No, this DA is just trying make the law apply equally. These are the laws passed by the politicians you elected.

These are the laws you asked to be passed, if not directly, then indirectly by allowing the politicians that enacted them to take office.

Is it time to end the war on drugs?

Send your kids to 'Romper Room camp with Stoner Bob'.

I have "12 marijuana plants growing outdoors, seven plants growing indoors, more than a pound and a half of packaged marijuana in freezers in outbuildings, and about 33 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms", and I'm known as "the region's Bigfoot expert."

What could possibly go wrong?

[The DA] wrote that an average plant produces about one pound of processed marijuana and that each pound of marijuana yields about 908 joints.

More cop math. If pot plants yielded a pound each it might actually be worthwhile to grow them

No, I have consistently asked that these idiotic laws not be passed. And I didn't vote for those assholes in office either. So you just might want to use a smaller brush there, sparky.

Actually, the DA is just being an ass. There is no requirement that he seek forfeiture of the farm. He can prosecute the case for possession only. *He* may have a policy not to do that, but there is nothing in the law that requires him not to use discretion. So let's be clear: he feels it's important to implement *his* vision of the law equally.

If the report is right, the guy had enough pot that the DA couldn't look the other way. But taking the farm, that is just being a dickhead and he knows it.

/If he's such a scion to the community, let's see if the jury nullifies it.

So you were in the minority, and majority voted for the person who pushed for these laws.

The majority won.

I thought that was how democracy worked.

Jury nullification, anyone?

Give him life in prison! Just like that 10 DUI guy!
We don't need no stinking trial either, just put him in Gitmo.

YOU BREAK A LAW, YOU PAY THE PRICE!

This is a nation of LAWS. NO special treatment for damn hippies.

//We only give special treatment to the rich and celebrities.

And he did some math. He wrote that an average plant produces about one pound of processed marijuana

A pound per plant? I've never seen anyone get a pound of bud off a plant. Even if you threw in the leaves, it still wouldn't come near a pound per plant. Farking stupid cops.

This guy was a pillar in the community, he lived in a rural area with his dogs and never hurt anyone in his life. Now he's going to be busted as a drug dealer just because he grew some on his property. To top it off, they are going to take his property.

This war on pot bullshiat needs to stop.

I'm pretty sure that anyone who works with kids and has a positive demeanor has to be smoking pot.

Honestly look at Mr. Rogers and tell me that guy didn't smoke pot.

The Constitution has really been taking a beating lately, hasn't it?

Well, most of the men in vans have a positive demeanor. It's all the candy, I think.

It is my understanding that the mj plants will keep the bark beetles from killing his evergreens. So organic farming is now illegal?

And just what the hell is wrong with psycho mushrooms?

MonkeyBoy666: Money supports terrorism, therefore we should abolish money.

Now that I think about it, I actually agree with that sentiment.

I have an idea: if it can be proven that the government lied to convince the people to pass a law, then that law should become null and void.

I wonder how many people would support recall petitions against offensive public officials that do things like this?

If a community wants to honor and protect its citizens, it has to put its foot down occasionally and "just say no!"

If he is taken to trial, train citizens about jury nullification.

If they try to seize his lands, then take up a collection to buy them back at auction, with intent to return them to him.

But most of all, put pressure on elected officials to cut it out, or lose their jobs.

If my two plants actually had the yield the cops claim they would, I'd be a farking millionaire! But they don't.

Forfeiture laws are the bomb. No better way to make sure a person can not pay for a decent defense than to take their assets first.

Whatthefark: A pound per plant?

Define "plant".

Size-wise, a bean sprout and a redwood are both "plants". Doesn't cannibis grow over 8 feet?

no. That was 15-20 years ago. This is the time of "we should have ended the war on drugs 15 to 20 years ago"

Representative Republic: Everybody arguing and trying to usurp authority and perpetual gridlock so that the basic foundation which is great never actually gets changed.

If we had kept to that we wouldn't have a drug war sucking billions of dollar a year while being a complete failure and basically a gigantic excuse to piss on the Constitution.

A pound per plant over how much time? How long does a pot plant live and does it seasonally produce the seeds? They say that one plant produces over 900 joints... How freakin' big are these plants?!

I hate the drug war.

And I did not vote these laws into place.

Disapprove

Sucked Ass

real shaman: The SCOTUS has upheld property forfeiture laws relating to illegal activity.

And they were dead wrong. And any DA using those laws, unless he's forced to do so, is perpetrating a grievous crime. And he's just, you know, a dick.

copper1861: Jury nullification, anyone?

That might get the guy out of a jail term, but property seizure isn't subjected to jury trial (as far as I know). Basically, the DA files the right papers, says the right things to the right court and then they take your property away from you. In some places, the seizure laws don't even require criminal conviction - they cops just have to say that they MIGHT BELIEVE that the property was involved in 'illegal drug use' and that fits the requirements of the legislation.

And no, I am not joking. Nor am I exaggerating. The property seizure laws in this country are grossly unfair and easily abused. But because they only happen to 'the bad people' society dosen't complain.

we really are just one bad traffic stop or misunderstood conversation away from losing our house or car to an overzealous cop or DA.

end the drug war

alcoda: We don'tlive in a democracy. It's a republic.

Democracy:
1 a: government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections

Sounds right to me.

Not 900 joints, not 910 joints, 908 joints.
