Paranoia...!

Honestly, it seems most small scale busts get discovered from other shit that makes the cops show up. Home drama, mistaken identity, just plain bad luck.

"Hello sir, we we're wondering if you saw anything going on last".... Sniff sniff.

I get paranoia so bad. My imagination is frighteningly awesome.

i got some sativa here thatl make the most laid back guy a paranoid freak lol....it kinda sucks when it happens but its part of the ride

Use cash only to purchase equipment neva use your own card for seeds or anythink to do with growing!!
Choose were you want to ave your op carefully no were that is busy or that has peeps comin and going regularly and the police know of illegall activity!!
And last but not least if your growin to sell on make sure u know who your selling to and only have that 1 person to offload it to remember the more you av to break it down the more of a risk your takin by being caught!!
I ve been growin properly for well over 15 years but id say seriously growin for 10 years and av always followed these rules and not had any probs with the law up untill now why i guess a bit of good luck and i neva get myself noticed by the law or any other shady charecters for that matter remember neva leave trails behind and you ll b sweet
chedz!!

i only get paranoid when im stoned, i was talking to a cop two weeks ago with 3kg in box under my arm. as long as you dont act suspicious no one thinks you are. blatant thats me. and i grow in 2 houses.

I think the bigger the equipment, the more you should be paranoid. Everything I'm doing now will be based on using a 400w hps, buying one of those ballast wouldn't make me nearly as paranoid as say a 1000w, or 2000w ballast and bulb. I would be convinced for at least half a year afterwards that I was being watched because I ordered it, and burning any evidence for fear that their searching m y trash.

not that I am against it ... but you would think that the police would prefer less organised crime... therefore growing marijuana for private consumption should be legal

Indeed you would. YTou have to wonder the motives at play when a judge convicts you with the knowledge that now you can't grow, you'll be down into town that evening to go and put a few hundred into a tax free black market. Great work your honour, really tackling the issue.

I'm cautious in that say i won't leave big jars of weed around or i'll close my shutters before i turn my room into a golden fury of light, but i'll happily buy from anywhere etc. They can get all the hunches they like as to my hobbies but until i give them a piece of evidence that would grant them a warrant, there's little they can do but speculate. It's a lot easier to be free of paranoia if you undertand your legal position.

keep yourself and your house clean and neat.

dress nice.

that way no one will notice you (and your neighbors wont think you are someone to watch carefully)

no one can tell you are stoned if you dont act like it.

you look at most bit tired.

people dig relaxed people anyway (so just chill and go with the fact you are bit slow now)

does anyone know about the grow you dont trust?

if not, then just forget about it.

stop listening to cars go by, stop listening for choppers or people passing by.

if no one knows about the grow, no one knows about it.

soon these noises will just become that.

are you smoking in a safe place? (no one can smell it that shouldnt, even if you have to go to the door)

if not, then why not?

you are gonna meet cops (the other day someone broke into the storage room of this house (many tenants) we of course called the cops, i was stoned as fuck but just talked to the cops (how they gonna know anything?))

if your smells arent there to alarm other folks, your behavior isnt criminal, your looks and your house looks nice and neat (like normal people you dont have to worry about)

whats there to worry about?

if you are paranoid about buying, start growing, its much easier and safer (dont have to meet criminals all the time (humm, though selling weed isnt criminal, often these guys act as fences as well and use violence to collect debts and are connected to other things (often, not everyone)) (humm often its these extra criminal activities that get the attention of the cops (and you in the middle)

just dont grow larger than you can handle (i myself am in bit of work now, need to upgrade my smell elimination system (its not a problem but might become it(actually really doubtful, but why take a chance if you dont have to?)

still get paranoid sometimes, but im not jumping at windows or anything like that, i have no need to.

could also say something to yourself like "the police are never gonna enter this house" (if it feels true as you say it, you are golden)

thought to share with y all who live in california state...i found the information regard law in case if the pigs discover the grow in your property, they will follow the book...heres a link :http://www.canorml.org/camjlaws.html

dont let those pigz outsmart you

happy growing and peace

If the police are scoping you out. How long do they look at you to build a case, before they decide to knock your door down?

Oh, and what times do police do fly overs? I heard because of there infer red technology it HAS to be at night. is this true? Is infer red more for outdoor bust?

just never tell anyone anything about it,not even close friends or family, always be aware of your light shining out a window if you open your grow room or tent ,Always think ahead about people who might be coming into your property and hide your shit for them coming, keep your house clean and tidy with no evidence you smoke pot lying around.If you aren't legal you'd be better sticking to 2 or 3 plants as they easier to hide than a full room of them...keep all these rules and you don't need to stress ,if noone knows noone can narc you out ,as for flyovers by the cops, keep your light modest 1 400 - 600 watt light will not emit any more heat signature than a tumble dryer ,oven ,hot shower or hot water tank , the infra red thing is really only going to realisticly bust big grow ops because the whole house stands out like a sore thumb with all the extra heat.don't grow in the loft either.

i wouldn't be so paranoid, if everyone wasn't out to get me......

Google is a wonderful thing. Research FLIR. Get to know and understand the technology and you'll get to know your enemy.



I avoid the Hydroponics Shop here like the plague. There is nothing that can be bought there that cant be had elsewhere, more than likely cheaper. It is nothing for the cops to sit outside and take down plate numbers and take pics. That gives them a starting point to start looking at people with a bit more scrutiny. Don't think that they "won't waste their time" on silly shit like that, because thats what they get paid to do. And they dont give a shit whether or not you are selling. If they catch you with 3 clones, by the time the local press is done with you, your community will believe that you are the next Pablo Escobar.
Why even RISK the police exposure? It's probably safer to buy seed online than just walk into the Hydro Shop in open public view. Obviously, they sell nothing illegal, but the cops know that the vast majority of the clientele at a Hydro Shop is growing pot. If they get 20 names and addresses, and only 50% of those pan out, it was a pretty good day for the cops.
