2,600 pounds of marijuana worth about $2.1 million during= $50/ounce? All that interdiction isn't making it any more costly. It wasn't that cheap in the 60's.

Maybe the feds don't understand pot prices since they get theirs for FREE.

I wouldn't dare tread on your opinion. That's the kind of thing I make it a point to avoid stepping in, and will stop and scrape it off immediately if I happen to do it accidentally.

Mr.LeRoy is desperate to be on this site....so much so that he'd actually pretend to be a real Christian in order to avoid Admin scrutiny.
