If you grow (anything) or are thinking of growing, be advised: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!
Ever since the late 70s, local law enforcement communities have been equipped with aerial spectral imaging systems that allow helicopters not only to take photos, but select particular photos based upon the color of light emission from specific vegetation.
Sunlight reflected off the leaves of a pot plant will emit a unique color on a spectral imaging screen. The chopper need only fly over your crop to determine the location & quantity of your prospective harvest.
Astronomers use the same technology to determine the chemical composition of stars, and their distance from our own galaxy.
Some states are even provided with extra funding (by way of federal tax dollars) to local law enforcement based upon how many plants they seize; eg. $1,000 per plant.
It’s a bureaucrats DREAM come TRUE!
So grow if you want, as much as you want, but just make sure you know how to watch your back!
