Sheriff Finds Big-Ass Willow Creek Indoor Grow House

May 21, 2008 - 6:57

just another pot grow in humboldt county

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

I grow a small amount of medicinal weed at my home (at or under SB420 limits) and I work a regular day job, pay my taxes, and smoke my medicine in the privacy of my own home. 215 is not about making money, it's about having the right to smoke marijuana medicinally. The "big time" growers who blow up whole houses, drive gigantic shiny pickup trucks, and pay top dollar to rent out lots of houses are ruining this community for those of us who aren't ruled by greed and corruption.

I 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!

I second the outcry, especially when millions are being made at the expense of the environment and few of those funds are ever channeled back to the community (hospitals, schools, roads, fire departments). We have a housing crisis around here, with a shortage of shelter and property priced way out of most folks' range. Houses are for people, not plants! Close the factories.

don't ruin it for everyone

leave it to a bunch of big time jerks to ruin 215 for everyone. well actually, 215 and sb420 are great. seriously who needs to grow more than 6 plants at a time? if you really truly need more than that you can get your medicine at a clinic or get specific doctor recommendations to grow more than the sb420 minimums. but yea all the 20-somethings driving shiny new pickups and wearing baseball caps and wraparound sunglasses, they all need to get the hell out of our county because they are onyl here to take advantage of our lack of law enforecment and to rent out 4 different houses to grow 30 lights of weed in. makes me sick. i have a serious condition and marijuana helps. you criminal growers are going to ruin compassionate use for those who truly need it.

GO AWAY CRIMINAL GROWERS!! WE ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WE'RE REPORTING YOU TO THE POLICE AND THE FEDS!

we all started out small but some evolve

I grow all outdoor, but normally thousands of plants. I sell them to cannabis clubs to feed my three children and support my new 20 yr old girlfriend. I just bought a 2009 chevy silverado 2500 and i lifted it up 12 inches with suspension. We here in SHC like 4 wheel drive big trucks because of the rough terrain we cover daily. I bust my ass all summer long to provide medicine to arcata dispensarys, so before you wish for me to be imprisioned remember the same people after me will soon clamp down on those with one plant. this is about states rights. overgrow the government.. oh yeah even if you send me to prison when I get out of prison in 3 yrs I will go and digg up my 1000 55 gallon barrel drums filled with 100's deep in the majestic Humboldt hills, if only you had my gps you could discover more cash in one day than you have made your entire pathetic small time life!

sincerly yours
