What do I do if I find cannabis plants growing in the wild?

[stinkyattic]

This question comes up every year about this time.

You might be out hiking and stumble across a single cannabis plant, or a whole bunch of them.

Your first reaction might be, "wow, that's a lot of pot, I can't wait to get it home and smoke it! That's enough for the whole winter!", or even "I bet I can sell that stuff and pay off my car loan!"

But please stop and think for a moment.

Someone has put those plants there, taken risks, and worked hard caring for them since June. They aren't just growing there by themselves and someone is going to be heartbroken that they're gone.

Think about the grower as another person.

Maybe they would like to have some smoke for the winter, but can't afford the prices that dealers charge.

Maybe they are growing a few plants to sell.

Maybe they are counting on that income to help buy food and fuel for the coming winter.

Remember too that one of the obstacles to the legalization of cannabis is the theft, violence, and general dishonesty that can spin off of it. When tokers can be ethical and all get along without stealing each others' stashes, and then having the snots beat out of them for it, the case becomes stronger that it is a relaxing and peaceful way to alter your perceptions.

So when you stumble on a plant in the woods, remember that as a toker, you are part of this community. Just leave it there for the person who grew it.

[T®auma]

I am happy to see some one posting that.

[akornpatch]

You go get a firearm and stand guard over them until the rightful owner comes. Tell them what you've been doing and will continue doing, and they will reward your efforts. LOL

Peace.

Good post, would never dream of stealing another mans stash, that shit is dishonourable.

[the yeag]

great post.....leave that shit alone!!!! it is either dirt weed growing natural or someones shit...not yours...i saw a covert grow op in west virgina once...those hillbilly's are smart..they will hang fish hooks at eye leval on thin fishing line...in the area.. put razzor blades in the stalks.. i even heard of people putting rattlesnakes tied on a string around plants... you don't want to end up dead....

[Dazed4now]

well said stinky, well said
props to that!

[stinkyattic]

What if they were planted by a dodgy person? I say take some, leave them half.

That's not for you to judge.

[AlwaysBlazed]

I wouldn't go into someones backyard or house but out in the woods it's free game :)

[m.g.]

it's people like blazed that gives kids a bad name...

[stinkyattic]

I wouldn't go into someones backyard or house but out in the woods it's free game :)

You're the kind of person who if they found a lost wallet would help themselves to anything in it before returning it to the owner.. if you even returned it.

[stinkyattic]

Cool. Vigilante justice at work.

[souldistortion]

What you tend to forget is that it is not only peaceful hippies that grow marijuana. If I found a grow in the wild, I would probably keep my eye on it to see who ends up showing up. If the pot is going to bad uses, such as funding a gang or another shit scheme, then I will do my civic duty and relieve them of their crop. If it were just some hippy or yuppie growing for personal use, or even to sell for their own profit, I would leave it alone. I would be willing to take the time to find out that shit too.

I have to agree with this because this is damn near exactly what i would do. It would be tough to pass it up, but if it were for some bro's personal use, id leave that shit be. for real

[KOZMO]

no I wouldn't get greedy
but a little don't hurt son

[stinkyattic]

such as funding a gang or .....just some hippy or yuppie growing for personal use, or even to sell for their own profit, .

See, I don't understand what criteria you are using to judge.

By yuppie, are you talking about some khaki-wearing white person who you personally identify with on a socioeconomic level?

Does stealing from someone who is a criminal any less of a theft?

Can you tell a criminal just by looking at them?

Is a yuppie growing to sell different from a disadvantaged urban person growing to sell?

Is it morally right to steal from Wal-Mart because they treat their employees like shit, or is it still theft?

[KOZMO]

^speak your wisdom son

[StayHIGH420]

just imagine if u put in all that work and someone took it.. thats like taking a someones baby...

[JEFFAR420]

It happend to me this year, I had 30 from the start went down to 15, day of harvest 0. It fucking sucks. They left us the smallest, shiestyist plant there. the year before that my brothers plant was stolen right from out backyard, year before that same deal. This year im goin indoors, im from a shiesty dog eat dog city. One day im going to throw a brick thru that kids window, karma's a bitch.

[doco]

I had half of my outdoor grow stolen a few years ago and although I was pissed, I also was grateful that they left half for me. My avatar pic is from that grow.

[NightProwler]

i have a constant worry that someone is gonna find and steal my plant

[King Amdo]

...a small proportion of whats there...if the flowers are ready. (I think). Try not to take it all. I was trying to plant some stuff this year deliberatly for people to find! Just the odd plant near car parks and stuff (country). On plant was right by a (ok a very little used woodland car park)...still there at harvest. Other stuff happens that I don't really wanna take about - but try and keep a sense of homour in your response if the landowner on where your weed is growing finds and destroys it.

[weedmaster]

grow your own and leave what aint yours well alone,my plants r like members of my own family,im sure alot of people feel the same way about there grow,treet other peoples plants,how u would want someone to treet yours. i c nothing,i no nothing, i speak nothing!!

[oturbojoeo4o]

i would atleast leave a lil note that said..."hey nice plants" haha

god that would scare the shit outta me if i went out 2 my grow and there was a lil note like that

[jamstigator]

I'd never mess with someone's outdoor grow, with one exception: if I found an outdoor grow on MY property, that would put me at risk, and I'd probably take it if it was close to harvest, or just kill 'em off. That happened to my brother once, he found some plants growing on his land, close enough to harvest. He got a pound or a pound and a half out of it and felt no guilt. Guerilla grows are cool, but if you're gonna do it, use public land, not someone else's private property.

[Major-punk]

I remember when I was like 9 years old me and a friend found a weed plant growing like 40 feet away from this trail by his cottage, and even at that age we knew what it was. We basically went up to it and stole a leaf each and thought we were total badasses. But other then that we left it alone and went back to his place.

If it happened again today I really don't know what I'd do... =/

[Abattoir Dream]

i remember not last summer but the summer before, i was rambling through the forest next to a powerstation by my house, and as i came out of the bushes there was some guy just knelt down watering and pruning about fifteen plants, i waited in the shadows for a few minutes before confronting him, i just walked up and stood next to him, i went to say hello, and he just flipped out and dropped everything and stood up, he looked SO sketched out, so i was like, 'dont worry man, my lips are sealed, nice plants tho,' he just started smiling and actually offered me a plant to keep quiet, i didnt know the first thing about growing then, and thought it was really hard to grow weed, so i passed up the offer, from then on i tried to discourage my friends from going near the plants (obviously without telling them) and never went back myself, i actually saw the guy driving his car the other week, im not sure if he recognized me, but i reckon if i reminded him one day he'd be like 'hey your that kid!' and i'd be like 'yeh.... ...im that kid' and it would be a great moment lol anyway, if the same thing happened nowadays, id probably ask if i could put a few of my own plants in, i wouldnt want to take them... that is a cruel thing to do indeed....

[stinkyattic]

Hey all.... now that the harvest is pretty much in, did anyone lose a crop this year to ripoffs?

[Weedhound]

I am not saying I would take anyone's plant because I would never do that but if you plant things on public or open property that is just plain a chance you take. I certainly wouldn't plant things where other people have access to them and wouldn't be surprised if someone else who discovered them made off with them either. All I hear from September thru October is helicopters flying around keeping their eyes open...it's part of the ballgame.

PS Coming onto someone's PROPERTY? Now you're just a slimeball.

PSS For Punk: is that how you got the major in your name? Snagging those fan leaves? You are a badass!

[c of green]

i could have sworn that i posted on here.anyway GREAT thread

[stinkyattic]

I know, it sucks, but just because you expect to deal with scumbags doesn't make them any less scummy! :D


All I hear from September thru October is helicopters flying around keeping their eyes open
OMG I live close enough to a major hospital to be on the life-flite path... choppers going by ALL the friggin' time...freaks me out even though I know 99% of the choppers are just medivacs...

[Weedhound]

Well you certainly make a good point--scum is scum no matter what. I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked if some scum happened by my grow. We have medivac choppers too and just to make you more paranoid what if the medivac were carrying an injured DEA man or something? Double trouble!!

