Why yoop quit growing outside huh ? Cause UPSET came to visit me. On a quiet August 22,2012 afternoon, as my wife was making lunch, we heard and noticed a helicopter circling over the marsh across the road. Looked at it and thought that by the graphics it was a civilian one. Next thing I know, it`s flying by on the south side of my house. As I watched it leave, it made a turn around and started circling my house. So I sat down on my porch, put my feet up on the railing and through binoculars watched them watching me. Oh, did I mention that there was a nice flowering female on either side of me ? Sorry about neglecting that tidbit of info. Back to the story. Next thing I know, here comes 5 vehicles flying up my driveway. A guy in camo fatigues, with a flack jacket on and pistol drawn, jumps out each side of each vehicle. The guy from the first truck says, I`m Sgt. so and so of the Michigan State Police, do you have a Medical Marijuana Card ? Why, yes I do, let me get it for you. I show him and he says they have to be in an enclosed space. I say, Thought that not being visible from the property line was OK. He said, yeah that and being enclosed. He had his worker bees pull my babies outta their pots. The 2 on the porch and the 4 along side the garage. Then he asked if I had anymore. Only my 6 clones in the garage window. They had just recovered from the cloning ordeal. They took them too and looked over my 6 acres for more. None to be found. At my 12 plant limit, so I was OK that way. This Sgt, explained to me various ways that I could have a legal grow. He was very professional and courteous through out the encounter. I did get upset and said so. His reply was that he could`ve tossed my whole house and garage. No, no that`s not necessary. OK, then he says that he will turn his report over to the Prosecuting Attorney and it`s up to him for any further action. One benefit of living in a small community, he works by himself and was involved with a murder case from another county that was dropped into his lap. Too bad, so sad, cause I have NOT heard another word about it in 3 years now. Lucky me for sure. Peace and great growin`.
