Hi all,

I thought i'd make this thread so we can see what the supposed "courts" of our land are dishing out for percy growers like us.

keep any reports pretty recent if you can please folks, lets try and keep it current- to the last yr or so, as growing canna is coming so much more prolific, and as more people get busted, hopefully the "seriousness" ahem. of the crime and the punishment decreases.

I`ll open this happy thread from our local paper this week.

a Guy gets stopped for a traffic offence (alledged dodgy exhaust..)and is found with some SEEDS and a GRINDER. thus he gets nicked and his house searched. they find 4 plants and some percy cocaine.
so:
4 plants+ prcy cocaine-sentence at court= £85.fine (+costs+victim charge)

not bad... not bad at all..


e2a.... carefull out there guys, the seeds and grinder alone was enuff for them to search his house!! neither of them are ilegal items..

£85 not bad at all and without the coke a lot better i'd imagine. He'll obviously have a record now tho....not brilliant. Without the coke do you think it would just have been a caution? I'm asking 'cos i have four 'babies' at home...but no coke.

no one should use coke or any white powder in my book,just stick to good old happy backy

Well some of you will remember i was busted about 4-5 weeks back and caught with 11 plants..a week later i was sentenced at court and got a £100 fine £85 costs £15 victim surcharge to be paid a £5 a week.
I call that a result.

i got caught with 6 plants, and a supply charge, im not a dealer it was sent to a friend... i got 6 months drug rehab and probation for 12 months no fine or costs and it went to crown court!!!

I got caught with 4, was vocal about rights of entry and lied about having anything twice, they found both grow spaces. They let me off with the cultivation and just slapped a fine for possesion on me and didn't take equipment either.. I didn't even leave my living room.

Results seem to vary pretty wildly

18 months for 250 plants.
people here do not realise cultivation can carry a life sentence and an unlimited fine.(Scotland.)

not for 10 plants though...
to attract a maximum sentence you would have to be at the high end of the scale and a repeat offender.10 plants or 1000 plants will not get you life for a first offence.stop trying to frighten us stoners

big syko 75
21-04-10, 10:31 AM
Ha lmfao 250 plants 18 months.I personally wouldn't have 250 plants on the go thats just pure greed and you wouldn't get life over here in England i think the maximum is 14 years n like wert said you'd have to be at the high end of the scale and be a repeat offender to get that.
When i got sentenced the 3 fellas on the bench didn't give a fuck i was caught with 11 plants,hence the £100 fine £85 costs £15 victim surcharge.

Ain't trying to frighten anyone Wert-it's like murder-it carries a life sentence but it don't mean you will get life.
big syko 75-you should know English law and Scottish law are not the same even though it's the same country.
English law stands as such.
Possessing cannabis
Cannabis is now classified as a Class B drug. If you are caught carrying some, police will confiscate it and you may be arrested, even if it’s your first time. What the police will do depends on the circumstances and how old you are.

Over 18s
If you are over 18 and caught in possession of cannabis, the police are likely to:

•give you a cannabis warning for a first offence of possession
•give you a Penalty Notice for Disorder (an on-the-spot fine of £80) for a second offence
•arrest you if it is the third time you have been caught with cannabis; this could lead to a conviction and a criminal record.
Aged between 10 and 17
If you're between 10 and 17 and caught in possession of cannabis, the police will confiscate the drug and may arrest you. They may also refer you to a Youth Offending Team (YOT) and are likely to:

•give you a reprimand and tell your parents what has happened if it is the first time you’ve been caught
•give you a final warning and refer you to a YOT if it's your second offence
•arrest you if it is the third time you have been caught with cannabis, which could lead to a conviction and a criminal record.

Intent to supply and dealing
If you are found to be supplying or dealing drugs, the punishment is likely to be tough. Supplying drugs doesn’t just apply to dealers. If police suspect that you intend to share drugs with your friends, this is still considered to be supplying.

Being suspected of supplying drugs means you are much more likely to be charged. The amount of drugs found on you, and whether you have a criminal record, will be taken into account when a punishment is being decided.

