Had to come out of lurk to say THAT IS AWESOME. I mean besides the fact that it's illegal, that's an impressive grove of plants lol. Automated too? Wow.

Holy crap. This thread was "meh" until I just saw that picture. Uh... yeah that's a fairly serious grow op there. Hmmm... I say talk to them about it and get yourself a sweet hook-up. :D

edit: Okay, wait. I have to get this straight. Where is this going on? The bedroom of an apartment building? Or are your parents renting out part of the house? And why in the heck would those guys leave that unattended and give you permission to go in the house? I'm thinking the OP may have more to do with this than his story mentions. You better send me some of that crop or I'm reporting you, ric0chet :).

#1 Remove 90% of plants.
#2 Fake an electrical fire.
#3 Parents claim insurance on fire and get rid of hippies in one fell swoop. (And hippies big bad friends won't suspect it was you--electrical fires at grow ops are common, after all)
#4 Profit on the 90% you removed :Q:D

Kidding of course. Remove all plants.

j/k I'd make sure they don't have big bad friends before you do anything you'd regret (ie snitch). Hate to find out they were indebted or working for someone else lest they hurt you.

If you are worried about them and still want them gone (understandable) then perhaps say the electricity company called investigating high consumption or a million other things. Hippies usually aren't dangerous, but that much? I'd not go so easily to the police. People generally don't like having to go to prison.

Your parents are the owners? If so they have NO liability right now if they call the cops. However since you, part of the family are aware now, then they might have some liability if the police are not called.

Call your parents and call the cops (or let them call), let the cops clear the sh!t out, and get your parents off the hook.

This is a no-brainer, unless you want to let your parents get dragged thru a helluva lot of legal sh!t.


/edit: there might be an issue of legality about going into the rental property without their permission. perhaps you could say you smelled something and were concerned. and if you try for something from the renters, they most likely will leave and fvck the place up on the way out.

also: I second the shens.

Ya know, I'm all for legalization. But being that it's not, you really should tell your parents. Let it be up to them to inform the PD or not. If there ends up being a sting or something else, then your folks could get caught up in a legal sh!tstorm.

Honestly, score one for the high-side here, you know the legalization of this plant is ridiculous compared to what IS legal. So, long as things don't get out of hand, why bother?
Why bother? You must be joking.

Do you see an emoticon, lol, or "heh" anywhere? Yeah I'm serious, go ahead and give your advice instead of criticizing mine.
:D Fair enough, but I'm curious as to why you would give them a free ride?

WTF...do you always expect something in return for anything you do? It's called society.

Seriously, those saying keep a plant and turn them in are fvking hypocrites.

Unfortunately that's the situation. As soon as you became aware of what your tenants were doing your parents property became at risk for forfieture. You should definately tell your parents and let them decide. Posting this on the Internet wasn't to wise.

Also don't even think of trying to blackmail those tenants. We're talking about big money here and you could be putting your life at risk.

+1. You cemented the requirement to tell your parents by posting this on the Internet, since that establishes prior knowledge of the events. Tell your parents, sooner rather than later.

Yeah his advice is about as stupid as it gets. A lot of the Pot distribution is handled by unsavory characters, especially when it starts getting into significant money. The Hippie that sells you your pot isn't the person involved with the money. In some places Outlaw MC's are responsible for the distribution and you don't want to mess with them or you might end up missing.
