Breakfast reading from the Village Voice Empire: A SWAT team raided Jones's home, even though he was a legal medical marijuana caregiver, then prosecuted him twice for allegedly having too many plants. Who did the jury believe? Westword has the story.
Funding drug cartels... Get used to it people, your police and your government that you pay for DO NOT WORK FOR YOU... Most Americans want Marijuana Decriminalized yet the government persecutes people. The war on drugs is an abject failure by any measure, yet it continues... you really gotta wonder why!
"Glad you only had to stay as long as you did and yep could have been worse for sure" It wasnt all bad..I was kind of disappointed to get out that early..I was having a nice kip on the bunk and the custody sgt had promised me a fried breakfast at 7am if I was still there at the time lol.
Wow, they had been together for awhile then... You mum sounds like quite the woman, of course not surprised as you are always such a gentleman... Yeah nothing irritates me more than a smirk, especially from a dirtbag. Glad you only had to stay as long as you did and yep could have been worse for sure.
"Aww hon, sorry to hear that for your mum. I can only imagine how much that upset you. Glad that all that will get dropped though." Yeh they had been together for about 14 years and married for 12 so she is quite upset but still dignified about it. She isnt too happy with me for hitting him but you should have seen the cocky smirk on his face..I could not stop myself. I didnt get let go til about 4am when I was able to post my own bail so was held for about 8 hours in total lol..it could have been worse I guess. Like I say though, any charges will be getting dropped..the police were somewhat sympathetic with me.
Aww hon, sorry to hear that for your mum. I can only imagine how much that upset you. Glad that all that will get dropped though.
Glad to be back My2. Things could be better at the min but they will get better soon. My Mum and step dad have split up. She came home after the street party on Monday night and he confessed he has been having affairs for about the last 3 years..hence the family crisis..I lost my temper and hit him a few times on Tuesday when we were throwing his shit out onto the street and he called the police to come and lift me but that will all be getting dropped.
It ended up a much longer weekend than expected. I am only back in today. A major family crisis and a little temporary legal trouble are the only things to come out of my time off...at least its Friday and I have another weekend to catch up on some sleep with any luck...so pissed off!
=_= They prosecuted him TWICE FOR THE SAME THING? Isn't that illegal under the double jeopardy laws?
What I don't get about raids is why LE has to destroy someones property like that. They ought to have to pay for the damage.
You just go on and ejoy the day and weekend brother. You deserve everything you can get that is good. Have a great one.
Still waiting on it being confirmed but hopefully should be leaving in about 30mins. Lol thats a government job for ya..Love the flexi-time as well. I can start as late as 10 if I want and leave as early as 4 and if I am feeling particularly lazy I can take a 2 hour lunch. I couldnt imagine doing a 60-90 hour week, I am supposed to do 37.5 a week but sometimes its more and sometimes its less...usually less lol..Its the little things that make me leave early, like yesterday all I could think about was getting out and watching Shrek:: Forever After (which is awesome by the way) with Amy..so I left at 4 and did exactly that.
Early again? Jeez Stan I need a job like yours. In my field I do about 60 - 90 hrs a week from Memorial through Labor days.
Lol when I say get out early I dont mean now. Could be 2 hours yet, which is 1 hour earlier than I was going to leave anyway but hey the sooner I get that J the better.
I hear ya... well hope you and the family have a wonderful and safe holiday, have a toast to the queen mum for me. Oh I hear you about the contact thing... gotta do what you gotta do
Looks like I will be getting out early today thanks to Dear Old Queen Lizzies Jubilee lol. The sun is out and all I have on my mind is going home and having a big cone to myself in the front garden. That will have to wait until I hit the shopping centre and get a new sim card. People from my not so distant past keep ringing me over the last week or 2 and trying to get me to hook them up with some of my contacts (one asshat even called to my house couple nights ago, not cool!).. This I cannot do, I never give away trade secrets..plus my contacts will no longer be my contacts if I start throwing their names around lol.. People start acting crazy during a "green drought"..just glad it has no effect on my habits lol.
and all the while this was going on, tonnes of cocaine and heroin have probably entered the country lol.