[stinkyattic]

.....just to make you more paranoid what if the medivac were carrying an injured DEA man or something? Double trouble!!
OOOOH I hate you! Now I'm going to have to wrap my whole house in anti-detection foil, lol!!!
:D

[clovisman]

this year my crop was not found- I have had plants stolen- several years back my brother and I had over 30 plants that we cared for the entire growing season- the day we went to cut we noticed some footprints in the mud- not ours - all but one plant was missing- we found the culprit- he was selling the weed to friends - the ripoff artist ending up being a close friend of my brothers- unfortuantely my brother had been bragging about our bumper crop and the thief actually followed my brother for several days until he was led to field-

[Delta9 UK]

Take a cutting - grow your own.

That's as far as I would ever go.

Don't screw with other peoples stuff.

[kush07]

stinky your definitely right on this issue, just think if the shoe was on the other foot, if it was your crop that was getting ripped because you look like some dumbass hill billy redneck, sure wouldn't feel good. These people risked their freedom to grow that crop and your just going to rob them of it. Bad karma will certainly come to you, be sure of that.

[kindprincess]

i lost an entire crop about 4 years ago... medicine for a well know dry winter. if i ever catch that son of a bitch.....

DON'T steal plants. it's bad. i said so. god said so. stinky said so.

and goddamn, if stinky says "don't take them" and you do, wellllll, let's just say it'd be like karma times a million and a half!!!!



ok, wow, this is some reeely good stuff... as has been said... as fellow smokers, leave it be... chances are you'll get to try it soon enough anyway (most of it goes into local circulation)

great thread miss attic:thumbsup: (i'll give you a good rep if i can figure out how...)

love, kp:p

[kindprincess]

i hit the rep thingy 4 times, and it didn't do anything...

sorry:(

[brookerosebud]

stealing plants is bad... last year, i had two come up missing, the 4 more, then a week b4 harvest, the other 9 dissapeared.

i hate thieves:(

[lowryderulez]

anyone who steals a plant what isnt even ready for harvest is a 'See You Next Tuesday'!

[secretgarden]

Never take another man's stash. The only time it is ok is when it is on YOUR property but even then taking the whole crop is wrong maybe a plant or two is ok, call it rental fee of the space. That would be the only time i would pull from someone elses grow. Even then i'd probably go out and water it and if they came along strike up a deal to help care in return for a couple plants as a rental fee. if it's public property or in some one else's back yard hell no leave it alone. That's just rude crude and very unacceptable. I haven't had any outside plants stolen I'll be pissed and start watching even closer and end up using anti ripoff technology.
Just remember how would you feel if you stash came up short or missing?

[bejay]

you know if its on your property you can pretty much do whatever you want but think that most would probably remove them, probably well before flowering even started if spotted soon enough, and its probably not worth the risk to any property owner that probably has their own outdooor or indoor grow going on.

[rottenPauL]

if the buds looked really crystally and fat i think i wouldnt be able to resist to take a small bud. And i would return the next day and hang a small bag with weed on a branch, to return the favor :D:D:D:D:D

[Abattoir Dream]

if i found weed in the wild i'd do the right thing and tell the police :) im a good boy...

haha nah fuck that... i'd probably wait around for someone to turn up, then i'd just exchange seeds, growing advice, clones, growing spots... whatever, it would be great to find someone round this area who cares and knows as much about weed as me.... i could sit for hours chattin with someone like that... and it would be cool to share a good growing spot with someone sound...

We are all growers and we should respect each other the same. there's nothing wrong with sharing ideas, advice, learning something from one another. Remember when it comes down to it. its us (the growers) the them (everyone else) If i found you in my grow I'd ask what you were doing there and probably enlist your aide in caring for the plants and share the harvest.

if it was my property I'd probably be growing anyway, if the plants were posing a risk of getting me busted then yeah I'd do something. better to lose a couple plants then a whole crop. I prefer to align with smart growers not stuped busters. but then i'd like to think we all do.

or make friends and toke wiv em lol :D
well said stinkyattic

[ZeldaG.]

lol hell yeah if i was growing outside and came to check up on em one day and found someone sitting there, and they where cool than i wouldnt kick their ass, i would be like, WICKED how come you havnt stoeln my plants!?

lol

[young Hustla]

yea i see your point. what i would do is leave a note pinned right next to the plant that said got any advice ur plants r sexy. and become bud buddies.then u both can grow and take guard shifts and u both can have a good harvest just like the pilgrims happy thanksgiving lol.

[Kb420Kb]

haha young thats kinda funny =P i came upon something like this and i was only 10 years old and i thought it was natural =\ but it ended up being 1 of my friends plants haha i told him about and he took it back. to get proof it was his i had him take me where it was. xD but in the end it got mold on the buds from nasty weather =\ rain humidity =\ it was really gross on halloween day when it was time for him to harvest ill never forget that day =\

[doco]

Well it looks like it's ok to shoot & kill someone stealing your plants, at least in California anyway: Man not Charged (http://www.latimes.com/news/yahoo/la-me-pot24jan24,1,1408342.story?coll=la-newsaol-headlines)

So far anyway...they may come back and charge him yet still. Sorry about someone dying but this just shows how stealing someones plants can have serious repercussions.

[Dr.Hashman]

I would do the correct thing... Run to your house, grab a jar, some rooting hormone, some soil, and a clean blade! Go take a few clones that they won't miss and add them to my garden! (Just watch out for bugs)

[dusto2k3]

hell yeah joe,

[stinkyattic]

Go take a few clones that they won't miss and add them to my garden! (Just watch out for bugs)

Yeah that's just about as far as I would ever go with it. Still not the best but meh, in the end, taking clones off lower branches does not reduce yield.

I think that should clear it up....

[lazy smoker7]

I was growing a plant outside one time and to come by one day to see that some anti - drug guy was jumping on my plant and killing it. Well I wasnt really growing it ,well sorta.. it was a experiment to see how big I could get a plant in a park where many people go to.. It actually made it to about 1 foot tall then that fucker started stomping on it... that would have been a legenedary story to tell if that plant made it to harvest

[bluntman 420]

i know how it feels to have a crop stolen. id never wish it on anyone. 2 years ago i had 10 plants stolen from me. if i found someones plants id take a cutting for a cloe if it was good stuf and grow my own and never tell anyone, not even the grower that i was there. if i seen someone by my plants id be all sneaky and shit n spy on em to see if they're a cop and if they werent then shit we'd blaze down son. but if it was a cop id beat his ass.

[bluntman 420]

p.s this should be a sticky

[stinkyattic]

p.s this should be a sticky
I asked for it to be made a sticky when it first went up but the original post is now included in 'A Growers Code of Ethics' in the grow lounge.

[Shermania]

I wouldn't touch it. Ever.

As a matter of fact I was in Kosovo about a 3 years ago when I was in the Marines and I found a bush about 3ft tall and about, what seemed like, about 12ft in diameter when I was patrolling during my watch. I didn't tell anyone. I knew some of my Marine buddies would fuck with it and our resting site was about 30ft away, so I didn't tell anyone. Hopefully whoever was growing it appreciates my decision to keep it on the DL. ;)

[divestoned]

yea I think if your gonna steal someones crop...be sure to leave a lil behind for the person who loved them all year.

[Rollafatblunt420]

ya this season i got my shit stolen we had about 7 nice ass plants. we had huge ass buds on our early flowering northern lights plant in june. the other 6 were just getting there buds and were about 4 or 5 foot tall. one day we went out there and they cut all of them down and left just little stumps. i don't even know why they cut down the ones that didn't even have nice buds. and why they did it in june? i don't know

this up coming season i am planting in many many spots. about 10-15 per spot just in case my shit is found i have some back ups

[ZeldaG.]

yea I think if your gonna steal someones crop...be sure to leave a lil behind for the person who loved them all year. --DiveStoned


niiicee...

lol



I was in Kosovo about a 3 years ago when I was in the Marines and I found a bush about 3ft tall

real nice of you to leave it but i must say it was probably a wild bush if ksosvo is one of them eastern europe/rusia type of countries cos in them places it grows wild beacause it was legal for longer i believe and they didnt destroy it so well when they criminalized it, i know people in eastern europe that grew it legally for cow medicine and thread not 40 years ago and i hear some people still grow fields of hemp on farms, couple of years ago i bought a large bag of leafs, seeds and stems for about 2 quid (in eastern europe) from some kid who cut down a bloody wild bush lol no bud but i didnt really have hte knowledge than, smoked hte leafs, and some seeds lol, gave away many seeds to potential growers, from what i know not many survived to be harvested lol anyway i writing all weird now lol

i agree if i came across a bunch of plants i would take a bit but i wouldnt take it all or destroy the plant that is totally out of order

[stinkyattic]

yea I think if your gonna steal someones crop...be sure to leave a lil behind for the person who loved them all year.

