Raids lead to thousands of pot plants seized in Monterey County
Monterey County Sheriff's deputies served several search warrants last week for illegal marijuana grows. one in Prunedale and two in south Monterey County

At 71 it wouldn't be early retirement for this guy though.Happens all the time in the area. The risk is so low now vs the reward. 500 plants gets 6 months in jail, or maybe makes enough money to retire if you call pull it off right.
Frankly a successful grow might be his only chance at retirement.At 71 it wouldn't be early retirement for this guy though.
but very rare its a felony charge.unlike the old days.4 yrs ago 20 plants get you 5 yrs.now nobody cares about 20 plants around here.In all the states with legal rec, the busts for being over plant limits go up.
Retire on 500 plants? I don't think that would be enough, especially as everything is getting more expensive as the years roll by.Happens all the time in the area.

Yeah, it's not really enough, but assuming that you are 71 and barely hanging on with just social security, the extra $150k in your pocket might be the difference between making it past 75 or not.Retire on 500 plants?
