Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Hey,”Had To Comment”……If you read my post “before” you comment,you’d see I said some “THINK” if you had a med card,it’s a get-out-of-jail-free pass…NOT saying Law Enforcement will give it to you….That IS how a lot of cronic pot -heads think,and how some post here whenever someone is arrested for… Read more »
Yeah a lot of misconceptions and crappy advise from people out there Wayne. A med card only allows you to possess it in the amount as prescribed. Everything else still applies, it’s still under the influence … behind the wheel .. etc … unless you’re in your house and not… Read more »
Big Al……Don’t know which one of the “misconceptions” I got a kick out of more….The ex-employee at my job thinking my boss couldn’t do nothing about him getting high before going to work,during work,and then thinking he couldn’t get a DUI while driving stoned after work,and then losing his job… Read more »
It’s interesting how one can instantly tell those who have smoked the weed and those who never have. All things considered, I think it would be no problem to follow the states that have already legalized the weed. Legalize the demon weed Tax the hell out of it A win-win… Read more »
And too darn bad for the honest people who don’t wish to be forced to have to put up with the human detritous who use drugs. Yep, lowest common denominator, no standards, no self respect, no self restraint, do whatever you want to do. What a bunch of miserable losers.
The honest people already have to put up with it? Why can’t we bypass these feelings of getting rid of the people who use drugs off the face of the planet (throwing them in jail) when we know that rarely works for anybody, being thrown in jail usually has adverse… Read more »
Yeah I should proofread before I submit, But back to my radical point’s, something is really wrong when it looks like having to house criminals is more important to OUR Gov’t then housing our elderly or housing our kids education? I mean what the heck? Not to mention we have… Read more »
“The last thing anybody should be doing today is taking blind dedication to the statements of supposed authority!”
Uniquely put, but quite right, J-Frog. Remember it next time you post on global warming.
Okay Tourbillon, Global Warming or Climate Change? But okay you have a point. When I comment on something like climate change and have experts to support how I feel about the outcome of our daily lives,I jump all over it, I’m no expert and my views are still forming to… Read more »
Yes Tourbillon I agree … Jerry has some good points, yeah a lil radical .. but then that is what it takes sometimes to counter the bullshit of “Supposed authority” and yeah … next time we get into the global warming thing .. some lessons can be learned.
Jerry focus that passion brother in a direct winning way.
Dance around it all you want but you still haven’t answered my question? Why should I lead an honest and disciplined life and be forced to live among drug abusing dregs? Why should I have to have my life and that of the community I live in degraded by drug… Read more »
ANSWER ME!
ANSWER ME NOW!
ANSWER ME CORRECTLY!
DO AS I SAY!
You are too funny, Desert Tortoise.

All due respect Desert Tortoise, I will directly answer your question, I could care less how vulnerable my answer may be, It’s my honest opinion! Why should you care when your doing all you can to support your very own existence and you worry about decisions others make whether they… Read more »
>Dance around it all you want but you still haven’t answered my question? This is not a queston. >Why should I lead an honest and disciplined life and be forced to live among drug abusing dregs? You can’t make an argument against legalizing marijuana that is based in science and… Read more »
I love it dean! Awesome counter!
No DT .. you don’t turn a blind eye .. we need to make a difference against the abuse the junk we see around us … but you can’t also look without compassion. Without compassion, how do we change things .. yeah we can hammer down and condemn them all,… Read more »
I agree. There are millions of honest, hard working people who smoke it regularly. What does putting them in jail solve? We tried locking them all up but we just can’t. There are more than 3/4 of a million people arrested every year for possessing a plant. This hasn’t curbed… Read more »
I agree with you. And you’ve clearly described the results of an apathetic, uninformed electorate.
Real change has to start with the people and they are too busy watching “Reality TV”.
@Had-to-comment,
Psilocybin, Mescaline, Opium and Cocaine all come from plants; does that make them OK?
HeHe good point HadToComment … The system is all about imprisonment .. atonement for sins, it has nothing to do anymore with what is right or wrong. It shows in how it all works now. But of course, they say … justice is blind, and there are no gray areas.… Read more »
You got it Jerry … fear
Right on DT — I’m with you 100% All drugs should be banned — TV, cell phones, cigarettes, alcohol, money, fast cars, consumerism, religion of all kinds and most of all, willful ignorance.
Have it your way Ken, and most of all, we’re going to miss you.
So you can’t explain or defend the true stats of a terrible situation getting worse, but yet continue to support the policy’s and protocol that leave us with terrible outcomes??
Your idea of America sounds like North Korea Ken!
I like the way you think, Ken Warner. But prepare yourself for the usual “thumbs-down” nonsense for presenting facts beyond their normal scope. : ) The angriest and most numbed-out in our society today don’t like alternate points of view and prefer instead to demonize and criticize things they willfully… Read more »
Sarcasm eh?
