Wow, that's a ton of weed (almost literally)!

It's wonderful that we have the police to protect us from highly dangerous things like plants

Thats $243 an ounce. I love cop math

If this is the action that I saw yesterday, this was 3 houses south of Raymond School. I saw it when I was dropping off my child at school. SWAT was there and the house teeming with police. It is concerning that this was so close to a school.

Anyone agree with this guy's take (from an email sent to me last night): "See, if you call it "drug-growing" operation, it will perpetuate the stereotype that weed is a drug. The DA said no more! Now people have to buy their medicine off the streets! What kind of morality is that?? Can you really say a medicine that simple grows out of the ground, like aloe vera, is a dangerous drug and should be illegal? Get a grip! help this country, dont ruin it!"

At approximately $300,000 per pound, that must be some mighty nice weed! Seems a little high priced to me. I'd like to know how they arrived at $7.2 mil for less than 2000 pounds.

According to Chief Brad Wentlandt, the price is derived from the current local selling price of high-grade marijuana, which ranges from $3,000-$5,000 per pound depending on quality. As for those curious what will happen to all that pot, it will be re-weighed, samples will be taken as evidence and then it will destroyed.

Congressman Steve Cohen from Tennessee states in his letter to Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske that, "There is no evidence that marijuana has the same addictive qualities or damaging consequences as these harder drugs and it should not be treated as such." He goes on to explain how drug convictions for non-violent possession "crimes" have high costs - almost $7.6 billion per year is estimated to be spent on marijuana arrests and prosecutions. He also states that the damage to ruining someone's life with an unnecessary conviction is an unreasonable cost to our society, dooming these people to "second-class citizenship". He mentions the "disastrous racial disparities" in the criminal justice system, reporting that African-Americans and Latinos are much more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than whites.

Funny thing is that I used to cover the Town of Raymond from 2001 to 2004. I once wrote a historical piece about how the Raymond/Union Grove area back in the 1930s and into the 1940s had grown a considerable amount of marijuana for the war effort because it was used to make rope.

yup... I reported that.

The mother of my child has taken my son & refuses to let me me see him. If she has the right to be with him then so do I pursuant to the 14th amendment, if she does not have that right then why is my son with her? I have all the documents proving I am his father.
This is a DIRECT VIOLATION of the 14th amendment.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the EQUAL PROTECTION of the laws.
