Why dont peolple stay within the legal peramiters? Why do people insist on doing dumb illeagal things to grow ganga? Medical patients are aloted enough legal options to grow enough meds and then some. I guess this economy has driven alot of people into mindless greed and stupidity. How much money do they think they are gonna make off of some shitty outdoor anyway?

Hey! Here's an idea! Stop arresting people for cannabis!

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!

There's not one person that will convince me that these guys deserve felony drug convictions, for growing a plant.

Maybe the trespassing charge, and the other things they did which were actually wrong.

Oh ya these guys where cartel gofers for sure. they have a better success rate by growing it here then humping 100lb sacks across the borders I do think they should not be growing in these areas. I happy they shut these types of operations down. There's no way I approve of anyone growing anything in our state parks. If you dont have your own land or resources to grow 1k lbs then u should not be doing it. I still want my grandchildren to be able to go to these places and not worry they might stumble on some cartels patch and kill them WTF. If they get caught deport them and ban them form ever entering the USA again.

think about the numbers...you can pull 100k cash off 25 10 footers....those kinda numbers in this kind of economy are the reason why theres lots of outdoor guerilla shit going down.

everybody and there moms is trying to cash in on the outdoors this season...i know at least 5 newbs who have gone up north this year and thats on top of the regulars who have already been doing it.


its gonna be an interesting outdoor season thats for sure...probably the craziest one yet.

but these guy dont sound like cartels....they were all regular folks.

the cartels need to be eradicated though....CAMP and LEO should be going after those guys instead of locals just trying to cash in.
 
Everytime a grower gets busted because the rules are being broken it gives the cannabis community a black eye which makes it even harder to pull MJ out of prohabition and into all our gardens to cultivate and share with our brothers and sisters. There is no reason for the greedyness that some individuals can not seem to over come......there is enough to grow around. Growers should set up guidelines to grow by so we can all help lessen the destruction on our mother earth.

Busting a grow has to be pretty easy for cops compared to say catching a bank robber. Think about it these guys were on private land for potentially months sitting like ducks in a pond. And it makes for a great media story. MMJ gets another point deduction. 4 them Its a win win.. but I'm not buying into it. In the big picture it doesnt sound that greedy, more stupid..30 something plants? Unite and set up guidelines?? Heres an idea how about throwing the 8 trashbags of plants seized away and go down to the gulf to clean the oil spill. tell em arnold sent you.:wave:

messed up stuff like this is still happening all over the place because federal laws still have not caught up to state laws.

Im pretty sure a greater degree of self-regulation of/by the cannabis community would get rid of these cartel growers who are able to exploit the niche market created by idiotic, outdated fed. laws

Here in Michigan ALL gardens must be indoors, under in a locked facility. That means 100% artificial light, and big electric bills. Using a total hydro system produces high quality meds, but much smaller plants. The problems can be solved with a skylight that has a dual thermal barrier (no heat loss or gain), uses a solar powered, gps guided motor to move the mirror that tracks the sun from dawn to dusk. There is so much real sunlight that the plants are much larger, and produce the high quality expected from a hydro garden. It has a louver to close it off for 12/12, and to keep idiots from coming in from the roof, burglar bars. The 4ft x 4ft covers 500SF floor space and floods the area with real sunshine. It is not cheap, but the bennies far out weigh the cost. The company is coming out with a 2ft x 2ft and a 4ft x 8ft model. This works so great, I am trying to become a dealer so I can pass savings on to legal growers. Here in Michigan we can become caregivers for up to 5 patients and grow 12 plants for each of them. Plans to expand to a "gro-op" hydro garden with as many caregivers that want to invest, are pending. The objective is to be able to supply all patients with very high meds and make it much more affordable. The law does not allow caregivers to sell the meds, rather be compensated for their services. The level of compensation is relative, but by keeping costs low and quality high, med prices will be lower and not driven by street price of illegal product. There will always be illegals in every walk of life, in every endeavor. There always has been and always will be those who cannot abide by social rules and regs, even when they are relaxed, but not completely removed. We legals will just have to push forward. If this post sounds like a commercial, it is not. For many years the fight to make MM legal was very bleak. Now that the door has been opened a bit, it is vital that everyone work within the system until it can be proven that we can behave. As far as artificial light when the sun does not shine brightly, MH and HPS are still much better than LEDs. LEDs just don't cut it in terms of usable spectrum, no matter what the sellers tell us. They might in the future, but just not yet.

