Growers Arrested/Convicted - How often?

I'm curious how often someone who grows mushrooms for personal use ends up getting arrested (and convicted)? I'm not talking about people who sell, or kids whose parents get involved. Is it common? Anyone have specific cases (a friend or self or newspaper, etc. report)? How would someone get caught?

unless you're selling... it's just so easily concealed and discreet that it seems extremely unlikely
I suppose if you have a massive party and the cops show up... and you have your shit out in the open... then perhaps. But even then, unless they have a search warrant (which they shouldn't unless you have some other shady activities going on), they're not allowed to enter your home without consent.
so if you're smart about it... pretty impossible

yea it pretty hard to get caught unless u tell someone or are selling them i mean if its in your closet and u are not doing any other illegal activity's theres a pretty slim chance

Apparently possession of fresh mushrooms in Canada ON is legal, so that means you can grow them. You can only be charged for possession of dried or intend of sale.
But its different everywhere.
And personally i don't know anyone who got busted with mushies. And i know a bit of people.

if you get caught, it's most likely going to be your own fault. just be smart and you won't get caught.
2 things to remember: 1. dont be participating in any activity that could draw police attention to your place. 2. don't tell anyone!
i'd say the biggest reason for people getting busted is that they tell the wrong person about the illegal substances growing in their closet. or they tell someone, who tells someone, who tells someone, and that someone gets you busted. if you simply tell no one, or only people you would absolutely trust would keep their mouth shut, then you'll most likely be fine. also, i dont know your living situation, but while you have your grow going, dont be having any parties at your place, dont be doing anything that could end in police showing up. if you are in an apartment and whenever you smoke pot, it reeks up the hallway, either find a way to cover up the smell, or don't be smoking.

i never throw parties or do anything that could possibly draw the cops near. i keep super low key, only let my closest friends over, and keep windows closed etc. its pretty hard to get caught this way

Lets suppose someone is growing mushrooms and they tell someone, and the word gets back to a person who does not like them. Or suppose a neighbor sees packages of mushroom growing supplies constantly arriving at one's address. Can they really do anything? I mean can they go to the cops and say "this guy is growing illegal mushrooms" and have the cops do anything about it? Unless, or course, some other illegal activity or disturbance is also occurring?

it's impossible to know how many people get away with it. it's a lot though. i grew for years and finally got busted because i'd sold some a few months earlier (i wasn't growing at the time) to a CI and they waited to make the bust. people who get busted usually do because they get sloppy at the grow location - smoking pot, leaving stuff in plain sight, etc. that or they talk to much.

So long as you DON'T tell anyone about your hobby Don't deal, stay low key & cool about it. It is safer than pot smoking, in a closet.

it depends on who's mouth, and on the judge hearing the warrant request, but yes, it's possible.

Pretty much every 60 seconds, I think. I forget the exact number, it's something like that
