I am currently pursuing the purchase of a new home and have been informed that it was previously used as a pot growing operation.

They caution me about the purchase as they are concerned about THC spores in the house. They are unable to give me any documentation on the effects of living in a home previously used for this purpose and I can't find any info online regarding this subject. They say they can't "give away" a growing house.

Do you have any information you can share with me regarding any health issues I should be concerned about. They're really making a big deal about it so I'm assuming it IS a big deal. They just can't prove that it's a big deal.

Thanks for any info or websites you can suggest.

Kindly,
Anonymous Visitor

There's no such thing as a "THC spore."

Perhaps you're thinking of mold in general?

what about the potential health hazzards assosiciated with moving into a home once used for a grow up?

I can see Mold in general being one concern as humidity and water are ingredients to producing quality Marijuana.

Would there even be any negative aspects to moving into a house once used to grow Marijuana?

I can't imagine there would be any negative aspects. After all, growing weed (apart from the high powered lights) isn't much different han growing any other houseplant.

As for mold, it's everywhere anyway, but if one cleaned the house sufficiently any mold left hanging around would probably go away rather quickly, I would think.

Sounds related to buying a house with a greenhouse. I wonder if greenhouses contribute significantly to mold.

If they can't "give it away", send them my way! I'll give them a dollar for it, they should be ecstatic! Maybe after I move in those spores will develop into more fully grown plants for me. /snicker

I can't think of a single reason that prior use of a house for growing weed would have any affect on the present. Mold is possible I suppose, but lots of houses have mold that weren't grow houses, and there are ways to deal with it -- if it isn't severe, a few sprayings of bleach will take care of it completely. But I really don't think a grow up would increase the risks of mold all that much, unless it was built by someone that didn't know what they were doing and let water leak all over the place or something.

Most people that I know that grow their own weed are METICULOUS about their grow ops. They live, breathe, dream (and of course smoke) their operation. I would jump on the opportunity to buy a grow house, knowing that I could probably get it for way less than it's worth.

If I were them, I would inspect for mold or water damage and if negative, buy it.

Those are the only two things that spring to mind.

"THC spores".

It does sound like a nice bargaining point.

"You mean they grew Marijuana here?"... "I don't approve of drug use, what do you think?"... "How much did you say this was listed for?"... "I don't want to live in a crack house"... "Meybe if the price was right"...

OMFG has sanity lost all rationality and imbeciles rule our earth? Oh wait if I can't answer myself in 0.5 seconds I would be an imbecile too ~laughs~.

There has been some new laws passed at the federal level constituted because of Meth addicts. Lawsuits started popping out of the wood work when someone got sick in a house and then they found out it could be the volatile chemicals in the meth(use to work on a meth lab for 4yrs.). This too is probably total bull**** as I have seen people endure several hours at a time for years at a time with no physically or mentally percievable affects (aside from normal sleep deprivated behavior associated with speed). It is just another frivolous lawsuit based on the crazed media's disillusional rhetoeric and fear they love to create in the name of "knowledge" ~chuckles~. People need to buy stuff to feel safe ~chuckles~.

My brothers and sisters. We are too see very strange things happen to our world as we know it in the next 7.5yrs. Strap yourselves in yo! ~grins~

THC spores? That's a new one on me.

Sounds more to me like someone whose brother-in-law owns a mold removal business and will give you a "special rate".


Personally, about the only thing I'd be worried about is some of the half-azzed amateur electric work rigged up that I've seen in some houses. Of course that's not limited to just grow houses either.
