I didnt get busted but.. long story short I had just moved out of my moms with my girlfriend. I was growing big there in the basement. Me and her had a terrible relationship, she had a drinking problem and I would cheat a lot. One night when she was drunk we got in an argument and the police showed up. They took me to my moms and told me to stay there for a few days for us to cool down. I was finishing up 16 4' tall kush plants in the basement. The house stank, had no exhaust fan or filter or anything. So after they dropped me off I went and passed out for a couple hours. I wake up to 2 officers at my moms door. Turns out she had told them I was growing at my moms and they had to wait to send a different unit so it didnt seem suspicious. I later found this out from my lawyer in a different matter.

When I spoke to them they said they had reason to believe I was growing weed there. I said "I don't even live here, this is my mothers house. Me and my girlfriend just got in a fight so I am staying here for a few nights. I smoke weed so I can see someone complaining about a smell of marijuana but I most def. am not growing any weed here."

They then asked if they could come in and take a look. I said "This is my mother's residents and she is not home right now so I legally can't allow you into her home without permission from her first as I am not the home owner. You are more then welcome to call her and ask her yourself." They called and she obviously didn't answer. They kept trying to get me to let them in and say that we wont charge anyone we will just cut the down and take them out of the house, you dont want us to come back with a warrant do you.

I just continued to tell them it is not up to me. This is not my home and I'm sure my mother would not appreciate strangers in her house while she is not home. They left her a message and said they would be back in an hour with a warrant. My mother knows not to answer any number she doesn't know. People will leave a message if it is important. They left a patrol car a few doors down in a grocery store parking lot, as i noticed when i went to grab smokes. I was tripping out so I ended up cutting everything down early and hanging it in my moms shed with a lock on it. They never came back or called my mom again. If they are smart they knew thats exactly what I would do once they left. But, they wouldnt have any charges to lay to meet their stupid monthly quota.

Moral of the story (which I'm sure all of you older guys and long time growers know) trust women the least. Guys will more likely just try to steal it. They are more predictable lol. Was a lesson for me.

I got busted for 4 plants.

I needed some work doing to change where my closet door was located. From one bedroom into another.

A friend helped me out with the construction.

That same friend knew another guy who was growing and obviously had spoken about the work we'd carried out in my room.

The "grower" guy gets busted and rolls on as many people as possible to try and get himself out of the shit.

He got 18 months jail time for 12 plants with intent to supply.

I got a caution and 4 hours of my time wasted (and hot fuzz' time) I didn't rat anyone out and now ive been growing for longer after being busted than I did before I was busted lol.

It's that number1 rule that always gets over looked.

Don't fucking tell anyone.

A tip thought, is never open your door to talk to pigs.
Crack a window or better just speak loudly through it.
If they can't hear you, then tell them to have a dispatcher call you or come in when they have a warrant.

Once upon a time not so long ago I was 1-2 weeks away from cutting down a delicious bunch of girls, smelly full of chrystals buds, the kind that smoke you silly. Well just happens my ex and I were in the midst of big arguments, which happened every time she got drunk and this particular night she went completely nuts, shouting screaming slamming doors, attacking me. I was absolutely sure my neighbors would call the cops. I had to do something quick.

I threw her out, cut down all my plants, stuffed them in a bag, left the air circulating so that most of the smells were rid of, dropped the bag at a pals place and returned home to find the cops just getting there. Just as I thought, the neighbors had done it. I was lucky to have acted so quickly and not try to hide them plants. She picked her shit up with the help of cops, still naive of the situation she had put me through, and left. I cannot emphasize this enough, do not trust women. Most of the time (I find) the cops take the womans side and look for any reason to bust your ass as they did with me. With me they thought they found some drugs on the table, quickly turns out it was just painkillers so they really had nothing on me.

Don't tell anyone about ur grow and don't keep an alcoholic gf in the house.

there was a story on the local news about a guy that got busted. he ordered some synthetic pot. when he signed for the package they arrested him, also in his package there was seeds he had also ordered. then searched his house and found 4 small plants grow op. they were after the synthetic pot, for the locals here it is on the hit list with meth labs. how they knew he ordered it, they didn`t say they did say that there was help from postal officials.

This is in a sense a good tip.. you dont want to complicate things more obviously but in my situation I posted above this is exactly what I should of done hence my entire house stanking like fresh kush. If you open the screen door with the actual front door still shut you can smell it. It was rediculous.. I dont know how they didnt smell it.

Yep, what a crazy fucking 3 years I had with mine. Jesus. Now ladies I hope if any of you are reading this we obviously dont mean that all women are like this or dont trust ANY women, it is simply dont trust ANYONE dont tell anyone, period. If no one knows then no one can use anything against you. I of course have met women over the years that I would trust with a grow if we were together so again its the person not the gender and the karma you surround yourself with.

Well not for growing....
I was caught in a Sting in the 80's by the NY state Police. Someone close to me got busted and he rolled on me as his dealer. I got 5 years probation and restitution and a Felony Rap to boot. Plus they confiscated two cars and about $8000, they took my 75 Chevrolet and my 76 Monte Carlo, fuckers!
But they had me dealing out of both cars, I met the same UC asshole twice and that was my ass. Be wary of NEW FRIENDS.
I moved to a new state kept my head straight for the last 24 years with no serious issues.
I trust my GF, she has as much to lose as I do.
Hope the story helps someone, I lived it.
Bless,
DZ

I was busted with 60 plants and a couple pounds of weed and a 1/4oz of hash. Worst time of my life. A shitty "friend" got busted for a damn ounce and ratted me out. I got 5 years probation, served 3, was released for good behavior and then i immediately moved to a med state. I smoke mainly for medical purposes. Moral of the story is, the person you'd least expect to rat on you will be the one who ruins your life. Don't tell anyone if you're not in a med state. Period.

Thanks for clearing this up pal. Some people happen to be too self-centered to care about your grow or the legal consequences, or are nasty enough to use it against you. Add some alcoholism into the mix and you've got a disaster in the works. This can be very troubling when you're in a relationship and care for someone, but there's no point in burning yourself.

Only in northern Mexico
and southern Canada
are druggies afraid of the cops,
elsewhere on this great green plant
the cops fall into line like everyone else,
or pay the price