Good thing you have a soap box to stand up there on DT and pass judgement on the low life with no compassion. I wonder who is the real loser?
legalize marijuana? that’s what you all want right? sounds like a plan, we should allow for all of the marijuana users to drive our kids school buses, be our kids teachers, and work in the health field. its so legit and legal right?
anonymous that is not what everybody wants, why do you say we should allow for all marijuana users to drive our kids school buses, etc.? Enough with your status quo fear mongering, we would still hold up those jobs to the same standards for those fields currently have, at least… Read more »
Ya Anonymous- but It’s o.k. to close the bar every night.
Um…not sure if you got the memo, but alcohol is legal, and you can’t drive a school bus while intoxicated. There are still rules, even though it’s legal. Your point, sir, is moot. Moot, I say.
Cannabis? Gee whiz law enforcement cut your losses already and go after the more dangerous substances that you are also losing so greatly at. False sense of accomplishment!
I gotta go…Duck Nation is on…
Happy … Happy … Happy
What is up with his mug shot!!!!
A face only a mother could love.
99 plants is a friggin harvest,youd have to be the incredible hulk marley to need that much weed,put down the bong and pick up a granola bar
Ferdinand……This is just a guess,but I’ll bet,with 99 plants,he just could be selling, just like 99 % of those that have those med.cards do.THAT is what that prop vote has allowed…..a way for some to grow dope,sell dope,not work,and not pay taxes….but guess as long as the people of the… Read more »
Well Wayne, you say “as long as people are dumb enough to vote and allow it”. Beyond anybody’s personal agenda or bias’s, cannabis/THC does help the sickly ill, a lot better then some of the synthetic pharmaceuticals that help a little and give you more side effects and hence have… Read more »
J Frog…I probably should have stated it different…..When I voted “yes” on the prop back a few years ago,I figured it was a good thing to help those with serious medical issues that people claimed marijuana made it easier to deal with for them…what it was meant for.But who knew… Read more »
Yeah it has become far from the intended patient. And a bigtime LOL to the “sore knuckles” and “ingrown toenail” reference 🙂 I have heard it from the some individuals (with the minor reasons of medicinal need) that have a pot card that they vote no on the legalize theme… Read more »
Where do you get this >and thinking if your driving and in possession and high as a kite,Law Enforcement will see the med card and choose not to deal with it. I’m sure any of the local law enforcement would disagree with you. They will arrest you if your high… Read more »
Jacob, You have a magnificent beard, Sir.
100% guilty of worse mug shot this year 😉
Good grief, 98 plants? Greed will bite you in the butt every time.
The pot doc in mammoth writes recommendations to legally grow 99 plants. I would like to know if this 99 plant permit is truely legal? Making wax hash isn’t illegal regardless of the danger if the guy had a pot card. MONET obviously found evidence of sales. If a guy… Read more »
The state ruled plant limits unconstitutional, and making wax is illegal using a solvent extract such as butane. Do some research before sharing your uneducated opinions. Prohibition is such a waste of life, money, and time. Its just pot, people are way more dangerous on alcohol, why don’t they go… Read more »
Share the source of your claim dude
Looks like the dude might be right however I can go down to Pharmacy on Santa Monica Blvd right now and buy all the ear wax hash I want. Kinda odd how it’s illegal to make but you can buy it at many pot shops. Either way, people that sell… Read more »
The end users aren’t any better, but the honest and hard working people are forced to share their communities with this human detritous, both buyer and seller. I shake my head at it all.
Yeah people who sell stuff for a profit are losers. Why should anyone make money for selling anything? Where’s the compassion.
People should be concerned about his making Wax. I’ve seen two building explosions because of that.
People should be more concerned with grease fires in their own kitchens. I’ve seen hundreds of homes burned down from that 🙂
What is wax?
Cannabis Concentrates 101 When humans learned that the Cannabis plant’s sticky resin glands contain the highest concentrations of active ingredients, the first cannabis concentrate was made and it was called hashish. Most hashish manufacturing techniques remain primative, like sieving through mesh nets or thrashing dried plants and collecting what falls… Read more »

Legalize it.
Grow it.
Sell it.
Tax it.
Problem solved.
What to Do….I know of people with a med card that “grow it” and “sell it”…to whoever happens to want it,because of the safety-net of the med card….never asked them,but my bet is they don’t report their profits to the IRS when April 15th rolls around.The only way your theory… Read more »
“but my bet is they don’t report their profits to the IRS when April 15th rolls around.” If someone wants to grow and posses marijuana under their physicians recommendation just to sell on the Black Market there should be a punishment by law in place, but that’s a flaw in… Read more »
Sounds like he is cutting in on the legal pot shops right down the street. Ain”t that America !
where do these people come from and what in the hell is coming out of his beard
I think it’s either mounthroids or he’s sticking his tongue out. Either way it’s a very intelligent look.
Observer… I think it’s him sticking his tongue out….probably at all the idiots (including myself) that voted yes on the prop that allowed for “medical marijuana”..and what will eventually allow him to have his charges dropped, walk away from jail, and go back to his pot plantation.
Now that is a mug shoot.
