in case you were wondering if this is still happening it is. My local shop was survailed and several people raided. I SHOP AT THIS STORE. The only thing I have going for me is that I live in an adjacent state not the one the shop is in. I'm going to assume they watching me now. I don't put anything in the trash and don't sell. Is there anything else I should do?

Well there goes my trip........Damn I needed some supplies too!
Gotta question for you guys are these shops just conventional garden shops inquiring minds want to know? In my neck of the woods I'm hard pressed to find fox farm product's nothing that I would really worry about purchasing.....I'm just inquisitive as to how this happens. What is being purchased the draws the suspicion of law enforcement? Is it the products that are being purchased or the amounts that come into question ?

the report said DEA was sitting on the store. Person came out with a small bag (turns out to be 16oz bottle of fert) DEA tailed her home and began investigation. That's all it took. Going to the store. DEA searched her trash and found stem (dumb) and checked her power usage "higher than her neighbors" and 3 weeks later raided. They said they've charged 10 other people who shopped at the store so this is an ongoing thing.

Where is this not happening ??

Every week or so it's another store, usually 1 that specialises in hydro/air , but sometimes just a standard farm supply

theirs a hydro store that just opened next to me , and they are pretty busy see people daily humping boxes out ....... might as well ask for trouble

The exact thing they were doing at Green Circle hydro back in kansas over 10 years ago. Like seriously, think about it, 90% of the customers will be buying stuff for one thing. Cops like an easy bust, for christ's sake, don't hand them yourself on a silver platter. If you're going to get busted, don't let the story be something you're going to be ashamed of in prison. ;)

this report is from 2013, the D.E.A doesn't do raids on MJ any more.

They operate in legal states if one is trafficking over state lines or selling on the black market.

They might leave alone those operating within their state laws.

Yeah, that article said for legal medical. If they're smart they'd leave everyone alone in medical states. Illinois is now a medical state so hopefully no more raids. However, I won't be risking it. Online only from here out for me.

Just don't go home after the visit to the hydro store. Go get some wings and a few beers somewhere, then go to target, the grocery store, etc. Also, look out your rear view mirror a few times and see if some fuck smack is following you.

Rule of thumb again- buy your shit from Amazon or don't be an idiot
