Is Google News 'marijuana' the best indicator of an increase in personal grow busts? - OG/ Cannabisworld Refugees - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Certainly nothing there to throw up a flag at present, typical of what you see, people popped driving around smoking or the massive bust, but little in the way of small grower busts. Is this the best indicator we have?

Maybe we can post busts of personal grows if they start popping up on the above link, if there's a sudden spike then one may suspect that an operation is going on. Just an idea.

I doubt there is any real connection.

I'd bet it has more to do with the increase of searches since overgrow got shut down.
If all the sudden "marijuana bust overgrow" gets googled 5 billion times in one week, there are gonna be more hits for those terms. Just a hunch though, I'm not exactly sure how google works.

If Rc was in fact busted and it was in some kind of large scale seizure to find other growers, the only people you'd really see getting busted are like the cbay sellers and people who posted pics of huge grows. But If you're a closet or better yet a medical grower I doubt you have anything to worry about for real. The kind of police tactics involved in rounding up all these thousands of personal growers would not go well in the American press. Think about the coverage Emerey's bust got in America, zero. Why mess up a good thing

I really hope the cbay sellers end up ok though, I think they will. I am dumbfounded that HS seems to pay their sellesrs using banks and checks. Seems needlessly traceable to me.

Just my opinion, but I'm drunk right now so what do I know:wink:

Also, don't post some randoms guys bust info. I'm sure the grower doesn't want the info spread around
