let me ask this question, not only to you my friend, but to everyone here at RIU.
Now, if you dont live in a Med State, and you decide to start a grow, is the law one of the first things that pop into your head? As in, when your like, im going to start a grow, wether it be for personal use or for profit, are you like, ok, here are the laws in my area. Im gonna grow THIS many plants, and if i get busted, heres what will happen to me....
And then once you say that to yourself, and realize the risk your about to take, Do you tell yourself that the pros definitely outweigh the cons, and decide to grow, and if you get caught, you accept responsibility for your actions??
My advice is, unless you know the FULL ramifications for your actions, you shouldnt be growing pot in the 1st place. Even if you had 10 plants goin n you were trying to make some money from it, you could still potentially yield a lb or two every month or so, you just have to know what your doing. In my state its a 100 buck fine if you have under 100 grams growing. If its under a 1000 grams, you get a fine, plus probation. Anything over a 1000 grams is dumb to do anyways. No matter how much you wanna think your a weed baron, your not. None of us are Kaiser Soze, none of us are George Jung. We need to learn to keep shit as minimal to our needs as possible, and not get greedy. And IF you do get popped, its something that you already planned that might happen in your future.
I know itll still be disappointing, but at least by expecting it, you will have saved money for a lawyer, should you need one, and have emergency cash for the family to get by on while you start your shit all over again, and try to rebuild what youve been doing all this time to make money, or to supply yourself with medicine for the rest of your life.
If i ever get busted (knock on wood), ill go quietly, cuz its the law, and until its changed, they will always be right n well always be wrong. But the second that im back out, im gonna go right back to growing. Why?? Cuz Fuck um, Thats Why.
For future reference, you need to prepare for shit like that, and save yourself a little grip of money, so you and your family dont suffer from the loss, and so you have cash to rebuild your grow. Its just somethin that comes with the territory man, Illegal grows and cops kinda go hand in hand. But the majority of us growers do get lucky, and are fortunate enough to never have to see a cop run through our houses - n thats ideal, but if the shit ever does hit the fan,i know that ill be ready for it - how about you guys??
