">Because no one would ever move 1000 lbs of the stuff? Citation needed on whether those penalties are relevant for cultivation. Can you read? Just asking, because right on the page I linked, it says "trafficking AND cultivation." Do you comprehend that? If it was a trafficking bust, it would be "1,000 pounds," not "1,000 plants." It's really not that complicated! That's still not a lab -- that's a marijuana grow. >WTF? When you're dealing with hydroponics, chemical fertilizers and cloning, yeah, I'd say a pot grower or two might find some use for a lab. Important distinction. Meth is mad in labs. Marijuana is grown in gardens."

That's still not a lab -- that's a marijuana grow. Important distinction. Meth is mad in labs. Marijuana is grown in gardens. I have, one might say, a certain degree of familiarity with this business, since I'm paid to know about it. And I can promise you -- I mean, believe whatever works for you, but I can promise you that NOT ONE GROWER I have ever known has called his garden a "lab," or has even had any need for a "lab" to grow his weed."

"" I'm sure that some people that are growing pot find a lab to be a useful part of their operation" Really? What color is the sky in your world? BTW, the federal penalties for marijuana for trafficking are for cultivation OR trafficking. When you're doing a life sentence, will that matter a lot to you?"

"" I'm sure that some people that are growing pot find a lab to be a useful part of their operation" Really? What color is the sky in your world? BTW, the federal penalties for marijuana for trafficking are for cultivation OR trafficking. But normally, when a bust is for "a thousand plants," doesn't it kind of make sense that SOMEONE WAS GROWING THE STUFF?? In any case, if you're doing a life sentence, will that matter a lot to you?"

"Yes. Lying about the horrible effects of human-induced climate change is just about as low as you can go -- with your lies affecting millions or even billions of innocent people."

"FTA: "I think, right now, is the most exciting possible time to be a marijuana activist for a number of reasons. One of the biggest ones of all is that we're about to win. There is no way around it. Marijuana is going to be a part of American culture going forward.... "I think that people are ready to enjoy the marijuana culture. They're ready to enjoy the fact that they are members of that culture without all of this hiding in the closet - without all of the paranoia, without all of the denials, and without all of the fear. I think that as we light that light up in one person's head at a time, where they say being afraid to speak up and being cowed down is no way to go through life. Life is too short for that and it's time to stand up and say: Yes, I smoked pot. No, I'm not a criminal. Yes, we need to change these laws.""
