Police visit over garden can't belive in 2015

The same people are running three homes converted to grow houses. They run 15k in lighting per grow house and harvest about 20lbs a month. The smell is near constant and they do not care. Zero carbon filters and everything vented to the outside. All of this under the "protection" of A20.

Im all for growing your own, and smoking as a free person. However many growers have the attitude that because they are legally protected under state laws that somehow gives them a right to force everyone else to just deal with it and shut up. What choice did the neighbors really have in the situation? Its not like they could walk to most growers and say "Hey your plants are stinking up my house, can you move them?". No, we all know that wouldn't work so they used the only real choice available. Im not saying I would call the cops, but I can see how some may believe that is the best option.

Saudi Aurora and their cowboy cops- that explains everything. I do not know why the fuck Aurora PD has a stick up their ass about weed but they've been really bad to the point of corrupt about the whole legalization and patient/citizen/property rights thing.

I have the means to live anywhere I want- and the gall to go do it if I chose. I'm in Ft Collins because it really is that nice of a place to live. Not perfect... but nice. Very nice. Health care is first class up this way, too. New hospitals. Strong geriatrics departments throughout the northern front range.

I haven't had any problem with the cops fyi, not in Colorado at least, lol. Landlord is a different story but they just make threats.

I had thought about Ft. Collins but for some reason I thought it was not that great of an area in general. We have been looking in the metro area mostly and have considered Co Springs because houses seem to be cheaper down there. I dunno, we've only been in the state 3 years, and only know the Denver area really.

Damn, lol. I was under the impression that all grows had to have some sort of odor control, I know all the dispensary and wholesaler grows do.

The cops would have to drive past a TGS 2 blocks up the road to come hassle me about my shit. If they ever do I'm gonna say it's coming from them, lol.

I know that Denver has an odor ordnance because of that article a while back about the ridiculous device they have for "sniffing out" if the odor is above the limmit. I don't know about any other city/local laws or how they work it but I do know they have like 4 guys for all of Denver that are even trained to use the thing so yea.

Also yea, it gets me so much when people complain about smell or smoke of Cannabis. It's like, have you ever been to Commerce City? It's just a mix of trash, smog, waste, and chemicals with hints of growing weed every warehouse you dive past. Yet you're worried about smelling my plants when the breeze blows that way.

They only complain because it's weed and they have a fucking stick up their butt about it. If it was anything else besides I'm sure burning rubber or piles of garbage, they wouldn't even notice it. I'd like to grow some stinky ass non-cannabis plants all in my yard just as an experiment to see if I can get a ticket for it, lol.

My neighbor fucking has a fire-pit and burns wood all the time that gets sucked into my (finished)basement. It'll illegal to burn anything in your yard yet if I called the cops they would laugh. But if I said he was smoking weed they would go nuts.

I fucking hate it man. For 15 years I felt like a criminal and moving to Colorado liberated me, making me feel free and accepted for the first time in my life. Now here we are 3 years later, cannabis is legal, and I feel like more of a 2nd class citizen than ever.

IMO, legalization(the way it's been done) is destroying things. It only bennifits the big guy and fucks over the little guy and the medical patients that paved the fucking way for it.
