HOWS ABOUT WE JUST LEGALIZE MARIJUANA SO PEOPLE DONT BURN THEIR HOUSES DOWN

Bwahahahahaha

Doh

Can also be bitcoin mining.... ????
bartholemews1000hats
If this happened in Canada neither the police nor anyone else would give a shit.
FourWindBadger
I would enjoy adding a lot of heated tupes to the roof and sit and wait for the police
morgan0073
Grow in the basement. And grow in dirt, don't go hydro unless you really know your shit.

Drugs have won the war on drugs! Gold medal to weed!
intashu
They caught on to my bitcoin mining rig!
Noevilgifs
I knew I should not have bought that antminer!
DiracsDelta
I had to House my in laws cats for a while in the garage. Heater made roof super suspicious. Was so paranoid that I’d get kicked out.
IamMom
Note: insulate your roof above your grow op!
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
Well, according to the Beverly Hills Cop theme, then the heat is on, but its on the streets. Hmmm, food for thought indeed, or something
clumsiii
aninvisiblemaniac
congrats guys you busted yet another marijuana farmer. wow so glad they're off the streets
Renuvian
Fucking snitching ass snow.
TehGuard
Not drugs, mining rigs
kristofferactive
Could be mining Bitcoin
dickbutttt
oh no not the marijuanas thats legal now in multiple states
Scythrael
The power draw would be a clue as well. Likely.

My neighbors in my apt complex place the heat so much, I don’t even need to heat my unit. I usually have the window open.
Mlemgamer
Same. So much heat.
SmallHandsBigPenis
I lived on the 8th floor, my apt was so hot I had to have the windows cracked all winter.
paranoidx89
My downstairs neighbors use the fireplace when is 40f out in TEXAS. Open the door to the smell of burning wood, whole complex can smell it..
buddbilly
That and poor insulation.
Sprinkleton
Yeah pur house often looks like that cause it's really old and the insulation in the attic is virtually non-existent
Duros62
Legal side of imgur, would that be enough for probable cause?
BigBadBillyBoy
That takes a lot of heat, but there are other explanations that don’t require illegal activity. It probably just got them to pay attention.
KyleBeach
The only thing beyond that would maybe be that so much heat could possibly be a fire hazard, giving the landlord the right to entry to
KyleBeach
inspect what's going on, and if the cops are the ones watching and notify, the landlord could easily ask for a police escort if the growers
KyleBeach
had a past history of violence, aggression, etc.
scuba7jb
1 of x. I have a big aquarium full of live plants, i asked in a forum if the cops could raid me just based on my electric bill. The answer
scuba7jb
was, no. While that might put you on the radar screen, they need additional evidence and a judge has to issue a search warrant. Don't worry
Promethianfire
Oh no. Marijuana.
flamingflamingo
Right? I was thinking, alright, they busted a meth lab! Oh... no... it was weed. Well.
DubZOmbJonah
Not the giggle bush, what heathens
Bibulus
Electric lettuce used to be my favorite marijuana euphemism, but giggle bush definitely takes the cake
TinyFrog
Illegal big plantations are rightfully illegal. They often come with large hazards to one's health and have a high chance of causing fires.
FriskyFoxie
All the more reason to make them legal and set up some proper safety regulations.
FutureFriedman
Because some people are morons at growing marihuana, that's why it should be legal to grow marihuana?
Promethianfire
You can regulate a legal thing. Also there's no need to hide it in risky ways.
flamingflamingo
Which is why green houses and private gardens are highly illegal.
FutureFriedman
I didn't know greenhouses and gardens were inside the house.
flamingflamingo
They usually aren't, since they aren't illegal. If growing marijuana was legal, this might not be indoors. But there are indoor gardens.
GreatestPossibleBeing
Why don't those stupid fucks paint their roof white?
morelikeconsham
Because they don't own the building
imgurschmimgur
Cause then when it's not snowing they will stand out!
MynameisRuben
Paint them back to the original color then! I think if you are making enough money with the weed business you can afford the labor.
imgurschmimgur
I think the police would notice ppl painting all the time! I think they should invent hot snow and then put it on the roof
flamingflamingo
God I love it when people take one glance at a thing and are like "these guys are fucking IDIOTS i could do this WAY better".
DreadZeppelin
That happens so often here in The Netherlands that the police have special drones if I'm not mistaken.
Badsequence
So I should market and sell heat resistant fake snow for all the dope growers to put on their roofs during the winter?
Bestfuckingcommentever
frantic99
Hold on, you're saying that where mj is legal, problem of illegal drug traffic still persists?
Kargathia
Growing personal amounts is legal. Re-purposing your entire attic is not.
cheeseisbea
Mj isn’t legal in the netherlands. It’s tolerated in large cities. Where i live you can’t smoke outside without getting in trouble
gzik66
This is funny, it seems that while selling and smoking pot is OK, still farming is illegal.
FutureFriedman
Why is that funny? There's a difference between growing few plants for personal use, and growing for selling/distributing.
Mezamete
Now it's just another crypto farming setup.

