– if you like smoking mariajuana
– if you dont do fuss when your under effect of it
– if you dont want to defy the law ,dealing, buying
then you’re ready for growing.
calculate how much you consume in gr, and buy an indoor installation. nobody will come to disturb you.
i dont smoke anymore but smoking a joint is like drink a coffee after dinner the intelligent ganja user dont do it to show off like most people do .
the problem arises for people who live still with their parents and cant do an indoor plant ,they risk by police and that’s not right.

trust me. police dont care, if you demostrate not being a threat for public order . but you must smoke only at home, not deal it and go out with 2,3 grams. at least in my country work like that. if you harvest 300 gr for example and are for personal use
Yeah, doesn’t really work like that in UK. Of course the police need a sufficient reason to obtain a warrant to search your house but if they find that you are cultivating cannabis you’ll definitely get nicked.
You are lucky to live in a place where the police seem to be maybe a little more liberal and understanding about growing for personal use.
UK used to be like that in some regions but folk took the piss royally and did become a threat to public order.
Us Brits can be complete muppets when it comes to abusing any tolerance we are given. Seems a lot of people enjoy simply pissing the rest of society off and being anti social more than drugs themselves (which are relatively harmless when done properly).
Tried growing my own few years back, bloody greenflies got most of it, only had 3 plants ( 4 seeds but 1 didnt grow ), harvest was crap TBH, a lot of time & effort for very little. I didnt go the whole hydroponics route though, the set up for that is quite expensive and I dont have the room for it so just grew a few naturally.
Problems that put me off trying again…
1) Smell – Mine were indoor and the whole house started to smell of weed including my work clothes
2) Paranoia -Both from the smell and having plants on my window sill in sight of the neighbours
3) Time & Effort to yield ratio was rubbish
Remember cultivation is illegal in the UK, and although the penalties are low for a few plants if you are a regular smoker you need many plants to be self sufficient and an expensive pro set up to get a decent yield, get caught trying grow a years supply and you will probably get done for intent to supply which can have high penalties.
Just to note – one way to avoid accusation of growing with intent to supply is make sure there are no scales (weighing machines) or plastic bags on the premises as these are clear evidence of intent to supply others.
It can be the difference between 150 hours community service and 2 years in prison, for the same number of plants (120 in those particular cases). One mitigating factor was the lack of bags and scales, also the admission that the offender would rather supply themselves with the controlled substance than rely on black market criminals.
Judges can be reasonable, but they can only go on evidence and what is spoken, and in medical cases the Crown Prosecution Service generally prefer a caution to a court case. The cops know that and often offer a Police caution rather than a court case (although some people will insist on a court case).

bollox, atleast in the UK – what country are you in?
as someone close to me was caught growing 10 plants, for personal, and they were trying to send them inside for a stretch, advising them they were looking for atleast 6 months, and even moved courts from magistrates to crown,
this person has no previous convictions and was not asking for any other to be taken in to consideration, just was a bit silly and left a window open in the summer and an off duty police man walked past, smelt – and they raided them a few days later. They didnt believe 10 plants was personal, that they must have been dealing (they wernt) and they wanted to know who they were ‘working for’ ……..PMSL!!!!
They got suspended term and 200 hours community service and probation – now that in its self fucks up your life for a while as we couldnt go partying at the weekends for months as they were doing their community service at the weekend on top of working 5 days a week – so dont be so silly – it is illegal and they do prosecute!!!!!!!
umm 10 plants sounds like quite a lot for personal, u can get quite a lot from one plant… i was watching some police weed programme and the cops in it where saying they dont come down harsh if there is only one plant being harvested and there are maybe a couple of others at different stages of growth… also i personally dont think police have an interest in this if it genuinly looks like you are growing for yourself, as ur withdrawing from funding criminals
I guess it depends on how much you smoke a day….. maybe..
i’ve thought of doing something like this, but it would mean committing to being a stoner for ages…
Yea it’s not TOO bad in the UK, when I was at uni in Plymouth, we got raided as apparently a few houses down was supposed to get raided for something else, then they smelt the plants and the smoke because we always left the window open when we smoked, so they gave us a knock on the door… then busted in the place forcing us all upstairs while shouting at us like “Where are the plants!” and shit while we were still rolling and smoking upstairs… In the end we all got off with a warning but they destroyed the 4 plants we were growing…
Its a sad thing watching the pigs rip ’em up, they were so young 🙁