The maximum sentences for intent to supply drugs are:

•up to life in prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a Class A drug
•up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a Class B or Class C drug

After a certain amount it is always regarded as intent to supply.
as for greed-NO
I was playing around with eleven strains-Trying to obtain my own seeds (Fem) from which i did intend to make money.
Most of the plants were clones-and were at different stages.
I do not and did not sell weed, but i would sell seed.
Yes i did get caught-but i never moaned about it-After all i broke the law.
My user name is BAD2-Which stands for Bipolar Affective Disorder 2-which is the illness i suffer from-I could have used this an excuse in court.but i never because i knew exactly what i doing.
I only replied to a thread about sentences-but it appears that if you get more than a slap on the wrist or an £85.00 fine then you are greedy ?
Thanks for your time guys.
Be happy-Be stoned.
PS.i don't smoke weed.my illness does not allow it-not even booze

wert
23-04-10, 11:02 AM
Ain't trying to frighten anyone Wert-it's like murder-it carries a life sentence but it don't mean you will get life.
a conviction for murder is mandatory life,no other sentence possible.
nothing wrong with producing seeds:cool:
as for not fighting your case with as much mitigation as possible..............why?
they will do everything to get a conviction ,my advice to anyone caught is to do everything in your power not to be.

Rizla
26-04-10, 10:34 PM
yes like wert said. if you do get busted why make it easy?

personaly i'd use all the medical evidence i had at my disposal to aid the case.

is growing weed for percy - or selling seeds for small grow rooms hurting anyone? whats the crime here? sure its "ilegal" but so is EATING MINCE PIES ON CHRISTMAS DAY!! would you go quietly and take your sentence on that one? or use hunger as your defence?

its wrong to punish us smokers while drink is legal. its hypocritical. and all the while we "go quietly" the longer we'll be discriminated against.

A friend of mine had over 200 plants on the go in his unit, he managed to get a smack head to take the wrap if he paid him £15,000 the unit was let in his name but he said he sub letted it to the gear head and didnt have a clue. the gear head admitted all and believe it or not it was his first offence to do with drugs so all he got a 12 month sentence. He will probably be out in 6-8 months. Them smack heads love it in prison where they can get shit loads of that shite anyway and when he gets out hes got 15G waiting for him to get off his tits on!

Omg bubbs did ur breif not like u ? I got caught with 5 then acouple of month later 10 andont think I paid more than £150 in fines and got 1 caution .

Yoko , that's the way to do it , use ur local friendly baghead lol.

Cannalover
27-04-10, 08:50 PM
£15,000 for 6 months in jail thats £2500 a month right.I'm no smackhead but if anyone wants to pay me to take the rap for 200 plants and wants to pay me £15,000 please pm me okay.
PS i mean it..

yoko2009
27-04-10, 09:25 PM
cannalover ill keep you in mind hehe £2500 a month sounds a lot but this guy has plenty of dough so it worked out a good deal for all, to be fair he thought he would have got longer at least 2 years so the smack head got a lucky bonus, maybe he should have agreed a price on time served but the kid wanted paying up front. if it was him who got caught he would have got much longer!

Mr_Bimble
27-04-10, 09:31 PM
£15K - It would have been cheaper to import an asian gardener - if he got caught he'd probably get a flat & dole cheque.

yoko2009
27-04-10, 10:25 PM
hehe your probably right Bimble. is it just me but i dont think 15k for a year is that much, i wouldnt do a job that only paid 15k a year, i suppose thats how id look at it. i know 15k for a gear head is good money plus they get B&B for free in smack central but surely the majority of us normal folk wouldnt take the blame for 15k even if you know your only getting 12 month and could be out in 6???? Having a think i reckon it would take 50grand for me to take a 12 month wrap and even then it would depend on where i am in life at the time!

