Growing in your parents home...

[BobBong]

Many of you young growers have a heart of gold...unfortunatly...many of you also do not understand what i means to grow.

Growing in most countries is illegal(For most people). We all know that. Growing in your parents home without their knowledge is by far the worst thing that you could do. It is irresponsible, disrespectful and could very well destroy your families lifestyle and the relationship you have with them.

With that being said.. We at Cannabis.com will not support, advise, encourage or advocate the act of growing in someones house without their knowledge.

We will discourage this at every chance we get because responsible growers respect the law, and the wishes of others.

There is also the fact of saftey in this issue...if you build a poor setup, or try to conceal it to much. You can very well, start a fire.. and burn your families house down and possibly even kill someone.

This may discourage some of you from growing.. and if that is the case, I am happy...I am only happy about someones grow when it is done responsibly and on their own terms... not their parents.

The keywords here are "WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE."
You don't own a house... and when you do, you'll know what goes on in it.
Cheers,
Happy and Safe growing.
Bob.:thumbsup:

That certainly seems true, but I think that what is potentially much worse is growing when you have young children around. This could really destroy your immediate family. In fact, just posessing any amount of weed with young children around is probably just as bad as growing in your parents house, in terms of the law.

I follow and agree with you to an extent. I think it is very true in terms of smoking. Smoking with children around is just plain ignorant. You are right though, If one is breaking the law on a daily basis with small children around, they are obviously not considering what that is doing to the child and the possiblities of what could happen.

I can only imagine the pain of having your child taken away from you and yourself put in a 6x6foot cell.

[BobBong]

For my conscience.

I believe that young aspiring pot growers should spend their summer vacation helping out their parents in the garden, learning, instead of sneaking around.
Then when they start growing, it will just come naturally.

And your parents will be proud of you for having a green thumb, istead of ashamed that they raised a dishonest little shit who cares more about getting high than he does about his family.

So for all you young'uns, go hang out in the veggie society forum and OPEN your minds!

Had to post it under this thread also.. it's the best advice a fellow member can give.

Good post bob.

I agree 100% no one should put another persons home at risk. That is
selfish and irresponsible. The kids that are doing this should think of
what their parents do for them and know that it would brake their
heart if the police were to bust in and arrest their child in front of
them and possibly seize their property and arrest them also. A plant
is not worth putting over your loved ones.

Yeah, I took this into consideration and felt it was wrong to do. I waited all this time to be this age and I just sorta guessed I can wait another 2 yrs until I have my own place and a proper set-up. Even though I was allowed to grow here I couldnt do that. So I'm just waiting now again :p.

I don't think that applies for everyone. My husband and I grow. We have young children. It is for his personal use only. He got his prescription when he was diagnosed with a serious condition. By state law, it's legal. By federal law it's illegal. We have a private grow space that the children are not aware of.....yet. It's locked up and out of sight. We try to hide it as much as possible from them. We haven't decided what to do when the time comes to explain which will probably be in the next few years. I personally don't use. I dont need it (medically) nor I have a prescription for it (only my husband has a prescription) If I didn't have kids, I would most likely indulge :). But for the sake of my kids I don't. I don't want my kids saying ..."but mommy does it, she's not sick, why can't I" It's not something I want my kids doing or want them to be thinking about doing.....period. Not till they're adults, but thats probably wishful thinking. I still have a few years.

not everyone has the luxury of living and growing on their own, some of us are just trying to save some money with a small hobby.

[kuulbns]

Thank you Bob for stating so eloquently what I believe to be great advice. If you take the risks into consideration it's cheaper to buy your stuff in the long run. :thumbsup:

[BobBong]

And you're supposed to take responsibility of your own Hobbies. That's the whole point. To growin someones house without their knowledge, is not responsible.

And I don't live alone.. I live with my uncle, who just so happens to use cannabis himself..and if he asked me not to grow, i wouldn't. Because both of our names are on the lease, we both take responsibility.

