Teens Killed For Raiding Pot Garden

[Jim12]

And now they'll be planted.

They missed their opportunity to leave.

If you skim the article, you'll see it is very reluctant to reveal that the thieves were shooting at the homeowner.

Goes against the narrative.

I wish we knew what all this violence stemmed from.

 

[Mr. Ed]

The seeds were planted with legalization.

 

[outrider58]

You might say, they are deeply rooted now...

 

[Squaregrouper]

In the old days they wouldn't have been shot; they would get stoned.

I think the two young yutes were a plant!

Decisions have reprecussions. Colorado's decision to legalize is coming home to roost in many ways.

Couple years back I met a doctor at a medical conference after she spoke about “medical marijuana” (written figuratively as I’m still a skeptic as to the validity of it being “medical” at all) who was involved in legislation, quality assurance, etc.

I had some passing interest in starting my own farming operation in TN and she suggested I meet her to go to one such here in Maryland (location redacted due to non-disclosure agreement).

It was late afternoon, parking area was PACKED with dispensary staff picking up bundles for their shops, the entire operation was like something out of a 1970’s High Times magazine aficionado’s wet dream. Last time I saw plants that green, crystallized resin covered was when I lived in Monterey and had a friend in Carmel Valley who grew Sinsemilla on about a quarter acre.

On the way out, after the gawking, a black, unmarked armored truck rolled up and three Operator types got out packing subguns, rolled a handcart into the building and came out a few minutes later with bags/boxes full of what I was told were THAT day’s cash receipts somewhere in the millions of dollars range.

Colorado reported state tax income from marijuana the FIRST year of over 200 Million dollars.

[I’m surprised those places aren’t being robbed on an industrial criminal enterprise scale, but then again, the HEAT that would rain down on said criminals by a “state” so addicted to the cash flow would be epic].

That’s been the point all along. From the whisky rebellion to modern day taxation of alcohol, regulation of drugs, it’s all been about the Benjamins.

Personally, having worked in addictions medicine, and from my political bent, I’d like to see EVERYTHING “decriminalized.” Every herb and seed-bearing fruit, every extract, semisynthetic chemical, drug, whatever.

JUST like it was before progressives under Teddy Roosevelt made a deal with the pharma devil in the 1906 Pure Food and Drug act to keep the $$$ pumping into gov’t coffers and deep pockets where anyone could walk into a local druggist’s and buy a pound of cocaine and another of morphine “for cough syrup and the soda fountain”.

Were people overdosing? Genteel little old ladies buying tincture of opium by the giant economy-sized gallon jug for their arthritis or lumbago pain? Not after 1907.

Are we better off now than we were 116 years ago?

Legalize it.
Let the bodies hit the floor.

They paid the price for no making sure the homeowner was gone before rolling into that joint.

As is the case in most things, follow the money.

 

[Decoy]

I thought pot was safer than alcohol?

 

[gamer_jim]

Colorado has really gone to pot.

 

[River02]

I blame it all on John Denver....

[ChannelCat]

Did the teens fire "potshots" at the owner?

I don’t know but the homeowner smoked them

And now they'll be planted.

Guess the owner had enough and decided to nip it in the bud...

Talk about some killer weed....

That’s a Buzz Kill.

All I know is, those kids were a couple dopes for shooting at the homeowner.

Pot Smoke and Gun Smoke don’t mix