27-04-10, 10:38 PM
Ha ha ha just checked out this thread at the right time! Brilliant idea! I know so many people who would quite happily take half that money for more than double that time!! Isn't it great profiting of those less fortunate than yourself lol, well i aint gonna have a fully developed conscience for a good couple of years so may as well! Most of the bagheads i know have been in longer than they'v been out so is a free bit of cash for them, the trip to the big house with the bad people is inevitable =)

28-04-10, 09:17 AM
Yoko , £ 15 bags ain't enough m8 , £50k sounds ok but like u say it depends wr u are in life.
If ur like me U could spend £50k easily in no time lol, it sounds alot but...
Plus I got caught with 1 1/2 oz of flake about 6 years ago in Salford and now I'm struggling to take my family to America . Not a good feeling m8.

28-04-10, 09:18 AM
Ps refugees are the way forward lmao.
They're cheaper than bagheads.

28-04-10, 12:05 PM
Refugees the way forward hehe ill bear that in mind and if i get nicked and get down to the eurotunnel fence to bag me one! My good pal is the same mate, he served some decent time due to chisel i think he did about 4 years and he wasnt allowed to the states for sometime though he went this year with his girlfriends family so it musnt be permanent thing.

Hi guys,

I recently got busted with 2 plants in a growtent with all the lights etc. They also found about 2oz drying in a cupboard.

I'm up on charges of production and possession.

Anyone have any idea what I can expect at court? It's a first offence at Edinburgh sheriff court.

cannamancan
13-07-10, 09:00 PM
Not sure bout Scotland m8 but Its obviously personal use so u shouldn't get more than a cation and a little fine maximum.
Go to introduce urself m8 and then start a thread I'm sure some fellow jocks will give better advice .
Peace.

Eggbox
13-07-10, 09:35 PM
2 plants and 2 ounce shouldn't get you more than a fine, maybe CS mate. Edinburgh sheriff has some pretty sound prosecutors, who see far too many grow ops go through their courts, they really do just look for the commercial ones :)

blurry-vision
13-07-10, 09:52 PM
Got caught with 3 plants and some GBL, no previous so I only got a caution, but they did take my tent and lights and nutes, and the GBL, guess that was a fine of sorts as I now have to replace them which will cost me about 250 notes.

IMO they are been more lenient these days as so many are growing now.

Key is co-operate with them too, don't be a cunt about it.

What do you mean he has done his time for it? Are u on about the attemp murder? attemp murder is really hard to prove tbh, if the person is up in court for attemp murder and the plants, the plants are last of his worries, just tic them. If u mean he has done time for attemp murder and has now been caught with plants, like wert said it still first time so shouldnt be too bad. leafy

Hey guys, i am about to start a little grow room with 1 600w son-agro light (and as many plants as i can get in it) - can i put a spin on this thread and ask the people who got caught "HOW DID YOU GET CAUGHT?" -

i have heard that thermal imaging can be a problem - has anyone been caught by this?

Thanks guys

There was somethin in paper just a few dayz ago where someone woman got her house busted over the 2 heatlmps she has for her guinea pig hut's in the garage and a few more story's about people from my home town bein busted thru the copper chopper's, best way to get off with heat lamps is LED's or CFL#s which are both really like using an energy saving bulb to grow decent plant's!

mitch_connor
22-01-11, 10:56 PM
Yeh the guinea pig story ^ was ridiculous.. that's gotta show that they use no other evidence than a suspicious heat signiture in certain cases...

I always thought they would have to use.. heat sig + tip off or other evidence before raiding people.

Back to the very first post in this thread.. So you get pulled for an exhaust blowing or what not... wouldn't you normally just be given a ticket requiring you to have the work fixed? aswell as a producer? how did that lead to them finding the grinder and seeds? Unless they were spotted out in the open??

Sorry to say it but anyone who thinks percy growers are safe is deluded.
I would guess that everytime the OB go on a raid what they want to find is the massive farm, but a nick is a nick

The large majority of busts are as a result of informants.

The rules to stay safe:
Don't smell.
Don't tell.
Don't sell.

It's disgusting and a complete waste of taxpayers money.

I'm sure if you asked the taxpayers what they considered more important.... people who grow their own weed, or, sex offenders violent crims heroin n crack dealers etc...

I'm fairly sure the vote would be unanimous.

I was looking for a house to rent once, and the estate agent gave us an appointment on a sat. We turned up about 20 mins early and found the landlord there with 2 skips and a few other people.

