Spotting Guerrilla Cannabis on Public Trails: The Ghost’s Field Notes

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Riverbank Guerrilla Grow That Outgrew the Brush

The Ghost has not lost his eye….

I take hikes to stay in shape…which is very helpful in continuing my work at Stony Oasis Farms. One of my favorite hikes is along the Columbia River…a river which has always impressed me. My pup Emma loves being close to the river as well.

Spotted on the Riverbank: Finding a Rogue Guerrilla Grow in the Wild

There is this spot along the river that I go to often, and I can see others go there too. It is a 96 degree day and I hiked down there for Emma to take a swim. I looked over up the river a ways, and I had to do a double take. There were cannabis plants growing right there. Sticking out like a sore thumb! I could see they were cannabis immediately…I had not been down that trail for a few weeks at least….and they had time to grow taller than the surrounding brush.

I have found many OPP (other peoples pot) plants in my day…maybe 30-40 guerrilla grows by other people…about 4 of them huge cartel grows….One active….needless to say, I got the heck out of there!

I have not found OPP in many years so this was a surprise.

They could be volunteers I suppose, but in my experience in this area that is highly unlikely. It looks like there are 3 or 4 plants in the bunch.

I am not going to do anything more but watch what happens to them. I am not going over there, not going to mess with them at all.

As I hiked away I got to thinking how could I share this experience with you, my customers. I mean I do not think there are many people at all these days growing out and about…guerrilla style. Here in Washington state cannabis is really pretty inexpensive in the rec shops.

So I have come up with the idea I will create some kind of contest with this find. But, I wonder what kind of contest would work, would be fun for you guys. Then I got the idea…let’s have a contest to come up with the best contest!

So that is what we will do….think of a contest that will work for this OPP (other people’s pot) find. It cannot be harvest size or anything like that as I will not mess with them…unless no one else ever does.

Maybe a ‘how tall will they get contest’ (they are a full 2 feet above the brush now) or a ‘will they flower and finish’ contest.

You tell me…in a comment below…lets see what you can come up with…

I am only going to let this go on for a week or so….as the season is getting short. Give me those contest ideas…oh too you can do more than one…but don’t get crazy and list 20…pick the best two or so…

For this contest, and all contest on JCS the normal contest rules apply.

The prize is two triple orders of two of my best selling strains for free with your next order.

Good luck
