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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 =\

Well it looks like it's ok to shoot & kill someone stealing your plants, at least in California anyway: Man not Charged

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 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)

hell yeah joe,

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....

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

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.

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.

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. ;)

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 !!!

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:

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