Um, how does that help? Enlighten me please.

[youngcity]

i agree if i came across a bunch of plants i would take a bit but i wouldnt take it all or destroy the plant that is totally out of order

fuck that shit take the whole damn plant!..........................................


just playin, I will have a few growin outside this spring and i would be heated if somebody destroyed my plant. even more so if they did it right before they started budding because i have never seen a flowering marijuana plant.

[xfukinxfedxupx]

stealing others peoples grows is just fuckin wrong im gonna plant some in the woods an if some one took it id just just be so upset especailly takin the time to plant risk the police risk my parents findin out just so some lazy bastard can steal it all for him or herself.

[unclebob]

My best advice is keep walking and don't stop. I am down south now but yrs back in Jersey people would get shot for fuking with sombody elses grow and in my opinion the desearved it.

bob

[nitepharmer]

The fucking drug buzyness is full of all kinds of creepizoid violent bastards. We are a bunch of pot smokers, do we have to go there? If a bunch of plants is as important to you as your first born you have an attitude problem. There is an old saying in the outdoor grow world, plant three, one for the cops, one for the rippers and one for you. The way I look at it the more people growing the more the cops are diverted from my grow. Leave it alone and grow your own, it's easy.

[mass12]

deff. grow your own stealin shit is fuckin wrong afta someone spent all that time and money on thier plants

[slartipamure]

It is just plain impolite to mess with somone elses grow ALWAYS leave it alone. However if you have a backbone and truly feel that to grow is everyones right i see no harm in leaving a note with either your e-mail or phone number (someone has to take the first step) so that you can meet a grower in your area. Meeting some of the locals opens up a great opportunity to meet some locals and share genetics with some local like minded types and they should probably be advised that there grow is easy to find. Over the last few years i have had some plans stolen and it is a shitty feeling, I always like to think of pot smokers as being decent types and morally a bit above the rest of society but unfourtunatly loooking at the pattern of thefts i have seen in the past a lot of smokers are no better than the rest of the selfish bastards out ther and this makes me sad. last year my biggest loss was a bunch of plants that i was using for seed production for the local med pot growers org. and this shows to me that they both knew nothing (seeded pot can't be a treat to smoke) and cared for no one other than themselves. ok i am rambling a bit but the bottom line is respect your fellow pot growers.
slart

[omen 66]

why rip someone elses hard work? stealing a persons weed is like stealing their food, it just AINT right. Thats why i have a part pit bull x rottweiler in my place, leave tha weed !!!

[guerillagrowerz]

dude people don't be shady... My friend was growing some and he was just a few weeks from harvest and he got ripped off. They took his best plants too. They took two good and left his two bad. Don't rip someone off. Instead if you see it growing order some seeds and grow more with him. and one day when youre watering your plants you may stumble across eachother and becom growing buddies.:hippy: :smokin:

[junkboxer]

part of the growers job is to find a well hidden area for them. if your just wondering around woods and find them then the grower failed at his job. ive grown outdoors away from my home and took the time to make it a pain in the ass to get to, so that no1 would go there unless they had a cash crop waiting for them. i would never go into someones yard and steal their plants, however if i stumble onto a crop in the woods ill keep track of it till its ready to harvest and jack that baby. would i be upset if that happend to me? of course, but then again i would have learned to take more time in finding a secure grow spot.

finders keepers, losers weepers.

haha ill admit u have a cool/funny idea. if u see another grow, park ur ass there and start a grow next to his. the grower would be so confused haha. then oneday you to stumble upon one another and have a good laugh and start growing together. haha thats awsome

[junkboxer]

I would do the correct thing... Run to your house, grab a jar, some rooting hormone, some soil, and a clean blade! Go take a few clones that they won't miss and add them to my garden! (Just watch out for bugs)

once again, lol another good idea i see. little sharing going on. i think id do your suggestion...never even thought of that.

[healthy_ganjaForest]

if i saw a plant on at a public place I wouldnt take it but chances are that if i saw it others are going to aswell, if i saw a plant on my property i would take it no questions asked.

[CheebaMan]

umm i think that i would probably cut some buds off, they wouldnt notice

[hemodilator]

i dont think ill steal any of it. i just cant picture myself with a big smile on my face cutting the harvest out and running of with a chunk on both my hands.

[orangeman]

I would be highly tempted to take a bud if I saw a plant growing some where in a big field or something but since I grow my own I'd be less tempted. It's sorta hard to love Cannabis and not just take a sample especially if you don't have your own lol. I wouldn't take a whole plant though, that's just mean.

[magic009]

if i found shit just growing in the woods first i would have a look and if any where male i would be like wtf ok know one want's these plantes and if they dfo A: they dont have the time to look after them so why should they have them B: they where just fucking around planted like 50 seeds and they just grew or C: there just dickheads and don't know how to grow so hell yes i would take some if any where male and not heathy if they where all female and very well looked after i would feel bad about taking there hard work and leave them becuse i know what that feelings like laters people

it would be ok to grab a little and let them know you were there, depending on the size of the area and how well they were tended i think they would notice. once on a job in kentucky our whole crew found a patch. we were doing geological surveying. it was a cross country one. it was probably 30 ft around and had chicken wire around it, they were less than a ft tall. all i have to say is that whoever owned it must have been freaked out when they came back. when people go through with machetties and clear brush, and 20 or 30 other people walk through doing their various jobs, it leaves a trail.our lines were getting laid less than 5 ft from this garden, no body touched it or as far as i know did anything about it because we were all a bunch of smokers anyway. it was a cool thing to see though. id be scared to go back to it, but maybe he/she got a harvest anyways.

Magic you crack me up:D

[radefactor]

For me it is a very touchy subject. On one hand I feel like finding a patch of marijuana growing and stealing it is a shitty thing to do. However good the health of the plants is, someone took the time and effort to get their plants going somewhere. Its the part about the plants just being "somewhere" that is what gives marijuana growers a bad reputation. Having even 1 plant in a spot that an inexperienced grower thinks is "cool" to grow in could turn bad if some sort of forest crew was called by city officials to do work in that area. Not everyone thinks out their spots well enough and thats what bugs me. Before you know it, after a few weeks the police have been notified and start monitoroing areas nearby (after surveilencing the one they already found and bust the poor guy who tried to grow some ganj.". Then, some deserving experienced growers with plants in a spot which would have otherwise been overlooked gets busted because their stinky ass harvest set off the newely assigned drug dog patrol squad. I say if you are able to come across a marijuana plot while casually walking through the woods on your own, while not deliberately looking for marijuana plants (which I would never do and i hope no one would ever do) or walking in a deep remote area of the woods, then it is more than likely that the wrong people could find it. You'd be doing the pot growing community a favor by taking the poorly located plants before the the wrong people do find it and set off red flags for pot growing in the area, then get undeserving well thought out grow operations busted due to increased law enforcement precautions. Thats just my two cents, I guess it would have to depend on my mood and bud situation with what I do too. If I find someones grow in a fucking retarded place but I'm in a good mood I'll leave it unscathed and maybe even water them for them. But if I find a well located healthy grow op which assholes would be dieing to steal while on an extensive nature walk, I'd look at the beautiful plants, admire the growers work, and continue on my way.

if i seen it watched it , for a long time see if its waterd ect if its cared for what if was a seed someone droped or a fuckin bird that shit it out ?
if it was all thicks weeds around it and it looked like noone ever been there so basical abanded, id then take over , fertilize, feed , then fuckin rip the fucker outta the ground and hang it up side down!!!! {once it budded}
all bull shit aside
pppfftttttttttttttttt

Um DUH we plant among thick weeds on purpose so no one finds it.

[dudeLISTEN38]

[RollenJoynts]

This question comes up every year about this time.

You might be out hiking and stumble across a single cannabis plant, or a whole bunch of them.

Your first reaction might be, "wow, that's a lot of pot, I can't wait to get it home and smoke it! That's enough for the whole winter!", or even "I bet I can sell that stuff and pay off my car loan!"

But please stop and think for a moment.

Someone has put those plants there, taken risks, and worked hard caring for them since June. They aren't just growing there by themselves and someone is going to be heartbroken that they're gone.

Think about the grower as another person.

Maybe they would like to have some smoke for the winter, but can't afford the prices that dealers charge.

