[Sursum Corda]

These people are criminals. They planted an explosive device to protect an illegal crop. Legalizing the crop will not do away with the other crime.

Pot heads are just disingenuous.

These people are criminals.

Americans who know the meaning of private property are criminals??

Legalizing the crop will not do away with the other crime.

The criminal element will no longer be involved in marijuana if the crop is both legalized and untaxed. If taxed, the same old criminal element will still be involved, although maybe not as violently since the profit margin would be lower (expect same in cigarettes soon).

"Legalizing the crop will not do away with the other crime."

Does not compute. Why would anyone booby trap a legal crop? Is this something new? Are corn farmers now booby trapping their fields? If so why?

Is this an attempt at humor?

Funny, I can't seem to recall the last time somebody planted a land mine to protect an eggplant.

Sort of like stills during prohibition.
