HELP HELP HELP im freaking out..

My plants are in flower. They have beein in flower for 3 weeks and 3 days. I have a small grow in box i built in my closet that i am currently growing 2 plants in.

Here is my situation: The fucking maintinance guy came over the other day to do some shit to the apartment. I was at school however my roomate was still at the apartment. My roomate knows waht im doing and knows that i do it legally and he knows what to do about my grow and hid all the ducting so that theres no way the maintinance guy could have seen the box or the ducting coming out of the closet. The only thing he saw was all of my nutes and shit on my counter in my bathroom.

I had no idea this guy was stopping by and my friend didnt think to hide all the stuff in my bathroom.

Now the scary part. My friend just informed me a security guard that normally stops by due to our noise complaints pulled my roomate aside and told him that i needed to get whatever i had going on in the closet out by tomorrow, tonight if possible.


WHAT DO I DO? I live in North CA and i have medical license to grow up to 10 plants but it is an apartment so is it safe to do what im doing or should i take it down because technically it isn't my property.....

I looked in my CA Norml website to see if i could find any laws regarding something like this and i cant find anything .

I am seriously freaking out this is my first grow i dont know what im going to do any advice or help by anyone is greatly appreciated...

Hey Orange juicer,
I know it is a few hours behind our time here but it is 'till the wee hours of the morning and right now the best thing you can do is get some sleep.

You will get this figured out. I don't know for sure...but if you have 10 plants growing and are allowed to do so and you don't have time to get rid of them or it would be too dangerous to do so, then perhaps show this card to the security man.

Let him find out. If you can't even find the info, chances are he DOESN"T have a CLUE.

With you FREAKIN' OUT the way you are,...you are just pointing guilt towards yourself. You are being your worst enemy right now.

If you have a medical card then you have certain RIGHTS that others don't. This guy doesn't know what they are. Calm down and try and think this through logically and rationally.

If you have this card and you are not sure of your rights, (you should find out what they are)
by the time this guy finds out, not that he has the time either, you will be in the clear.

This guy MIGHT even be trying to blackmail you in some way so I would STAND tall, and stand your ground. Show him the card and then see how he reacts BUT 1st and foremost.....

GET SOME SLEEP or your anxiety will just increase and you will be your worst enemy.

About a month ago I told my 2 neighbours that I smoke marijuana. They were totally cool about it and I had freaked out for years about them finding out so you really never know the outcome.

Good luck Orange...things will work out for you buddy. I'm sure.

The thing about your situation is that people you didn't want knowing now know. If you continue to grow, your crop may end up getting jacked. The security gaurd is probably just fucking with your head, wants to get a laugh out of giving you a scare, that's all. But like I said, the real threat is who he tells, and people who may attempt to nab your crop. Maintenance has access to your apartment unless someone who is in the apartment has secured it via a lock that cannot be accessed from outside the door. If there are any times that no one is present at your location.. count on your shit getting jacked. They aren't going to tell anyone, that's why a security gaurd confronted you and not the property manager. They want this little secret to themselves, they don't know that you're growing grass, they are just fucking with you, like I said, nutrients don't mean shit. Hardly enough for them to go on to do anything legally, but like I said, they may try multiple techniques to scare you... but in my honest opinion, you have medical permission to do this... why have it if not to stand on that platform and defend the rights you've been granted by your state and doctor.

Agreed, but also. You stated that the security guard gets a lot of noise complaints from your apartment; isnt that just drawing attention to you? Maybe tone it down a little bit and dont give anyone a reason to get pissed off with you.

tuff situation... even if you are in the right there are 2 things you don't want..

you don;t want a law suit
and you don't wanna get kicked outta school..

I am guessing you go to CAL or some UC.. and the UC has some strict policies on "drugs" ...


can you hand the plants off to a friend... ?

sorry about the hassles

cheers


BTW- i am in berkeley

having a medical card does NOT give you the right to grow on someone else's property.

ok dude if you have a license I am pretty sure you can grow where you want as long as its not a fire hazard. I also have a license but are you sure you can have that many plants. I can have six mature and six immature so be careful dont lose the license for growing too much.

where does this info come from?

you are a renter. you do not own the property. if the owner or an employee of the owner has told you to remove your grow i would. it is recommended that you do not discuss growing with your landlord but if it does come up you should do your best to explain your situation and receive the proper permission. property owners can lose their property if the feds come in. why would they risk this loss for your gain? use some common sense.

I tend to agree, You shouldn't be growing in or on someone else's property. They would have the right to shut you down.

** And class is now out of session **

I hate sounding like the usual crowd of nuthuggers.....But....GK & Fdd more times than not will give you the correct advice.

thanks for the responses guys i appreciate it alot as i am in a pickle and dont know how to get out of it.

I want to stand my ground becasue i am now over my limit and i have kept it quiet this whole time nobody had a clue what i was doing... my roomate told me theres no way he opend my closet so yes all he is going off of is the nutes and ph stuff that was in my bathroom...And a few potting buckets but thats really all he saw.

but i am renting an appartment so its technically not my property. I am going to talk to my friend today about possibly keeping them with him for a little but im afraid they are going to go through too much shock and turn into hermies or something... i know this is a better solution than going through legal shit.... damn i want to stand my ground....

now that i know im not legally allowed to since its not my property should i wait and see what they tell me if the property manager or something comes by and asks whats going on should i inform them and see what they say or just say nothing...

i am really not afraid of the security guard taking my shit becasue he doesnt have access however the maintinance guy does... he is the one who saw the nutes and stuff so how the hell does the security guard know..

i am freaking out and its looking like im gonna need to shut down... i may be over reacting but i dont see waht else to do... the lights about to turn off in like 30 mins so if im forced to move them today or tonight im gonna have to disrupt its dark...

thanks for the help guys i donnt waht im gonna do...

A lot of good advice was provided...I agree the apartment you are living in my have policies against growing. You drew too much attention to yourself with the noise situation. I would shut it down; lesson learned.

should i stand my ground? should i leave it as it is and see if they come and say something to me about it or should i be prepared to do that and get rid of everything.?

Like i said the security guard is the one who informed us so for him to know i think the property manager probably knows.. GAHHHH i dont want to get scared over this but i am worried...

If i am unable to get them out of here for a while should i just get rid of them or should i see if it gets into a more serious or bigger deal? I mean if they came by and said we need to investigate i could tell them right there what im doing but if they dont then i would have shut everything down for nothing... wow this sucks.

i just dont know what to do i need all the advice i can get...

sounds to me like a whole lot of the wrong type of people know. now the whole complex will know you as the hippy pot growers.

I would shut it down.

I would be upset, but it is a small loss when compared to dealing with the law.

yeah thats what it looks like to me.... damn still a month to go too..

well thanks for the advice guys i think im going to shut it down ... I definately hate doing this but its my only option everyone does know now. gah it was a fun one while it lasted maybe ill bring it back up in a month or 2 if things cool down...

thanks for the quick responses too... damn this sucks

Bad Luck Juicer, sorry to hear about the dewd.

All the best

The part that makes me wonder is that he says his medical rec. allows him to grow up to 10 plants...why does every single MJ permit seem to have different limits? Are some people lying or what? My limit is double what he says and I know others on here that say their limit is even more? Every patient I know in real life ( spanning 3 counties down here ) has the same limit I do. What gives ?

Many landlord agreements state that if you are caught selling or using the place of rent for cultivating any kind of drug,you are in breach of the tenancy and can be evicted without notice.
This is a fact and it does not matter if you have a license or not all though you cant be arrested you can be evicted.
The security guard is prolly a toker and you should listen to him