They were carting out 100's of plant pots and miles of silver ducting etc. It turns out the house had been raided 2 days before, this house had 7 bedrooms and an annexe flat. EVERY room in the house was set up for growing apparently except the annexe flat.

I really wanted that house but thought better of it when I saw that. It would be kinda stupid moving into a house with that kinda history, you'd be worried about smoking a joint ffs.
Not sure how they found the grow, heli's would probably not be able to fly over because the house was right on the approach to a large international airport !

My best friend from school, omg thats 25 years ago, is a career policeman, he's a chief inspector now (won't say where) and smokes more weed than anyone. anyway we were talking and he told me they are not bothered about Percy grower but if they get a tip off they won't ignore it and will act on it if you have 4 plants or 400, so yes percy is not important to the police, mega raids, men and resources for one old guy with 3 beautiful green northern lights in his celler to get slapped wrist and 20 hrs cs; but they will actively go after you if they know you are growing.
He also told me the costs of using a helicopter are rediculous and with more cuts coming under the tories the forces the use of helicopters is being limited to serious crimes and traffic?? If they get a tip of yes they will check it out but as a previous poster says best way to have a successful grow is to just tell no one if you need to share your experience just post on here or one of the other hundreds of cannabis forums.
The police are shit they rely on tips and information to solve anything so if no one knows about your grow no one can sell you out to the old bill.

Feel free to send abuse (I don't care as I get it all the time!!;) ) but I have a friend who is in the met who knows I grow and I can backup what had been said on here already that they are not activily looking for Percy growers. According to him it's way too much paperwork. However he did say that if you get arrested for something else not related and they see evedence of growing or somebody reports a funny 'smell' etc.. then they can't be seen to be ignoring it.
What I say is the honest truth. I even have a picture of him standing next to a blue cheese plant I grew last year on my patio. He used to be a stoner but is gutted that he can't even be around people smoking now as he does regulary get random drug tests.

Hey guys , just would like to share my story with you lot if ya dont mind lol . So i had partitioned my room off so that i could grown seven decently sized plants, 2 weeks into flowering and things are goin well with my makeshift grow, anyway i wake up start to play the xbox and get high with a friend, suddenly i get this little urge to peek thru the blinds and take a quick look at the carpark..... and to my utter suprise there it was the dirrty discusting riot van they i had never wished to see. Anyway i started to look back and forth as if to say to my friend do summert ya cunt! the helpful bastard stashed his bud and scales in my fuckin bed, wich really unerves me to this day. So i shout down the stairs to my mum the police are comin to nock on mum!!! after tryin to play smart arse for like 2 mins she let then in the silly twat! and they come straight up stairs into my bedroom and asked where is the grow ??? as to wich i replyed what grow??? good eh. So then there was abit of awkward ness and i basically had to look at it for them too see it the dum cunts, because when they opened my door it just looked like a small bedroom because i had all posters covering the plaster board that was to split my room. At this point i was feeling really nervous for some reason and just wishing to god they wouldnt take the nutes, they took everthing including nutes and left me with just a plaster board and a few leafs.... the ride to the station was really fun wiffing my plants as they sat right infront of me waitin to be destroyed or whatever. When they took me inside i was given a lawyer and he told me to basically say it was all persy wich i did, and they took my finger prints n stuff and gladly sent me on my way, so now im back at home GOING ABSOLUTLEY NUTTS!!!! WORSE PART OF IT ALL IS THAT I HAD TO BUY SOME OFF STREET TO CALM ME DOWN.... WICH IS WHAT I WAS TRYIN TO AVOID IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! lesson for the kiddies dont tell nobody simple as that my friends.

PEACE OUT

South Yorkshire Police officers have have dismantled two cannabis factories in Doncaster.

Officers also executed a warrant at an address on Riley Avenue, Balby, where a small cannabis set-up was found with six plants recovered with a value of £6,000.

A 32-year-old man was arrested for cultivation of cannabis and received a caution.

