If I had 13 pounds of it, I wouldn't need to grow any for a while. On the other hand, it's Florida. You could throw the seeds in the yard and it would take off like kudzu.

His mistake was in selling it. Pro-tip: Yeah, you know.

Since it's the Keys, yeah, I'd believe he found it.

Seems to me the real problem here is a couple of nosy neighbors.

Well what happened to the 22 lbs. I left on that 18 mile stretch?

What about the 130k in cash? Street value being what it is.

I think I found that 90k in cash laying around over here...

Great documentary. CNBC's "marijuana inc". Viewable at hulu (free). To think what it would do for the economy is staggering..and amazing what the legal system will do to keep it illegal..

I still think it's amazing that a plant, a part of nature, can be illegal.

Yay Pot thread!...Let's get it on!

I love Christians who find pot to be sinful, wasn't God the one who put it here?

Like no parishioners of this place smoke weed, right?



Pole maybe, but not weed.

Pole maybe, but not weed.

I sir find that incredibly offensive!! Oh not really, Good show, Good show! Rock on.

SirLothar: Yay Pot thread!...Let's get it on!

Actually, there are two variants of the pot thread:

1) Guy does something incredibly stupid involving pot, leading to incarceration.
2) Draconian anti-drug laws royally screw over an otherwise upstanding citizen / innocent bystander; public statement for/against current drug policy.

The #1 threads, which this thread just happens to be, are usually a 50/50 mix of "pot should be legal, man" posts and "wow, that guy was a dumbass" posts, with occasional nuggets of authoritarian apologeticism trollposts.

SirLothar: Well what happened to the 22 lbs. I left on that 18 mile stretch?

Well of course they turned that 15lbs in to the evidence locker.

GDubDub: SirLothar: Well what happened to the 22 lbs. I left on that 18 mile stretch?

On the ticket I do see the 11 lbs went right into evidence.

Came here to say this. The school drug-free zones at least sort of make sense, but churches? *Cue Burger King "where is your god now?"*

jdmac: I love Christians who find pot to be sinful, wasn't God the one who put it here?

God would never let something as sinful as Marij*ana grow. It warps the natural perception of reality and makes the absurd seem possible.
This is the work of Satan and athiests. People forget what is truly important. So no, God did not put marijua*a there, and just by thinking that, you sin.

Here's my tiny bit of original content:

Whatever happened with Obama's Citizens Briefing Book? Did that just drop down the ol' memory hole? Because if my subversive anti-American memory serves me right, legalization of marijuana was the #1 issue by a significant margin. Jan 21 came and went, and change.gov said a lot of high and lofty things, but I've never heard another thing about it. Was it actually produced? Did the legalization issue get swept under the rug, or is it front and center on page #1 as the numbers indicate it should be?

Just how easily do marijuana plants grow? What would happen if you took a ton of seeds and just spread them all over a city in the springtime?...

I'm stobned.

Do not attempt this at home. Odds are you'll really tick off serious growers with uncontrolled spread of pollen.

It's not the kind of thing you go forward with in the first 56 days. By the way, Obama's only been in office 56 days, and so far he's said it's up to the states.

xenomech:
Cannabis seeds are probably the most nutritious seed there are. One of the exemptions for them was in birdseed, cause birds with high metabolic rates really benefit from them. Birds also like them for their light oil. Feathers need oil in order to function, all things being equal, a light oil is obviously better. Squirrels like them, mice like them. So just dumping them on the ground will be around 10% efficient at best, if some fall into cracks, depending when rain could be expected. Now if they could be inserted into the soil a quarter-inch deep, they would still have to worry about bunnies for the first few weeks of their lives, and weed-addicted deer in later life, but, maybe a 50% efficiency could be achieved.

I'm not expecting him to wave a magic wand and legalize pot. I expect his administration to follow through on what they said they were going to do, even if they don't like the results. I want it on paper, in writing, placed in the president's hands: as stated by your electorate, legalization is the single most pressing issue facing our nation today.

Well, I'm on the interwebs all the damn time (regretfully) and I've noticed that the Marijuana issue has been absolutely dominating if not mainstream media, then several blogs and online news sites.

