true that, but way easy, like you say on the screening, if legal numbers, let the cops come, be the rippers I be lookin for, lol and out in the booger woods like Im at, Ive bout run off everyone anyhow so far out no likes to visit while gas is high, lmfao.I grew 4 Afghani plants in my yard in Independence in 1982...and did 6 in '83. hid em right in the back fenceline...200 ft from the road. I could see em but nobody else did. OK...my old neighbor next door finally got wise...... "Them ain't tomotoes"....so i ended up taking some beers over and getting him about half crocked and told him it was pot and that a joint made ya feel about the same way. He laughed and said "Well it can't be all bad then" and that was that
Oh yeah....dog runs.....some get pretty large. Would work well. Better than plastic or polycarbonate. Just put up screening so it can't be seen/etc. Gotta worry about the rippers too....prolly as much as the cops...
Missouri is different than other states. St.louis and Kansas City is a little more laid back than the rest of the state. The drug task forces and prosecutors are having a hard time with this. I think it will be like Michigan when they passed medical the drug task forces started harassing the card holders. I have a feeling this section where you have to allow wateantlees searches was their two cents worth.If you think the po-po/etc. is just gonna stop by for a look-see because you have a med card...I doubt that in a big, big way. None of us pay those kinda taxes needed for such home-to-home policing.
However...never say never.
IF "shit happens" and the cops come for >whatever< reason to your home/neighbor's home/close proximity and smell weed/detect anything associated with weed....and then ask WTF? is the deal.....and you produce a card/cards to cover your ass for smell/possession/etc....you can bet they can ask to take a look. If you are in count.....(this happened to us in 2006 in CO) you say "Yes".
If you are cropping and hiding under the guise of med and speeding on counts...you say "NO"...and then they wait for the warrant and bust you like anyone else outside the law. We had teenagers @ the time and unrelated circumstances caused a chain of events to happen that ended up culminating with 3 cops on our doorstep. We cooperated from the get-go and i let them in w/o a warrant. I had 2 gardens...one on a small GH on my back deck...and one in the garage. They wanted to see the GH on the deck.....so that is where I led them. They didn't try/ask to look anywhere else in the house.... and good thing...cus i had about 30 large plants in bloom in the garage. I knew if i didn't cooperate/let them in they would come back storming in hard and I'd have NO control over an of it. By cooperating fully/not being a dick/standing on my rights because it was med...they eased way up and we had no further issues....that day...or going forward.....even though they knew (now) that my house was a "grow house" in a small town. LOL. The Sheriff lived on my street!
Your best bet is to stay in counts. Grow bigger plants if need be. Go HUGE. Make it a game because it is a game. Treat it as if it is totally illegal. No talk of it. No display of it. No smell of it.
good luck
Colorado was no different back in the day. We had a mean Drug Task Force here as well. They busted a house on my street while I was actively growing hard as well. They questioned my neighbor but stopped short of coming to my house...and that was a good thing cus at the time i was fighting odor. They ended up finding 225 plants in the guys house. When Med hit in 2000 we went through a period here where the cops were STILL trying to kick in doors and shit.....that is...until the TAXPAYERS raised Hell and told them it was legal and a waste of their tax dollars to harass med folks. Point is...even here in CO.....where many folks think we NEVER faced illegality...we had the same shit going on as everyone else does. You either find yer nuts...or you don't in those situations....
My county now uses "Codes" as an in. First person to show will be County Code en forcement if they wanna see if you are over count. Then..if you are....it will funnel into LEO's gig. Fortunately...in their push to regulate above and beyond what the law says they can do....they enacted FINES rather than talking JAIL TIME for overrages.Looks like $1000 fine and they will likely cut down the excess. I'm taking my chances....LOL.....whatever. As long as there's no limit of how many GUNS folks can have....I'm growing what I want/how many I wanna grow. I worked all my life and have ample funds for attorneys and shit...so hey.....whatever. Not gonna stop havin fun cus they MIGHT come. We'll just worry about it if they do....as always. I just wish I had somewhere for all of this pot to go...LOL. That shit just piles up when there's no market...but fuck it./..i love to grow...and we can legally keep all we grow...so no worry there. It is kinda nuts though...LOL...never woulda guessed it 10 years ago when I just couldn't keep up with demands. Ah.......legalization....
Check this article out and read the last couple of paragraphs.if Mogrow had read the actual article on the cbd raids, those folks were advertising it for cures and health benefits, according to the FDA after they approved epidiolex for big pharma last month, you cannot advertise it cures anything, they have the patent. That's why you are seeing lots of CBD places advertising it for your pets now more than for a cure, etc. You are just wrong and behind the times, dude, Im sorry for that. Google the article, KC and ST Lou have already done the decriminilation thing, aka the 100 gram rule and there is legislation trying to get passed that would make it statewide. When they raided the cbd places, they just removed the cbd, they didn't arrest anyone. Google it. You are simply behind the times on this subject, I get your angst of how it looks on paper, but you need to go the New Approach MO website and just read, it will inform you of corrections of your misconceptions. LMFAO, Michigan yesterday the governor absolved their medical marijuana licensing board for being ineffecient for the mmj patients. Bro, you gotta read more and read the whole article and then make your summation. Cherry picking the first sentence of an article you might find or your opinion overriding facts just makes you look silly. These are big steps in MO, look at AR and IL, how long have they been at it, AR hasn't even got the clubs goin yet after two yrs. Please, no offense intended, go to the New Approach MO site, especially on FB, and they will answer any question you have or fear. They are the backbone behind this amendment getting passed.
