I always liked the idea of a note: “you are on camera and if you steal my weed I’m going to come looking for you where you live.”

Are you in the city or country? If the country you should be fine I’d think I grew 4 last year no issues and they were even visible from the road. The city Is a different story but really I guess it depends what your yard is like how far from road is it wide open? Stuff like that this year I’m in the city and didn’t put any out I am indoor instead but I have a idea for a few… describe the yard be way easier for suggestions

Guerrilla style deterrents are generally something like ft deep holes, ropes (not fishing line cause that’s horrible) at waist and head height spread tight, Brambles and bells and if you hide a light 50 - 100m away that can be seen from there and triggered from a sensor that freaks so out good but as a few said, out plant the assholes for every 1 you want you plant in 4 other locations.

I like the fence idea. Shock the piss out of someone trying to get to your plants. It’s not enough to actually hurt someone, but it will help get the point across. Bonus points if you run electrified barb wire.
The hill growers down south caught rattlesnakes. They cut their buttons off and tied them up around their sites. I thought that was alot more creative than the rat trap/ shotgun shell traps.

Get a license and do it legally. Then when they rip your plants know one has to be threatened. The cops get to do their job. And if you can identify the ripper even more evidence for police to find the guy.
What’s worse it could be kids. When I was 15 i jacked about 10 lbs. I went to jail after getting busted with one of the pounds. Parents found the rest once the cops notified them. They guys step son told me right where to find the weed. Inside job. I never stolen since. Maybe made some shady transactions but nothing underhanded like ripping people off. Karma is not always instant.

If you can’t do it legally then it really doesnt matter how you stop rippers in my mind.
Actually occupying the land via tent like some folks I used to know was the only sure fire way of stopping rippers. But your also on location when the choppers find your half a years work. Either way it’s dangerous to someone. Might as well make it dangerous to the rippers…

I forgot about this subject and since then I have talked to the state police around here.
Basically if I can catch someone stealing and thieving from me. I have every right around here to shoot them in there fucking face. And that’s what I’ll do…

Personally, I would try to avoid that, due to the mental health complications that would come with it, but thank God to have the option without legal ramifications. Some places they want to string you up for defending your property.
