June 3/2016. Case didn't go to court. After this happened i had my medical card within 4 business days which helped me get off. Nothing serious like yourself, mainlyIf you had an illness. You wouldn't have been to court and got screwed so badly.
WHEN WAS THIS If you don't mind saying...like 5 years back now??
Wasn't within the last two years that's a given!!
Damn, that's terrible to hear Pulpit but thank you very much for sharing that info.Agreed, i was doing what the o.p was doing. I now have a 12k legal bill to deal with. I had 7 indoor, 6 outdoor and about 20 clones. Since this was my first offence for anything i received 70 hours comm service, $400.00 to charity, 12k legal bill. Crown has agreed to drop all charges, pretty expensive lesson if you ask me. This is in Ontario.
Oh man, this is my worst nightmare and why I posted....really sorry to hear about your situation, but thanks for sharing. My little garden is quite a bit smaller though, I've kept it at 5 plants or less to minimize risk and consequences. Even still, after the advice in this thread and hearing your story, I'll be looking for a Skype doc next week and file an application with HC. Like yourself, I also manage chronic migraines and anxiety/sleep issues with MMJ. The bouts of fear of getting busted definitely don't help with the anxiety though, so I think I'll suck it up and get legal.Agreed, i was doing what the o.p was doing.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what was it that got you busted? Was it the outdoor plants attracting attention?Agreed, i was doing what the o.p was doing.

@NorthernNed, sorry to barge in. My question is a bit off topic. How do you manage to keep these plants, mom, clones? do you keep records of your plants, feed, procedures? does it take too much time? I really would like to have something like what you described.A big thank you to those that read answered my post! I am in Alberta, not a friendly province at all. I don't know of any prescribing docs here, but as far as I know, Skype is still a viable option. I am willing to pay the $300-400 for peace of mind, as long as I'm not putting myself at risk. I only have 5 plants (keeping under 6 due to Harper's BS mandatory minimums), so getting a higher plant count with a legal script will provide much more flexibility, let me keep mothers of effective strains and go perpetual. I've been scared to over 5 plants as I'm not willing to risk jail time for producing my own medicine, and though not ideal I've been able to keep myself from running out with only 5 plants.
I currently only run 5 plants at a time. I want to get legal so that I can have a few more for mothers, clones, etc. My garden right now is very small and simple. I like to be organized though, and keep records of everything I do.@NorthernNed, sorry to barge in. My question is a bit off topic. How do you manage to keep these plants, mom, clones? do you keep records of your plants, feed, procedures? does it take too much time? I really would like to have something like what you described.
Man, that's rough....sorry to hear about the mess. I don't have any external factors to worry about thankfully, as no one other than myself knows. I've also tried to minimize risk as much as possible: I own my own home, have a hidden secret room in my basement that is sound Insulated, good carbon scrubbers, nothing exhausted outside, etc. My room is so hidden that I've had friends over in my basement in peak bloom and they had no idea they were only a few feet from some stinky girls. My only real concern is the freaking smart power meters they have on the houses here. I only run about 800 W on avg, but still a small concern.The reason I got caught, my girlfriend at the time was on heavy anti depressants. She was told zero alcohol by her doctor, her Dr stated no issues with using weed. I was in the process of setting us both up and she had a relapse. She waited until her daughter and friend (with baby) were over, called the cops and said her and two other girls and a baby were in a grow up and they felt unsafe. So like 16 cops showed up at my door, she told them I had over 100 plants. Ha…she was arrested the next day for assaulting me and when they took her to the station she had all of my jewelry so she was also charged with theft. She is now my ex girlfriend.
Ned… doesn’t matter how big or small the garden is, the cops will arrest you if you don’t have the proper documents, they are just following the rules right/wrong. On a side note since I switched to sativas I have been migraine free for 3 months. Like Raider stated, no criminal record. I travel to the USA on business and I also have vacation property. I would have lost my job and would have been denied access to the USA. 12k is f all to have everything dropped in my mind but still a chuck of $.
more than crazy bro, i am just pissed about the comm service since it was an illegal search. I asked for a search warrant and they entered my house anyways f'n cops. i would have won the case if it went to trial but i wasn't about the spend an additional 10k on top of the 12k to prove it.[/QUOTE]@Pulpit_ Just... Damn... man... " ... bitches be crazy yo"
Damn, that's messed up but I can somewhat relate. Before I had my license I too was dating a crazy chick that I was scared of her reporting me to the cops for my grow when I was breaking up with her. I seriously considered staying with her just because I so scared of what she might do when I broke up with her, even though I couldn't stand her. She too was on anti-depressants and would go straight off the fuckin deep end when drinking. So glad to have that situation long behind me now, but was stressful as fuck at the time. I roll single now a days and quite happy with my life lol.The reason I got caught, my girlfriend at the time was on heavy anti depressants.
