I think anyone who grows high price items like this will have a natural worry of poachers, that's a reality of this type of 'farming'. However, trail cameras and seclusion help. We know other growers that have shot at poachers catching them in the act and that seemed to stop the action for a while (not killing them of course!). With the reality of it comes the risk. We probably make ourselves more vulnerable than others as we are the only ones in our community actively cultivating it AND trying to educate others on how to do it. Luckily not many people know what it looks like here and most of our planting grounds are NOT on our property (and quite secluded) so finding them would be quite difficult for anyone targeting us.