Maybe they are growing a few plants to sell.

Maybe they are counting on that income to help buy food and fuel for the coming winter.

Remember too that one of the obstacles to the legalization of cannabis is the theft, violence, and general dishonesty that can spin off of it. When tokers can be ethical and all get along without stealing each others' stashes, and then having the snots beat out of them for it, the case becomes stronger that it is a relaxing and peaceful way to alter your perceptions.

So when you stumble on a plant in the woods, remember that as a toker, you are part of this community. Just leave it there for the person who grew it.

Pinching someones sack is the same thing as this.
Remember that ;]

losers weepers.... and a thief is dead if I catch him..... you can ask me for anything in the world, and if I can spare it, it is yours.... I catch you stealing from me... The cances of you walking away are very slim.... if I have a field with a gro in it, and I catch someone pilfering from it.... I am going to bet that after I bury you, I will have some good fertilizer for the next year....

[stinkyattic]

I catch you stealing from me... The cances of you walking away are very slim.....

Preach it bro.

I'll help ya out anytime... but don't fuck with what's mine.

Damn, this thread is like flypaper for theives... we're catching ALL the punks here... and sending them on their way with a pretty piece of red candy.

[serpentine5]

LOL

you gro, you get thieves....

I was tought if I was gonna gro, I needed to gro three for every one I wanted... 1 for me, 1 for the cops and 1 for the thieves....
Since I have been here I have also learned that you need to gro 4 for every 1 you want: 1 for me, 1 for the thieves, 1 for the cops, and 1 for the animals....

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

as tempting as it would be to take the plant(s) i wouldnt.

i would possibly snip some and make a clone but if u were caught doin that they might not believe u and well...

also, if i had enough property where somebody started growin on it, i wouldnt do shit except leave a note saying to transplant that shit outta my property

and if i ever saw somebody near a plant i would wither just leave em be or if they looked like the type of person i'd talk to (well they ARE planting weed...) id just say that i wont tell nobody and i wouldnt blackmail him or nothin but id be like can i get a bit when its done, if not its cool

[ZeldaG.]

Okay how about this, i expect plants to get stolen, i expect them to get eaten, but i never expected to go to a friends site with him to find two pots missing, instead of the pots lay a pile of fresh soil, afte rummaging through the soil we discovered the pretty damaged plants :O Then we realised...

''The fuckers stole the pots!!! They took the pots, poured everything out , and stole the pots!!! Bloody wankers!''

I mean on another day a plant went missing from another spot, thats fine, you expect that, but what idiot steals pots that weed is being grown in!??

What more valuable crop can you grow in them pots!!?

Anyway my mate says: ''fuck em, I wish em luck with their tomato growing...''


One of the poor babies was resued , the other died :( there were two moe plants in the same site which where left untoutched...

anyway, just thout id share, and say: DONT STEAL POTS!!! :hippy:

[SyndicateJuggalos17]

wtf? i would say maybe they stole pots to grow more weed in but why would they kill the other plants? too weak or risky to bring back?

[Divestoned]

I have had my outdoors stolen before ...the thing that bugged me most is they didnt leave me any..if someone is able to find it, then i dont mind them takin a nugg or two.....but please remember to leave a few nuggs for the person who grew them.

Dive:stoned:

[Chronisseur]

Karma is a very real thing.

It's not what you do in the spotlight, it's what happens when no one is looking, thats where the truth is.

As a "user" of marijuana, people need to realize that we reap what we sow.

The marijuana community will continue to be judged, based upon the "village idiots" actions, as it has for decades, rather than the majority of users.

...and another thing, dont preach things like "positivity" and "peace" when justifying your usage, to turn around and forget these qualities when it's convenient or beneficial!

[420check420]

no doubt.. that's definently one of the shittiest things you can do to someone.. im hoping it doesnt happen to me.. i took pics of my crop with my cam and forgot to erase it, and my little brother used it.. and theres a good tip in the pics as to where the plants are.. im sure he wouldnt jack me but im just hoping he didnt show any of his friends.. *shudder* if my shit comes up missing theyre gonna find pieces of the bastard who stole em in eight different dumpsters .. :D

[BlackBerry]

i own a few acers part wooded n part old feilds n ive grown for years in my yard a few years ago my plants were stolen the plants were 2 til harvest time i posted the pix on this site n the next day they were gone all except 2 but now i wont post any more pix untill after harvest unless theres a problem

ok with that said
and its not like walking on a path n finding a plant or 2 just growing if its cultivated keep walking it cant be good to get arrested or meeting the grower whom is all wacked out on meth n hell beat u n sodimize ur ass n leave u for dead but on the other hand if it is uncultivated n wild then go ahead roll it up n smoke it all but the chemisty of the wild Cannabis spp says ull not get u high maybe hungery tired n hungover

please dont take found plants

[IanCurtisWishlist]

my friend grew 1 female plant in his yard all season. it was about 8 foot tall. his bastard neighbors ripped them off one night and they probably lost 1.5 pounds :(

now if the ganja was growing on my property and somebody trespassed to steal my marijuana, i'd probably shoot them till they aren't moving anymore (or ever again!!) and it would be my right. that's attempted burglary and it would probably hold up in court (i'm no lawyer though).

[damargentina]

It happend to me this year, I had 30 from the start went down to 15, day of harvest 0. It fucking sucks. They left us the smallest, shiestyist plant there. the year before that my brothers plant was stolen right from out backyard, year before that same deal. This year im goin indoors, im from a shiesty dog eat dog city. One day im going to throw a brick thru that kids window, karma's a bitch.

i feel you

[niljack]

The fucking drug buzyness is full of all kinds of creepizoid violent bastards. We are a bunch of pot smokers, do we have to go there? If a bunch of plants is as important to you as your first born you have an attitude problem. There is an old saying in the outdoor grow world, plant three, one for the cops, one for the rippers and one for you. The way I look at it the more people growing the more the cops are diverted from my grow. Leave it alone and grow your own, it's easy.

so if the person just took the things you have been waiting for all season, spent money on, and took precious time out of your days to make sure they live, and those things could finance you that whole year, we have an attitude problem? if you don't get mad at that, something is wrong with you. no one needs to be ripped off. but i see it as, that person would take mine so im gonna take his/hers.

[bcgrown]

I think once you have put the time and effort and money into growing it yourself and spend as much time as some us growers, do to make sure things go right and when its all taken "I personally had plants stolen and they cutt them down 2weeks earlly" they got a bunch of premature buds outa it

But ya once you do grow and have had it happen you will change you views and ideas on this.. I have stumbled across a few outdoor patches NEVER ever took a thing just checkd it out from a distance and got the hell outa there... YOU never know.. I have heard of some pretty sick stuff.. "grenade attached to string" shotgun mounted at knee level things of that nature are not uncommon here in BC... There are just soo many outdoor crops out there and people will goto whatever extent to protect there plants and yes this means blowing your legs off... or even killing you.. I find this extreme and just overkill but some have been burnt too many times and feel payback is in order. Never know with people out there.... There are alot of people who grow pot just for money and couldnt care less about anything else.


Find plants or hear about were plants are just leave them alone, or risk the obvious. :mad:

Plus there is a thing called KARMA

DONT LET IT BE YOU

Just WALK AWAY. Don't approach the plants. Don't take the plants. Don't tell your buddies you found a garden. Just LEAVE THEM BE.

If you steal a Plant The good old KARMA should Ripp your Ass open... I fortunatly have not had any plants stolen growing indoors yet- NO ONE KNOWS I GROW!!!!! Rule #1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. That is how 90% of the time shit comes up missing. After reading this Thread I will be setting up some booby Traps in and aound the entrances to my little room... I can not stand Theifs and Liars and they go Hand and Hand. They should all DIE... Well hope the 2008 Season goes Great for all the Gorillas on CanCom... I fucking hate my neighbor though he is a Theif and a Liar I hope one of his Scum friends wack his shit or they get Mold... The Deuch He is!!!

No it's just not fun to end up with a ten penny nail in your foot.


Best bet is to leave em be and forget you ever saw them. If you happen to stumble upon a LARGE crop, turn 180 degrees and get far far away.

Watch for booby traps, armed guards. Respect private property.

Mexican Drug Cartels are supposedly using armed guards on national land to protect their LARGE cash crop.

Things will go great. Most folks are scared of what lurks in these woods, mainly me. :)

Me on the other hand am worried about deer. I don't booby trap my Guerilla grows either, because I put them where there is no human traffic.
It's a small crop, 7 females and 1 male.

