Thanks IGYB. I just had to get it off my chest. The news that evl posted about what happened to Whiskey was just the the one that broke me. I never met the man, I do know he was a talented grower. It was just to bad he has no moral character and wasn't more careful about his business. That's why I keep it small and under the radar and say Fuck Florida! As the place I was born it's great, it's the people that have screwed this place up. I swear if I could go back in time 80 or 100 years in Florida I would. I've already lived that way out in the woods in north Fla. No electric, only a pitcher pump well, and a little wood stove in my little cabin on my own 5 acres growin what ever I could. And it was people that screwed it up for me. They just couldn't leave me alone and let me live. I didn't bother anyone just minded my own business. No one else could tho. But now here I go again on the soap box. I know a lot of Florida history and this isn't the way it should be here. But it's very sad that it is the way it is now, every one cares about the wrong things. T hey don't want to get along they want to tell others what they can and can't do on their own land and with their own lives. The small hand full of us know this is just wrong. And I believe that what happened is people have gotten so greedy about everything that they think they have a right to tell others what to do. I left the city years ago because of that but now people are so wide spread you can't get away from it unless you leave for more open places. I don't believe Florida can be saved anymore and haven't for a long time. I guess I done for a while now as I'm running out of steam. So I'll be quiet and go back to my corner.

I am both new to this forum and sort of new to Florida (my first time as an adult). I figured I pop in here just to see what's up. I'll have to say that Ghost is pretty much right on. It's sad but true. I have had family here my whole life and stayed my happy ass out for a good reason. Florida is like it's own little world and that makes me nervous as i am about to set up shop again.

I don't know whether to laugh at him or feel sorry for him. The pics on the news showed nothing but 26w CFL's everywhere. Poor bastard...

Acting on a tip, Altamonte Springs police served a search warrant today at a storage facility where four units had been converted into a marijuana grow house.

Madison Eugene Priest, 54, of St. Cloud, was at the facility when officers arrived and faces charges of possession and cultivation of marijuana, said Altamonte Springs police Officer Timothy Hyer. At the time of his arrest, Priest was on federal probation for the same charges, Hyer said.

Late last year, Priest rented four units at South Seminole Business and Storage, 540 N. State Road 434, Hyer said.

He totally remodeled the inside of the units, connecting them and building walls and ceilings, Hyer said.

"He did a great job of building the inside of the place," Hyer said.

But Priest's growing skills were lacking, he said.

Agents found hundreds of energy-efficient fluorescent light bulbs, apparently the wrong kind for growing plants, Hyer said. It also appeared the plants were not getting adequate water, he said. There was no plumbing inside the storage units, so Priest was using condensation from air conditioning units to water the plants.

Officers confiscated 138 plants, the largest no taller than 18 to 24 inches, Hyer said. Considering the length of time the plants had been growing, "He should have had huge plants," Hyer said.
 
Im wondering if he was Stealing the Elct. Iv never seen A Storage Room that had enough Juice to run A AC and some lights. Maby thats how he got Busted. Sorry to here any one gos down. Keep it grean Guys and Thanks for the Info Evl. You watch all the news.

The story on channel 9 news gives more info; He had the electric co set up the place for heavy electrical usage. No, he wasn't stealing juice. Some spineless piece of shit narced on him.