Just for anyone with the same police force and wondering what 6 plants will probably get you

I thought the same exact thing.. then I got out a calculator to show how crazy it was.. but I got a bit of a shock


Let's say street value of [avg] £200p/oz.. (which I couldn't get so cheap)

So, £6000 divided by £200 = 30 ounces.

30 ounces divided by 6 plants is only 5 oz a plant.. selling at £200p/pz is £6000

So maybe not so far off this time after all?

I see reports in our weekly local paper all the time so I'll have to start posting them up. It's strict up here though as they want to rid the island of all drugs and make examples out of anyone caught growing. I've seen reports of percys getting £200 fine, some CS, and compulsory drug rehab for a single plant or two, though it could be a second/third offence I suppose.

Our local paper prints the persons name and full home address so I should really be keeping a note of them all just incase I ever need to find a dealer lol.

Mr_Bimble
18-08-11, 09:25 PM
Round here the value they put on plants can be anything from £1000 - £5000 each.... And they do not like hydro setups. I think the last few I saw reported as "Professional hydro' system" so I'm sticking to soil and as few plants as possible to keep me going between crops (well no more than 5 at a time).

23-08-11, 02:42 PM
6K's worth for 6 plants ? Oh man how I laughed.

why is that funny dude? Off the psychosis i had before the bust 2 weeks ago i would hit between 35 - 45oz off the 6 plants, usually minimum of 40 so add that up in value. if you aint hitting those figures for 6 plants man you aint doing it right lol. 2 x 600w should give no less

Mr_Bimble
24-08-11, 08:37 PM
£6,000 from 6 plants, so lets do the math.......

Street price is £10 per gram so to get £6,000 you would need to get 100g per plant so unless you're growing Auto's which tend to have lower yields then one plant in a 11-15l pot or hydro under a decent light is going to yeild that.

Hello there, just wandering what sentence would be likely handed down in Scotland for a dude I know who recently got caught with sixteen plants, he's a good friend with no previous record, will he get jail time and if so how long? Thanks

Mr_Bimble
21-09-11, 07:24 PM
Depends on what he said when he got caught. He'll be in the shit if he even hinted at selling and, sharing it with anyone or even giving any to his mates/wife etc as they'll go straight for a "dealilng" charge (especially if they found scales, bagies or any text on phone about weed).

16 is a lot of plants to say it was percy so could still fall for a "supply or intent to supply" charge.

If lucky fine, CS or possibly suspended sentance, if unlucky (see thread about cunt of a judge in sheffield) anything up to 4 years bird.

If he's been carefull what he said & has a good brief then most likely a fine & CS.

The best bet is to search the local newspaper archives for people being sentanced for drugs offences and what judge was sitting - that'll give the best sign of what try of Nazi is going to be hearing the case.

Ive got a m8 in edinburgh who got rattled with 21 full flower plants in his house & he only got 100 hrs CS, so maybe we're a bit more lenient up here. But you are dicing with your freedom if your caught with anymore than 8 plants id say, according to the sentencing guidelines on cultivation.

I recently had the police turn up one morning at my gate,They said they had a anonymous call saying i was growing,Could they come in,I said not now my boys will be late for school,they said they could get a warrant in 20 Min's,They pissed of back to there car and i called a mate to take my boys to school,I ran upstairs and pulled my tent down so fast,lucky for me my pants were only 4 days old,Hid them in my garden bush,Well 1 hour later im in the garden and the van pulls up loads of boys jump out and i invite them in,Straight up stairs to my grow ten,NOT THERE,Tell them i ain't got shit and its not illegal to have the equipment,Tell them ive done a few fancy flowers and some vegetables,they say ive been inside,yer 15 year ago for pills and puff,and one offence for cultivation 25 years ago,one plant about 6" tall,just in my bedroom window,So i guess i could have gone to prison again,who knows,They just seam to deal out bad cards once in a while,House is spotlessly clean and tidy and they say this to me too,Walk out apologizing saying they have to follow up these calls,well i can say i put my shit back up,Put my plants back in there and right now im smoking my hell ride bud.But on that note just take a look at Belgium's drug policy.

