>>2463655>How dangerous is it to come across illegal weed plantations in the woods when you're /out/?As others have said, very. Most of the time, there will be no one there, unless it's large enough to always have a sentry (or multiple sentries) posted. If there is someone there, they will most probably be hidden, because when you're in an illegal cannabis plantation in the woods, being aware of approaching people is your top priority.
You must therefore assume that there is definitely someone there. Don't give a thumbs-up gesture, don't call out or speak words of solidarity ("Nice weed, brother!"), and for the love of Christ, don't snap a picture like in the OP. Aside from the obvious, mobile phones and other devices can automatically append GPS coordinates to the metadata of a picture when it's taken. Such a picture all by itself would be all the evidence the pigs would need.
Simply turn around nonchalantly ASAP, retrace your backtrail until the plantation is out of sight, and detour around like
>>2463661's friend wisely did. This is the clearest way to communicate that, as best you're able now that you've stumbled upon it, you aren't there to interfere or to spy.
