I have an ethical dilemma and would love some input.
I have a pretty large (~25 acres) patch of land that my house sits on. I was taking a walk with the wife the other day along a well marked path on the outskirts of my property. We've been walking this path together for the last 10 years.
We hit an area that is very open due to the fact that I cleared it a couple of years back so my friends and I could camp there in the spring/summer. I was amazed to see that someone clearly new to the game had planted 10 clones, all very close together in a very organized patch. Mind you, I've never done a guerrilla grow before but common sense would dictate that you don't want to plant in such an obvious and open location. I also couldn't imagine you'd want to make it look so organized. If a chopper flew over, which quite a few do, they would know what this garden was from about 5,000ft. up. It's that obvious looking and open.
I feel like some kid who just got done watching a Cervantes DVD decided to start guerrilla growing but skipped all the information regarding making it stealth.
If this weren't very clearly my property, I would be on my way. Since this is my property and puts me in such obvious risk I should just take the plants and leave a note, per my wife's suggestion.
Maybe I should leave note detailing why this is such a bad location (i.e. private land and very, very open) and give them a few days to clear out.
Would it be bad karma to just take the plants and leave a note saying "sorry, try again on some public land" or should I let the grower know how much this puts me at risk and they need to clear out immediately?
I had to laugh when I saw it since I've read so many posts on this site about guerrilla growers plants getting taken and how upset they were. I never thought I'd be the one taking the plants.