Let's not forget the real victims in this whole thing..The plants..

A moment of silence for the 100,000 we have lost this week.
 
growers on a marijuana forum pullin for the police. I've seen everything. This "garbage" weed is all some of us had access to back in the day. But now that your making money off it everybody else should be busted.

Hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I am "pullin for the police" on this one! If you are a medical patient/care-giver with a valid doctors recommendation, acting within the context of the law, not harming the environment, and not threatening those around you, then there is no problem.. but if you're gonna trespass, carry guns, hurt the environment, and cary outdated recommendations, then you deserve to get busted!!

And don't worry, this is just a drop in the bucket.. there's plenty of swag to go around.

btw - if you think the $30K/yr on average profit I make is getting rich then you obviously don't live in CA..

Totally agree ibjamming, if people could just grow on their own land without fear of persecu..err prosecution, then we wouldn't be having these problems in the first place.
These problems are also responsible for the robbery and theft of medical cannabis from patients who are attempting to follow the letter of the law and are growing there own within the limits of there licence but because of the current legal status of cannabis it makes us medicinal patients prime targets for robbery. Mainly because of the fact most of us are disabled in some way or another and even if we have electronic security ,deadbolts and what not to protect us from theft the fact remains that response time for violent domestic disputes is around 10-15 minutes and with a break in with monitoring the operators have to first try and establish if the alarm was set off by accident and then they make the call to dispatch police to your home so if a criminal breaks in he has abotu 10 minutes in most cases to grab what he can and leave . So once they are in the home locating the grow room is fast unless the grower is able to build a hidden room but anyways once found a criminal can easily rip up 10 plants in seconds and if the grower is like myself my dried product is kept in a closet withing my grow room as it provides me with more security. And what makes us medicinal patients targets is the fact that we are infirm we also dont have to setup elaborate booby traps like are found in most illegal grows nor do a large amount of medicinal growers keep firearms , so when considering the street value of cannabis because of prohibition its value is artificially inflated to the point that while many people wont take the risk of growing it themselves I feel they believe that throwing on a ski mask and breaking into a patients home and robbing them is a safer way to make some money. But if at the very least cannabis was legalized for everyone allowing them to keep a 6 x 6 garden with up to 1000w of lighting or up to 6 plants growing in an outdoor garden then the value of cannabis would drop down to what you would expect to pay for a weed especially when you factor in that if everyone who wanted to smoke pot could grow there own with no reprecussions I highly doubt anyone would be willing to fork out there hard earned cash for it. So while medical cannabis programs are a step forward in helping those who benefit from cannabis prohibition continues to make us some of the easiest targets for theft and untill goverments are forced to realize that these draconian laws concerning cannabis are now not only wasting billions fighting a war against a plant and loosing this war is placing us patients in danger of robbery or physical harm I only say this because of the News stories I have read about Ripper gangs who specifically target medicinal patients.

And now with Stephen Harper trying pass bill S-10 which will place mandatory minimums on anyone found growing 6 or more plants, as far as I have read they are claiming that producing 6 plants or more is for the purpose of trafficking meanwhile in canada a medicinal patient who is prescribed 1 gram per day is licenced to grow 5 plants, but if a person grows 6 plants without a licence then they must be planning on selling it which to me is without a doubt one of the stupidest things I have ever heard suggested by politicians.

I feel that we canadians in the next election need to get behind the NDP and the platform they have decided to follow federally if they win the next election which is to decriminalize cannabis and with any luck an election will be forced soon.

Well I have to disagree with you there on 2 facts for one if dreams come true in america Cannabis would be legal still and the law drafted by George Washington requiring all farmers to grow cannabism, and the second part I have to disagree with is america growing the best weed when for the past several years the concensus has been the best weed in the world comes from canada and to back this statement up all I have for proof is everytime I am in the states visiting my friend who get wicked bud themselves always ask me everytime I come to visit if I brought any Beasters with me.
