  Making a Big Deal of Destroying a Pot Farm

cannabis I first developed a dislike for marijuana after being assigned as a young reporter to an all-night police stakeout at some dude's farmhouse in Colorado. The point is, I'm a guy who needs his sleep and being awake at 3 a.m. to watch the bust go down wasn't my idea of time well spent.

But because people are most likely to be home then--and least likely to expect cops to come bursting through the front door--that's when it was done. After the adrenaline rush from the raid subsided (about 30 seconds), we went out to the barn to inspect the haul.

EL TORO PUPU - THE DIET OF THE MASSES!
IN THE 19TH CENTURY THE NATURE LOVING, PEACE LOVING NATIVE AMERICANS LEARNED ABOUT "MANIFEST DESTINY",AND AFTER STEALING THEIR LANDS, THE HOLY, GOOD AND JUST RELEGATED THEM TO THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE RESERVATIONS.
TODAY THEIR DECENDENTS (SPIRITUAL), ARE RELEGATING NATURE
LOVING, PEACE LOVING GANJA USERS TO THEIR RIGHTIOUSLY
BEQUETHED CELLS IN AMERICA'S PRISONS.THE INQUISITORS AND PHARASEES- MUST FEED THEIR FORM OF LUST AND PASSION- AND THE BEAT GOES ON.
WHATS IT ALL ABOUT? $$$$$$$$!
CORPRATE AMERICA, THE PHARMACITICAL COMPANIES, THE LIQUOR AND BEER CORPRATE LOBIES NOT TO MENTION THE PRISON GUARD UNIONS, AND LAW INFORCEMENT LOBBIES THAT FEED OF THEIR INJUSTICE TO THEIR FELLOW MAN. ETC.DON'T WANT GANJA LEGALIZED! CAN"T FIND A WAY TO MAKE A BUCK, ITS JUST A SIMPLE FLOWER ISN'T IT?
IN 1930'S IT BECAME OBVIOUS, TO OUR LOBBY DRIVEN CONGRESS THAT HEMP A SIMPLE PLANT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH THE CHEMICAL AND PLASTIC CORPORATIONS WHO CAME CALLING WITH THEIR BAGS OF MONEY. EXAMPLE OF THE REALITIES OF AMERICAN POLITICS.
TOO MUCH TO ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO WISE UP! IT'S NOT THEIR NATURE TO DO SO. PEACE,
Z

This line really bugged me:

>>After the adrenaline rush from the raid subsided (about 30 seconds)<<

Yeah, maybe for you and the swine patrol. I'll bet whoever was rousted out of bed didn't get over it nearly as easily...

Shhhh dddd,

I'm just kidding but I sure like the one question.

Drug control is a sham; it's time for legalization

Sounds like it could be nice to put on a shirt. We need lots of mottos.

FoM,,,,,I'm Shocked!!!
...Shame on you for suggesting this double poll vote mischeif!...

..no,,I'm just kidding,,,,compared to the underhanded tactics
of the antis and drugpigs,,a few extra votes is quite innocent
mischeif,and fairplay......heck,,if we had anywhere near the
reasources they have,the ONDCP would not exsist,and the DEA
would be involved in prosecuting such people as the makers of
Ritalin,for deceptive and wreckless promotion of their snake-oil
drugs to many thousands of kids,,whose only problems were
the normal symptoms of growing up,and incompetant parents
with more money than brains,or time.

...dddd
