And coffee makers too. Coffee should only be allowed to be made in commercially zoned areas.

Lightning too!

*shakes fist at the heavens*

One time a mouse got stuck in my toaster and started a small toaster fire.

please don't put mice in the toaster any more! :thumbsup:

LOL

that musta been a righteous smelling bbq!

Just thought many would want to read this. I pulled it from another site, Skunk Skool, and it sounds like this person is close to the situation:


These two people are what my family call junk. they have had several DV calls on them several calls to dhs and nothing was done...2 of the kids' father wasnt even able to see them. It would have never came out, except for their arguments, which were really abusive. It wasnt booze, just plane stupidity on the Mom's part. The kids are in a great home now, they are in good care with many family and friends...Let the healing begin...

they should call it is what it is then. they didn't need to pull the weed card.

And you keep saying right in front of the kids, how do you know this? Do you think they were growing in the living room and play room? Maybe they were growing in their garage or a locked basement. Even so, tell me, how does a plant endanger a child?

Give me a freakin break--I AM FOR KIDS. I am a cancer survivor myself. I went through surgery, chemotheraphy--radiation the whole works--and never would have dreamed of growing in MY HOUSE while my kids were in it. During that time--I got my meds from someone else.

GET OVER IT--O.K.

Exactly--a bunch of dumb--asse's that not only put themselves at risk of fire and shock hazzard--but let their kids run around in this disaster too.

For What? To make a couple of extra dollars. Exactly--how much are YOUR kids worth?

If you're that freaking cheap that you can't build a freaking detached storage shed then you're really screwed up.

I agree that children have no place around commercial grows, but such operations will not be allowed in residences so this is unlikely to be a problem.

So if marijuana is manufactured, wtf do you do to make crack? A spell?

And with the comment about having the grow room in another area of the house, why does that make a difference, Unless the children were running around playing cards with Grand Daddy Purple, whats the problem. Its not liek they were making their kids water their plants for them or something? And in another perspective, why is teaching your children that medicine isn't mad but not to over do it wrong? So is having cough syrup around make you a bad parent because your kid can go Robo-Trip whenever he wants. Kids need to be informed, otherwise they will be mislead. Just like all the parents that believe marijuana is just like heroin because of fucking Reagan's anti-drug campaign that showed pot and a syringe.

Stupid people believe stupid things, so lets have less stupid people so we can fucking think for ourselves for a change.

The point is the ELECTRICITY--that is extremely dangerous if not installed by a professional electrician. Grow rooms using 1000 watt lights require circuits--the ballasts get very hot--and it is more of a commercial wiring application--not residential. We have a lot of idiots out there that will jerry-rig their panels-double tap existing breakers--install new circuits--not using the correct sized wire-or breakers-and they put in all this new wiring into very old panels. FPE--Federal Pacific lost it's UL rating over 20 years ago--but there are still many around. (The breakers are known not to trip--when they need too--so they just get hot--and start a fire--or someone gets shocked.)

Then they fill up their basements with all this-electrical jerry-rigging-- while their kids are sleeping above or below these rooms--and then wonder--when busted--why they got charged with "child endangerment".LOL.

It is so much better to use a detached shed or other area away from the house -- other than putting an entire family at risk of fire or shock hazzard.

If you're going to grow your own--do it safely.
