Well I wasn't shot or violent apprehended and they didn't smash the doors and walls so definitely not the USA.

We bought our house a couple years ago, before that we were renting it. Didn't know the landlords when we moved in, but they were always like half a degree of separation from us in various social circles. Always just figured they wouldn't WANT to know anything about anything, as that would certainly be my position. But they hired a guy in the neighborhood as property manager, because they'd moved far away (hence the renting their house out). He was obviously VERY curious. We walked by his house one time when he was in the yard, and he made a big deal of showing us his datura plants lol.

Well, yeah, there’s that side of things, but it's not just that. If cops are doing you a solid here, and trying to avoid paperwork, it's just a whole lot of looking the other way and not commenting on stuff. Very nudge-nudge-wink-wink. Like, they'd just straight-up pretend the tent wasn't there or some shit.

Yeah, I actually have recurrent nightmares about this exact scenario

Perhaps they were always premonitions? (jk)


The nightmare becomes reality

But I usually have everything packed away just incase something like this does happen, but I was only out for about 3 hours when the water exploded and I had all my ready pours just about to go in the PC.

A series of unfortunate events.

Fucking nanny state


So terrified of agar in plastic tubs they simply had to phone the police, a simple message asking me would have sufficed


Yeah, pretty crummy.

Was it maybe an attempt to cover their own asses?

I'd be gorilla fucked by local PD in this situation. Small town, ruralish area. My cops aren't experienced and tired, they're bored and hungry. I would absolutely make the newspaper, unfortunately.

Well loads of people have grow tents anyway, not loads, but probably a fair few. Nothing illegal about indoor plants growing,

The call they got, they probably thought it was a drug lab or something, it does look like a lab, I've got my alcohol bottles out, unlabeled liquid soap, the stacked tubs, the Hawkins big boy 22/21? Liter, I was cleaning my draws and cupboards out as well so there was bags of lemon balm, oat straw, holy basil out and other junk.

But when the police arrive, it's was pretty tidy, just the lab stuff out, and I've got hundreds and hundreds of cacti seedlings out under led strips too anyway, as well as the big tent, and cacti on the windows. So seeing all that it's not really an issue, and I was friendly and accommodating, as I've nothing to hide.


Still though it's very spooky, I wonder how many people have been caught out growing illegal stuff because off stupid stuff like that. 

I read a Reddit thread before, in the USA, someone's landlord phoned the police on them when they saw a cacti grow tents, the police raided and took the cacti and destroyed them, it was a big collection too.

Obviously they cacti grower didn't get in any trouble, they are growing completely legal cacti.

tl:dr, this guy was growing weed in Washington, DC in the bad old days. Got a room-mate who knew how to grow mushrooms. The room-mate turned out to be a psycho, and sat on the phone running his mouth, eventually just to the operator. Made a bunch of death threats to the president and other officials. So the Secret Service paid them a visit, no warrant needed.

What a wild ride, dude got off so lucky on so many occasions. I don't see how people can grow drugs and deal like that, i think the paranoia would drive me to psychosis, I already get paranoid about doing completely legal things, heaven forbid to be so brazenly breaking the law out and about

DC is a weird place, always has been. You might have gathered from the story that nobody local really cared all that much about what this guy was doing. He got sloppy and happened to run into that one undercover cop, or maybe that kid was on the hook and setting HIM up in the first place. It was only getting caught by the feds- and then charged in Federal Court- that really screwed him. Even with the brazen weed farm.

Things have come a long way in the past 30 years. Anything we'd really care about here is effectively decriminalized, or de facto legalized, in DC. But there's still always the presence of Federal law enforcement and the possibility of Federal charges- even moreso now that the current administration has taken measures to make the city "safer." Entirely possible that we'll come full circle, in the interest of "public safety."

Oh, yeah, and about that Brownsville part:

I took a bus from Brownsville that went through that checkpoint at around the same time this article was published. It was mental. They pulled a fuckton of drugs off that bus. Several giant duffel bags from the luggage compartment that the dogs were going apeshit over, and bricks of weed and coke from the overhead bins that I literally saw the agents carrying off as they walked past my seat, looking like they were holding a stack of laundry. No arrests made. I wonder how much of that actually made it into evidence. It was only then that I fully grasped how much of a corrupt shell game the entire war on drugs was.

Well shit, I'm left holding the bag at work. Picked up a trailer, noticed one axle wasn't turning within 100m of the yard, drove another 200m trying to unstick the brake and turned around. Shop found tires completely worn down to the steel bands. There is no way that the tire would be wrecked so bad in such a short distance. Most likely, who ever drove the trailer last missed the issue and parked it with the tires already fucked. I'm the one who's going to get the writeup FML

I've come close to getting hemmed up a few times. Lady luck always by my side. I made an attempt to grow boomers several years ago. The results were not what I was hoping for. Was going to try again. Bought what I needed to learn agar, a MSS (PE6), and some more mail-order grain bags. Well, I had a house fire. The part of the house where my hobby was taking place was unscathed by the fire. Had this happened much later, I may have had some tubs going. The timing was too close.

That sucks bro. I agree, 600m don’t wear a tire that bad. Sad thing is someone drove it like that and you had to notice it and take the heat. People suck man. I’ll refer to the 3rd part of KlarnEvil9’s signature. Never a statement so true.

Possibly my worst fear is losing stuff to fire. I hope this wasn’t to devastating to you and your family and that you are in a better place today.

Only loss of material things and damage to my relationship with my lady. The relationship damage came during the "rebuild". That's a long story. We are ok, but it's not like it once was.

And I have no doubt that an ex-lover would be a threat!

For local cops: At the end of the day, if you don’s sell to an undercover cop and you’re not ever selling anything from your house they can’t just blow your door because they “think” you’re doing something. Even if someone rats you out they can’t come in. Only way to get caught is by selling to an undercover or possession during a stop. Once one of those two things happens they can get a warrant for your house. I know this because I dealt with it firsthand when I was a dipshit. I’m still a dipshit, just a smarter dipshit! 😂

For feds: your door gets blown and they have a years worth of evidence on you.

But for the landlord thing, did you just have shit laying all over the place or did he go into closets and whatnot?
