Sorry to hear dog. Hope it works out for you. Sending some good Karma your way. Hopefully your judge burns. Truth is if your growin you better come to the realization your number may be called 1 day. Whether micro or commercial. My advice to all is don't do more than you can handle. If you don't think you can do the time pick a new hobby or profession. I am cautious but I love the dank so much I am willin to do some time behind it. That's just me. I'll tell you what i sleep alot better at night. But hold your head bruh there are sacrifices made in every revolution!
 
Well guys, nothing yet.......Should hear something by the mid or end of August. I am so missing my garden, seriously addicted to grow and having withdrawals. I resented the plant when I got busted, but wish so bad I had my garden back. fuck fuck fuck.....All is good otherwise, I am getting some inside info from a friend that works with the task force but he is a bullshitter and Im not getting my hopes up on his intel. Word is they may not recommend the case for prosecution, but they have 3 years to indict me and Im not holding my breath, this shit sucks.

The DEA guy told me that if he knew the amount of cash I had and the size of my operation they would not have even bothered to tag along, my lawyer says that it is better to deal with the feds because my state has a hard on for being tough on drug offenders thanks to John Ashcroft.
 
i'm sorry this happened to you. shitty life lesson (you won't make the same mistake) seems like your going to get off pretty good with what could have been at least 5 years of your life. hang in there man, keep us updated.:ying:

To the initial poster of this message.

I have only read this sparsely.

Something occurs to me:

1) You are involved in an ACTIVE federal criminal investigation against you for multiple years in a federal prison facility.

2) You are actively posting about this case on a pre-eminent marijuana reform website.

3) The feds are not stupid. They have to know about this site. Good diligence almost requires it.

4) There is a SIGNIFICANT potential for you or ANYONE on this site to post something untoward about your case or you.

5) See number 3

6) Then you're PROPER FUCKED.

If I was involved in an active federal criminal investigation, the first thing I'd do is destroy everything that has anything to do with my online chicanery. You only have 22 posts, but all it takes is ONE.

I am involved in the legal field and I study language.

From your posting on 07-09-09 at 11:38: The safety valve is basic[al]ly earned by a first time offender... charged with a drug charge. [T]he debriefing is the earning part, you have to tell all about your crime, well, all that they need to know anyway. As far as they know[,] I am a solo act. Emphasis Mine.

If I was prosecuting this case and I saw this posting, you can bet that I would be on the phone to the judge, your lawyer and the computer forensics people to dig. You said they didn't seize your computer. That statement might give them reason to look at you digitally, when they were only looking at you physically.

I missed your message on 07-30-09. Same follows for that statement.

I'm not trying to be a dick, although I'm routinely regarded as one by all, including family, just trying to help everyone stay safe from Anslinger's idiocy.
 
thanks for the info, they did not take any computer equipment nor did they ask if I was part of any online forums. my internet service is acquired through a neighborhood free wireless network and the IP cannot be traced to my address. If it was easy for them to find each and every member of an online forum then everybody would be fucked. No information on here that I have posted neither helps or hurts my case, I have disclosed every fact about myself and my illegal activities to the government in my proffer session.

there must be something about the computers that turns them off... because they never looked at mine either when i got raided. im guessing its hard to use anything on them as evidence for various reasons...

You didn't tell them about having the gun in the car with hash when you got busted, did you?

during my proffer session I reaveled that information when I was asked why I gave consent when I knew I had the right not to cooperate, I told them that I chose the less offensive path at the moment rather than them finding the hash and the gun.

I was feeling bad about it even being real, thought it was a "mothers against drunk driving" mother (or some chit) using scare tactics..after reading the whole thread I believe it..sorry for your troubles, I will get a lot of shit for this but i think you did the right thing with the consent... a simple cop lie "officer detected the smell of marijuana from suspects car" would have been all it took..your kid woukda been traumatized for life the pigs and other authoritys would have considered it hostile.

but if you were clean when they stoped you you prolly would have walked...

79towncar i love reading a lot of your post but i disagree with others having to know about a commercial grow maybe a perpetuall comm. grow yes, but if once a year you ran 15-25 watt op why would you need any one to know? even the people you were selling it to would not have to know who you were or what you really looked like.

freedomfighter who is he gonna rat on? BGHYDRO ? seed boutique? might of been his first crop so maybe he had zero dealers buying from him? would they even care about the dealers involved? would the dealers continue selling after word of his bust?




gl chris keep us updated it's all very educational.

It's you muthafucking punk ass rat nigga bitches who inform/cooperate whatever word you want to use for tattling, That helps keep cannabis illegal and allows LEO to rob us.

FUCK YOU PUNKS!

:noway::noway:
i have never been asked to rat because i have never been busted....no need to rat if you already know whats going to happen and take the proper steps before doing the crimes... feel bad u have been rolled on and possibly (DUE TO YOUR ANGERY POST) assraped because of it... just dont talk smack man, where im from some one calls you out like that the best way to prove it is with a capital crime usually with the one talking shit being the victim....

---If 100 people are caught doin serious shit, and face real time, between 95 and 99 are snitchin


This is exactly what keeps the system running.

The prisoner's delimma is simple.

If two people are caught committing a crime and the police catch both of them and place them in separate rooms, they tell both of them "Your buddy just told us the truth, now why don't you make this easy on yourself and tell us the truth and we'll try to help you out..."

If neither of you snitch, you both suffer 1/1. You got caught, spent some time in jail, get released, insufficient evidence.

If you both snitch on eachother, you both suffer 7/7. You got caught, spent 3/4 of your sentence in jail. Case closed.

If one of you snitch, and the other doesn't give up any info, guess what? Then you suffer 0/10, where the snitch does 0 time and the one who remained true to the cause of keeping their mouth shut now serves the full mandatory maximum sentence of 10 for not cooperating.

This is how the system works. 10% loss for working with someone who is not a snitch, 100% loss for working with someone who is a snitch if you're not... and 70% loss for both snitches working together.

Its been boiled down to an exact science.
 
To everyone else sending the good vibes, I really do appreciate, keeping my head up, be safe.

Do you have some kind of proof that he is a snitch? From what I see he's been pretty open regarding his situation.

If you don't have proof, keep the snitch comments to yourself... I hope that's understood.....


Just so you know possible people that can get in trouble for the original posters "cooperation" which really means snitching are people that he has aquired genetics from, people that get product from him which will lead to a dealer getting shaken down to rat on other growers. Thats the tip of the iceberg. With the additional knowledge now gained by the Feds it will be a lot easier for them to continue their war on Cannabis.

Dude they didn't even start the torture and you already caved in. Sorry Hydrochris you are weaksauce....................................

Really mods who deleted my post? Thanks for not even giving me notice. I didn't know the policy of ICMAG was to protect rats. Dude has admitted to telling and when I explain in my usual colorful manner how it hurts everyone to snitch/cooperate yet my post gets binned?

Once again Fuck all the people who snitch.

You said you've been in his shoes. Does that mean you snitched?

Nope. But I have been to prison and have been on the receiving end of the work of a snitch. It's not fun having your mother call you asking you to turn yourself into the feds.

My point is that if you are going to be man enough to commit the crime be man enough to do the time. Don't cooperate or help the government so they can ruin more families and lives.

Any information that the feds get will be used to help convict other people. Sorry man don't mean to cause a shit storm but I cannot in good conscience remain silent on this.
 
Man enough to do the crime, be man enough to do the time? And your mother had to ask you to turn yourself in. I have accepted responsibility and am at the mercy of governement procedures, and when the time comes I will be man enough to walk myself in those doors, without mommy calling my dumb ass.