I'm totally sober and I think we could really be reaching some kind of tipping point. Obama will have to either look the other way while California pushes to legalization (the Amaniano bill will fail, but it will draw us closer) or he will have to lay the smack down in order to appease the beltway.

The strange thing is that the public is getting more and more brazen about how they don't see cannabis as a taboo indulgence anymore.

It's really not on the same field as Crack, which it was back in the Nancy Reagan days after so many efforts to lump all illicit street "drugs" together.

BO did order the DEA to desist from raiding Cali med pot dispensaries. The deal seems to be that if enough state legislatures sign off on medical pot, he will seal the deal nationally through executive order, I've heard.

FBI's annual Uniform Crime Report:

Police in 2007 arrested over 872,000 US citizens for weed.

That figure is a five percent increase over the total number of Americans busted in 2006.

It's more than three times the number of citizens charged with pot violations sixteen years ago.

Of those arrested in 2007, 89 percent - some 775,000 Americans -- were charged with simple pot possession, not trafficking, cultivation, or sale.

Three out of four were under age 30; one in four were 18 years old or younger.

The FBI's tally is the highest marijuana arrest total ever reported in law enforcement history.

If this pace continues, annual arrests for pot will surpass one million per year by 2010.

Well, that's the tough thing about Cannabis. You can't grow percosets in your backyard, and still, prescription drugs are a major problem on the black market.

Medical Marijuana will force the legal system to acknowledge that the plant is not pure, unadulterated evil bent upon ruining lives, with no medical benefit.

Police say they obtained a warrant to search the house based on a neighbor's complaint about "an increasing amount of short-stay and come-and-go traffic at all hours of the night."

What? They got a warrant based on that?

What were those quotes someone posted the other day? Bill Clinton said, "I didn't like it, and I didn't inhale" and Obama said "I inhaled frequently....that was the point."

We all know Clinton was lying, but that's not the point. the point is that he didn't think he could get away with admitting that he smoked weed, and Obama knows that he can say he smoked it with impunity. That's how much attitudes have changed in just a few years.

i would love to see weed gettin legalized but i don't see it happening in my lifetime.

Oh, and I'll also add that once medical MJ is available, it will be rapidly abused and doctors will hand out prescriptions for "acute artistry" and "sheer boredom."

Crown_of_Shoes:

Percocets contain Acetaminophen, the nastiest molecule this side of Fentanyl. Boy, if big pharma is so smart, how come they often produce such ship drox? The idea behind the Acetaminophen is that if you start enjoying the Percocets, your liver will start to feel like you have been punched there by Mr. T. This is from the liver damage, brilliant! I suggest ordering some poppy seeds from EBAY or somewhere, planting them, (rotate your crops) making tea from the pods, drink the tea, and pretend that you have taken Percocet.
This is digression. Of course, you are right. By claiming cannabis has no legit med use, it can be on the extreme of scheduling. Even a little cocaine free base is used 'legitimately' in analgesic topical ointments, mixed with oily stuff. I don't think that a substance can be evil, but I know what you mean. If I were going to assign evil to meds, I'd list Acetaminophen, Phencyclidine, ethyl chloro vinyl, and Fentynal and, maybe Ketamine HCl, probably.

B-b-b-b-but teh uppity darkies will raep white wimminz if marijuana is legalized!!!1!

I turned 49 a little while back. Two benefits of this, besides the really cool square of a prime thing, is that my hormones have altered a little to where I no longer get the really intense weed Jones, and women figure from my grey beard (featured on 4chan 3/8) that I have already cycled through the s___ they may have on offer and either jump me or ignore me. Still fun to puff one up, 'though!

Most prosecutors could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Getting a search warrant is probably even easier. If you make any mods to your circumstance, thread 'em up clean the first time. Let's say that that shed in your backyard roof's turns transparent suddenly one evening. First, flood it with ficus so that if the raiders (poss. disguised as zoning boys) arrive, they get stiffed. They won't keep it up, in all likelihood, 'cause sooner or later it's harassment. If one plans on retailing, he should open something like a small art gallery.
