Yes, I am suggesting that. The amount "discovered" was trivial and useless. The raid in which they were "discovered" was over the cannabis that he was growing openly, and in strict adherance to the rules then in effect for personal medical use. One original allegation was that he had more than he would need for personal medical use, so he "must" be growing it to sell illegally. It's a bit of a stretch to suppose that someone who knows full well that his use of cannabis will be subject to intense public and law enforcement scrutiny will carelessly have psilocybin and peyote lying about the house.

Libertarians spend 80 percent of their time obsessing about dope.

Not even close. If it seems so to you, perhaps it's because you persist in characterizing us as dopers, and some of us then stand up and answer or rebut your characterization. The fact remains that some non-libertarian brought it up. Meanwhile, there are lots of other issues to occupy our time and effort.

I understand full well why some folks think of the LP as the "Let's Party!" Party. It's the easy way to dismiss a serious, principled, but unwelcome challenge to comfortable delusions.

False.

But authorities in Placer County contend that Kubby and his wife, Michele, stepped over the line in January when they cultivated an in-house nursery of 265 marijuana plants, 110 of them fully grown and budded females, at their Squaw Valley home.
