Crazy irresponsible neighbour. What would you do?

So to start i live in a side of town where young tradesman, oil workers and just generally young guys with little education, big 'appetites' and lots of $$$ live and since theres a couple houses on the blocks full of guys who know eachother parties abound.

Like all smart growers i don't grow at home or really even have more than some jars of my headstash around, i stash my harvests in secure locations.
if the gophers get them so be it.
so i'm not worried about the heat on me but them plus i don't even has a speeding ticket i'm off the law radar completely.

Now these guys have always enjoyed weed amongst other things and lately i've detected the un mistakible odor of growing not burning cannabis.

i went over to the house of the guys i'm friendly with and pretty much said
"i and some friends grew as kids, i know one of your buddies has alot of young plants just starting to flower and they are are going to be 10x as stinky in just a few short weeks.
and it's going to be a 24/7 round the clock smell, etc. as i let them know they needed to upgrade their carbon filters or whatever they use. i wouldn't dare be a snitch but i also live near a retired cop who hates those ne'er dowells and he might want to try to recapture his glory days...:moon:

got a few ok's it's not us but we'll let whoever it is know and they'll handle it.
then get this!!
on my hike/walk through a nearby park that has a beatiful stream running through it that basically makes a large part of the park basically a few wetland islands amidst the stream i see tracks.

following said tracks thinking it might be a new trail to try i come across several patches and single cannabis plants spread throughout and hidden on the islands. it's the same strain as my neighbours have i think and it just made me furious, i have lots of guerilla patches out in parks and such, but to be so stupid as to leave trails and footprints right up to it?

i'm certain it's my neighbours who seem destined to get busted and i did something i regret.

+sidenote i fancy myself a artist and had some large pieces of manilla tag (spelling?) paper and just wrote a note saying

" i have planted camera's leading to and from your patches, they are now mine. i have tracked you and know where you live. if you even come back to look at these plants i'll send the footage into the local rcmp and let them do as they will"

crazy and stupid but to be so dumb and childish in your growing skills i feel these guys need a terrifying wake up call to get their stuff together or just plain get out of growing.

needed to vent this, i don't know how disjointed this is but thanks for reading

You need to separate yourself from their scene. You've already notified someone else that you're aware of their growing. If something happens to the plants or there is a bust, you will be a prime suspect in the eyes of the grower/s. They won't think that you've been trying to do them a favor. You could be subject to retribution. Stop fucking with other people and mind your own business and you won't suffer any payback.

Sounds like you need to regain control of your emotions before you fully out yourself to them, if you haven't already.Stupid people don't take advice well, and you already let them know that you know what growing weed smells like. Maybe step back before you get yourself dimed out and have properties under strutiny.
 
Irresponsible or not, its not your problem. So I would just step back and remove yourself from the situation. Can't agree more with what others have said already.

sadly you're right on that friendly advice can easily be seen as taunting, hinting i'd do something and all sorts of shit.

i'm not fucking with them at all, why would you say that? i'm scaring them

true i've got to be extremely careful, but in the summer it just means i've got to become super paranoid.

so true on stupid people and advice... sigh.... sadly sometimes intelligent people aren't so accepting either.
and you're right in a smaller town the cops could go crazy trying to bust what the think might be a mafia or something

Mind your bizz....u got no place to police dumbasses.

i know but have you ever been to jail? it can be hell and for some the start of a crazy spiral into real crime. these are good guys and being young, dumb and cocky isn't a crime in my eye

i'd be more afraid of the fact i said there were hidden cameras, after either running away or searching for who knows how long for whats not there, my mind was be panicking and jumping back and forth between it's a lie or the cameras are really well hidden

i think i'm going to, i'm good friends with one of them and i'm gonna lie a little and say unless he does something about the smell asap.\

they might have some serious time on their hands and even bigger charges since it might be seen as a group thing, and new laws for very small amounts of plants mean years in jail, even seedlings. previous record or no. espicially in alberta

Best way to stay out of trouble is by minding your own business. I hope that everything works out OK for you.

i'm curious what others would do if friendly neighbours where doing likewise?

You've warned them once to get their act together. That all that should be done. Its just not your problem. Maybe they're not just young and naive. Maybe they're just stupid. And we all know there is no cure for stupid, so just walk away. You've already done more then you should have.

Let them get busted, or not get busted, it isn't any of your business and sticking your neck out will usually come back to bite you in the ass
