Hunters, please don't report our farms. You will be helping the local economy by looking the other way. Thank you.

[Slim Shady]

[Smokey McPott]

Please, only YOU can prevent hunters finding forest farms.

[Taxpayer]

Pigs! There should be plenty of fingerprints left on the "pig tracks". They should be forced to clean 30 miles of ditches.

Dude why did you have to nark out my stash?

[Gary]

looks like they harvested their summer stash and moved on. they probably had to change locations for next season anyway. Nice job by these guys. the college campuses are very grateful.

[the dude]

how do they determine the value of all these plants? do they factor in quality or do they divide it out by how many dime bags this divides into. my guess is that this stuff is the downtown brown, which sells for $100/oz

If either MN or WI legalizes pot because of some foolish Democrat law maker, expect to see this problem grow 100% like California!

I don't see people growing weed for there own use a problem. Most people who are high do not get violent or commit violent crimes unlike alcohol or other drugs. Let them grow it.

Hyde and Fez are selling it over by the Park Point water tower.

[Pete Wendell]

Yeah, rat traps and ropes sound really scary.

[rube2]

take the illegal $$ out of it and the crime goes away. let joe fatty roller grow 1 or 2 plants at his home....use the resources for meth and alchohol treatment....booze abuse still biggest chem problem in the world

[richard schumacher]

It's time to legalize and tax this stuff. Prohibition didn't work in the 1930s, and it's not working now in exactly the same ways.

[Not exactly]

That's like saying people would be making moonshine out in the woods if alcohol prohibition were repealed. Do you?? A lot easier to just buy it in a store.
The California problem is that you have a pseudo-legal atmosphere. The illegal market is still competing with the legal medical market. The mish-mash of laws between municipalities certainly complicates things. Oakland's residents passed a law to tax the medical marijuana, and by all accounts, a formerly desolate community and downtown area are now thriving. If persons were allowed to grow plants on their own property, the illegal black market grows like this would NOT happen. There would be no reason for it. It's not a dem/pub issue. BOTH sides like the campaign contributions from police organizations that are gotten via seizures. THAT is why we have not seen these ridiculous laws abolished as has been done with alcohol. Read up on your history and see how prohibition never worked, and continues to fail miserably. The saddest part is that prohibitionists say it's to "protect the kids," yet kids report drugs are much easier to obtain than alcohol or cigarettes.

It's gotta be ditch weed, otherwise it wouldn't be abandoned. But hey, where and what time are they burning it.

[Reefer in cheeseland]

Do these folks in wisky eat cheese when they get the munchies?

[Gus Goodspeed]

who's got my grip?,this was going to be used to supplement my unemployment insurance money

[Laughable]

Right, like the US Government knows anything about weed. If they DID know the facts about weed, it would be legal!! As a Native person I have to assume, for self-preservation, that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING the government says is wrong. Look at their track record I can't recall the US government making a single correct decision in my 42 years living under oppression/freedom.
