I remember haqving a chopperdoing circles around my house when i had a few small plants in the back yard, that was a pain in my ass, i held a beach umbrella over them until the helicopter left, i'm sure i looked suspicious as fuck, but it's better than a felony. i think they were more worried about all the methamphetamines going through the house from my family, rather than my weed though, either way the plants turned up missing a few days later.
