They have to justify the war on drugs

Legalization is long overdue. I don't care if that offends anybody. The money and resources wasted is what should be offensive. S

Spend the money saved from chasing pot growers into busting more tweakers. Spend the taxes collected on treatment centers for any and all chem dependancies. But locking up marijuana growers is getting us nowhere.

You're not alone on that one Vhawk!

Where was that when I was smoking?

Though it hasn't been 4:20 at my house for a long time now (Sol, PM me if you need reasons), I have to agree, they are barking up the wrong tree.

Maybe that is what they paid for it.

Onr thing I remember is : No outdoor pot is worth anywhere close to that much.

Can you imagine the cost on just the seeds alone? Wowza

They weigh the plants WITH the root balls then tally the seeds and multiply the average weight of the plant times each seed since each seed technically counts as a potential plant. This way they get a big grant from the DOJ next fiscal year.

1 x 2" plant + rootball = 5 lbs

5lbs x 24 seeds = 120 lbs of illegal narcotics.

Now I understand how OJ got off.
