If at all possible do not grow on what is considered public property. For instance, if you grow on what is considered to be a national forest(it may be one even though its not in the name) it is a much higher jail sentence. look for a place where helicopters wont get it. that happened to me last year. Pick a spot that has no trails and where people wont be like wtf is that guy doin walkin back there. places with lots of green, low shrubery help alot against helicopters.(also dont expose red clay, trash adn equipment) poison ivey, thick brush and thorns are always something that people dont want to walk through. so grow there preferably.
