Don't project your dishonesty on real officers.
Not having any facts to back up your accusations is the mark of the average drug defender.
Oh, so I should throw out over-inflated statistics, or just shoot from the hip, and call them Facts, like, ah, say you, to make me above average like you?
No dishonesty on my part. The practice of exaggerating dope busts continues today and any honest cop (and there are plenty of them) will verify that for you.
It's kinda' like fishermen lying about big fish they've caught in the past (or the one that got away).
I put in my years in law enforcement to pay my way while attending college before I went offshore on my chosen career, and wouldn't have traded it for anything.
There are no more liars among cops than there are in any other profession, and certainly no fewer. Putting on the uniform, badge and gun-belt doesn't change a person's character any more than donning a judge's robe suddenly makes one honest and law-abiding.
You seem to live in fear of having your version of the way things are, challenged. If the truth makes you uncomfortable...so be it. But don't be demonizing those who know otherwise by calling them liars.
Good post captain, right in the ten ring.
I learned long ago, some just can't handle the truth. And the one you're having the exchange with? Feeerget it.
No, you should beg the question of whether or not they're over-inflated, just like the average drug defender typically does.
Empty assertions aren't much of a challenge.
"The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency uses an average dried weight of one pound of usable marijuana leaf and bud per mature plant based on yield studies conducted across 15 states in the 1990s, which at that time included the typical presence of 50 percent male plants. In controlled grow studies in Mississippi, the DEA concluded female plants could readily yield five pounds of usable bud and leaf material."

Let 'em smoke. That way we can drill and they'd be, like....too wasted to notice, maaaaaaan!
“With stems and seeds and cured with sugar.”
Had to get seeds somewhere, if one desired to be conservatively self-sufficient.
What does one reasonably expect for $10; the original question?
“pro-drug warrior and big government Republican Party?”
I’m not a Republican.
I have an inkling telling me the Pro-legalization crowd has no argument unless they create bogeymen out of everyone who doesn’t say, “legalize now!” We’re all drug warriors and nannystaters.
I don’t know if you’re one of these who say, “Legalize it and tax it.” If so, wouldn’t that make you an advocate for bigger government? It most certainly aligns you with the Rat party.
Here it is: Although they can, not many people grow their own tobacco either!!!!”
Get the price to anything close to the $300 a pound the other poster was saying the likely price for legal pot and you can bet they will!
“Don’t project your dishonesty on real officers.”
It appears you didn’t read his post; HE IS A REAL POLICE OFFICER!
Fake or incompetent. Take your pick.

RE: your post about $300/lb pot. YOU came up that figure based on the hypothetical $12/pack posted by another.
While that price might make a tobacco cigarette smoker who smokes a couple of packs a day, start to grow tobacco; people who smoke pot MIGHT go through 1 pack per week, making the price acceptable for the convenience.
No harder to grow than a tomato plant?
Well, let’s say that’s true. Last time I went to the store, I could buy 3-6 different variety of tomatoes. Why would I buy tomatoes from the store when I could just plant a seed and grow them?