Bet both their ear are the same size and shape.:D (think about it.)

Karma shmarma! Wrong is wrong.!
If momma tied 'em to a tree in a forest fire, or took 'em shopliftin' on weekends, I can see where they might be a bit confused.:confused:
But, they can always look it up.
Maybe google "golden rule" and think about how THEY would LIKE to be treated.
Gonna have to delude myself that half of 'em are jokin bought stealing someones ohana.
Sure hope so.
Just makes me :sadcrying

Well, love and aloha to 'em.
Sound like dey need some.

[stinkybudz]

OK My friend and I's older brother showed us this field of wild cannabis, and its some pretty good stuff! Super SEEDY but considering how much seeds it was its still stronger then schwag + we can cure it and it doesnt get all harsh and chesty, its about the size of a large city block filled with 10 footer trees, and this stuff has been growing there for over 20+ years, and he said it still smells *PINE SAP Yay..* and tastes exactly the same... perhaps some hippy abandoned his crop and it keeps growin back? The cops have known for years, but they chop it down every year, late of course... and then it just grows back

[puharnik]

I actually found plantation in the wild three years in a row (2005-2007). All in the radium of 1 km. At least twice there must have been the same person growing them.
1. time i found them it was a really nice plantation of 16 plants. Found them 2 months before harvest time. I was a little scared, not knowing to whom they might belong. Then i was facing a moral dilemma for a month and then i let them be.

2. time i was still under influence of the former year so i searched the near area in the time of harvest, found 4 small plants and let them beacause there's really no sense to rob a guy for less than 100 g, for which he take care for 5 months. Obviously he wasnt some kind of hot shot.

3. time found plantation of 20 plants also about 2 months before harvest. I was seriously considering taking some of them. Came in the time of the harvest to take a look and there was water in the near area so i should have had boots to cross it, but i didnt, so i didnt come back.

Funny thing, 1st and 3rd time i found them looking for a place to grow my own and every time i suspected i am up to something few meters before i laid my eyes on them. My heart started beating harder when i was punching through the bushes, i just knew it :)

I dont regret not taking them and i think any grower shouldnt. Maybe thats why i've the fortune that no one else is fucking with my plants. Its really a special feeling when i plant them and out of caution leave them for a month or more, come back and see how big, nice and smelly they've become. Untouched.

[MISTER MANANA]

I say take em!!!

you guys doing all this talk about legalization. well until it happens and most likley it never will because america thrives off of probabtion ,jails, and fines for narcotics which include mostly weed cases!!!

so for all you guys out here that live in states where it isnt legal it most likely will never happen soon.

I say this. If you find a plant even if its in someones backyard dont take it premature!!
if you can get it sometime after the 1st week of october then take it. but dont go take someones plant when its still not flowering that is bullshit!

I look it at it like this. IF your walking through the woods and someone was hanging dollar bills from it like ornaments would you say .." wow" look at this cool tree that someone decorated. Im going to leave it here so someone else will take it or whatever. I truly dont give a fuck! I say steal it,but do it right! and dont be dumb about it. Dont steal it early and Dont go home and dry it in the microwave or under a light!!!

FREE GAME!!!

I think who ever made this post is clearly retarted and dont realize that in most states weed plants hold a bigger criminal charge than having weed in a bag! and since this is true it carries a jail sentence and if not atleast a year of probabation and thats after paying $1500 for a lawyer and another $500-$1000 in fines!!
Its illegal and in my state MICHIGAN! it will always be!
what are they going to do,make it legal? fuck no!
its a money generator. what would happen to the DEA ,and all the special investigators that spent there life building a career for themselves to bust people who usually only deal with weed? what about the probabtion officers?
what about the piss test companies!
thats gotta be atleast 1000 jobs in each state just based on a good percentage of weed cases! the shit aint gonna happen.
we would be better off trying to make drinking and driving legal!!

[pipemanpiper]

i would leave alone you could be blamed. it aother thing to jail for someone eles ,or you could end up missing, if they found out you mowed there lawn,it best to leave thing like how you found it

[GeddaLiddleHI]

well i say just leave them alone as well, but only for the reason that i'd be pissed if someone did it to me. call it "do unto others...", call it karma, call it the golden rule, whatever, i'm not smokin your bud unless you invite me. Although I do wonder, since cannabis is a plant that was growing for thousands of years before someone decided it should be illegal, is it just growing wild somewhere? and what'd they do about all the ones that were once it WAS illegal? but i'm still not takin it if i find some out in the woods. aaaanyway, question for stinky. (want2beagrower recommended i ask you, but i couldn't find any way to pm.) i'm planning to crossbreed White Widow and Power Skunk; do you know if anyone's tried that before?

You'll probably die from a gunshot wound in the middle of somebody's grow. And the world will be a better place for it.

[trickdaddy450]

Stealing plants is flat out wrong have it happen to you one time and you'll know what it's like. I would have to say its one of the worst feelings. I lost my plants the day be4 harvest this year and I was not happy.

[SketchyTom]

round my area people pay 60 quid just for a pot with a few leaves cummin out the soil ...... so im guessin if how much would someone pay for a plant thats flowering ...... me personaly i cannot say no to free weed if im not stealing it i mean cmon if its in a pulic area there is the risk anyways


i no some people are against it i mean i ent really 100% for taking the stuff thats not mine but it could save me alot ov money and would save me from doing dodgy deals on the streets

[stinkyattic]

Do it's less 'dodgy' to STEAL something than to buy on the street? WTF kinda stupid logic is THAT?

[flyingimam]

I would NOT touch it

simply for these reasons:

1. It could well be a setup, monitored by police
2. Assume someone does it to you, how would u feel then? Don't do to others what u don't like others do to u (I know bible says something along these lines, but this is coming from common sense)
3. You may touch some gang's bread n butter n they may find out, then u gotta run for your life for 'a lil free weed'
4. Karma will always return the favor, in weird forms sometimes, u take it and for some reason u may just get pulled over on that specific trip, there is ALWAYS A PAYBACK, KARMA will always complete the equation

[Gatekeeper777]

I Personally know of someone that had ALL 45 plants stolen. HE WAS PISSED. Rightfully so. If I ran across it in the wild if it was vegg'in i would take a couple clones and leave in peace.
If It was flowering I would memoerize the spot and come back in mid oct for a free harvest. If it were somenes private operation I would take a pinch, Not all of it , but leave my mark to let him/her know that he/she needs to be more careful and find a better spot.

[stinkyattic]

If It was flowering I would memoerize the spot and come back in mid oct for a free harvest.So you would take it if it was flowering? Is 'free harvest' a euphamism for 'taking someone elses' shit'? Jesus. I hope all you thieves live somewhere FAR away from me. I'm embarrassed to share your chosen hobby. Truly.

[LolaGal]

I have heard of people being caught ripping off stuff...after they had it home. Talk gets around. One story was this dude got near drowned in the river over rip-offs. If the cops hadn't arrived he would've been in trouble. The cops never knew why the dude was being drowned...

How do you know that when you are ripping somebody off that they are not watching you from afar? There are digital cameras left in the woods these days to record who comes and goes. A ripper could lead a psycho right back to their innocent family. Not everyone is laid back.

Only if it were growing wild.
If it were someones grow I wold steel the plant. I would however sample his/her talants with a nug or two. nothing big. Kinda like a reward.

I hope you find some nasty feral hemp, spend a week trimming it, and find out that it gives you a headache.

Thanks to that jackarse, my wife has totally put the clamp down on my new hydro room plans. She's too afraid of the next bum looking for a cheap score.

Do unto others my friends. Best advice ever given.

[lunarose]

It seems to be a no brainer to me just smile admire nature's beauty and keep on truckin.

[SouthernGuerilla]

Everyone respects a gun.

:wtf:

[southerntoker]

i would be pissed to, buttttttttt....... heard a jamaican ganja farmer say he had problems with theives and he was mad but told me you cannot steal a plant that god has put on the earth for everybody to have

[SouthernGuerilla]

thats the rasta in him

[axxxxe]

stumped is the only way to handle a ripper he will live and tell others what happened and no one will screw with your crop ever again. Sometimes we can learn from lowering ourselves to their level just once.

