Uhh, not every state is easy to get a "script" as in california... some places you have to have a legimate, debilitating condition to be able to legally grow/use.
do you worry when going to the grow shop?

So they trespass first to obtain evidence of a crime and then use this illegally obtained evidence to get warrants? Seems like a easy way to get off.

Try growing some tomatoes or broccoli indoors.
At a shop I go to in MA I sometimes see a cop in the back room. I go there a lot and I've seen people get pulled over right outside the store after buying a lot of lights. Recently a new guy is working there and he doesn't know anything about the stuff that the store carries. I'm pretty sure he's an undercover. I really don't care though cause I never go to the shop in my car but we all know that cops break laws too.

even if you get off, you don't get the money back that you spent on a lawyer. sometimes, cops add extra charges for the sole purpose of costing you more money. they don't give a fuck, why would they?
even if you get off, now you are on everyones radar. Realistically, you would have to move maybe not out of state, but a decent distance away if you want to grow again. Just because the case is dropped, and all evidence deemed illegal, there is no permanent removal of the information inside the cops heads. They can make your life hell.
i guess you are suggesting all cops always do everything by the books? The only person on this site i would expect to make an ignorant comment like that, would be a cop

If one isn't clever enough to obtain an MMJ license, it's doubtful they could get away with an underground grow for very long either.
You do realize there are MMJ states that require you to have cancer, AIDS, or MS in order to get a license, right? There is no correlation between getting a license and being able to grow undetected.

go to any grow store, its all pot head and there partner weed buddy with them picking up dope supplies for all the public to see, grow long enough and youll get caught, going to stores just means u like giving up advantages and making it easier for the law, dont matter if after u go to another store or whatever or drive someone elses car, STAY AWAY, commando, your easy to tail. better u order online out of state then pay in cash in person and drive the shit home, it really is.

My thoughts exactly!
If Im doing something illegal I would have a totally diferent attitude, I would only purchase online.
That being said, Im lucky enough to live in CA and I never flower more than 6 girls at once. PERIOD.
Im going to purchase a complete new set up. A Tent, Scruber, In-Line, 600 digi, trays and other stuff at the end of this cycle from my shop without hesitation. Ill walk out the front door with it all.
I feel for all you non MMJ states! I wouldnt come close to a hydro shop NO MATTER WHAT! Its just to easy to get things online to take any chances.
I totally agree, Home depot is the place man!! otherwise you're right getting nutes and the like online makes sense.
Who wants to drag heavy bottles when you can have it delivered directly to you?

Fuck if you're so worried about it then don't grow. As for owing money well thats part of the game. Can't do the time don't do the crime.

Thats your choice, but you are being super paranoid. Are you high right now, cause that will do it. I liked on persons response, support local business and build a relationship with the shop owner. Find a grow store that lets you park in the back if your worried about that kinda stuff, and just watch your mirrors if you are that paranoid. I always goto the hydro store, even if Im just bored and wanna chat up the owners since they know and recognize me. They usually can help you out with a lot of questions, ideas, concerns that might come your way down the road. Cops don't have time to worry about following someone that might be running a legal veg grow, or some small timer who is just growing personal. They want the big boys that have 30 lights, and are a major supplier. I would chill a bit, the hydro store is your friend and not some entrapment scheme. If they were there wouldn't be any hydro stores. Could you think of the bad rep they would get if that happened? They'd have to close up shop.
Hell if your that paraniod, maybe you shouldn't be on the internet talking about growing, since they can just track your ip and come get ya.

you are super paraniod. Of course it can happen, that doesn't mean it does to everyone, or even many. They can't just go get a search warrant b/c they see your hydro meter spinning. Do you have any idea what your house consumes in electricity a day? You better have a big show for them to tell anything by looking at your power consumption. They can't get a warrant b/c of power usage alone I garantee it.

For grow/hydro shops it's kind of a don't ask don't tell kind of thing. They know that some people come in for weed growing supplies, some don't. Don't put them in a position that they don't need to be in. Ask questions as much as you want, refer to tomato plants if you want to be specific as they grow similarly. Unless the police are watching you already there's nothing to worry about. Try and pay in cash if you want to be extra cautious. These people are not out to get you, they are selling you what you need to continue this wonderful hobby!
Keep your wits about you and use common sense, those are your best tools.

I go to hydro stores as little as possible, always pay in cash, always park in the back, always take a friend's car. I feel like it's the only time I expose myself and it makes me very uncomfortable. This said, I generally enjoy the experience. It's fun to see the new hardware in person and to check out the other costumers. I bet a few think I'm a cop, because I look so conservative. Good. When it comes to buying growroom equipment, it's either Home Depot or an out of state shop shipping to a safe address.
