Is Big Brother monitoring my internet searches?

[Cheesy]

I don’t live in a state where cannabis is legal, but I have a couple of medical issues and would like to grow a couple of plants for personal use. I’ve been googling my brains out for the last couple of days, learning how to do it. Is my internet provider going to flag this and pass it on to the local police?

A little too paranoid without even starting. Don't you think your local police or Homeland security for that matter have better things to do? Just take a look at Portland Oregon today.

They don't care about a couple of plants bud. Information is legal, you can talk, search, and read up on everything cannabis. The only big brother monitoring you is Google so they can sell your data to advertisers. You're good man. You're good. Lol

Well, Big Brother monitors every form of communication world wide period, but they are not looking for what we do.

We are already constantly under surveillance, but like everyone else said, nothing to worry about.

I used to be afraid of that as well. Now i make posts that
say, "Look everyone! I've harvested 9.6 lbs in 3 years!" 🤣🤣

In 10 oz increments of course. Never any more than that NSA! I swear 🤣

That reminds me of Brad paisley's song 🤣🤣

I lost all my weed AND my guns in a tragic boating accident. If I didn't have bad luck I'd have none at all!

"I lost all my weed in a series of small fires" Ha. Same thing happened to a bunch of things that I used to own. Maybe I should get some smoke detectors. Boating accident...

You can get a VPN (virtual private network) if it will make you feel more secure.

If you really want to be stealth, boot up Kali Linux and utilize the open OS. That'll get ya going

But be sure to run it from the live disk, no hacker can touch any Linux live disk!

I too, live in a prohibitive state. My Sheriff's booking website is full of people who have been charged with pot offenses. I haven't heard, read or seen any raids of small potatoes growers like us. They're usually grouped with other offenses related to to driving. I live by the mantra - No tell, no sell. I love the aroma of cannabis, so there is the aroma in my abode...

[Ckbrew]

Speaking of aroma, I to love the aroma of growing cannabis. But since the application of neem, it kind of smells like the ocean, like the stink in the mud.

That's one reason I prefer coco-perlite. Keeps the critters down.

If you’re growing for personal consumption I’m not sure anyone cares....governments are most concerned with larger scale for profit grows...if your trying to profit without proper licensing, well, karma’s a bitch!!

Hi Cheesy i was like you once very nervous about posting and sharing photos of weed. I live in a legal state but i worked for the federal govt. in a hospital so i was scared. This site has been safe but know you limits and abilities with doing a grow. No i don't believe cops give a doo doo about small personnel use grows. I did 1 plant a photo period just got to not tell folks that you know because they talk and do you have a land lord? I have always had my own home to grow at not rental.

Everything you do on the net is recorded and archived. Accept it. It only becomes an issue if someone decides that they have a reason to go look at the archives and they have a nefarious motive or some agenda. Choose your words carefully to just express your opinions and avoid certain words.

Even the shit you delete.

That is true. However, with the sheer volume of data, finding what they're looking for could be daunting. It's ALWAYS a good idea to keep in mind that what you post will never be confidential.