[marijuanavillebilly]

if i stumbled upon some ganja growing, obviously cultivated.

i would probably leave a little post card saying good job.

then do it again.

then leave one last card with BOARDS . CANNABIS . COM on it!

if you have ever had your crop stolen you know the pain, so why pass that pain on to someone else.

i think a congrats would be kinda cool to find.

[nysurf]

I know a kid who stole a whole farm (0ver 100 plants) from someone.. He got caught by the cops selling it a few weeks later. Its called Karma. Out here (hawaii) they say if you see it, then at that same time someone sees you. Get the fuck out of there ASAP. Dont even stop to smell it. Just go home and stay there. And cross that trail off your hiking list.

[JRichter]

Start a clone, and grow your own! :D Might be a hella dank plant, and yours could turn out better :P

[mrkaya]

yeah i would leave a note recommending they conceal there plants a bit more, i mean if i saw it, chances are a few other people will who might report it to the police and as turbojoe said i would have to compliment there grow in some way

[mrkaya]

oh and shit taking a cutting for clones is a good idea would include that in the note as well

[ChipThaRipper]

wow man great post that is so true....:rastasmoke:

[MDFinest]

I love stinky.. always says the right things

[mtrxdrgn]

wtf, alotta people are much less than kind lol. If I found a plant in the wild and it's a blooming girl, or just a very healthy looking one vegging, i'd just take a couple cuttings to clone and be on my way. doesn't damage the plant itself really(i guess other than the stuff she woulda got from the leaves.) never take bud from someone elses plant without their consent....:thumbsup::jointsmile::hippy:

[syde00]

you are taking bud by taking clones from a plant... as bud sites would come from the parts you cut off.

[Joefarmer]

I once heard of booby traps found at a grow site that "only a Nam' Vet' would know how to make." They were basically shotgun shells pointed at kneecap level. Ouch!

[Joefarmer]

A friend once went to visit his grow spot, got there only find some dude in full camo with a bow fully drawn at him. Dont' fuck with hunters.

[syde00]

A friend once went to visit his grow spot, got there only find some dude in full camo with a bow fully drawn at him. Dont' fuck with hunters.

this is true... i know of somebody that was growing outdoors on his own property and found others snooping around his grow sites... he yelled out into the bush that he was going back to the house to get his shotgun and that he suggested they leave the area immediately. needless to say... they were long gone very quickly.

[azziman]

This thread reminds me of the Friday The 13th remake!:thumbsup:

[MichToker360]

its a sad day to be a stoner when all these people who call themselves stoners justify stealing someone's hard work and effort. i'm really gonna feel bad when one of my booby traps blows someones knee off:)

[LetsSeeYa]

Im new to growing. About 3 years worth. But every night i go to bed im thinking some asshole will take them. And the thing is, there a mess right now. But when iv fixed the problem il have fishing line tide to cans that would wake the dead!

Its just wrong people, have a bit of morality!

[FreeDaHerb]

Well, forgive me if I come off too frank here but most of you seemingly well meaning would be clone takers are forgetting how absolutely f*cked you will be if you get caught with them on the way home...assuming it's not from a plant behind your house there are obviously some seriously logistical issues with just "taking clones" from plants you find. You risk getting busted for their grow in the process by just being there in addition to your house/apt getting raided because if you are caught anywhere with live plants or clones even if it's in the middle of the woods trust me they are coming in your house and you are getting investigated.

Next, to all the wannabe Rambo's out there touting the booby traps and make-shift shotgun rigs..this is a really really really big no-no no matter what. You might get a slap on the wrist best case scenario for a few outdoor plants but once you involve booby traps and weapons we are talking best case scenario you only do the next 10 - 20 years in a federal prison. It's one thing to grow a few pot plants but you NEVER EVER EVER risk human life over it. If a police officer or other human being were to get hurt or God forbid KILLED by your dangerous theft deterent system and they find you..you are soooooooooooooooo absolutely toast. (they most likely will because you would'nt know about it until they busted your ass and threw away the key)

In closing, don't steal because you REALLY don't know who is watching....

Stealing is wrong and karma is very very very real trust me on that one.

Don't EVER go near or touch plants or clone them for that matter because your good green thumb intentions could also be mistaken as you stealing the plant by the owner and you might get your brains blown out or worse.

Don't EVER set booby traps or risk human life or safety because this is really really asking for trouble and possibly the rest of your life in prison, plus it gives all pot growers a bad name and we already have enough BS to deal with. If there is a trap or deadly device set by you there are a million and one things that could go wrong like maybe a kid finding your plants and not knowing better and you come to find a dead or severely wounded young child at your grow next time you visit..or see it on the news. Then what the hell do you do? And for some *strange* reason booby traps always seem to backfire somehow, it's just Murphy's law...if it can go wrong, it will whenever something as evil & negative as a booby trap is involved.

YOU are 100% responsible for whatever harm is done by the booby trap PLUS it's a deadly weapon in conjunction with an already existing felony for cultivation..very bad equation in the eyes of the law. And don't think you won't get caught if someone get's hurt or killed because you WILL, they will be sure of that even if it means scraping your DNA off every piece of evidence in the area and most likely video or even satellite's will be used to catch you. Why? Because you don't usually ever know it's gone bad until AFTER the fact. So be safe, sleep good at night..and NO "booby" traps ever..unless they are to catch stinky's sexy ripe perfect boobs hehehe :D

Now go grow your own & make sure you have multiple patches as back-ups!

If things are meant to grow well, they will. If not, then it just is'nt in the cards this time around..but, there can always be a next time if you do the right thing!

:rastasmoke: :thumbsup:

[denotspot]

This question comes up every year about this time.

You might be out hiking and stumble across a single cannabis plant, or a whole bunch of them.

Your first reaction might be, "wow, that's a lot of pot, I can't wait to get it home and smoke it! That's enough for the whole winter!", or even "I bet I can sell that stuff and pay off my car loan!"

But please stop and think for a moment.

Someone has put those plants there, taken risks, and worked hard caring for them since June. They aren't just growing there by themselves and someone is going to be heartbroken that they're gone.

Think about the grower as another person.

Maybe they would like to have some smoke for the winter, but can't afford the prices that dealers charge.

Maybe they are growing a few plants to sell.

Maybe they are counting on that income to help buy food and fuel for the coming winter.

Remember too that one of the obstacles to the legalization of cannabis is the theft, violence, and general dishonesty that can spin off of it. When tokers can be ethical and all get along without stealing each others' stashes, and then having the snots beat out of them for it, the case becomes stronger that it is a relaxing and peaceful way to alter your perceptions.

So when you stumble on a plant in the woods, remember that as a toker, you are part of this community. Just leave it there for the person who grew it.
im so glad to see some one say this as well i was growing 7 plants scadderd thro the woods and now im down two only one plant and i kno it was ppl not anything else the left diggin tools at the site i was so pissed and have no idea who the were

[zcarlson]

Well it looks like it's ok to shoot & kill someone stealing your plants, at least in California anyway: Man not Charged (http://www.latimes.com/news/yahoo/la-me-pot24jan24,1,1408342.story?coll=la-newsaol-headlines)

So far anyway...they may come back and charge him yet still. Sorry about someone dying but this just shows how stealing someones plants can have serious repercussions.

I just read through this thread and there are some very good points made. I certainly would be very upset is someone stole my plants. But, that is a risk you take growing illegally and on public/some one elses land.
The issue that I have with what some people have written has to do with booby traps and inflicting bodily harm.... If you are growing weed to sell it, what makes you any different than the mexican cartels who grow to finance harder drugs and violencs? You are doing the same. If you are willing to actually harm another person over a plant you are the worlds biggest idiot with the worlds smallest pecker. If I ever found a grow with a booby trap I would destroy the grow and leave it for the growers to find. If I walked onto someones grow and they threatened me I would have no problem calling the cops and identifying the persons responsible. Hurting someone over weed is something a tweaker would do and belive me some posts have sounded like they were put here by tweakers.
If everyone here knows as much and has as much experience as they claim then hopefully you would be smart enough to put your plants where someone wont find them. IF YOUR PLANTS ARE TAKEN CONSIDER IT A LESSON LEARNED. Maybe you shouldnt put them in your backyard in plain sight of the neighbors and where there is no way the plant(s) cant be connected to you. Maybe you shouldnt grow them 40 feet off of a trail used by many people, if you are planting that close then how much work have you really put in?, you deserve to get ripped.
My point is this.
Stealing=bad
harming a person over weed = very stupid and desperate
Planting in a well traveled area = stupid
Maybe if your plants are taken all the blame should not be placed on the culprit but rather the grower for putting them somewhere so easily found.

