DRUGS: While Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg, were at a Limestone Drive home in Guilford Township Monday trying to talk a suicidal male with a gun into surrendering, several troopers saw a mature marijuana plant growing in the neighbor's yard.

Once the suicide incident was successfully concluded with the man giving himself up, troopers checked out the marijuana plant and filed charges against the two men residing at the home.

LOL now thats priceless what are the odds of that....Losers

[CHOPPER]

That sucks. Almost harvest time.

[no problem]

I think there are worse things in this world to worry about other than alittle pot growing somewhere.

[CHOPPER]

Grow it yourself for yourself and get rid if some drug dealers. It is a win win.

I agree 100%. It was only 1 plant; it's not like they were growing a field full of weed to sell. Apparently it was for personal use.

[CHOPPER]

Of course it was for personal use. One plant only yields about one to two ounces. There are other variables such as the strain and if the grower is seasoned. They should have confiscated the plant and walked away. What a crock.

Sounds like alot of knowledge on this subject in the Chambersburg area!!!!!

Sex, rock n roll, and cold beer.

People using drugs should be jailed.

They shouldn't have had it where the po po could see it.

That wasn't a very good way to live off the land.

The word of law charges an officer with the job of enforcing whatever law is being violated. That is the officers J O B. From the sound of some comments it is ok to grow and "do" a drug. And those same folks comment about how the crime rate is up BECAUSE of drugs. Wow. Inconsistant at best. The irony is..... never mind. A "no win" argument. Have a great day.

In all fairness I am sure they guys didn't plan for a 6 hour stand off going on next door leaving numerous cops lingering around the property.
I added that to my list of possibles.

You are probably right.

As a neighborly gesture, he should have gifted the standoffee's, a bit of the bud?

A neighbor with weed, is a good neighbor indeed. There may not even have been a standoff.

You know how weed keeps the crime rate down.

Just weed, my friend. Just weed.

The crime rate would most likely be a lot lower if weed were legal.

I do agree with your position on the J O B of an officer. They don't write the laws.

Top 10 Reasons Why Marijuana Should Be Legal:

1. Marijuana users are determined to stand up to the injustice of marijuana probation and accomplish legalization, no matter how long or what it takes to succeed

2. Marijuana use has positive attributes such as its medical value and use as a recreational drug with relatively mild side effects

3. Marijuana is too expensive for our justice system and should instead be taxed to support beneficial government programs
---Law enforcement has more important responsibilities than arresting 750,000 individuals a year for marijuana possession, especially given the additional justice costs of disposing of each of these cases. marijuana arrests make justice more expensive and less efficient in the United States, wasting jail space, clogging up court systems, and diverting time of police, attorneys, judges, and corrections officials away from violent crime, the sexual abuse of children, and terrorism. Furthermore, taxation of marijuana can provide needed and generous funding of many important criminal justice and social programs.

4. Marijuana is not a lethal drug and is safer than alcohol
---It is established scientific fact that marijuana is not toxic to humans; marijuana overdoses are nearly impossible, and marijuana is not nearly as addictive as alcohol or tobacco. It is unfair and unjust to treat marijuana users more harshly under the law than the users of alcohol or tobacco.

5. Prohibition is based on lies and disinformation
--Many claims of marijuana’s danger are based on old 20th century prejudices that originated in a time when science was uncertain how marijuana produced its characteristic effects.[ie Reefer Madness] Since the cannabinoid receptor system was discovered in the late 1980s these hysterical concerns about marijuana’s dangerousness have not been confirmed with modern research.

6. marijuana’s legalization would simplify the development of hemp as a valuable and diverse agricultural crop in the United States, including its development as a new bio-fuel to reduce carbon emissions

7. Legalized marijuana would reduce the flow of money from the American economy to international criminal gangs
---marijuana’s illegality makes foreign cultivation and smuggling to the United States extremely profitable, sending billions of dollars overseas in an underground economy while diverting funds from productive economic development.

8. A regulated legal market in marijuana would reduce marijuana sales and use among teenagers, as well as reduce their exposure to other drugs in the illegal market

9. Arrests for marijuana possession disproportionately affect blacks and Hispanics and reinforce the perception that law enforcement is biased and prejudiced against minorities

10. Prohibition has failed to control the use and domestic production of marijuana
---The government has tried to use criminal penalties to prevent marijuana use for over 75 years and yet marijuana is now used by over 25 million people annually, cannabis is currently the largest cash crop in the United States, and marijuana is grown all over the planet
