planes..trains..HELICOPTER

[allrollsin21]

Well i was out in the garden the other day applying some lst to the plants, which are right next to the house, and i see a helicopter combing the area. There is a big block of trees between us. Well they decide to see whats on the other side and they come right above me. Spot me and circle back and forth FOUR times. I was able to look right into their eyes, they were that low.
I felt violated and did not realize that my property ended directly above my sneakers. It was sensory deprivation. I am sure they shot some photos. I am well within the co-ops limits for medicinal growth, the problem is they do not know the limits from the helicopter. Now it is the waiting game to see if they decide they would like to barge into our home and rifle through our underwear drawers. I am not doing anything which is a crime, yet they could CHOOSE to violate our privacy even more.
I choose not to display doctor recommendations to those flying in the air because it is none of their damn business!:wtf:

Gaaak, don't they have anything better to waste gas on?
Go through and check your limits, and keep that rec on your person at all times in case they decide to come by for tea n crumpets.

as long as you have a card and are under the legal limits they wont fuck with you. if they were feds they are looking for 100 + plant grows, federal crimes.

when they were hovering they were probably counting your plants just for this reason.

you should build an awning over you plants with a tarp. next time you hear the choppers pull the tarp over them and give the popo the figure from the ground. you could even get some transparent plastic to put over them so the sun gets in but not prying eyes. in other words... looks like you need a greenhouse.

the problem is that even if the feds charge you they have to try you in Cali, they know a cali jury isnt going to convict someone for growing a few plants for thier backpain, they need people that are OBVIOUSLY doing it for large profits.

you might come back to your house one day and all your plants might look like someone poured acid on them, thats what they did to my plants in jersey that i would plant out in the woods. they dont even get out of the chopper anymore they just spray it with chemicals.

Good warning to double check the limits Stinky...I have counted enough times that i feel a little silly about it

Geoluv...as for pouring acid on my plants, these plants are with all my other tomatoes and vegetables and any acid pouring would be a very dangerous proposal. That sucks that they do that anywhere, but i think that to be the least of my worries out here. My dogs hang in the garden, and if someone were to pour acid on them, i may have to pour a gallon of Acid IN them:wtf:

The tricky thing is i am part of a co-op and grow for a total of four people. I have known these people since i have been able to talk, and they are all medical patients. It is all strictly following the county laws, yet the helicopter can only look, count plants, and decide that looks like too much for ONE person.

Oh well, none of this comes as a surprise to me and is a risk that i am willing to take to share the HERB!! Let it Burn...while the police burn the helicopter fuel...

i thought there was something you could get that you put on your roof so the copter would know you're medical in that county.

edit: some sort of banner or something I heard......

[allrollsin21]

I have heard of people posting their recommendations for the police to see. I also have seen that the police will raid the house anyway if they like.
I thought it best not to have a placard to draw extra attention as i am by no means "blowing it up". Just a simple little med-grow. I thought the copters would not even notice. In retrospect it would have been better to post it

Better late than never.

I was outside working in our orchard (not the garden). The heilo was 45+ feet over the top of the oak trees, it was a bit freaky, but I just waved (as we're in compliance), and the guy with the camera just waved back...

Now I know how Angela feels every time the paparazzi come on by...

It sure breaks up the serenity of the outside when a bell huey goes floating by....

My best advice - if they do come just let them in. That way they are not tearing through your house. Invite them in and let them look around. If they do not have a search warrant then they cannot legally so they have to get your permission although probable cause would be to have seen your plants so they can get a warrant from that. This is tricky but really marijuana is not legal in this country whatsoever so even if it is medicinal they can still do whatever they want because they feel like that is part of their duty. I think growing indoors is the best security precaution in general. Really I think somebody told them you have plants. Sounds like they came and went over your house a few times to make sure they got the right one. They always say "Never tell anyone!!" Easier said than done when excitement is involved.

Aspire420, this is your LAST warning. We have already told you to stop giving legal and medical advice. YOU ARE NOT AN ATTORNEY. 'Just let them in' is the stupidest fucking advice yet. Your home is a private place and you enjoy certain rights to refuse visitors, including the police, without a warrant.
Dammit, knock it off.

Edit: Allrollsin, you've got caregiver paperwork on all 4 of those people, correct? Just go around and double check your plant count, including rooting clones (one root+one leaf=1 plant). Check your dried product on hand, including anything hanging. If you have anything hanging, get it off the stems right away in case anyone decides to split hairs over stem weight and try to put you over a weight limit. Then, double check the limits on plants in each life stage (some states have seperate numbers for vegging and flowering individuals).
Don't let them IN, but remember to be very polite and have all the paperwork that they need to see on hand, right by the front door.
I'm sure that as jarring as this is, you'll be fine- I don't get the sense that you're one to create scenes over such things, lol!

My friend who is permanently disabled had the sheriff come to his house before. My friend was growing for a friend of his like you are and the sheriff said that he didn't have the proper paperwork to be a caregiver. They didn't ask to go in his house but they saw through his window a bottle of gunpowder used to reload shotgun shells and questioned him about it. Luckily they left and never came back, but I won't chance having more than my limit. Unless your friends live there, or your a registered nurse with a full time live in patient, In which case you have to take your patient to the doctor and get the paperwork to be a care provider for them the first time they get a recommendation. Just make sure your doing nothin illegal and you shouldn't have a problem. Also buy a cheap greenhouse, they sell for a few hundred at target.com, cheap insurance for prying eyes.

P.S. Don't forget to off the cops a donut :thumbsup:
