1000 bags is not a lot of heroin.
Just a note,
Obama Care gives addict's free Suboxen in order to help them kick Heroin. It's covered in the free insurance plans you get no matter your financial situation.
I hope it helps people because I didn't have that opportunity when I was addicted to Opiate's and uninsured.

niteman said: Well im not the most experienced in the heroin trade but I do know people that have been caught with large amounts of cocaine or marijuana that get off for personal becauwe it wasn't bagged. Granted this is like an ounce or two of blow and the other guy had a pound but they argued in court that they bought it in bulk because it was cheaper. I'm not saying it WOULD work with a kilo but you sure as shit couldn't use that defense if you had 28 one gram bags of blow as opposed to an oz in one bag.
As far as it coming in a bunch of different bags when purchased wholesale, I would never buy shit like that because it is easier to get ripped but I also don't sell heroin. For good reason too.
I have a funny feeling that successfully arguing that your ounce of cocaine was "personal use" is a pretty highly circumstantial thing. A lot of people have gotten "intent to distribute" charges for less weight.
Furthermore, I can actually believe that some people out there could have ounces of coke for personal use. I've seen people buy amounts approaching that for a head-stash. However, due to the extreme discrepancy in active dose (and the fact that coke users tend to just keep using more, and more, and more, whereas you simply can't do that with heroin) means that even one ounce of heroin is actually tons of the drug, whereas one ounce of coke is a goodly chunk, but nothing spectacular.
I have never known a junkie to buy that much heroin for personal use. Ever. Not to say it couldn't happen... but if it does, it's exceedingly more rare than someone buying that much coke just for fun.

As far as people stealing electricity for grows, one of the reasons they do it, is to avoid the power company reporting a suspiciously large spike in electricity usage to the police. Of course the downside is, if you get caught by the power company, you get busted for more charges.
Power companies virtually never report high usage or large spikes in use. There are way too many people who legitimately use $500 or more of power per month and $1000 in a month is far from unheard of. What happens is the pigs get a tip, ask for power records and use that to try to snow a judge into giving a search warrant.
OTOH, stealing power will get you busted every time if you do it more than a month here and a month there. They know how much power they produce and how much is paid for. Minus losses in transmission which are well known, the rest is theft. They use their meters and find what part of the city has a lot of losses, then narrow it down to neighborhoods. Finally, they narrow it down to a house. They don't have to see anything from the street but if they do they report that too. They present the info to the cops who are eager to get a warrant since they know most theft is for growing and no matter what they stole it for, its a crime.
Pay your electric bill, do not allow smells to be present outside, avoid talking or showing, do not buy from hydro stores by mail, do it in person and go in and out the back. Do that and don't tell anyone and you will be fine. Most busts are from theft, from dealing out of the home or from telling/ showing someone. Fools can't resist bragging and end up paying for it when the gf breaks up and turns them in. Unless you have a $1200+ monthly bill in a one bedroom, they are not going to detect you that way.
Other things to avoid are tossing out leaves, stems, etc in your trash. They look for that first when they get a tip. Other things to avoid is having grow equipment in your yard including used grow rocks, bags of dirt or perlite, etc. Use an ozone generator and vent into the attic or use a good carbon filter and maintain it regularly. If you can't be bothered to do it right don't do it at all.