RackhamTheRed
did they manage to catch bitcoin miners?
LuxVertas
Yes, and dozens of GPUs and Processors were free to a good home
RackhamTheRed
say no to gpu slave labour
arachnoides
Why in the Netherlands where weed is legal??
Skizmo
stealing power to grow weed isn't legal.
Braytac
It is not legal to grow it yourself (although up to 3-5 plants grown for personal use is condoned)
FutureFriedman
1 plant for own use =/= many plants with intention of selling.
djie
Can confirm. Busted my ass many times.

Snarknado4
Isn’t it legal there? Are police just making sure noone’s undercutting the approved producers?
Branahauk
There are no approved producers. Its technically illegal, only condoned. Only recently some dutch municipalities started experimenting w/
Branahauk
Approved producers, finally! Would be nice to take it out of illegality and tax it. Also maybe regulate the crazy thc percentages
amsterdam1981
We're only allowed to grow it in small amounts. For private use.
Sapotaattori
Peoples lives are ruined by some bullshit laws there. If you rent place unknowingly to a criminal grower. It's your head on the block.
DrunkGermanGuy
It's a weird and illogical situation. Small amounts are tolerated, so are coffeeshops, but the shops have to get their product from illegal
DrunkGermanGuy
sources because there are no approved producers for recreational marijuana. Colarado etc. actually have a much better system than NL
thisistheinternetimheretotellliesandarguewithstrangers
Strange they have not fixed this after all these years.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Yeah, they stopped the cops from checking houses with thermals here as a privacy violation...
ThaiMaiShu
Which is absolutely absurd to me, checking the outside of houses with a thermal shouldn't violate any privacy
ThailandExpress
Supreme Court Rules on Police Using Infrared http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=93127&page=1
whitter86
The cops shouldn't be able to assume any crime. They should have absolute proof. Otherwise innocent people get hurt.
whitter86
It violates privacy because they can obtain a warrant (no knock in America) and possibly kill someone who hasn't committed a crime.
Steffn
Checking the outside is one thing, jumping to conclusion and examine a house because of that another.
torokunai
read the majority opinion here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/99-8508.ZO.html to see if Scalia's argument changes your mind at all
whitter86
Do you see how that could get out of hand?
digitalist1
Hey it's absolutely absurd weed is still illegal in many parts of the world despite having less detrimental effects to society than alchohol
akroe
Big difference between (il)legal use and (il)legal growing and selling
digitalist1
I don't really think there's s difference. Weed is a natural plant, it occurs in nature, so why am I not allowed to grow this one plant?
digitalist1
Nature's doin some illegal shit bro.
digitalist1
Ya, I mean growing weed isn't that profitable, compared to say meth, cocaine, heroin ECT. Could be making a lot more money doing other shit
whitter86
People have already been killed with no knock warrants because they went to the wrong address.
Sapotaattori
in what country.

USA. Happens a fair bit. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/03/18/us/forced-entry-warrant-drug-raid.html
ouroborus777
Except they aren't checking the outside of the house. A sensitive enough thermal camera is a lot like rainbow x-ray vision.
ThaiMaiShu
No it's not, the house gives off heat on its own that obscures a signal. Source: I'm in the military and vehicle windshields look opaque 1/2
ThaiMaiShu
because they are heated up so the thermal can't see through it. 2/2
Sapotaattori
source? I have never seen footage or heard from thermal cam that can see trough material.
whitter86
What if you are growing vegetables? Thats not unheard of. Then one day the cops are at your door seizing your spinach.
throwiewayay
Im guessing they will back off once they notice its spinach.