[CaptainDankNuggets]

I would just leave them they way that I found them its someone elses work.

If you find reason that there abandoned and not being taking carw of, then by all means do what you got to do.

[GreenerGrocer]

Too true man!! I never thought about what I'd do if I came across a plant until now.

[Dieselbong]

Theft from an individual is wrong but as far as wal mart or any other large corp take it all they are the prime example of greed and everything that is going wrong in this economy.

[irieone]

Ethically it is never right to steal from anyone regardless if what they are doing is illegal. Recently a person i thought was a friend broke into my pad and stole my christmas crop, that i was banking on. I found where he was and he told me he did it because it was christmas and he needed the loot. Yeah who doesn't need the loot 4 any reason, i can think of milions. I didn't fight w/the guy because that would have done nothing the shit was gone. I couldn't get anything back what a shame. This guy who did this is obviously a scum-bag. He doesn't have shit and will never be shit. I'm not saying this just because he ripped me off but he has ripped off mutual friends for things and no one coud ever prove it. People give people the benefit of the doubt and i've seen it bite them in the ass more times than not. I caught the bastard the next day, the great case of the cannabis caper was solved and I got some closure for myself and my friends, I hope. My point is that this guy has a shitty life and always will. He will bring upon him more wrath then i could deliver to him, by continuing to be a scum-bag. I'm sure to this day that i will never see him again. It was a little cost to get rid of such a scum-bag but well worth it.

[Shirtntie]

It takes a lot of integrity to leave someone's growing crop alone. Let alone a field of it.. stay true to honesty and in return karma will be good to you..

[McLuvin]

If you happen upon an outdoor grow-op I would get the fuck out of there ASAP. You never know who is running it and what they may do to protect their crop and location. I.E. Killing your ass so you cant tell anyone.

[Nik]

to plant weed where it would be found hiking then it would deserve to be stolen. i would take it before the next stoner comes runnin along and snags it up, or even worse a fuck FDA or Cop finds it and kills it all together... in other words, yes, if someone were dumb enough to plant weed where people will find it then it is their own stupidity to blame.:rasta:

[demoreal]

I would leave them. Stealing is against my morals. Big time.

[stra8outtaWeed]

i'll pipe in here since being a former USFS empoyee in my younger days and being a supervisor of maintaining the Pacific Crest Trail in the Shasta-Trinity National Forests...1 when out i never had my uniform shirt on..always changed to some sort of t-shirt with heavy metal bands in it. 2. if i smelled it i noted the area and stayed the fuck away 3. never told a sould about it 4. never steal someones work..you never know what they will do to protect it. Even though you are in the great outdoors how would you feel if someone came barging into your home...you would protect it. My life is worth far more than what i cuold drag away...so jacking it never crossed my mind!:smokin:

[ShastaCoMan]

you can tell if a plant in the wild is actually a "wild plant" or if its something someone else has been tending.if its an actual "voluntary" plant " (I.E. a plant that has just come up on its own, NOT something someone has planted and is taking care of) and it is in prime bud, by all means harvest the mother f**ker. if its something that someone is tending, dont screw around with it, dont touch it, do nt leave a god damn note ,get the f**k OUT OF THERE. problem these days if its a grow three things could happen.

(there are literally thousands of voluntary plants that pop up each year along the rivers, canals,ect from stoners throwing their seeds away, or from birds,ect..ive found them all over the lace along the sacramento river and sloughs along freeport out of sacramento by the river before.)

1. most gorilla growers anymore boobytrap their grows. there have been grenade trip wires, doorbangers* ,hookwires** and all sorts of other goodies designed specifically to f**k you up for being in the grow area.....

2. its very possible that, if the grow is more that just a few plants, there are armed guards that are only there to defend their crops, and wont hesitate usually to shoot your ass and use you for fertilizer in their gardens.

one time about 25 years ago, i was walking thru a remote area deer hunting above oroville. i got on an extremely fresh deer trail and started sneaking along thru the woods looking for the herd as the trail had some huge buck tracks on it, and deershit that was literally still steamin. so im sneaking along, and all of the sudden it dawned on me i was standing in a grove of someones plants. thee must have been 500 of them. anyway, before i knew it , this old guy (about 50,old to me at the time before i got old....LOL) stepped out from behind this tree about 10ft to the side of me and said "HELLO!". I turned around just in time to see he had a sawed off double barrel shotgun pointed at my head. he asked me "what are you doing out here??" and i of course explained to him i was deer hunting and was following a fresh deer trail. he then said they always had alot of deer in the area as they were attracted to the smell of the "forest vegetation" i smiled and told him "can you blame them"? and he sort of laughed. we talked about 10 minutes, and when i was ready to leave, tw MORE guys popped out that i didnt even know was there, and the old man asked me "did you se anything?" and i told them "not a damn thing." he told me "usually you wouldnt be walking away from here, but i like you and i believe youll keep your mouth shut". he gave me a joint (shit ass weed by todays standards, but it was prime for back then) and told me to have a good da and good luck getting a buck, and i never saw them again, and of curse i never went back in that area that year...LOL believe me, that was the exception to the rule as usually large operation growers dont have any quomes about planting your ass. if it comes down between their 1000 plants and your ass, which is gonna win out? ;)

3. the cops have found the crop, and are doing covert surveillance on the crop to try to catch the growers. if your stumbling thru the woods and run up on someones grow and start harvesting buds, how wold you explain that to the cops? "see officer, i was only taking these to bring into town so i could call the police and show them proof......NO SIR i wasnt gonna smoke it!...NO WAY, its NOT MY CROP, i just FOUND it!"..they would tell you tough luck buddy! all the time their packin your ass to jail!


point is, if its one thats just came up on its own, go for it, if its part of a crop (scout around before even touching the plant and look for more, for traps, for the feds,ect.....) , leave it alone and get the f**k out of dodge and dont come back.


*(a tripwire bobbytrap thats wired to a ultra small "shotgun barrel" about 4" long contaning a firing mechanism thats activated by the tripwire. not accurate over 20ft, but if you trip the wire everything within its range is obliterated with buckshot)

[JungleSuperstar]

take a nice bud off (if its near harvest)

and leave a note saying 'your secret is safe with me' ;)

[JungleSuperstar]

on what i sed above.....

do unto others as u wud have them do unto you!!

if someone found my plants and did that i wudnt care id be happy that they didnt rob em all in fact i probably wudnt even notice a bud missing lol

and if i found someone there id ofer em a bud to shut up

just saying this before someone says im a heartless thief

[redfox30]

I might get starstruck at first and suddenly, will stop and think "wow, what a very nice stuff I've got".... then leave it alone! Just that :D

[Weedornot]

I have 5 acres and a few years back was walking my back acre near the lake and stumbled across 25 plants. They were ready to harvest and I had a good hunch who the plants belong too but no proof.

I did leave a small note saying this is on my property, do not get me into trouble.

few weeks later went up to lake to go fishing at my usual spot and found a small cooler, 6 pack of beer, half oz and a note saying sorry and thanks for not taking my stuff.

See how that sheet works...Great job, well done. Leave other peeps stuff alone.

[bronc76]

I lost half my plants a few years back and would have killed the person that took them. I worked way too hard to get them to that point. They were like eight to ten feet tall and on my 10 acres of land. Damn that sucked!

[oldhaole]

Allow me to throw out some things that happened to me in my younger years growing in the cane fields.

You have a exceptional patch. August is ending, your plants are starting to bud. You notice a few seeds scattered throughout your girls. You take the next two hours checking for the tiny bit of fag that you missed. Nothing. Where are they comming from? What do you do?...or...

You did a lot of work that day, you're burnt, and the sun was setting so you slammed your last 10 holes in a single empty spot and called it a day. Months pass, your plants are getting nice. On your last trip in you find that someone has put a small patch of three holes 50 ft away from your grow. What do you do?...or...

You come in for harvest. Your plants are gone. The stems are still wet so you know it was done recently. As you look around you notice a scuff mark going deeper into the field. Next you find a boot print. You follow the trail back and find some nice early budded plants. What do you do?

In the first case the only place pollen could come from is another grow. You head upwind (thank you trade winds) and sure enough you find another grow with a big male in full bloom. In this case I ripped up the other patch. Didn't want to have seeded buds due to someone else's mistake or lazyness.