There is no excuse for decieving your parents or loved ones just so you can grow a plant.

Bob.

[klup]

im not deceiving my 'loved one' being that my dad found me growing and his only concern was the temperature.

yeah, it is just a plant, so whys it matter? im not axe murdering young girls and stashing them in my freezer. no, im just 'responsibly' growing. i take precautions to avoid fire and other accidents it might cause. theres no point in me saying that theres nothing wrong with my grow, because you seem to think its wrong and so will all of your mod buddies. so, i respect your opinion, but disagree to an extent.

Do you not think though that it would've been better to approach the issue with him rather than just assume that he wouldn't care?

What if he threw you out..called the police on you? The fact that his only concern was the temperature is very unique. I'm not talking to or about you in specific. I'm generalizing.. and in general, if you grow in someones house without their knowledge.. they're not going to be happy when they find out.
It's good that you're being mildly responsible by taking precautions and the fact of the matter still remains that it is simply a plant. But an illegal plant (as much as we wish it wasn't it still is) the point i'm trying to get across here is that when you live in someones house the owner of that house is responsible for what goes on...it's not a matter of "being responsible" it's a matter of law. Respect the law by respecting the property and wishes of others, that's all.

[Anathema2121]

Klup, growing in your parent's house is not the point. Growing in their house without them knowing or without there permission is the point. It is there house, thus it is in their name, and even if it is your plant they could still get in trouble for it. It's cool that your dad is cool with it, thus this doesn't apply to you, but to the other people who are putting their parent's freedom in jeopardy. Think of how you would feel if someone found the grow and your parents went to jail. The simple fact is that yes, you may never get found, but what's to make you think that you are any different than the hundreds of other people who grow that get busted? Just be considerate, and think of others.

But don't give up on growing, just maybe wait til spring and try a guerilla grow outdoors somewhere on public land :rasta:

[klup]

ok, i see your point about your parents being resposible. about the law, no, fuck that, i will never respect that law because i honestly think is dumb. anti weed campaigns and busts cost/ waste so much money that could be saving lives. kids hear bullshit that their parents or teachers or whoever feeds them, then theyre just another problem because they wont open their eyes, but thats off topic.

so i agree that you shouldnt grow if you are just going to be irresponsible and sloppy or if it migh affect others. i highly doubht ill be found, living in a quite a rural area, also that i grew a 3 footer on my side porch. i know theres always a chance, but theres always a chance something will happen with anything you do. still, i plan on doing a fluorescent/ lowryder grow at the end of the year.

You can respect something without liking it. :rolleyes:

Stay Stoned,
Happy Growing.

[downundadude]

my words exactly were "hey mum i scored some pot seeds off my kiwi mate and im gonna grow them ok ....."

her reply "hahaha you know what happened to your last effort,,, it fail dismally!!! and what happened to your sisters plant many years back.... they wont grow here...... your silly go read a book or something constructive"

few months on shes been watering it for me when i been away, but my mum is tops

you guys have good points and you sould definatly tell your parents/housemates
who knows they might even have some experiance in the feild and help you out

[stinkyattic]

no, fuck that, i will never respect that law because i honestly think is dumb. .


But you still have to respect what BREAKING that law can do to your family.

That's the whole point here.

[postmandave]

Great advice bob. illl try and give some advice from a fathers point of view.If one of my sons or my daughter . was growing weed in the house without my permission i would be more upset by the fact that they never approched me or their mother first and even more upset that they found the subject unaprouchable. most fathers and mothers assume that their kids can approuch them with any subject i know i certianly do.so for one of my kids to go behing our backs and put the whole family at risk with out their permissoin.would be totaly unacceptable.So any kids out there who are about to or at this moment growing in their parents house without their permissoin.GROW UP and go talk to them .if they arent prepared to allow you to go ahead then they may be able to offer some other solutoin to your hobby but please dont go putting your whole families trust in you in the bin .the time will come when you have your own place and then you can perticapate in our great hobby to your little hearts are content.but until then be smart and be safe .the postman

How about masterbation?

