Police and federal agents have been raiding indoor marijuana growing operations at houses in the Seattle area.

The U.S. attorney's office says 14 people and two companies have been indicted.

Federal agents and police called a 1 p.m. news conference Wednesday at the federal building in Seattle to discuss the raids and the investigation they call "Operation Green Reaper."

DEA and ATF should be merged into the FBI.

Anytime an agency is dedicated to enforcing only one type of law,increasing the reach and restrictiveness of said laws gains an automatic constituency. Overzealous enforcement also becomes an agent of bureaucratic survival.

J Edgar Hoover emphatically rejected a drug enforcement role for the FBI on the grounds that the risk of corruption was too great.

You people who think no “real” conservatives don’t smoke the weed are just kidding yourselves, or you’re very naive.

Pot doesn’t define your political proclivities.

Flame away, jack-boot lovers.

I’ll sleep better knowing that they spent their time busting pot growers rather than a bunch of meth labs-yeah pot is much worse than meth.

“14 citizens are now in jail for ‘crimes’ that hurt no one.”

For growing plants. Let that one sink in. For growing plants. We let the government outlaw a naturally occuring weed.
