begin rant When does it end? Another pot-head thrown in the klink so we can pay for him for the next 10 years. This crusade against marijuana is insane. With the money involved, someone else will fill this void. Maybe Mexican drug cartels. I've never smoked pot in my life and have no intention of ever smoking anything, but locking up potheads for 10 years is not beneficial for society IMO. /rant

(insert joke about Obama’s smoking here)

That’s 2 days per plant!

I don’t have any problem with giving 10 years to a professional pot grower, but this gives me a bit of pause:

“which bordered Forest Service land.”

Given some past government excess, I’d need some strong evidence of his guilt. The government has been known to try to use questionable tactics to acquire land.

I guess it's a tad insane.

Imagine if Bush pardoned all pot offenses? Would he be your hero?

It’s a sad day in our free Republic when somebody can have ten years of their life taken by an overreaching federal government for growing plants. Sometimes I wonder what I’m defending. That’s like getting put away back when Clinton was being impeached and just getting out now, all for horticulture.

[TigersEye]

It’s absurd. Let people grow it in their gardens.

[rightwinggoth]

that’s a little over 2 days for each marijuana plant. sounds fair to me.

Wathced a doc on pot (got bored and turned) but they did say the pot folks smoke now a days is not the weak stuff Gramps smoked in the 60s.

But I agree putting pot heads/growers in jail is a waste of $$$$.

We had an arrest of two guys here on the coast for being out in a field picking the WILD ride mushrooms that grow all over.

My landscape guy showed my the type of mushroom that grows wild on our property.

Waiting for the Berry bushes to become illegal to pick in the fall.

We continue to have laws against marijuana because of all the money associated with it being illegal.
Look at all the forced counseling, parole officers, jail attendants not to mention lawyers that all make their living putting kids in jail and ruining those lives because they got caught with a little marijuana.
You know the Dems are up the rear of trial lawyers due to lawyers donations to the dems and the dems are not going to take away lawyers ability to make lots of money with regards to marijuana.

[LIBERTARIAN JOE]

A sane nation would want a productive, motivated and enterprising individual like this in the workforce - a nation bent on self-destruction wants him in jail.

On the bright side, we now have room for one more mexican illegal!

[mysterio]

Pot should be legal and should be a common garden plant.

[SunkenCiv]

whoa, man, that’s like, 75,000 years total. Bogus!