Is it ok to masterbate in your parents home?

How about FORNICATE?

How about raising rats in your closet?

[liquid swords]

For someone who smokes a lot of weed, you sure have a pretty arrogant stance when it comes to adhering to the law (both governmental and parental).

[LuckyNiner]

Makes sense, Bob.

However, you must realize you're contradicting yourself hugely. If you and/or the other moderators/owners of this site truly cared about not "supporting, advising, advocating, or encouraging" people GROWING marijuana in their parents' house because of legal, moral, and safety issues, then you should therefore have the same policies about children SMOKING in their parents' houses. It's less dangerous legally, but otherwise it's the same.

LMAO I once fornicated in my moms house and got caught! But to the subject I have a teen that thinks he can do as he pleases, Grew plants at his grammas, and her neighbors called the cops, I then stepped up to save my mom from getting introuble and said they were mine and just forgot to post my Dr. recomendation! If it were not for me she would have been arrested and jailed! Ignorant kids just have NO RESPECT is all it is!

NO...you can't do that either. You will fall off and break your wrist and crack your head open on the ground when you fall.

Just looking out for you pal...:cool:

Sorry to interrupt...but getting back to the topic.

I have young children, but I also have a room here that locks and they can't get into (and they don't, as their Christmas gifts are stored there!!) I smoke just about daily - when I can get it, which isn't that often...I am lucky if I can find a connection once a month, and then they rarely have the amount I am looking for, so I run out again.

I am a productive, contributing member of society, but yes, I would like to stop relying on teenagers to give me small counts and rip me off and maybe just grow one of my own plants - I'm not trying to be a horticulturalist or anything - just one freakin plant. And it doesn't even have to be great stuff, just midly sedative...okay, maybe a little more than mild...

Yeah, it kills me to think I might be putting my children at some kind of risk of my going to jail or them being taken away...but one plant? For personal use? Provided I do everything else safely?

[newtoitallgurrl]

ok wait! what about medical MJ? can that get ya introuble with that and having kids? I have 3yr old, but he has no clue, he thinks its mommys flowers. doesnt your recomendaion clear you of the whole thing with your kids and MJ?? (if I made no sense don't mind me I am high lol)

[bud breath420]

this should have been made a sticky alot of good points here...

[TheGreenFog]

Do not grow in your parents home. It is not respectful and you would definitely not want someone to do it in your home without your knowledge. Go guerilla if you gotta. It's less work, and more bud. Win, win. Be safe.

I know, tell me about it, stupid isnt it? Thats why i have no regard for any law against cannabis, anything to do with cannabis or selling cannabis, even though i'd never concider selling it.

[turtle420]

I love you guys too much. :D

IN love... OUT love... IN love... OUT...
Love... what the heck...

TO: The people growing with kids.

I think, that the biggest risk you're running with growing and kids around, is the fact that the kids will see the operation and start to talk/ask questions.

I remember reading about a guy here, that had two kids (if I'm not mistaken), and a grow room with locks. What he would do, is that about once a month, he would buy these small strawberries (I believe) in the supermarket, then spread them out in the grow room.

I would guess some perched up on the plants, other on the surfaces, etc.
So, once a month, his kids would come in with him, and pick the strawberries that dad grows. They even ate those strawberries with the grandad, if I'm not mistaken.

It's a good idea, IMO.

[gr8misadventures]

I would never sell it either...not really in my nature. I actually dreamt about having a lot of it last night, and in my dream I grabbed a handful and gave it to my neighbour (who also smokes with me).

I don't know about having no regard for it...obviously, I do regard the laws in the sense that I will do what I can to protect myself - I won't smoke in public...yadda yadda...

I agree that one should not grow in their parents home without their knowledge. I wholeheartedly agree that one should not grow anywhere indoors without the knowledge of the property owner.

It all get hazy though, when you involve kids.

I am not medically licensed to smoke, so I can't respond to that other comment, sorry.
