Yeah, it happened to me, I live in california I had my medicinal marijuana prescription. My mistake, happened years before I ever started smoking weed. I had a laptop when I was a young teenager...naturally the majority of the hard disk was filled with random porn that I had acquired from random sources. I ended up giving the laptop to my dad, after I had given up on computers. He took the laptop on a trip with him to Thailand, when he was coming back into the country he was searched by federal custom agents. My dad had a drug charge that he never told me about, he was on probation at the time and the customs agents searched him. The customs agents were specifically looking for kiddie porn, considering Thailand is the kiddie porn capitol of the world, it wasn't completely uncalled for. They started up the computer and started poking around, and they found one of my old random porno directories. Needless to say that you can rack up a lot of smut without knowing it randomly downloading porn, and that's what I did. They found one image that they suspected was kiddie porn, let my dad go, and proceeded to get a search warrant on our house.

My dad came home from his trip, and casually told me he had been searched at customs...but nothing more. Two days later, at 5 o'clock in the morning, our down was busted down and I woke up hearing "POLICE, SEARCH WARRANT." These were customs officers, hardly real cops, but still feds. They were quite gung-ho (I doubt they saw a lot of real action) and woke me up with a shotgun in my face, and another officer with a M-16 behind him. No joke, I have never been more afraid in my life than, after being handcuffed with my face in my pillow, looking up into the barrel of a shotgun. Only to be more horrified to see an officer sliding open the door to my grow room Sad At the time, I had very recently gotten over a broken knee (skating accident) and my grow was in shambles. I spent about two weeks on the first floor of our two floor house, unable to get upstairs to tend the plants. Needless to say, they all were dead. The cops thought that I was the worst weed grower in the world, and they let me know it. They were making jokes, and saying like "you know they have books on this" and what not.

The federal customs agents, called the local police to send a narcotic officer to deal with the drug charge. My favorite part of the whole ordeal was when one of the cops that interviewed me jokingly asked
"well you have a lot of marijuana up there, and you aren't a medical user...are you?" I smiled and said that I absolutely was (I was 18 at the time, and looked young, I am sure he was shocked at my lack of innocence) The local narc came and interviewed me, mainly to make sure my doctors prescription was legitimate, it was and he left...no charges! But, because the customs agents were feds, they considered my legal garden contraband, and confiscated all of my plants. This would have been devastating had my plants not already been dead, ultimately they just took care of some cleaning for me. But they broke one of my light bulbs, they just threw it around and scratched the shit out of it. I ended up sweet talking all of the officers as much as I could. I caught a bit of a break, one of them was an avid halo 2 player, as was I...and we hit it off talking about gaming. I told the officers that my dad was not a pervert and that it was my files that they had found. They confiscated every computer in the house, only to find nothing! No charges were pressed, and two of the cops came back to my house a few weeks later to personally apologize for the excessive force entering the room (i knew the shotgun was overkill) All in all, there was only one cop that was a real dick, he was rude the whole time, and the one who suggested confiscating my plants. The rest of them were pretty cool guys, I met them under the most undesirable circumstances...but I realized later that they really were good guys. They spend their days busting perverts, and I came to have a lot of respect for them because of it.

If total government control equals safety, why are prisons so dangerous?
