How did you get busted?

Hey everyone, hope all is well. I was just wondering about first hand experiences from people here that have been busted for growing/selling. I think it would be good for you to explain what happened in your situation so others could learn from (not to say anything negative towards anyone) but learn from your mistakes. I see people posting on here that they have been busted, or know of busts... just think it would be a good educational piece for others and help them be more safe. Thanks. (i.e loose lips? Electric company? inferred? problems in the past w/authorities...etc)

I only grow for personal use- I have some medical issues, and Im not in the habit of carrying it around with me anywhere. Never been busted, and I hope I never get busted because apart from my self medication Im a model citizen.

I dunno? Would you like to answer for them? Maybe not let them decide if they want to share their stories or not? Or just call me derogatory names for no reason again? Wow lots of choices to be made here. GL with that. There are plenty of places that people go to hear about other peoples mistakes to help them steer clear of doing it themselves. It's not an asshole thing to say, and if people stepped up and talked about what happened to them, and knew that it was saving many from doing the same thing, I think they would feel like they did something positive...becuz they did.

My partner's girlfriend ratted us out when he kicked her out of his house for being a liar and a thief. Sad thing was...SHE's the one who gave us a contact to get all our clones and various odds and ends. The day it happened it was shitty...he saw a guy that looked oddly strange walking around..and immediatly we started to tear down the whole operation. In a matter of hours the whole thing was down and ready to be shipped out that night...but as luck would have it we didn't get that far. Right when i was cooking dinner it happened...nicely enough because we showed them where everything was right away and had no weapons, we didn't even get handcuffed for atleast 20 minutes...they just took down our names read our rights and took us to jail...and in about 3 hours we were out on bail and awaited trial for almost 2 years. Anyways i guess to make a long story short...GROW AND DON'T TELL ANYONE AND DON'T HAVE A PARTNER!!!!!!

Wow plasma! Look, I've been busted for a couple things in my life, and I have no problem sharing to keep other people outta trouble. Sounds lilke you might just be a little pissed that you weren't smart enough to keep yo'self clear of the law. Anyway, I would say the best thing to keep clean is DON'T TELL ANYONE EVER!!! Loose lips sink ships, and in no other "business" is that more true. People get really wierd when faced with police, and the cops know how to scare somebody bad with what would turn out to be just a fine or a few days in the can.

You are an asshole. Do you really think people want to talk about that?
He's not an asshole. I'm sure that most of the people who have been caught would have liked to read a thread like this if it were to prevent them from being busted. He's just trying to help other people learn how to not get wrapped up.

There's always the number one rule of DONT TELL ANYONE. The number two rule of DONT TELL ANYONE, but other than that there's plenty of ways you can get caught.

- Odor
- Light leaks
- Traffic (if you're dealing out of your grow house)
- Word of mouth
- Stealing electricity
- Putting trimmings/plant parts in your garbage.

There are many more ways you can be caught, but its very important to use common sense with things like this. Oh, and DONT TRUST ANYONE!!!

Thanks HGBoy, I had a friend have the same thing happen to him. Bitch ex-gf ratted him out. Never trust a gf, no matter how much "love" their is between the two of you. For one, they will always use it against you for leverage in a relationship if shit is not going their way. Keep it stealth and if you NEED a partner, make sure it is a friend you can trust with your LIFE, cuz it is indeed your life you are trusting them with.

So true. Women can be very vindictive. They don't have the muscle to beat the crap out of you so they find other ways to fuck you up. Like calling the cops on you.

With the feminism BS nowadays everybody acts like men are the one's that have to get their act together while women are perfect little angles. Baloney! Women have a great capacity for evil, just like men.

Look at the movie Traffic, based on a true story. Half the time the poor guy was getting busted it was either his mom or his wife fucking him over. I make a point of avoiding women that show any destructive nature because, speaking from experience, when you leave they will do what they can to wreck your life.
