What to do if you stumble upon a pot farm while hiking
In 1986, the California Department of Fish and Game published a pamphlet, "Outdoor Alert," offering advice for this situation. The key takeaway was to say loudly, "I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO THIS, AND I'M LEAVING RIGHT NOW." Then to leave slowly and carefully. Now that marijuana is legal in most U.S. states, the situation is unlikely to happen, but I'm sure the same response would be appropriate any time one accidentally stumbles upon illegal activity.
