    guy with card got raided

    I know a guy who has an AZ. med card. Saw him today and he got raided last month. His crop had "died" a week earlier. They still took all his equipment, his vehicles and froze his accounts. He said they tried to indict through grand jury but with no plants they were unable. They still have all his stuff and frozen accounts. He says it will cost him thousands in legal fees to get his stuff back. They will not give back grow equipment. He says was worth about $30,000. He said cops were going down a list of people no longer allowed to grow. He said they made 12 raids that day. I wonder what this is really all about. The laws here are so tangled and only benefit a very few.

    Scary. Though 30k doesn't sound like personal medical use.

      The $30,000 seems to be sticking in a lot of craws here. Sounds too weird. Desertdan, I'd be careful with the guy if I were you...

      The dude said it was from his card but he said some other stuff that did not make sense. From what I smoked with him at the lake he was good at what he was doing. He also had some interesting things to say about local dispensaries.

        AT$30.000! That guy had to own a utility company! Or was he tapped in illegally? (That's a small commercial grow I guess)

            I have to agree with others that $30,000 of equipment is more than just a personal grow situation. Maybe more to the story than what guy told you? Glad you got a good smoke out of him though. Did he tell you how much product they found on his property? If none, he got rid of it somehow.......selling perhaps?

              All I was saying that maybe they suspected him of selling illegally? Without knowing whole story, it was just a thought.

              I agree with you, no one staying within the guidelines as set by their state should ever be raided.

            Grow equipment in itself is not illegal. My neighbor is a battiness and her whole home emits HID light from windows. Why should she hide grow equipment could be used to grow many things besides weed. If that "Poor" guy had $30,000 worth of grow room that indicates to me he had much excess and would be tempted to sell the stuff. I wonder if they were not paying for electricity? Some larger home growers try to by pass the normal hook up. Please send us more info on this grower.

              The guy told me his family was in the AC business. He also mentioned he had some connection to local dispensaries. I did not ask a lot of questions we just listened to him rant on for quite a while. He was pissed.

            I don't blame him for being pissed........but who knows, he may not have been telling the whole story. Like I said in an earlier post, and least you got a great free high out him!!

                Maybe he was trying to over grow . But if they can't prove it, got their feelings hurt.

                Might have been preparing to go into the business legally, but they got him before first big grow. Can't assume. But he was right, will cost thousands to prove innocence.

                There is not a medical patient in the world that needs $30,000 in grow equipment. If this guy is hiding behind his 'card' as a defense for a huge grow, he is just giving the rest of us a bad name.
                completed 7 grows
                what I have learned so far:
                environment maters more than nutrients
                at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
                effective flushing before harvest is critical to quality