It's kinda funny, years ago, almost 20 now, I tried cocaine and yes I have to say it would have probably been my drug of choice, had it not been for the price of it and the fact that I couldn't get enough of it... fortunately I was able to realize that it was not a road I needed to walk.
I tried it back when I was a teenager, and I'll admit I liked the buzz I got from it. But the problem I had with it was that it only lasted a few minutes and then it was back to normal. Not really worth it, IMO. Plus availibility was way down...
I have done it on quite a lot of occassions throughout my teens and it had very little affect so I didnt like it. I then went to London and did it and realised the reason I didnt like it in Ireland was because it had been cut down to about 7% coke lol whereas we were getting about 40% in London for same price..A fucking world of difference I can tell you that and it does have an incredible affect..I can see why it would be so addictive.. So my friend Jonny (Australia guy who I used to live with) and I set it up so the guy from London could send us some every month along with an A4 page dipped in acid and that worked well for a few months then I found out Toni was pregnant with Amy and I just had to grow up. Promised Id never do anything apart from g again, so did Jonny and neither of us have. He didnt have to but he is Amys Godfather so he took the pledge also..good guy!
He is the best..just a shame the old Dog is about 23,000 miles away. He has to come home by September he has been told though so no Visa for Jonny. He really wanted to stay but I am kinda glad he is coming back, he is like a brother really. Plus he is never short of a plan or 2 so he will be fine.
All it takes is knowing your priorities and you always seem to have a good head on your shoulders about it... I could see you deciding that and way cool on your friends/godfather part too. That's a good friend and a good choice in a godparent.
Lol Ok I have done shrooms couple times since but thats natural and was only when my Mum had Amy overnight. Never get a free night now so wont happen again either.
Yeah, I've tried it too and not in my budget. Plus its easier to come off a depressant high than a stimulant high. I hated that worse than the price and how much I liked the high.
All this over some weed. And it was medicinal weed at that. Just keep spending those taxpayer bucks so nexts years prices go through the roof again. LEAVE THE WEED FOLKS ALONE!!!
that's why i want to vote for some one to make weed legal because it don't hurt no one i personally don't smoke it my self but I know it don't hurt anyone and we can regulate it like cigarettes and Alcohol charge a tax and save millions in tax payer money a year and make some money to
It doesn't need to actually be legalised. It just needs to somehow be regulated. Perhaps if all states were to view it more so as a traffic violation instead of a crime. In NY state, you can carry up to 7/8's of an ounce. Now mind you, if you're stopped, you will be ticketed and your weed confiscated. By keeping it at that level, people don't just walk the streets puffing away at it but keep it low toned. No one wants to lose their herb so it's a kinda don't ask don't tell thing. I'd personally like to see where as to an individual can hold up to a 1/4 pound with no bull from the law, but that's just me. Everyone has their own thing about pot and mine is, it's a naturally grown weed from way back. Eat it, smoke it do it.
Yep yep... Columbus has made a mint on the lottery, sitting right across the river. I have seen a lot of good come from the Hope Scholarship the GA lottery has provided. They are still trying to close down Shorter too...of course you know that was coming.
Yep, that lottery package when Sielgeman was Gov was a good plan. But you know how the Bible thumpers felt about it. I even heard assholes say Gov. S. was trying to turn Montg. into a mini Vegas. All because of a lottery. WTF. Morons. We have a lotto here but I rarely even think to buy tickets. When in AL we use to make runs to Columbus to buy tickets once a month or so.
I don't know, we still can't talk AL into a lottery which would generate a ton, instead it all goes across the river to GA.
Most certainly do. Did you know that the fake sweeteners that are used for coffee these days was once considered a banned poison? Goes to show you how strange the feds really are. Anything and everything they want,,,,,they get...
