Neighbors ratted me out

So if the neighbors cook something I don't like the smell of, I should just call the police?

What if your neighbors are actually cool with smoking and growing weed, just they got tired of smelling your smoke every time you lit up?

I know I wouldn't want to smell it in my own house just because the neighbors were blazing. I remember what its like to live close to other people. After a while, even the things you are cool with can piss you off.

Neighbors no longer communicate outside of calling the police on one another, so who knows if they were just annoyed that day, or if they are weed haters.

Sorry for your loss and stupid ass neighbor. You did right by not telling the pigs anything at all. They are always full of shit and use scare tactics, I am older and wiser enough now to tell them piss off and let's see what they can do. Never tell them anything! Will always come back to haunt you.

Is moving out of the question? Sounds like the neighbor will always be watching you for something, time to split and find a new place. Just wondering why they called the cops, you aren't harming anyone and it's none of their damn business anyway. Good luck and watch your six as long as you are living there.




I wouldn't let the police in without a search warrant, and they ultimately left...

Once they were gone, I killed all my recently rooted clones, the mothers, disassembled my cabinet, and threw my gear and ripped up ladies in a mall dumpster. It was their second visit in a few months, so growing here is clearly impossible.

Good luck to everyone out there. My neighbors smelled resin we scraped from a bowl. It's just not safe here. The cowardly neighbors won't even reveal themselves. The cops said they received "multiple calls" but they were all full of lies tonight, trying to get me to confess and give them evidence so they could come in without a warrant. Bullshit you received multiple calls, it's probably just one miserable woman who nobody likes.

Stay safe RIU users. Never trust anyone and never talk to cops. Do not self incriminate yourself, and do not hand over evidence.

It may not be your neighbor. I have been approached by police more than 3000 times. Just for an example I was on a highway with my motorcycle and when I went passed a certain area I could clearly smell hash. I stopped. I followed my nose. It turned out to be some French men at an old farmhouse with a few kilo's of hash on the kitchen table. I had to knock at the door and see if I could buy some of their hash etc. I can't say I've never had a neighbor call the cops because I have. But luckily some Hindu's move in down the hallway and the complaintant thought their cooking was me smoking mj. I had at that time a few hundred hits of acid and no pot but still freeking as I listened from the door as the police explained that the odour that she was smelling was not mj.

Oh, I thought we were talking about burning things, not cooking things.

Does your rental agreement allow you to smoke inside the building?

What's the difference? What you're suggesting is that because we all live close to each other that we should be mindful of each other's smell space, otherwise go to jail.

So doesn't that mean I should have police show up when I smell ANYTHING I don't like? If i don't like the smell of some fish, should I call the police if they cook it every day?

There are plenty of smells people have to tolerate. Having the police show up because someone can't tolerate a smell is no different than calling the police over indian food. It still makes them dickheads.

The fact of the matter is that if you live in an apartment, you have to deal with your neighbors smells and noises more so than if you were in a house.

Would that make my neighbors any less of dicks?

Where I live, it's not legal to put anti-smoking clauses (tobacco) in a lease anyway. Smoking marijuana is illegal and thus can not be allowed or disallowed by contract. To be more clear, no, there's nothing in my lease mentioning marijuana or cannabis.

I'm not speaking about the legality of any of this anyway. I'm saying I don't feel like a "bad guy" for polluting their living space because they don't like my smell. I refuse to accept I'm being inconsiderate, especially considering all the effort to spoof.

If i lit off a fart bomb in the lobby, the police wouldn't show up threatening to put me in handcuffs.

Dude, just stop. It's like listening to my teenager desperately trying to justify why she did something stupid.

Buried in all your spin, you know you aren't suppose to be smoking pot in that apartment for what appears to be more than one reason.

Do you think it was wise to be smoking in a place where you are also growing illegally? If you had given your neighbors just the slightest consideration thinking that maybe they didn't like the smell or maybe they were weed haters altogether and then in the process you could have looked out for your own interests as well, and you'd still be growing. But you decided to apply a "fuck the neighbors" attitude light up in there anyway, and now here you are bitching about cops, neighbors and your dead plants. Well, I guess the neighbors said "fuck you" right back now didn't they?

But whatever, its your grow that is in the garbage. You figure it out.

Maybe you missed the part where I explained the smell control? Clearly I didn't have a "fuck the neighbors" attitude.

My point is that there's plenty of things people don't like. This one just happens to be illegal. It doesn't mean the smell is more obnoxious than anything else.

We actually put out candy on halloween too, and one of our neighbors put a thank you note on our door and called us sweet. That was a few days before the police incident.

We treat our neighbors with love and respect.

I never realized how many weed haters there are on RIU.

I personally am an advocate of marijuana legalization.

You're also not taking into consideration that if it wasn't for getting caught smoking, we would have thought we were in the clear to keep growing.

Then we would have gotten in way more trouble when they smelled something.

Do you honestly think it would be safe to grow here just because we decided to smoke somewhere else? Our neighbor clearly has a 0 tolerance nose. Getting caught smoking was teh canary in the coal mine, and the canary died so we shut the mine down.

You really think I'd "still be growing"? That's foolish. I'm not working in a mine where the canary died so easily.

All true. Me and my roommate were doing anything we could to mitigate the risk and we over did it.

All we were thinking at the moment was "what if they come back with a search warrant??". It was a panic reaction.

The good news is that we didn't end up in jail.

We can keep fighting the good fight, unlike some complacent folks here who seem to be happy with what we've got. Sure, take the neighbor's side. They're clearly awesome people who had their precious nose space violated. Had i simply forgot to pick up my dog's shit, I wouldn't have gotten in any trouble. Nobody goes to jail over some dog shit.

Bottom line is if someone thinks people should go to jail over weed smells, but not dog shit smells, they are an enemy of the cause. They're the ones that want to keep it illegal. That's bad karma and hypocritical, and it will come back to bite them in one way or another, especially if they smoke weed themselves.

Next time don't throw out your grow equip. Just store it until you can grow again. As long as no plants or weed on property.

If we all worked off this train of thought 90% of us would never grow. Get a grip.

FLIR works on heat. The glass heats up. They can senses it. Good luck with the glass.
That depends on your setup, mine is cooled and stays about 80, glass reflects the image, so you can still hide that by using a fan to cool it, and place the middle of the fan ( center produces heat) facing toward the road so they see a small spot that would be like a tv or game system.

Colorado man...in the us flir is not sufficient evidence for a warrant..nor is it likely they knock on your door for a heat signature, what if i'm growing vegetables, what if I have a large saltwater fish tank, what if I have a beach in my house and am pretending i'm in the sun for all they know!!! Lol

You did the right thing. Whatever it takes to stay out of a cage and deny resources to the enemy, that is victory. With any luck, fate will identify the rats and you will be provided an opportunity to provide them with a dish best served cold (i.e. revenge).
