At Governor's Mansion, Yard has Gone to Pot |
Posted by FoM on August 17, 2001 at 07:30:11 PT By Trent Seibert, Denver Post Capitol Bureau Source: Denver Post Gov. Bill Owens may want to take the war on drugs to his own backyard. This plant, later identified by botanists as marijuana, was found growing in a backyard garden at the Governor's Mansion. In back of the Governor's Mansion on East Eighth Avenue in Denver, what appeared to be a marijuana plant was allowed to grow knee-high from a bed of bluebells and clover. Owens and his staff said they have no idea where the green, leafy plant came from, and it's highly unlikely that Owens is grooming his own stash of hash.

in california, ANY(except medical...sometimes) cultivation is a felony...time to pick the governor up and take him to jail...he's obviously a closet drug kingpin...his anti drug stance is just a coverup...HE SHOULD BE TREATED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DRUG CRAZED DOPE SMOKER/CULTIVATOR IN COLORADO...i'm looking forward to the war crimes tribunal...(i hope they give him a NEW hemp rope, as befits his status...)

Can someone explain to me why the governor is not currently sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial on possession with intent to distribute? [ Post Comment ] |

ATTENTION LAW ENFORCEMENT: I AM EXERCISING FREE SPEECH RIGHTS. I AM NOT AIDING OR ABETTING THE COMISSISION OF A CRIME. What if this scenario were repeated at governors' mansions, congresspersons'lawns, police stations, courthouses, and army bases across this country? Would this civil disobedience break down barriers in drug law reform, or rather fill the jails as prison industry wishes? [ Post Comment ] |

Owens and his staff said they have no idea where the green, leafy plant came from, and it's highly unlikely that Owens is grooming his own stash of hash. Isn't that what they all say? The police should bust down the door to the Governor's Mansion and hold the good Governor at gunpoint. Even if he's not guilty, it would give a good message that no one is above the law. Peole have died for less than this. But instead this is being treated as some kind of a joke. What kind of message does this give the children? [ Post Comment ] |

They should have to forfeit the place to the cops,and turn it into a SWAT team headquarters,or a DARE Childrens Re-education center [ Post Comment ] |

The 1st page of the Bible explains where it came from. Gen. 11-12 & 29-30. It would be better if we know where it came from, for it would please our Father to know and give thanks. If God gave us cannabis and we accept it and use it with thanksgiving, then when tested we will pass... Owens likely would fail on all facets. The GREEN COLLAR WORKER [ Post Comment ] |
