It's their house, so no. I highly doubt it. Plus, if you were going hard with this shit, they can and will take your house.

Theoretically, yes...If its reasonable to the cop responding that your parents weren't involved. If its in a closet in your room, you have plausible deniability. If you are growing it in the kitchen, then they are involved.

Besides, unless you're in a state like Utah, they don't arrest and put you all in a van. Usually they cite (like a ticket).

It would also depend on how much you're growing, a few plants here might just get you a fine, but say in an ass backwards state where the laws are more stringent you could end up doing time and possibly your parents house taken under the proceeds of crime. Shit creek so to speak. However, the law would need probably cause and a warrant to come into your residence. If you see them pulling up or they're knocking on the door, don't let them enter. Be nice, cordial and state that you know your rights, don't answer any of thier questions, otherwise you're screwed. If they want to come in stating that they suspect a crime is taking place, or that there've been reports of a smell or some strange lights, tell them to get a warrant. Then when they leave, simply destroy your plants.

Being raided will be based on extensive surveillence and evidence, as in you're selling out of your home or you're stealing electricity I wouldn't worry about a a few plants.

Well first of all you shouldn't say anything like that here.

There are ways to go over things to grow indoors and sell out of your home will be fine jermiah use to slang infront of his mother all the time
and he has been doing it for decades so you can grow too and if your getting raided you must be doing some other crimes instead of manufacturing
and selling bud.

No, especially if you are underage. It's your parent's house and you are your parent's child. They could charge your parents with a number of things, possibly even including neglect. Your parents are responsible for you until you are 18 and a legal adult and even then, if you are still in their house they are still responsible. Do your parents both a favor and wait until you have your own place to grow in and can take on the responsibility for your own actions.

To all those saying it's up to the cop, you are wrong. It is ultimately up to the judge.

the only way they wont take your parents is this. you say its your grow and your parents didnt know. then your parents also have to say they had no idea you were doing it. then they will handcuff you and put you in a car. then they will destroy your crop in front of you after taking pictures or they will bag it up for evidence. then your parents have to sign a sworn statement saying they had no clue about what was happening in the house. and depending on what state you live in that will keep your parents out of jail

I read some cases about this a few years ago. here's what the guidelines was. In this, a Right to Privacy came into play. If you pay rent on that room, show reciepts, and the room has a lock on it, then Your right to privacy has been legally enacted, and no other person can be held accountable for what you do in the privacy of your own, individual room. A Search Warrant for the house does not cover that one particular bedroom. It is it's own enity, and a seperate search warrant will have to be issued to enter--Legally.
The question that I have is how did the Law come up with enough Probable Cause to get a warrant to enter the house in the first place. Hope this helped.

I think once you see what the consequences are you'll probably drop a dime on your folks. After all someone has to take care of the plants while they're gone.

Please do not tell people it is OK to grow and slang outside of there parents home and that if they get raided they must be doing something else. This attitude is what keeps society ignorant about LEGAL medical marijuana growers and care providers.

There is NO place in North America where you will not (eventually) get busted for selling in front of your house, newbie growers tend to read this kind of information and underestimate the damage a manufacture, deliver, grow or cultivate marijuana charge will have on their life.

Gotta admit, It's the truth. Do a Guerrilla Grow, have fun, travel, adventure. Get good excerise. Leave your Parents out of your Hobbies.

I'd say your parents will be in a world of shit even if they don't get charged with the actual grow. Unless you have a lease and they have copies of rent reciepts, you have no expectation of privacy in their home. They are the ones responsible for what goes on in their house, and COULD lose it even tho they were ignorant of the fact that you were growing. (That boggles my mind that you have that kind of freedom. Not in MY house when I am the responsible party. I'd make that decision, and probably be OK with it IF you came to me and I knew what to expect). But I'm sure that your folks will be blindsided by it.

Even tho they weren't charged with the actual shooting, Dylan Klebold and Erik Harris's (Columbine Shooters) parents were charged with child neglect, endangerment, and became social pariahs in their social circles. How can a good parent NOT know what their kids are up to is the question the whole town will ask.

It probably depends on how much your growing. If your growing 3-4 plants they'll probably go easier on you then if you have a room specifically for growing with nutes, lights, fans, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, Acs, exhaust hoses, carbon filters, (maybe they will go easier on you if your doing a soil grow since it looks less safiticated then a hydro setup).

I was in soil, and my grow op was called the most sophisticated op in the areas history. I was totally organic, yet got hit with a $25K "toxic cleanup" fee. They are gonna use verbage that will paint you in the most unfavorable light and assassinate your (and your parents) character. Get caught growing in your parents home and you too will know what it's like. Yellow journalism rules the airwaves. Scandal sells.

Judges have nothing to do with who gets charged with what, that's what DA's do, and cops do recommend what charges should be filed in their arrest report.

The biggest issue with growing in your parents house is although most likely they wouldn't be charged with any crime, if there is enough equity in your house they could attempt to file for forfeiture and it would cost an Attorney tens of thousands of dollars to fight it.
