4-6 foot plants won't produce a pound of top grade pot. 1/4-1/2 pound tops. That's if conditions are perfect.

"1/4-1/2 pound tops."

That would have been my "guesstimation" for a professionally grown plant.

Sing along around the fire down at the old mill.

This story reminds me of the movie "Homegrown" with Billy Bob Thornton.

Do you really think Vets will will break the law? One felony and all Fed benefits go down the drain. Get real. Heck, we have retired military types, who fought hard for CRSC. They are not doing your dirty work.

Our friends picked up an ex hydroponics operation in BC, the entire operation is underground, grow op, generator, heat exchanger, everything excluding the house. There is a ~75x75 shop on the property with a concrete bunker the same size under it.

They now use it as a mini storage, the property is ~12 acres IIRC out in the middle of a provincial park.

Me too!.. Look, they've gotten .0000001% of the total supply of marijuana off the table in one swoop! Cheers. (hic)!

My dirty work? What an inconsiderate and stupid thing to say. Perhaps I should have said armed citizens instead of ex-military, but my comments stand otherwise. People in this country are getting to the point where they cannot count on the government to protect their interests anymore and I can definitely see people taking the law into their own hands in the next 5, 10 or 15 years with regards to this alien horde sweeping over the US and bringing with it an enormous crime wave. But hey, it's not happening in your backyard, so why should you care, right gringo?

These enterprising undocumented workers are just growing the pot Americans won't grow.

Tell me about the one shot one kill posts you make? With those posts you do not need anyone, except maybe a spotter. You are a one man killer. Glad you are on our side. So, what does this Govt. owe ya?

This scenario might happen sooner than 5 years if this insane amnesty is passed with our president's seal of approval.

The enviro-nazis can keep the loggers out, so they can't make a living for their families, but they don't tangle with the drug cartels...

And it ain't just a pot patch either... We got lots of methamphetamine here in Southern Oregon...

There's places that I won't ride armed with 10 friends...

Meth-heads???

I don't know what county you're in, but whatever happened to the sheriff forming a posse and going after a$$holes like that?

You have to be kidding!!!! They won't even investigate a break in or a robbery.....Of course, we're a ways out from town....so, we basically use the good old 3"S". At night the sound of a pump shotgun being jacked carries a long way. And a .338 round carries even further.
