This guy ordered hydroponic equipment from a vendor that advertises in High Times, and the police used this to get a search warrant and bust him.

this is really interesting..... i was wondering if there was any reason to be paranoid about ordering online....

A word of advice.Law enforcement pays shops and credit card companies to obtain records.I know this first hand as it happened to me.Although i didn't get busted it was close.I ordered an areo flo 120 from www.discounthydro.com in cali.This was probably 10 years ago.I set everything up and had just established clones in the unit when i recieved a phone call from the state police narc division.he asked me if he obtained a search warrant would he find a hydroponic system in my house.I said no and tore it down,but had the laws been the way they are now i'm sure he could of gotten a warrant and searched my home or my dads home at the time...lol.He didn't live there though.Point is nobody knew i had bought the areo flo except visa and discount hydro..so you tell me.I own a hydro store now and we don't even except cards...just cash.I would advise everyone to only purchase by this method especially if your buying seeds from holland or canada and having them shipped to the us.

this i9s very scary police and government in general are out of control HOW IN THE FUCK can the government tell me what kind of medicine i can use and cant thats what it comes down to for me and what a bitch drive 2.5 hours to hydro shop to buy supplies thats fuct aAND think of all the legit tomato growers that get harrassed by these stupid fucking do gooders that are gonna rid the world of all that evil weed and those malicious potheads what a bunch of backwards fuccks start with the doctors and their lexapro and oxy

no shit

where were the 32 ounces? cuz that didnt look like much in the picture. let me guess they escalate everything on the bust to make it seem like its worth wasting our money.

all those hours of sitting outside his house to see if he takes out his trash to go through it, and watch the mold grow outside his house or some shit.

who is the fucking judge to give them that warrant for just those minor fuckin "tips".

why dont you fuckin pigs go find the rapist and child molestors you donut eating fuckin bastards

america is getting more fucked by the day

The fucked up thing is that if a grower gets busted he gets more time than a child molester

there is more to it than that, thats the information they are giving to give us growers a scare.

I would have thought it would have been more down to his stupidity than anything else.

how would a local police force be able to track out of state shipments, I would have thought it would have been the fbi that would have gone down that route

even if the company is in the same state, are the police force really going to spend that much time and effort tracking shipment lists, when most of them will be going out of state, thats no longer their department, thats gotta be down to the fbi, if the fbi is chasing a collar they are not going to turn it over to local police to fuck up

they had to be watching him in the first place the warrant was just keeping the paper trail in order

yeah they were definitely on to him already, otherwise it would have been the fbi that got him under those circumstances
