Hanky said:

How did the cops find out about you?

---

this is all the doing of a judas bastard that i stupidly once called my friend
strange how on the friday before the bust i had a disagreement with a certain person, then on the wednesday morning i get raided, its far too much of a coincidence...

its not my neighbours or anything like that, im on good terms with everyone round here.

no light "leaks" and no physical evidence outside the property to suggest anything out of the ordinary.

i have been growing on and off for years without any problems.

dam sally's were going to be delivered...devastating...

relax cheesie, i got the salvia plants back 2 days after i was busted, they are doing ok, just a little leaf curl but i will sort that out before i send

btw i did say "if they are dead" just covering my ass man

durban_poison said:

are they going to press charges for the cacti, or doing tests to see if mescaline is present?

---

nah man they are 100% legal here,
i had an interesting conversation with drug squad about my "other" plants, they didnt know wot they were dealing with at first... i had to explain and give them all the botanical names...
so yup, they are perfectly aware that they contain certain alkaloids, but also aware that they cant do fuck all about it until i start extracting said alkaloids...
hence they returned all my cacti last friday also... some were quite badly damaged though
i'll post up pics of my raped collection later, i have it all photographed and logged as part of my compensation claim to the bastards!

ive been to the cop shop today to collect part of my lighting rig up, associated electrical items and my pc...
yeah they had to give me some of my lights back that were not associated with growing dope

aManEater said:

I'm curious to how they discovered it.. Energy consumption? Heat signatures?

Its almost tempting to set up a massive tomato growing operation in my loft

Now I need to find someone else willing to trade in the uk

Mead said:

let me know what to do about my end of our trade, I have this fossil here waiting for you, but I planned on getting at least another one for ya.

---

nice one mead,
so far as im concerned nothing has changed with our agreement

Does that actually happen? I've heard it from dozens of people, but always disregarded it as paranoia, since running extremely powerful heat seeking equipment from helicopters doesn't seem like a financially efficient way to stop people growing plants.

kadakuda said:

glad to see you are ok, right?  no jail or anything serious?  hope it didn't cripple any of your plans.  still got that greenhouse planned?

---

mhmmm im all good man, dont think that this shit will get me down

its not been the best of weeks... i got caught up in a fatal car accident yesterday morning also... fuel tanker lost its brakes coming down a hill and ploughed into a queue of stationary cars... so u can imagine the carnage that followed...

the bust has set me back a bit but not alot...
just means no more dope growing until i have relocated, im actually planning to leave the uk after all this shit has blown over.
hoping to get myself a place in holland with a bit of land and some greenhouses where i can grow my own supply and not be bothered...

fortunately first time offenders dont get locked away for growing dope in this country!
im just grateful that i am not in america, but if i was i wouldnt be growing weed considering the penalties there!

coda said:

glad to hear you got most of gear back.  What are the legal repercussions for you growing cannabis?  Facing anything serious?

---

nothing too serious man, all the prisons here are full so they dont have enough space to accomodate me... lol
so im probably looking at a BIG fine and a load of hours of community service, something like that...
it all depends on wot exactly the charges are, if its just cultivation its not so bad. but obviously the cunts are trying to pin dealing on me too, but they havent got enough evidence for that, i know. i didnt have any money in the house so...

i forgot to mention that they got my stash of shrooms too! so that is probably more serious then the weed.
mushrooms = class A, weed = class C.

i gotta go back in june and find out exactly wot the charges are, shame i will be in paris on the day they want me to go back, oh well

Nast said:

Fucking great that not all of your collection was fucked! Welcome back man!

---

good to be back man, although i didnt go anywhere, just waiting for my pc back hehe...
hmmm well not all my cacti are fucked but alot of my lophs were uprooted and came out of the pots due to wank transportation methods...
its my taller trichs that have suffered most, they were completely uprooted and alot of roots have broken off... when i got them back they were piled up on top of one another
so i had an extremely long spined tricho on top of a nice crested pachanoi specimen, so u can imagine the state of the crest now, grrrrrrr...

and btw... the cops did take my pc, but they never looked at it...
so there will be no come back for anyone i have communicated with online.

i found out today that the police in my area have an 18 month back log of pc's to check so no worries there
