More than 100,000 pot plants found in Polk County fields
KHOU ^

Posted on 07/29/2014 4:27:04 PM PDT by TigerClaws

After two days of working in the stifling heat, law enforcement officers and inmates have removed more than 100,000 pot plants from 29 fields in Polk County. The estimated street value of the marijuana is $175 million, one of the biggest busts in Texas history. They also found some cell phones in the fields that they’re hoping will lead to the ringleader of the massive operation.

The number problem was straightened out and there’s hardly a dozen or so hands between growers and users. Whether legal or illegal most people are buying from the growers these days.

They still find patches of feral ditchweed hemp growing wild here in MO. I’ve heard the railroads used to sow it along the right-of-ways for erosion control.

>" It will be interesting to see who gets busted and if this cartel or a bunch of idiot stoners."

Which cartel? The Feds are BOTH SIDES you know!

Legalize it for the idiot stoners and there will be no more cartel of any kind!

I hope they searched those inmates real good when they got back to the joint, or they’re gonna be real popular- and rich.

The DEA has to stop domestic production from ruining their lucrative import business. This is so quintessentially American today; punish the domestic producer and enable foreign product.

This isn’t like in CO or OR, or one of those vicinities highly populated by degenerate liberal hippie trash. This is closer to my own backyard. The land I trapse.

Murder? More like taking out the trash. In East Texas, my family, forebearers, and their neighboring peers had a common, prevailing motto, you’d hear more than just about any other. That “some people just need killin.” It cast a wide net, but there was never any question that it included child molesters, pimps and dope-peddlers. The scum of the earth. And don’t doubt for a minute that I could personally dispatch any of those three from the face of the earth without the slightest pang of conscience.

From one Texan to another; don't talk shit on the internet. It's cowardly and without honor. In addition, posting about how you're going to commit murder just makes you look... well.... not very smart.

At that point, providers would no more be "cartels" than Seagrams and Coors are "bootleggers."

Blind hate, is murder in your heart.

You will not be allowed into the kingdom with that.
