The longest sentence you can get is 5-10 years (with 5 or more plants)

 

Depends on where you are.

For example, people lose their cars at the border all the time for carrying rolling papers but being out of tobacco - at that point, it's called trafficking in drug paraphernalia and you lose your car.

 

IronGoth I think your a tad paranoid man.... and how exactly are you suggesting they are scanning for marijuana plant frequencies? Plants are plants man, and i doubt such a small quantity of plants would ever be noticed(Even if the gov't was for some reason watching you."

 

I used to write GIS software, that kind of filter was something governments bought on a regular basis.

 

what sort of "frequencies" do plants give off then, and how do they differ from plant to plant?

 

what the fuck is this bullshit? the only sort of aerial scans the law agencies do is to see large concentrations of heat, specifically, from lighting systems. they generally don't even do these scans unless they have some other reason to believe you have a growing operation.

plants don't emit magic flashing lights. sorry.

 

if you were gonna grow it in you garden, you should have at least grown it in the tomato patch, so it's slightly less obvious.

 

Marijuana / Cannabis Detection

Plants also have discriminating spectral features which can lead to their detection in a background of other plants as shown at right. In this illustration, the ability of the SOC imagery technology is evident in detecting the presence of an illegal cannabis-type plant. This demonstration was recently organized and carried out by local law enforcement officers using SOC hyperspectral camera technology.

Spectral imaging
"Applications of hyperspectral imaging data can support a diverse range of scientific and business operations. Among these, HSI data offers enormous potential for routinely creating geologic and soil maps, monitoring forestry and vegetation changes, and documenting hazards and the aftermath of natural disasters. Specifically, the high definition of HSI has recently received popular media attention because of its use to help winegrowers harvest their crops with more precision. By identifying plant health and maturity, vintners can establish optimum harvest schedules that ultimately yield high quality wine. The same methodology holds true for using HSI data to non-destructively detect bruised fruit in large orchards, and also aid law enforcement officials in detecting marijuana plants from airborne platforms.

"New" Pot buster Camera

"Based on a Hyperspectral Sensor System, which ORINCON developed with Rancho Bernardo, Calif.-based Surface Optics Corporation, the new "pot-buster" camera can detect marijuana plants from an elevation of 5,000 feet, and from several hundred yards on the ground, against a backdrop of heavy vegetation. This sophisticated technology can even differentiate a marijuana plant from hemp, a similar, but legal plant used to make rope and clothing. This technology can also be used to detect environmental pollution. Preliminary tests indicate that the same techniques used for detecting local marijuana crops may also be appropriate for identifying coca, opium poppy fields, and various types of pollution, including oil spills and acid mine drainage. ORINCON plans to offer this technology through an imaging analysis service available to federal, state, and local government agencies around the world."

 

My plants were grown next to tomato plants and hot pepper plants; they were fairly well hidden.

 

Grouchy_Old_Dude wanna share your source for that information? No offense but some of you guys don't think very practicaly, Do you realize how much money it would cost to search the land for marijuana plants(Especialy from space) And that filter thing is BS.

 

grouchy old dude was saying the same thing, then he posted his next post without an explanation, so i dont know what his thinking is.

 

sorry, i got confused nevermind.

 

I dont quite understand how that imaging is able to detect poppy plants, cannabis plants, and pollution. that doesnt quite make sense.

 

I don't see how it is plausible to detect the minute differences in color spectrum between plants(Especialy sense they all use chloyophyl) Seems like a bunch of BS to me, but there is alotta fucken wierd BS on the net!

Here is one that I think is bullshit, www.psipog.net
They claim they have telepathy and telekineses and shit, and they have many articles written that can teach you these skills.
Total fucken bullshit