bippityboppitybuttsex
So, if I have technology that can scan you from afar to determine if you are carrying drugs, can I use it and send you to prison?
PrincesssButtercup
If the drugs are illegal and potentially dangerous, why not?
bippityboppitybuttsex
Can I scan you? Whenever I want?
FutureFriedman
Of course. You're breaking the law.
bippityboppitybuttsex
So, civil liberties are suspended if I suspect you might be breaking the law?
steve77777777
see if you had said "...and use it willy nilly" instead of an actually good and proper use then we might've agreed with you.
bippityboppitybuttsex
What is the 'good and proper use' here?
ThatIsMyPassword
They do use it willy nilly. That's how they find out. If it wasn't ruled unconstitutional cops would 100% drive around with imaging cameras.
NateintheNorth
Yes?
bippityboppitybuttsex
Wow. Can I spy into your window to see what you are doing in your house?
cr89o
What if half the time it's drugs and half the time it's not but you don't know until privacy has been violated? 2 out of 5? 1 out of 10?
CelestialApollo
Lol absolutely. If you want a drug legalized then try and get it legalized if it is really bad and they say no then maybe don't do drugs?
reFre5h
You have a moral obligation to oppose unjust law.
storebrandproductmascot
What if it's less dangerous than alcohol and they still say no because they're corrupt?
RackhamTheRed
you think they'd have started legalizing cannabis in the us if not for decades of illegal "testing for bad side effects"?
RackhamTheRed
you don't scan people but buildings. you won't even be able to see through window glass with that kind of optic
eldarriath
But raiding a house based on thermal signatures is a shit reason. Maybe they like having it 50C inside
malbec
You mean like drug sniffing dogs at the airport?
bippityboppitybuttsex
You consent to search by entering the airport. Just like you consent to breathalyzer by getting a drivers license.
chitterbug
I feel like the issue is more one of location. Out one is your property and the other is a public or -someone else's- privately owned space
BenjamanFranklin
Or you could just not be taints and make it legal. Huge waste of money with the "war on drugs"
Bestfuckingcommentever
Any year now.... so close!!!
Adam821
I would like to congratulate drugs on winning the war on drugs.
RandomBanana9
The thing is that if you made drugs legal the dealers couldnt sell them for as much money. The dealers would stop selling drugs because 1/2
RandomBanana9
2/2 it wouldnt get them much money
Redandpurpleunicorns
That's only a problem for the dealers.
wildatheart499
And who do you think they have to pay... drug cartels, mobs pretty much every thug group under the sun.
NobodyReally3
Or make a death penalty for posessing or having anything to do with any drugs.
NobodyReally3
I'm not even going to read these replies. Just wanted to see how many downvotes it'd get
RunemHectosin
Congratulations, you've killed pretty much everyone alive because medicines are also drugs.
Ailin87
Or how about not being such an aggressively uptight cunt?
PewPewBulletBulletGun
I've been to Sri Lanka, they have the death penalty for possessing and dealing, I've been offered cocaine, heroin, weed 1/2
PewPewBulletBulletGun
shrooms, even something I've never heard off, so yeah tell me how the death penalty works 2/2
guntbagmunkball
Well, that's the most retarded thing I heard all day.
Dionysus187
How about we lock away dangerous sociopaths who think murder is a good solution for drug addiction?
WildBluntHickok
Actually this post is about non-addictive drugs. Not sure if his rant was though.
Bizarkly
Because freedom is BAD, amirite?
darkdragonempress
In olden times pick pocketing could get you the death sentence. At public hangings pick pockets worked the crowds. So just slapping a 1
darkdragonempress
Death sentence on everything doesn't fix anything. 2
wildatheart499
Sounds good should we follow that up with death for smoking Tobacco, drinking alcohol?
Rengii
Alcohol and tobacco are drugs.
Stoneflowers33
So quick to kill. Smh
WildBluntHickok
Does that include alcohol and coffee? What about licorice? What about songs you like, since they're just as "addictive" as pot?
RowanExton
Dude you better be joking
Agouti
The "war on drugs" has actually not cost the USA a dime - civil forfeiture has made it a profitable exercise.
RoodKontjeAapje
Okay now things are starting to make sense...

legitchrispratt
YEAH. LEGALIZE METH
legitchrispratt
Jfc take a joke imgur I put it in all caps and everything.
wildatheart499
To be honest it's not like 90% of people couldn't find someone selling it as the gun lobby like to say banning shit doesn't work.
YourButtIsSpatulaShaped
I am honestly for legalizing meth and every other drug. I should be able to put whatever I want in my bloodstream. That's freedom.
Limnic
If you stay locked up in your house then fine. Please don't go on some sort of drug-fueled rampage in the public space.
YourButtIsSpatulaShaped
Trust me. Most drug addicts do a pretty good job of covering it up and blend in and contribute to society. Only a small few end up like that
CoffinFullOfPudding
No. Decriminalize it and treat addiction as a mental illness
whatupmyknitters
i work in rehab and officially we don't take anyone with a mental illness. which makes all us therapists go
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
That is kinda scary!
whatupmyknitters
yeah it's ridiculous to think you can separate mental illness from SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER which is an actual disorder in the DSM 5.
whitevfute
Totally
semirelatedcomments
Would you decriminalize making and distribution of meth to?
Bibulus
Decriminalization means that production and trade are still illegal, but you won't be sent to prison for using
BALKatalo
Aren’t legalizing and decriminalizing the same thing?
KaminaShiroe
Guys stop down voting the dude just doesn't know.
Nefel
Decriminalising it means not getting fucked by the long dick of the law. Legalizing it is paving a way for it to become a commercial good.
Johnnykararte
Decriminalization means you'll more likely get a fine or citation instead of arrested.
ZeeBraunee
No
TristanBomb
Good question! The answer is no. Legalization means it can be traded on the "white" market. Decriminalization means that trading the drug >
TristanBomb
is still illegal, but you won't get sent to prison for using it; maybe a fine or community service.

Why are people downvoting this poor person for asking an honest question? Can't stand that