Cannabis policy in Belgium

In Belgium the use of cannabis is tolerated. For example, a man was caught on the highway between the Netherlands and Belgium with fifteen grams of cannabis. Later, he was also caught in his workplace (he is a cook) with five grams of cannabis and the police were informed. He and his boss were interviewed. There was an inquiry and the man stated that he was consuming cannabis at home for his own pleasure; he was not dealing anything and was happy in his life with no problems. He also said in a later interview that he had quit his habit so the prosecutor ended the lawsuit against him. Therefore, he was never sued and he never came before a court.

There is tolerance if a person says that he/she will quit their habit but otherwise there could be problems. A user who has been caught will be asked by the police to give urine tests and be interviewed a few times. If the habit is continued, the user may go before a court. In another case, a man refused a urine test saying that he was continuing his habit and he is now before the court in Brussels. His defence was to claim a violation of his privacy with arguments based on the European Convention of Human Rights. It is doubtful that he will succeed in Belgium but he might in the court of Strasbourg.

The situation of tolerance in Belgium was put into force by an act of the Ministry of Justice. This Act states that if someone is caught with, for example, fifteen grams of cannabis and claims that he only tried it once, he will not be prosecuted. Many criticisms can be made about this situation. The decision to sue someone is in the hands of a prosecutor and the prosecutor will do so only on really arbitrary motives. For example, if you are in poor social circumstances or are unemployed, you will be sued, but if you have a good job or come from a good family then you will not have any problems. One of the basic principals of the French Revolution was that the law must be applied in the same way to everyone, and we really must stand on that position of legality. Whether you are sued or not before a tribunal should not depend on social characteristics.

its always a persons own fault if they get rumbled, they either cant keep their gobs shut about what their upto, advertise what their doing (stupid setups, leaking setups), smell or dealing from their grow site. Occasionally somebody will be caught by a copper at their door for something else & he/she notices something to arouse suspicion (which reminds me of a post on here where a dude, who didnt have a decent CF was captured because his m8 went to the shop 30 secs from the house, left his fiends door ajar to get back in & a passing plod got a wiff of his grow from the slightly open door, opened said door & walked right into the guys house & nabbed him) or even being grassed by a nasty family member (which happend to another of my friends).
Point being: 1.) make sure your setup is good, 2.) buy a good fan & CF, 3.) dont put stupid signs in your windows (ie plastic coverings) & most of all 4.) KEEP YOUR GROW SECRET, not even your best m8 should find out (best m8s fall out too).
Dont worry about the electricity board or supa doopa infra red police helicopters like fuckin airwolf (if your over 30 youll know what im talking about), unless your growing on an industrial scale, too which you shouldnt be on this forum (we have a 10 plant max rule),
follow the 4 simple rules above & the rest should be easy & very productive.

18 months for 250 plants.
people here do not realise cultivation can carry a life sentence and an unlimited fine.(Scotland.) 250 plants is a tad excessive though I mean for a first offence if they gave anyone a life sentence for a room full of plants I'm certain it would be overturned on appeal and is therefore never done. Judges aren't stupid they know what will and wont stick and unless you're a big time dealer funding scary shit they ain't gonna lock you up and throw away the key.

yep a hydro setup = sophisticated setup = professional setup = commercial set up (in the eyes of the law)

Hi all,

Last Saturday me and 4 mates were harvesting my crop of 12 cheese plants. Knock at the door and in walks the police. Walking past the front door and got a whiff they said. 12 mature plants 14 small cuttings in a incubator taken away. All my cellar equipment gone! I took full responsibility. Got bail to go back early April. Anyone got any idea what I'm looking at?

Mike:confused:

Mr_Bimble
29-02-12, 10:13 PM
Busted during harvesting is a real bummer - get caught with plants and its just cultivation.

But they'll go for production and that carries a POCA which means they can seize assets. The cuttings will be used to prove multiple cropping planned - backing up the production charge.

So your looking at 26 plants, cultivation & production with intent to supply (if the weight of bud exceeds 100g then that pushes you up a band too).

