This is all the info I can find about it. If you find more info please post it here... How many times do we have to say get that odor under control. It kind of piss me off that people still dont take this seriously. If you can smell it so can everyone else.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Two people are under arrest following a major pot bust in Oakland.

Police say they found a sophisticated set-up inside the building on Roland Way.
There were 700 plants and about 20 to 30 pounds of finished product that were seized along with about $40,000 in cash.
The illegal grow operation was discovered after a neighbor complained about the smell coming from the building.

That's not the American Bldg, is it? If so, that took a long time to go down.

Oh look this won was approved. I forgot about this one. Im still having difficulties getting any real facts about this bust. Really strange that there is no reports on it but 1.

Well if you aren't 100% on your facts/details, then why did you title it the way you did on the other site?

Someone who grows 700 plants deserves to get busted.

It jeopardizes hundreds of thousands of people who grow for their (and few others in some cases) private medical or recreational needs.

YMMV.

Uhhh have to disagree..I'm going to be managing a very large LEGAL grow op in Big Sur for 4 different dispo's and delivery services, a LOT of people would not be getting their medicine without this legal operation so having a large grow is not necessarily a BAD thing.

Well megayields, I am not too aware of the legal limits, as I'm not from US, but it sure sounds like a lot of pot for two people to run. For me it sounds like a proper mafia style drug lab op. Quick grow, quick cash... But if it was legit, why did they bust it? Smells fishy..

Even after reading this:

Quote:

Oakland
Indoors - 72 plants in maximum 32 sq. ft growing area. Outdoors - 20 plants, no area limit. Weight limit 3 lbs dried marijuana per patient. Collective gardens limited to 3 patients. Dispensaries serving four or more patients are allowed max. 6 mature and 12 immature plants and 1/2 pound per patient. See Oakland Municipal Code 5.81.101

it doesn't really add up. What am I missing here?
