"But, given the scenario of finding one marijuana plant on your property, you think it would get that far? Then again, with you ... probably."

I do not own a single tract of 300+ acres, but where I live, there is corn grown all over...in the mountains of WV... and it would be extrememly easy to hide 10 acres of whatever crop you wanted...

I actually own 140 acres on one tract, in NM, but it is wide open and arid, not the best place to grow anything, except dust bunnies...

And my sweeping generalization about your probable status was in response to YOUR sweeping generalizations and assumptions.

With me, they would not get the chance of catching me doing something so stupid, as to grow hemp (indeed, you and your JBT friends can get the dogs and check out any of my property, cars, motor homes, boats, or houses... there is nothing to find!)...

and the fact that you seem to like to take things into your own hands (referring to what you insinuate would happen ...if someone tried something on YOUR property!) shows that you actually hold the law in low regard, in contrast to your standards for others.

Unfortunately, we do not get a chance to make laws, only to be held to them and/or flaunt them... even when we feel they are wrong. But, to be castigated and referred to contemptuously, for holding a contrary view, does litle to further your apparent wish to subdidize and support this WOD.

Why can't you admit that there are things wrong with the WOD, and with what is happening to our citizenry? Or, do you accept the premise that g'umt makes no mistakes... and certainly ALWAYS does things IN OUR BEST INTEREST?

I believe that an adult is capable of choosing his own poison, and I do infer that Hemp is one of them! I like a good red wine, and have never acquired a taste for beer. A good margarita is a wonderful thing to imbibe, and SOMETIMES I EVEN DRINK TWO. If I were to drive in most states, now, I could be convicted of DUI. And with the laws of confiscation, they could take away my car... even though they find me not guilty of the DUI (I know there are some good lawyers)...

In NY, they have laws against the use of tobacco in bars and restaurants, regardless of the owners, OR PATRONS, wishes. They are doing it because it 'MAY' harm someone through the second-hand theory (which now appears to be as untrue as the one about freon! Of course, E I DuPont may have had something to do with that one, since their old patents were expiring). And the result is THOUSANDS of businesses losing $$$MILLIONS in income, many being forced to close, and their employees are without jobs... really helped them, didn't they?

Yes, I have smoked bails of hemp, probably... and still managed to accumulate a net worth which many would envy (I am not bragging, only refuting your constant barrage of unfounded, and unwarranted allegations concerning hemp users). I own real estate in 4 states, have 13 vehicles in my yard (all, except two parts cars, running, tagged, insured, and/or track qualified. Most of it was accumulated WHILE being a hemp smoker.

I also managed to raise 4 children, and have one 14 yr old now... One of the grown ones is a JBT! One is a school teacher, and the other two are mommies with home-based careers. They all know/knew of my usage of that 'vile' (IYO) devil weed.

I have a clear driving record, and have driven an average of more than 50 THOUSAND miles a year. AT times, I admit, I was under the influence of THC (not as a rule), but never out of control. Indeed, with all the driving I do, my reflexes have saved me many times (even while 'stoned')...

My wife adores me, and my friends love me, so why should I listen to your whines, when most of the time you add nothing more than OPINION, and certainly only can refer to g'umt materials to bolster any supposed arguments you do posit (and the g'umt is the best source of truth?)?

If we are truly conservative, we could care less what another man/woman does on his/her own property, as long as it does not DIRECTLY affect us... I know that is a libertarian view, but then isn't conservatism about LIBERTY? (and no, I am not a Libertarian. I have been a dues paying member of the RNC, until this year (when the g'umt became bigger, and more expensive than EVER!!!)

I will certainly quit referencing or responding to you, unless you care to discuss these issues, with thought, not vitriol!
