Sheriff Finds Big-Ass Willow Creek Indoor Grow House
There's nothing too special about yesterday's press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office. Another day, another marijuana grow house busted.
This one is only slightly different from the norm in that it's a rental unit that was converted entirely into a giant garden. Every room, the HVAC system, the electrical system, the whole place was remodeled to accommodate a massive pot grow.
Yeah yeah, who cares, right? Well, first off, we care, because this is just one more example of local law enforcement using their resources to go after marijuana farmers instead of real criminals. Sure, it's not very cool to ruin someone's rental property just to grow your pot. The way the press release reads, it seems like these growers could afford to just buy their own house and convert it into a massive garden. But then, no arrests have been made yet, so who's to say these guys don't have another 5 houses full of pot plants in the area?
Which leads to another topic: Maybe it is worthwhile to have the Sheriff going after "big-time" pot growers, guys who have multiple houses and are making so much damn money off black market pot deals that is really is conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. We're fine with small timers growing their 215 medicine, but it does get out of hand when you have people running gigantic million dollar pot operations out of rental homes.
Opinions? Can we get some comments from real growers on this topic?

Big timers ruin it for everyone
By anon 215, on May 21, 2008 - 9:44I don't care what they think, modifying a whole house to grow pot in and make hundreds of thousands of tax free dolars only hurts everyone else, and it is definitely conspiracy and those people should be pursued by the local police and sheriffs. They are criminals and they are growing for their own greed, and they cause rental prices to increase and make it harder for honest families to find homes to rent. also they take away so much from our community and our country by not paying taxes on their black market money.
go sheriffs go! bust those criminals! they are equally as harmful to our community as meth dealers!
don't ruin it for everyone

By a grower, on Oct 10, 2009 - 22:10I don't even smoke, but i've been looking into commercial grow ops. Here's
what I can say. If I were to start a grow, I'd have to be honest and say it
would be primarily for money. Now if it were just for street sale or just
recreational use I couldn't do it, but if it's for medical use I'd have no
problem with it. People feeling better and being relieved of the symptoms of
their illnesses would just be a great bonus. If I were in the business, which
is what I think it should be seen as, I'd pay my taxes, but I'd also reinvest
in my business to create and test blends for treating specific illnesses. Now
while I'd be motivated by money, I see no reason why I couldn't make things a
little better for others too! But Thats just me. If there are more comments,
don't let this devolve into senseless bickering. While this isn't a forum, at least you can let your opinion be known, without being insulting or antagonistic, and explain your opinion so others can try and understand your point of veiw.
wow.
