your distance as much as possible if you have anything that may come back to you.

Tell them straight up what you told us, fuck bring them to this thread even. And then if they still want to be idiots it's out of your hands, you did what you could.
