Ur "friend" better be real careful. Those arent myths. The national gaurd does fly overs as well with infa-red. But snitching is the number one thing to worry about also if they come to the house looking for someone they can look around. NOthing should ever be in plain sight. And yes if there are kids involved there would be complications with that as well. In my state any plants is a felony, up to 20 is 4 yrs then after that its 7yrs im not sure how far it goes, look up sentencing guidlines for marijuana in your state
