Although I hate to hear about anybody being arrested for growing... that's just poor planning right there :wtf:

If you decide to run from police, which I don't recommend, you better be prepared to sleep in the woods or behind a dumpster for the night. Going back to your grow for safety? WTF?

I completely agree about "wearing the invisibility cloak." I will also add that this doesn't mean you need to stay in your house 24/7. Just act normal!!! What I like to do when I'm feeling paranoid is to try and imagine EXACTLY what the people in my neighborhood are doing right now. You know... the family down the street... the single dude I see taking his trash out... the old folks in the apartments... etc. What I tend to find... no matter how creative my imagination may be... is that I have NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE DOING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS! Haha.

And yes... you NEED odor protection and you need to constantly re-check your scrubbers efficiency to make sure you aren't getting used to the trace odors.

Unfortunately, I feel that many of these "busted" stories... place fear and paranoia in the minds of responsible med patients trying to grow. It should be reiterated that if you use precaution... remain a contributing member of society... respect your town/city/state... and basically just stay being a :hippy: you shouldn't have these encounters with the police. I'm assuming the average med patient over 21 is not going out stealing street signs or shoplifting (not saying that the OP did this)... and then running from law enforcement :jointsmile: I think it is extremely important to stress our responsibility to act as ambassadors for Cannabis. Even with a doctor recommendation, many grows operate on the fringes of legality. While WE all know that these are good people looking for symptom relief... many see it as simply breaking the law. So please, out of respect for the herb... and our fellow community members... be responsible. If you wish to go out and engage in activities that will attract police attention while you are growing Cannabis and you DO get busted... please inform the police that you are not growing for medical purposes. It really damages the public image of people who grow out of necessity.
But yeah.... YOU NEED ODOR PROTECTION!!!!!!!!!
