ABC7Chicago.com: Police burn thousands of pot plants in forest preserve

OMFG idiots! wtf is up with all these bust, its putting heat on us small time survivors! WTH were they thinking growing fields of that shit in a danm reserved area. Sooner or later you'll need a danm license to buy freaking garden supplies.

there were just one of these bust in dallas about 7 acres they say on cnn not even a wk ago. They found it when some construction people move in to do some work on a site. Wth are these people thinking going guerilla with other people(LEO) properties. WTF is wrong with them.

Problem is that its usually illegal mexican hired to come over and grow and most are not to bright and have no idea of Americas technological force.They do things to open as if in Mexico and think no one will say anything.I saw all the activity this was about 15 minutes from home and you could always smell it in the air over that way.I knew it had to be alot of plants so I stayed away from that preserve as I figured it was a more secure op and didnt wann find its owners lol.Good thing is when dummies get caught it keeps the man busy with idiots lol

Damaging The Forest! Wtf!

Now i am really against illegals!!!!

Tuesday, July 24, 2007
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Pinellas Sheriff's deputies say they've confiscated five pot plans and 11 seedlings from the home of a Largo High School teacher.

33-year-old Richard Montgomery Smith is charged with the pot growing enterprise. But investigators say Smith inists the pot was for his own use and not part of any drug business.


Detectives say they also found inside Smith's 46th Avenue North house pot growing equipement, like fertilizer, fluorescent lights and a hydroponic growing system.

Smith teaches Spanish at Largo High. The Pinellas school district says it has launched its own internal affairs investigation into the case, but has not suspended Smith.

Deputies dismantle Pasco grow house



NEW PORT RICHEY – Pasco County deputies are dismantling what they say is an elaborate marijuana grow house that was discovered on Osceola Drive in New Port Richey, and it may be just a part of a larger operation.
Narcotics officers say they've found at least two grow houses on Osceola Drive—the first of which is located at Osceola Drive and Lakeview Drive. Another location was found nearby, and 140 marijuana plants were found between the two locations. Officers say they found 25 stalks at a third location, and they are investigating to see if all of them are related.
The street value of the plants that were found on Monday is approximately $200,000.
Officers say the operation at the home on Osceola Drive and Lakeview Drive was extremely elaborate. Investigators say the home had false rooms and a number of pot plants growing inside.
The view from SkyFox showed investigators gutting the home. Dozens of plants had been pulled from the dirt and laid in piles around the yard.
So far, three people have been detained by police in connection to the discoveries.
Investigators with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office and the Pinellas High Intensity Drug-traffic Area task force (HIDA) are working together in investigating the situation. HIDA is a federally-funded organization that goes out into the community and searches for drug distribution enterprises.
More information is expected to be released as the day continues.
