is the house's owner held accountable, as well as the resident grower?
Landlords and owners of property are bound to ensure that tenants aren't breaking the law.
There are laws covering the issue of allowing property to be used for illegal purposes, if your fathers name is on the deed then it is his responsibility to ensure this does not happen.

BTW
These laws have been used to sieze the assets of various people under the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984 , under this act it makes the responsibility of owners quite clear. The "owner" must be pro-active in ensuring that thier property is not being used for illegal purposes and must take any steps to prevent it.
A yacht owner had his vessel siezed under these laws after his boat was used for a party and a remnant of a joint was found . it was decided that since he "allowed" the vessel to be used for illegal purposes he must face the consequences. The courts decided that since the owner had not carried out sufficient checks it was his inaction that "allowed" his vessel to be used for the illegal activity of toking.
You would be placing your father in a very similar position
Ignorance of the law is not accepted by courts.

No.. It's my goal to speak the truth. He asked something and I answered him. He insisted that it was ok for him to do said legal activity.. I expressed to him once again it was not.
If telling someone they are putting their father in danger means that my sole goal is to make people's lives on here miserable then I guess it is.
I can't believe you went out of your way to talk shit about me in a legal forum where the guy was obviously wrong in what he believed to be acceptable in the eyes of the court. If you have a grudge against me then take it up with a mod. Don't go into other threads that I'm participating in just to be a jerk.

Oh no, I'm knocking you because you went out of your way to make this guy feel as bad as you could, as stupid as you could. God forbid you could have been polite to him in the first place. You made it seem INCONCEIVABLE that his father could buy him a cabin, AND called him out on his age for no apparent reason. Just making sure the douchbaggery makes a full circle.

I admit I'm a little naive when it comes to the legality of owning property. I'm adult, just not one who has owned property. I'm 24. I would never put anyone at risk, especially my own father, and this is all hypothetical anyways. I appreciate all of your comments. I gather that he could buy the property and turn the deed over to my name, thereby ridding himself of any responsibility. Is this correct? If so, that would seem to be the obvious solution... can't believe I didn't think of that. I guess I thought that the property would be under the name of whoever put up the money.

You need to watch yourself. You're in violation of board rules

Perhaps it was premature for me to assume he was a kid, but if you've read any posts you would know that people CONSTANTLY come here asking about growing in their parents place and then they end up being under age.
While I admit I should not have stereotyped him I don't think I put him down as much as you'd like to say. You are the one with the problem budahstank. You are the one who takes my words personally when they are just word. I'm sorry I don't talk to you the way that you like, but that's your problem not mine. If you don't like me it's very easy to just not acknowledge me when participating in a thread and if you feel as though I've done something wrong then I strongly suggest you go contact a mod and get it sorted out.
I have no problem with discussing any problem you may have with a mod.

Sorry about seeming so abrasive. Understand that we have alot of younger kids who come in here and ask this same question. I apologize for putting you in that category.
Yes, as long as the deed is in your name; aka the property is legally yours, then your father will bare no responsibility. :thumbsup:

no problem, I don't blame you. and I'm sorry for sounding skeptical of the danger I would hypothetically be putting my dad in.

If the Feds could prove that your father was aware of the grow, they could take the house and charge him with conspiracy to manufacture.
Your name should be on a legal deed or legal lease of any dwelling you choose to grow in, but do not own, to protect the owner. And it is in the owner's best interest never to set foot on the property. This gives reasonable doubt, should the unthinkable happen.
We do not discuss cash-cropping here by the way. If you choose to do something like this, please take all precautions to never put anyone else in danger, and please keep the 'pounds' discussion off the boards. Just a friendly reminder, thanks!
As a fairly recent homeowner (I bought my house at 26 and started growing in it a year later), I suggest getting comfortable in your home and career before taking the next step. It will save you a lot of stress down the road.

sorry, i'm beginning to realize that this forum is quite different from Overgrow.com, where the motto was "overgrow the government!" I should have read the rules before posting. And since Overgrow got shut down, Cannabis.com's tighter rules are probably for the better. I will never allude to "cash cropping" again.
However, it's undeniable that a forum like this is an excellent resource for anyone inclined to grow for profit. So I think it's a bit hypocritical to take a stance of opposition to "cash cropping" while at the same time spreading detailed instructional information about growing cannabis on a public forum.