The second case those three may come back to haunt you. If they do good the growers will come back and put more in. You rip them out, cut the drip lines and cut and stomp a trail in from a different direction. Make it look like green harvest was there. I was there first and I don't want anybody planting on top of me. Or finding my plants.

The third case was personal. I searched the entire block and found quite a bit more. Let them go into full bud. Kept my eye on that field,and learned they like to work on the weekends. Then, when they were fat and jucy I took the tops. On Friday, a day or two before they came in to harvest. Two weeks later I came back and took the rest. Left one behind, stripped her to the stems. On that stem I hung a single dollar bill.

In my field adventures I have stumbled over many other grows. A few were big and ready. All I left alone except those three. Two threatened my crop. The last was payback. More than once I have pulled and moved my just planted starts because the area is occupied.

Getting ripped off is not fun. I hurts. But it is the cost of playing the game. I will rip up your grow if it threatens mine. Or if you steal from me and leave an obvious trail back to yours. It is also a painful way to be taught a lesson. But it is a lesson you will remember. Most of you would have done the same thing if you were in my shoes.

Proclaiming to the world how honest you are is all well and good. Waiting around to meet the grower is a good way to get hurt. We don't want to meet you. Grid searching a cane field is a good way to have your car set on fire or your bike stolen while you are making noise in the field. Do this for a decade or two and you get very good at tracking and putting yourself in the other persons shoes. Leaving a note will just force the guy who's plants you found to take them early. The best thing to do is to get out of there and forget the entire day.

Don't go out of your way to look for other plants unless you want to work the area. If you want to work there check the entire place well. Some extra searching may save you a lot of disappointment down the road. If you feel bad about a place, your feelings are right a lot of the time. Don't question your feelings. Just walk away.

Above all stay safe. Weed is just a plant. No matter what they did it is never worth phyisicaly hurting another human being. It can easily screw the rest of your life up. And it just is not worth it. In the big picture I can hide and plant them faster than the punks can find them and swipe them.

I have rambled for too long. Time to take a few more hits and go to bed.

[budlover13]

I live in Central Cali and we have a LOT of small farms(5-10 acres) in the area that are notrious for growing bud. Most of these fields are owned and farmed by Asian immigrants who sell their vegetable to local grocers, restaraunts, and at farmers markets. Every year several are busted for large scale grows. Usually 5000+ plants. Since so many are busted, it only seems to reason that there are quite a few that didn't. I have known quite a few people that will cruise around and look for these fields and then raid them at night. Their thinking is that they are stealing from a criminal so what difference does it make. I've even heard one try to justify it by saying that at least he knew it wasn't going to end up being sold to some kid. I've also seen a few get arrested(looks kinda suspicious driving through fields at night) and a couple get the crap kicked out of them. You would think this would be a good deterrent, but they are gearing up for this years harvest. Absolutely SHAMEFUL!

[Gatekeeper777]

It's popular to grow in corn fields here as well as other places. Driving down the road in certain places you can smell the sweet goodness. I just smile and keep driving. I am sure it would be easy to locate her by smell. but i figure if there is honor among thieves, then why not a sense of honor among stones?
are thieves any better? When you take someone else hard work you have no honor.

[dukesdad]

Go ahead and steal someones plants, but be willing to pay the consequences.
If I catch anyone near mine, they get what they deserve. No, not guns or booby traps.
Mine are well hidden on private property, where nobody should be out for a stroll.
The only strollin thru the woods I do is on my property, and would be kind of upset to find someone elses grow.
These people that would come on my land, and leave a grow, deserve to lose it.
No sharing, or taking clippings or leaving notes or other B.S. They are putting me and my property at risk, and if found by the wrong people, cause me greif.
Rant over.
I would never go on anyone elses property without permission, and definitely would not take anything belonging to another without asking.

[gr8misadventures]

19 plants put out, 5 plants stolen.

2 were stolen from a location we believed was used the previous season by someone else.

Our Mother was stolen the day before we went to harvest her, along with a smaller plant that was next to her.

The final straw, this season alone, was the drywaller who stole a plant from behind my shed, on my property, in broad daylight. While I was at home and believed he was downstairs doing what he was paid to do.

19 plants, or 5000 plants, I will defend what I work for. Unfortunately, until we have a proper justice system, this could include violence at times.

[snugglewitme]

if i see weed growing in the wild ill take as much as i can get
weed is an illegal substance and its grown on no ones property

[SYNE4Life]

:yeahright:
Says who? They are taking the time to grow an illegal substance outdoors in the middle of nowhere. If it were private property I would think twice. But if it were in a public spot damn right I will be taking a closer look.

[budbudding]

Good Post ! ,. My moto is that you dnt have a dog and bark ya self ! ,.If you get what i mean ?? ;) ...

you didnt

I think courtesy is virtue worth more than Patience if you ask me. Good to see someone making a post like that:jointsmile:

[john235]

Reminds me of a story my dad told me .He was from alabama and when he was a boy ,he walked up on a moonshine still. He kept walking and latter in the day he was downtown and a guy walked up to him, and said "good thing you kept walking" You never know, the plot may be guarded and it is best to just keep on walking

[Purple Daddy]

My dad used to do handyman type work including mowing yards, he had people help him from time to time and this one guy who was helping him borrowed one of my dads mowers and wouldn't return it. My dad went to the guys house one day, guy wasn't home but there were a few nice plants in buckets on the porch so my dad grabbed a couple and drove off!

Not the smartest move and I asked my dad never to tell anyone about this cause he told me like the day after he took them. Fortunately nothing bad came of it but it had me worried.

[Medicaldelivery]

you smoke it, you roll it up and smoke it.

[Flip_Flop]

If I found the plants early on in the season I would leave, go home, grow around 10 male plants indoors then go back around six weeks before harvest with the male plants and try to pollinate all the females...

No, not really, I wouldn't do such a thing. I just have a twisted imagination,, lol.,

[mr_majestic]

I completely understand the posters here but when planting guerrilla style in the woods, there are inherrent risks. Bottom line, its not your land, its public land. So literally what you reap is what you sow. I also notice that many of the people posting in this puritanical "no bro leave that shit alone" type way, probably a) would steal it anyway and b), do they see all things in this super honest way or just things related to weed? If their friend's super hot girl offered them a blow job without their friend knowing, would they take it? You fuckin bet.

[mattj12pint2]

ide leave a note saying, we should pow wow sometime lol

[backwoodsganja]

i plant every where i hike, i like to look at myself as "johnny-pot-seed" i travel along the trails i hike popping seeds into the ground lol never know one day i might venture that trail again and find it growing strong

[backwoodsganja]

ide leave a note saying, we should pow wow sometime lol

hahah that would be hilarious

[Michael Oliver]

Thanks for the sage advice Bro!

[Mainely Growing Weed]

Having last year's harvest stolen 4 weeks before harvest time I can say that anyone low enough to steal from someone's stash deserves what he/she gets.

[drydraws]

I expect half of my grow to be found/ripped off each year.Last year, ALL my grow was found/ripped off:mad:
this is a MUST year

[pyeyed1]

It happend to me this year, I had 30 from the start went down to 15, day of harvest 0. It fucking sucks. They left us the smallest, shiestyist plant there. the year before that my brothers plant was stolen right from out backyard, year before that same deal. This year im goin indoors, im from a shiesty dog eat dog city. One day im going to throw a brick thru that kids window, karma's a bitch.

the kids karma is the kids karma ... mite wanna let his karma unfold as it will on its own........ to think you have to enforce it or help it along .....

Well in Kentucky, us hilljack kush growin ganja farmers usually tie up a rattlesnake after we cut the rattlers off its tail so yo don't even hear it.. in reality that's as legit as it gets Cuz here, its either take it or leave it and most of the time when someone walks up on a crop they steal it.

Please read my experience- I didn't want to steal anything and almost lost my foot!

I had this happen to me a couple years back. Had about 20 plants in the woods behind my house. I went to check on them one day and every last one was gone. I was kinda freaking out at first cause I though it might have been cops ya know? I never heard anything so I decided it was just some jerk stealing my stash. The next year I got smart and planted about 30 plants, in groups of two all over my land so that if they found them again they wouldn't find them all. It was a LOT more work taking care of them since I had to walk a lot more but worth it. By the time harvest rolled around i had 18 plants still. A few I'm sure were eaten by deer or what not but I salvaged the rest and might i add that it was some righteous bud.