Maybe but even the states in the Bible belt are greedy for revenue. I doubt they care where it comes from in this economy.
Never heard that one before? maybe just common slang here..lol been told can go at 3.30pm so I am out in 10 mins.
The Feds will have to let up in order for the states to be able to do anything. They are the real problem anyway. I think most states would not have an issue with it if it wasn't for the Fed. laws. Feds also use their HWY money and other programs to manipulate the states into complying with them.
I thing you oughta change the trainwreck name to mutt's nutz....lmao....That just sounds so kewllllll
I unfortunately was born in the wrong decade me thinks. When I started smoking I could get an 8th of resin for £15 which was weak dirty smoke but at the age of 13 it hit the spot when consumed with 3 litres of strong white cider lol. Now I have moved up in the world but still have to pay at the very least £180-£200 for an ounce of top quality green. I have something called trainwreck at the minute and it is the mutts nuts, I have got restless leg syndrome just thinking about getting home for a smoke lol. Talking about spraying it, the gangs here have been spraying it with some nasty stuff to weight it down more and maximise profits. Not sure what its sprayed with but the tell tale signs are the hard ash which wont flick off and the tingling on the tounge and pounding headache after a few puffs lol..clearly whatever it is they use is doing a body no good. I am lucky that I get mine from independant growers who have nothing to do with these gangs, so my g is all natural and way strong..hence why my phone hasnt stopped the last while with bottom feeders trying to move up in the world. I prefer to keep them at the bottom, afterall somebody has to smoke that weak sprayed shit and its not going to be me.
It was as much as you could scoop outta the bag in a peanut butter jar lid. Usually about a ounce or more depending on the guy selling...lol...And of course, the size of the jar lid...
I do know that's true. I don't even care if they legalise it or not. I'd just like to stop seeing LE treat it as such a major crime. I remember in days of old the US Govt talked Mexico into allowing us to spray paraquaut(some kind of weed killer) on their herb fields. It made the weed nasty to taste and gave some people headaches. The only real thing it accomplished was the other countries starting importing their stuff and the prices went through the roof. Do you know Stan, when I was a lad, still in high school, I could get a 1/4 pound of great weed for $25 american. Nickle bags were as big as an ounce, lids were $15 and so on. Politics has affected the price of weed every year. It's actually cheaper to buy large quanities of coke and produce your own meth and acid than it is to buy weed. Now that's the government for ya. Imbeciles Stan, the government is the biggest waste of money, not weed.
Ric, its completely political why it is still considered a crime. When the government figure out how to make a load of cash off it we will all of a sudden hear about the laws changing and that it isnt as bad for you as they have been saying (lies) all this time.
They likely will not legalise it anytime soon because it will be difficult to regulate and tax. If it was legal, everybody would just grow their own and avoid paying any tax on it. I know I would lol. Give it a try sometime though Carl, me thinks you may just like it :)
Carl, I religiously train like Clubber Lang 4-5 days a week and it doesnt make a bit of difference to me in that way. Infact I think sometimes it makes me train harder because I know its waiting for me at the end lol. On another note kudos on the 5 golds so far. Best of luck.
no thanks i have to always stay focused and clear if im gonna bring home my 6th gold medal at the summer games this year
Really, he had all his documentation available...man they tore his house up too. Ok who else was drooling about that greenery...lmao...man those were pretty... oh to live in a mmj state...
And injured his dog. That is just fucked up and uncalled for. They'd be sorry by the time I was through with them.
So an anonymous phone tip they decide a SWAT team and a full fledged raid was necessary... they couldn't like look at the MMJ register and find his name first? I mean really? oh and from that picture they have...I don't see 140 plants they say they cut those stems from... I think what the are trying to get him was the clippings and stems from pruning, limit disposal. It's pretty screwed up all the way around,
IKR? I hate the idea of moving, I really love where I'm at, good neighborhood, good schools, close to the fam, but if Mike ever said he wanted to move to an MMJ state, I'd be all over it...