Read the thread with new sentencing guidelines an expect level 2/3 sentence.

but my 71 cut drying cheese plants were drying in a net,
would have a guess that there was about 50-60 ounce there, but was still wet so im guessing the bastards will weigh it wet!

I know the score and i fit into the lower end of catorgry 2.
So yea its pretty serious, but people are getting caught all the time and at the end of the day the crown court sees murders, pedophiles, rapists!!

Hello guys. Love the thread.

I got caught a few days ago with 4 plants, tent, light etc. Only reason I got caught was due to a bigger grow round the corner. They caught whiff when they parked right outside my shed! The police were good as gold. But then so was I. They even left me some to smoke!

Anyway. I got away with a caution. Had no previous dealings with them before of any kind fortunately. How long would you leave it before setting up again and should I get caught again what do you think I would get next time?

I have quite a good job which is obviously a concern. Only problem is I love to smoke and am sick of getting shit weed at over inflated prices. Hence the growing!

On what basis did you let them in to the property??

Lawful arrest requires two elements. 1 A person’s involvement or suspected involvement or attempted involvement in the commission of a criminal offence; AND 2. Reasonable grounds for believing that the person’s arrest is necessary.

Here your arrest would not have been necessary and hence the police would have had no right to search your premises unless they had a warrant.

Suppose it is done now. What happened in April?

Well some of you will remember i was busted about 4-5 weeks back and caught with 11 plants..a week later i was sentenced at court and got a £100 fine £85 costs £15 victim surcharge to be paid a £5 a week.

Interesting thread, I'll ressurect it by asking how many of you that got busted lived in cities and how many lived in the middle of nowhere? I'd not risk growing if I was in a suburb, personally. Where I used to live there were always copper choppers overhead, but now I'm out in the sticks and the only choppers I've seen are air ambulance ones, and even they are really rare. I'll be running a 400w bulb in a grow tent within my garage, venting outside so hopefully I'll not have a huge heat sig.....but I'm not expecting any copper choppers overhead any time soon....... We get some military jets overhead but they are so high up and clearly off on an exercise or to bomb some un-named country, so I doubt they will be on the lookout for "warm" garages, lol

Police DID NOT Take "Grow kit" and told me to Sell it quickly before they changed their minds.


Police said "I have been Good at Gold"


I admitted i consume between 5-10grams per day (3 oz per month)

via smoking and eating.


I admitted i would sell a little to cover costs of Elec, Soil, Seeds.

and would ONLY sell to close friends in large amounts ie> half oz 14 grams £90.


Police "commended" me for NOT STEALING ELECTRICITY !!! and for my Honesty


My Solicitor says the PC who is in charge "is the nicest police officer in the county and he must of liked me" he is going to call him and ask very nicely if the SGT there can give me a break and caution me.

Police are considering a "caution" but have said it will probably goto court.

(They have my phone, there is nothing on there to show i am a "mass drug dealer")

- If anything my phone might show i offered to give some away for free to a friend. (FREE being the key word)


I WAS NOT signing on for benefits.


There was NO MONEY found


I live in a small apartment and have a 12 year old BMW .. the Police agreed "I do NOT live a flashy life style"


I can also prove that over the last 18 months ALL my money has been legit and that my bills have been paid with traced bank money.


Police offered me a deal "Snitch on Class A Dealers and walk free"
- I told them i dont know anyone and keep myself to myself. (the truth)


+ I will goto 5 "rehab" sessions off my own back


+ I have registered with a Doctor for Anxiety and Depression / Insomnia. (which is why i grew the plants)


+ I have registered as unemployed and am seeking work.



What do you think guys?


I know as soon as i planted that first seed this could happen.

ALL I CARE ABOUT is my Girlfriend being alone without me, she says she will stand by me no matter what.


<3 Peace and Love for the Two Dog Plant community.

i dont see why anyone needs to grow 25plants at a time for personal use tbh, even if it was to make hell of alot of oil its still to many

thats why we have 10 plant limit on here..

