Over 200,000 Plants Busted on Cali. Oregon Border

Yeah, very good points there. I agree it's largely a generational thing.. I think many in the up and coming generations either are okay with weed, or don't know a lot about it, which is perfect. That way, the people who know about it can kinda shed some light on what's really up, and things will look up for us all. Definitely the push to keep it demonized is fronted by companies that are making billions off of fundamentally harmful products that would simply be out-competed by cannabis products. Pharmaceuticals, fuel companies, tobacco and alcohol companies.. they'd all take huge financial hits if weed got big(ger), so we're having harmful substances crammed down our ignorant throats by corporate autocrats out to turn a buck at the expense of truth and reason. Not to mention our health. Pharmaceuticals, alcohol and tobacco fuck up more people in the US than any other socially accepted domestic factors, second maybe to automobiles, though I'll be interested to check the statistics. Some system we're running, huh?

I'm sure this will be a very unpopular opinion, but I have to disagree with this. Growing in your own yard or inside your house is perfectly acceptable to me and should be legal. However, growing on public land in the forest is dangerous to the general public (pot smokers/growers and non). The people growing this stuff are generally criminals and should be stopped. For many reasons these types of growing operations are bad for the ordinary growers, like most (if not all) of us.

This time of year, the feds are cracking down on these grows and they should. I don't think they care about the casual grower at all (or much anyway).

OK - I've said my peace. Feel free to commence the stoning (cheap pun intended).

I do not want any growers going to jail.

Growers like this are only fueling the drud trade and violence and should be stopped. Personal growers that don't contribute to the drug problems I have no problem with. Grow your own shit, share and smoke it up urself is fine. Legalize it and these REAL criminals will be out of business and will erradicate marijuana crimes across the board.

oh wait thats right Americans are the only Democracy in the world that doesnt practice a true "Open Government" where you can run and vote on things that matter, instead of voting on whether Lisa Mae down the road gets elected to city cocksucker or not : ) (Another Propaganda, smoke screen, make you believe one thing kinda tactic of the American governments.

And we've elected 100 politicians who claim to be determined to change these things and then change nothing and yet we still keep voting for those same two parties.

It's not even two opposing parties any longer really, they're all in on the same game to a very large degree and really only differ in the small stuff they want people divided on like was said before with abortion etc.

It's flat out insane... And yet the majority of americans just follow along. We the sheeple.

I live in southern Oregon and it seems some of the posters here are caught up in exactly the government mindset desired, blame it on someone else, in this case The Mexicans.

Not one suspect, Anglo or Mexican, has been arrested after who knows how many millions of dollars of LE expenses focused on eliminating the OP marijuana plants.

Anyone who lives in Southern Oregon knows the local guerrilla grows of 100-200 plants are always grown only on public lands to avoid the brutal property confiscation laws associated with illegal growing.

Wise up people, the government has you thinking just like they want you to think.

Yow. That's painfully true.

I absolutely loath partisan politics, and you're right.. we're totally stuck in this stupid-ass american "football game mentality," in which the red team or blue team has to win, whether or not we even buy into either camp. It seems our imagination and free-thinking intellect is simply gone. We founded this country on unprecedented foresight and logic, and now we're reduced to bumbling after whatever game the media, lobbyists and politicians decide they want us to get all distracted on. We've forgotten how capable we are. We can fix all our problems, all we have to do is give a shit.
