Marijuana "Grow Houses" On The Network Evening News

The increased use of single family dwellings being used as marijuana "grow houses" was featured on both the NBC and ABC evening news last Thursday. When considered in the context of the current real estate market that's flooded with desperate home sellers (many of whom having little, no, or negative equity in their properties) looking to unload the homes (many of whom who may be "ripe" for an offer to rent the place for an amount sufficient to cover the payments on an "exploding" subprime mortgage as a way of avoiding foreclosure), don't be surprised if there's an indoor pot farm "coming soon to a neighborhood near you."

To read about the rise and fall of Mitchell Shane Estep, a former Central Florida indoor pot farming entrepreneur, who went around renting dozens of single family homes in upper middle class neighborhoods from landlords (he preferred gated commmunities) and setting up an indoor marijuana farm, or grow house, in each home, becoming a marijuana mogul in the process by the age of twenty five, see Suburbs the new hot spot for pot growers, reported by The Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Landlord-tenant pot farming litigation involving a raid by Federal agents of a rental home even recently made it onto the TV show, The People's Court (no longer available online).
