Wth is 'processed' pot?
Dried?

Leave the stoners alone and go after meth houses, rapists, and corrupt officials.

For once, I actually do feel safer now that an alligator has been neutralized.

Oooooo...100g. That's barely enough to get the alligator high

It has been turned over to the Chicago Herpetological Society for safekeeping.

At first I wondered what a Republican think-tank would want with an alligator...

unless an alligator is starving or feels cornered it's probably not going to mess with a human.

Not that I'm going to prove that theory by getting too close to one or anything.

I would think several Rottweilers and an angry mouse would be more of a threat.

Maybe

That is the absolutely best ever name for a pet alligator. Bravo, Mr. Pothead Dude!

I once had a young crocodile as a pet. I dug a hole out in the garden about 2 or 3 feet deep with a basin of water in the middle to keep it in. One night, it rained really hard and when I got up in the morning, the pit was full of water and the crocodile was nowhere to be seen. Boy, the neighbors were pissed.

On the bright side, the neighborhood probably didn't have a problem with stray dogs for awhile after that.

Pot, gator found in Chicago-area house

was anybody else disappointed that the headline wasn't irreverently telling us that the gator had eaten him by the time the police got there?

that woulda been funnier...just sayin

Happy Hours: unless If an alligator is starving high or feels cornered it's probably definitely not going to mess with eat a human the dumbass keeping him around to guard his stash.

glad you straightened that out for me.

Except the alligator not only failed to eat its owner, it also failed to eat the police.

Goodfella: On the bright side, the neighborhood probably didn't have a problem with stray dogs for awhile after that.

I think he was a bit too small to eat dogs (there were plenty of other ways to deal with stray dogs, though). But he had super sharp little teeth, and desperately wanted to bite anyone he could see. Mean little bastard.

How big was the bathtub to comfortably fit a 5 foot alligator?

I think it's less illegal than keeping an alligator around the house.

I have (sadly) never been to Hawaii, but a friend of mine has and he said that the growers there use pigs for guards. I for one would not want 200 lbs of pissed off pork with razor teeth chasing me.

Another friend of mine in CA has had a medical marijuana license for years (he's HIV positive and it mitigates the appetite killing affect of his meds, pretty much saving his life). He grows his own (and when I retire and am no longer subject to random urinalysis, I plan on packing an overnight bag and celebrating with HIM). He's not the type to have a gun, and he can't afford a security system. He's concerned about neighborhood kids finding out he has pounds of kick ass skunk bud at his home; I told him he must adopt a dog, even a small dog. Fantastic security system. Bad guys don't like dogs and would rather hurt a person than a dog many times (wisdom imparted to me from numerous law enforcement types I worked with). I have five dogs, four big ones and one little rat terrier. The ratty is the meanest of them all, to a stranger. She'd take a hunk out of anyone in a heartbeat and they'd have to beat her to death to get her off them, but they'd lose a pint of blood and a pound of flesh in the process.

Don't bet on it.

FTFA:

The McHenry County sheriff's office says 26-year-old Nicholas Cosmano faces multiple drug charges after the search of his Cary home.

He was also fined $200 for violating the county's animal control ordinance for keeping Snowflake the alligator as a pet.

Cosmano is being held on $25,000 bond.

my pitbull would bark her ass off until you were in the house at which point she would let you have everything there for a belly rub and a piece of bacon.

(the bacon's probably not even necessary)
