Have you been busted for growing?
    #23528316 - 08/10/16 01:58 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hey guys I'm bored and as it's been lately I've been reading on here.

Time after time you can read about someone getting busted for growing whether it be their stupidity, bad luck, a rat, whatever.
One thing I've yet to see is follow-up.

I'd like to hear your "I got busted growing" story if you've been busted and are here to tell the tale.

I know they could really stick it to you if they wanted and the news articles tend to list the worst case scenarios but I'm curious what punishments people have actually wound up with.

Nope but I came pretty close yesterday. Im out in the country so I got my plants in big pots just chilling in the backyard. The cops came by yesterday looking for someone and I almost didnt get up and answer the door, because fuck who ever comes by at 9am right? They knocked thrice and then I heard them start heading to the back. Luckily my window was open and I caught them before they got within eyesight of them. Silly cops, never even knew.

I have about 75 outside in the ground right now.    We put a chain at the end of our driveway so people can't just pull in.   

But i'm also in the mountains too,  not many people or traffic so I don't really need to worry about it.    And most people that live where I do grow as well.


Plus we are covered under our plant count, so legally the cops can't do anything any way.

I've never been busted growing, but I know of another member here who has.  The thread linked below has an article about his bust, and then years later the guy himself updates on what happened to him in regards to charges/jail time.

I got busted growing 89 plants with my dad in 1994. It sucked! They flew over with a helicopter and within 30 seconds the property was filled with dozens of swat vehicles and agents pointing guns and yelling at me. I didn't want to deal with probation and so I lived as a fugitive for 5 years until the DA retired. The new DA threw out my case and I was suddenly free with no strings.

That's some luck right there :thumbup:

Around here the cops finding someone with an eighth is a big deal.
I could just imagine the jail time for that many plants.. I'd definitely be ducking out too.

Never been busted growing.  Around here it's weight and not plant count unless Feds get you.  Dry, wet doesn't matter, 1 to 5 years for a kilo.  5 to 8 years for making hash.  Imagine that, just knocking of trichs and your getting a nickel.

When I was a kid my mom was busted for growing, had to go live with my dad for a few years :sad:

The cops claimed one of our neighbors "heard fans in our garage" and reported it...

:facepalm3:

When I was even younger my dad was busted trying to smuggle weed into Canada with a friend too :lol:

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Thanks for sharing.

I'm not growing currently because of where I live.
Back when I owned my own place it was fair game but now that I rent and with how many issues this place has/times the landlord has to come in, I don't feel comfortable with it but I remember back when I had grown mushies in the past and worrying about "what if".

I'm not sure why but thinking about that yesterday got me wanting to read some bust stories and that one is particularly what I was hoping to see.
Sounds like he could have been utterly ruined and got off relatively light. No jail time/probation of course would be better but glad to see they didn't "throw the book at him" as they say.

I truly miss growing. I might start up some oysters for eating.
There's something magical about it and no that's not a pun for magic mushrooms.
It's just awesome watching it ever so slowly come to life and then wake up one morning to a bunch of pins and from there a canopy. Not that any of mine were that great (MS inoculations) but it's still damn neat.

Be safe folks.