Sorry to hear that mate, I got a bit carried away with it myself when I first started growing.
I was only nineteen and me and a mate rented a house together to grow our own. Got too greedy and at one point we had around 40 on the go. All at different stages, different strains taking my own cuttings. It’s not like I set out to do a forty plant grow.
Tbh I was shit at growing, only averaging an ounce a plant and rather than learn to get better at it I just did more plants.
I think it’s an attitude some new growers have. We get loads of new people on here with more than ten plants.
I mean it’s not like you’re ever gonna have too much weed, is that even a thing? Too much weed?
But you have to be disciplined about it because there is a minute chance that you’ll end up in a situation like the one your in now.
I was a bit luckier, rather than get busted three big bastards kicked my door in when I was home alone and took everything.
Although I wasn’t a dealer I dread to think what would have happened if it’d been the police instead with that many plants in the house.

Interesting thread. Where I live, cultivation on any scale is extremely dangerous. You'd think I live in a Muslim country but in actuality nearly half the nation has legalized it in some form or another. I'm sure you catch my drift. The police here are highly militarized and have a very sick and twisted perception of law enforcement. My goal is to always stay off their radar. I live in a more affluent area so automatically I make myself less of a target (I'm not being pretentious it's just an unfortunate fact). My home is kept extremely tidy and I'm great friends with both of my neighbors. I even deliver them small gifts on Christmas and I attend neighborhood cookouts & functions. I am constantly improving my house, especially the exterior. Landscaping, pressure washing, etc. I keep my vehicles spotless in the driveway. I never cause loud disruptions or disturb my neighbors in any way. I make a constant effort to quite literally be the perfect neighbor. Purely because neighbors are fucking dangerous people and they can RUIN YOUR SHIT. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

If anyone walked inside my house, I could give them a complete tour and they wouldn't even know I smoke weed. I don't leave glass or roaches laying around. I have air fresheners in every room, the house always smells clean. I don't have any stoner artwork or rugs, hippy posters, etc. I keep my decorations classy, shit you see in magazines and on Pinterest. My groom is a spare bedroom that is always locked. I recently had a lot of close friends stay at my place and there was zero suspicion. All the way down to the groom, if you even entered it, I designed it to appear as harmless as possible so even if a cop saw it he'd be like "Shit, this guy is really harmless and this is obviously a personal grow". In my case, even that wouldn't do me much good and they would surely fuck me in the ass as hard as they could so I've memorized my attorney's phone # just in case the worst happens. IF the worst happens, I plan on keeping my mouth shut and saying absolutely nothing other than the word "Lawyer".

All my best friends I've known for ages and I trust them completely. However, if and when this becomes legal is the only time I will ever tell them about what I've been up to.

when i got done about 20 years ago, it wernt plants they had me with but a few blocks of hash the bastards fined me £450.00 + £70 costs ....all i had was 478 gram of hash sputnik it was looking back what a fine bit of hash the rozzers stole from me,i reckon the coppers stealing my dope is more of a criminal offense ... than me actually possessing it or growing it the dirty fukas. :gulp:

I got the knock last year with 16 at various stages of growth. Had about 3oz of bud in jars. Smashed up my growing equipment and I got a caution. No fine etc. Didn’t go to court. That’s in Staffordshire

sometimes it is better for it to go to crown, yer average Crown Court judge is a LOT more reasonable than magistrates but a CC appearance is scarier.

it will almost certainly go to Crown 25 plants and you admitted dealing you 'might' get a fine and Community service but you could easily get a custodial sentence, did you not get a solicitor? or did you just have a chat with the 'nice' police officer before the interview 25 plants is too many for a percy grow and admitting supply is just stupid. to be frank if you go down it is your own fault.

yep you could, it's not the THC content that is relevant, it is the cultivation of cannabis plants. Even industrial hemp will would count as it is still cannabis.

While this comment is a lot late you could have bigger problems with the pepper spray it is a section 5 prohibited article that is section 5 of the firearms act 1968 as amended you can get 14 years for pepper spray you probably Didn't but it could happen.

Man, I'm glad they changed the laws in CA. Even before it was made legal, back into the 1970's it was a non-arrest traffic type ticket, max fine was like $100 for under 28 grams., no criminal record.
