Worst that's happened to me is that I was detained and questioned by the cops while they investigated my "grow operation". I had some old school grow lights in my kitchen window for my window sill plants and a potted hibiscus outside on my deck.

It's sad that the cops couldn't immediately tell the difference between hibiscus and weed nor were they aware that people can grow indoor house plants under those pink/purple fluorescent lights which for sure wouldn't be strong enough to grow marijuana to begin with.

It's also funny that my neighbor at the time actually was growing weed on his front patio, and they never seemed to notice in the 5 or so years I lived next door.

This is because "The Drug War" is just a device for political persecution of the people that whoever is in power wants to harass or outright remove. It's the Nixon Playbook and it's not just Republicans who use it.

What using a lot of electricity is a crime, which lets a judge sign off on a warrant, now?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 days ago

They can dream up any nonsense and slap it on a warrant, so it’s not really that big of a hindrance to get one. They can get one for a different person at a different address, still come shoot you in your own home and walk away with a paid vacation.

My buddy once had an epic hydroponic set up going in his garage. One day the garage door went up for some reason. Guess someone saw it and called the cops. They went full on raid of his garage only to find some of the best fucking vegetables in the city. He said they were actually visibly upset that he only had veggies

That's terrifying. Those stupid cops will kill your baby with a flashbang, shoot your dog and then murder you becauese you were holding the TV remote during their veggie raid.

Even if he really was growing some pot plants, it shouldn't even be a big deal.

"No fruits?????"

LoL, this just reminded me of the movie "Shoot 'em Up" with Clive Owen's character being a stone cold badass while munching on carrots he grows in his garage.

BTW, though it is a cartoonishly ridiculous action flick, "Shoot 'em Up" is a terrifically fun movie to watch.

Reminds me of the story of the people working on running a business in their apartment, for whatever Linux distro it was, in the 2000s that was caught and had to move the servers for obvious reasons.
