How do growers get caught?
    #18931129 - 10/04/13 01:02 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

No need to answer from personal experience, especially if its incriminating, but how do people growing shrooms get caught by the law?
Does the DEA have a special task force devoted to shrooms? :confused:

You know how the old saying goes... the only way that three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead.

In particular, you MUST resist the temptation tell your GF/SO about your grow. Don't try and cover it up with some B.S. about growing edibles. If she finds out or asks you about it, you MUST toss it.

We all know that women love to talk. Even if they have nothing interesting to discuss, they'll talk about the stupidest shit for hours--and a juicy nugget like your grow will surely be a nice topic to chat about with her BFF's over some potato skins on girls night out.  As my old friend used to say, "There's three ways to get the word out on something: telephone, telegraph, and tell-a-woman."

In addition, sooner or later you're going to do something stupid that enrages her. If she knows about your grow, it's a remarkably easy way for her to get revenge. One phone call is grounds for a search warrant, and a  good felony charges kick-in-the-ass for you. There is nothing in this world more vengeful and vindictive than a jilted woman.

Admittedly sexist, but unfortunately, true.

Quote:

Friedrich Nietzsche said:
In revenge and in love, woman is more barbarous than man







Nothing like a Neitzsche quote and WWII government propaganda to back up an argument :P. There's plenty of threads scattered around both this forum and the 'net by panicked guys with grows concerned about their GF/SO blowing the whistle. I'm too lazy to hunt them down, but they shouldn't be too hard to find with a little searching.

:heart: :chicken:

I see it every day on facebook.

Never heard of anyone getting busted that way.  I post lots of psilocybin mushroom pics to facebook, though I don't grow...

Someone posted a pretty nice bulk grow to the shroomery facebook group today.

There's a Shroomery FB group?  :curbyourenthusiasm:

Growers also get caught by growing bows and selling them to sketchy people

Yes there is :smile:

Lots of people post pics of psilocybin mushrooms in their natural habitat on fb.  I do not consider that too dangerous sincce there is no evidence that you picked them.

Posting grows is more risky.    It would be smart to post something like "I was visiting a friend and he showed me some mushrooms!", which would make it less likely that a judge would agree to sign off on a warrant for your house.

In any case the people posting grows on facebook are the low hanging fruit.  A wise old chinese man once told me "you do not need to be able to outrun the bear.  you just need to be able to outrun your friends."

Yes, he is able to see you if he is a moderator of this forum. Whether or not he has to a moderator in this specific section of the forum, I do not know. But Mod's and Admins are able to see you if you are simply posting using the " annon " function, in my understanding. Correct if wrong.

Jesus Christ, you're not lying. What a TERRIBLE idea to post evidence of a felony on something immediately/easily linkable to a real-world name/identity.

It's pretty easy to have a "non-linkable" account if someone has the tiniest bit of discipline.. but I'm not seeing that.

Better them than me, though.

I know in the US drug laws vary wildly state to state, but in the UK, mushrooms are classified "A", the same as smack, crack, meth and cocaine.  This means a simple PF TEK cake is technically as bad an offence as is possible (manufacture of class A substance).  Now get an ignorant magistrate/judge, and you're in the dock for producing ounces of class A substances.

The realistic part of me says that a UK copper would be embarrassed to bust someone for shrooms only, and no experienced magistrate classifies shrooms alongside crack.  The paranoid part says making your grow semi public give the police a massive lever to place under you should they ever want to.

This is why I think posting grow pics to FB or even the shroomery is a bad idea - it offers little gain and potential pain.
