[Know your rights]

Sorry, my question was ambiguously worded. Your statement, "According to the pot activists he would have had all his property confiscated and served hard time, and his entire life ruined" implies that "pot activists" say that EVERY person who gets arrested for intent-to-distribute amounts of pot has all his property confiscated, serves hard time, and has his entire life ruined. Can you produce any quotations that prove your claim that "pot activists" say this?

Tell you what. I'll point it out on the next pot thread where it occurs, which should be what, 40 minutes from now? Nobody cares except you, who wants to split hairs. Anybody who reads the thousands of pot threads that you and your cohorts post knows that when all else fails, you'll get the violin music going with the claim that pot users endure draconian punishment from the state.

As to whether it's every case, nobody cares. That's beside the point. The point is that somebody who got caught with 100 plants, and then was stupid enough to paint the pot symbol on his house was more worthy of the draconian punishment that the histrionic pot activists claim. Nobody cares if the claim is for every case, except pot activists such as yourself. I'm not playing your game of diversion.
