I got a call about an informant...

Just what the title says here boys n girls :(

I know I know I know the routine, the more peeps that know the more likely you are to get busted, right?

So besides all the wonderful peeps here only three other people knew about my grow. My wife, a friend of 16 years, and another grower.

The call:
A friend of mine, whom I haven't spoke to in almost a year, called me today. He also happens to be... uhhh... lets say he works with law enforcement but he himself is not a cop by any means. Outta the blue the phone rings and it went a little like this: Him: "Hey bro, we'll hafta catch up some other time, this is a business call...", Me: "Uhhh... ok, whats up?", Him: "No names, no details and this call never happened, ok?", "Sure, ok???", "Your safe for a bit but somebody snitched on you", "FOR WHAT?!?", "Just shut-up and get rid of everything NOW!!!"... then he hung up.

:( :( :( :( :(

So running like my head was on fire and my ass was catchin' any and everything that might raise questions disappeared from my property.

OHHHHH! IM PISSED!!!

I damn sure know my wife didn't say anything to anyone, she has just as much to gain/lose here as I. I doubt it was my friend of 16 years, him and I have actually been sittin in jail together several times refusing to flip on the other, sometimes we got lucky and were released, sometimes not.

BUT!!! The damn other grower I know... well funny thing, he vanished off the face of the planet about ten days ago. It's been rumored that his plants went with him but all of the sudden he's back on the block (not literally my block) acting like he doesn't have a care in the world and refuses to tell peeps anything other that "I just needed a break from stress for a while and left." He wont talk shop w/ anyone now either from what I've heard, and he hasn't called me in almost two weeks now, which is odd cause we usually spoke via phone or face to face 3-5 times a week. I've know this guy for bout 4 years now and thought I could trust him :wtf:

Now I know that a lot of peeps here are completely legal to do as they want concerning cultivation of whatever they wanna cultivate but there is also a lot of peeps here who have to stay underground, so to speak.

Let this be a warning, DON'T TRUST ANYONE!!! if you are a member of the underground!

So... now I gotta stay cool for a while. It may not lead to anything and this quite possibly could just be a very poor attempt at a practical joke but I sure as hell don't see any humor in it. Well...... It would be pretty funny if someone did show up with a magic paper to flip my house and walked away empty handed :D


Hmmpf, live and let live peeps...

Sounds like the other grower's a dime dropper. Texas is not a state I'd be growing with anyone knowing because of the time they can give you in Huntsville. :wtf: Real bummer :(, and if your warning tipster is right, good for him. :thumbsup:

Yepper. Looks like I'm in debt to him now.

EDIT: BTW, the other grower doesnt even know where I live other than the city. Also, not a single account here is under my name either :D

If they don't come in the next week I would say your name is on a list.

If they don't have enough for a full warrant they will come for what they call a Knock and talk.

This is where they come to the door to talk and one of the smartasses says I smell something and their you go a full blown search with probbably cause and no warrant needed.

If someone turned on you this would be a very sad story. This looks to me as if some one wanted to just put you out.

The only way to know for sure is the one who called. Sometimes they think they are doing you a solid but you don't know where they got their info.

A long time ago I had a friend that would tell all our friends I got busted or narced just so he could sell his half of a pound first. What a friend HUH.
Maybe you are stepping on toes that don't like it and they are too pussy to stand up and just confront you.

And the other grower acting wierd. Well that's acting. If he didn't know where you live then nothing he can do except get you on a list.

To narc one must see the weed in your house and for sure they will do like they did me. Sent my bastered nephew to buy from me because selling is way worse than anything else. If you don't sell they get real pissed off and turn the place inside out. LOL

Damn. When boy wonder went pycho last night they deleted all his post and even the not spam ones... alls well that ends well

Ya, I'm pretty familiar with the knock and talk. I've had my far share of run-ins with the long arm of the law and have made the mistake of opening the door before, not for cannabis but they had other reasons to nose around.

If they do show up for a knock and talk I'm not even gonna open the door. Gonna take a tip outta a vid and just yell through the window by the front door tell em that I dont open the door for the police, to have dispatch call me if they wanna talk or we can keep yelling through the window and tell them if they have a warrant they can kick the door in.

Other than that I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. After a week or so I'll call the bud that warned me and see what he has to say.

that's teriable. keep us posted

Never open the door for pigs......ever. Go get a warrant if ya wanna talk...and then you'll have to speak to my lawyer.

Snitches are a dying breed.

Watch out for garbage pulls too.

I had a couple of police officers knock on my door once and ask if this was a certain address, it wasn't. I was growing at the time and was smoking a big fat one when they knocked. :eek: thank god for attic fans. :jointsmile:

I still haven't seen any cops around my house.

Then again, I've lived here for a bit over 2 years and have only seen a sheriff out here once, nothing other than that and it was over 6 months ago...

I had an "acquaintance" give me a tour of his grow right after I got my card. It was nice because I got to see what I would be dealing with, but I warned him right off the bat to not show anyone else. He said he knew that I had a card so I was cool. I informed him that while I might be cool, the next guy might not. Nothing to do with the card. I even threw out the possibility that a licensed grower is more likely to rat you than an underground grower because the guy with a card has the law on his side. He said he never thought about it that way and I just said it was probably due to my "Trust no one, especially yourself." attitude.

you sir are a genius and quite honestly deserve an award for that comment alone that was spoken like a true veteran

Hi there i'm new to this site and this is only my second post but over here in the UK they also take your computer and go though all your internet history to build a case against you.

I hope you get back to normal soon. Have you had any more info from your 'friend'?

Good point, Hugo. That is why everyone should be using some sort of "InPrivate" browsing feature like the type found on IE when they are role playing this growing game ... that way it won't keep any history of your travels.

As for you Slevinkal, go over to the snitches house and give them a good kick in the keister :asskick: or if you like revenge there is a way to get the idiot back for flapping his gums to the the wrong people, although you don't strike me as the vengeful-type. :rambo:

at one point i was having regular traffic thru my house, but like you somebody flipped on me, the laws came to my house and raided but by then i had already caught wind of their plans and got rid of all the contraband.

but i learned my lesson, after that i got out the game.. now i'm just another smoker.

thats a bad idea. You want to know the best way to talk with the police and not allow them in? When they knock on the door you open it and step outside with them locking the door behind you. Now they can talk all the want, but they know they would need a search warrant to get into the house(unless you invite them in that is). This is what I used to do when we threw underage parties. There is a video somewhere out there that goes over the etiquette when you are talking with cops either at home or in your car.
