if one follows the golden rule of dont sell/smell/tell, how else do outlaw growers get caught? would you say it is below a 1% chance of being caught just growing a few plants in a backroom in a house that you own?
i ask because i recently saw data on the annual arrests in my smallish city, and of about 500 marijuana charges (not tickets, actual arrests) there were more busts for Manufacturing then i would think. maybe 30 out of 500 included manufacturing a sched vi (im not sure if this is the same as cultivation in my state or not).
my gut instinct says these were people trying to sell, or people who talked too much, but i was still surprised by those numbers. i guess manufacture could include butane or a rosin press, but i guess what im asking is: with a hidden LED setup in a 4x4 tent, how likely is a grower to run into problems so long as its purely for personal consumption? i know its not a science just looking for anecdotes :)
my current state isnt too bad, 3 months minimum for a under 10 lbs so i imagine it could be plead down to probation as long as there are no guns in house. still though, the amount of manufacturing busts i saw surprised me, some were even in richer areas
also, if one has two secure locations, is it better to use the one thats not the house? it seems more inconvenient but would prevent the house from being potentially raided, right? i think no knock raids are pretty rare in my area, and not used to such low level felonies, but i guess you never know with cops.
are cops interested in small scale home growing in small/med cities or is it more of a bad luck thing, like a fire or you get robbed and your house alarm goes off?
thanks!!!
