Whenever I'm high on reefer, reading Sanskrit is really a hoot!

The god of the bible is on crack!!!

if you want a good/easy read about industrial hemp. willie nelson wrote 'on the cleaner road again' and its available at the HPL. willie burns ALL bio-diesel in his vehicles.

hahaha. im more convined He put it here than He actually is...if that makes sense:)

good point justwndrn on the industrial hemp. a kid smokes that stuff one time and one time only. no buzz just a headache but uncle sam doesnt want to 'send the wrong message' and ok industrial hemp. not sure what kind of message they are sending by allowing the two most death causing drugs to be completely legal...

All of them.

"The plant came from GOD"
-
Which one?

Willie Nelson is a huge advocate for the legalization of marijuana, not just for the effects of smoking, but for hemp and all the products that can be made from it. The US is falling way behind other countries that are allowing hemp to be grown. But the petro-chemical companies, with their billion dollar industries and interests are keeping hemp and marijuana linked together with their scare tactics and lining the pockets of politicians to keep it from being legalized. The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper, ships sails were made from cannibis, hence the word canvas, rope, clothing and tons of stuff that is now made from plastic used to be made from hemp. And it was totally better for the earth than plastic. Check out www.crrh.org Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of Hemp. Very interesting.

I don't know these people, but I'm guessing the 61 year old man isn't a hardened criminal. And what about the middle-aged woman? What, did they have a meth lab or something?

Seriously... what a freaking waste of time and money. Leave them alone! I can't wait for the medical marijuana bill to pass in Wisconsin...

"A loaded .22"? Wow--these desperadoes must have been expecting big trouble (from squirrels).

At least this should drive up the price of MJ so that all that imported and cut Taliban-tested heroin remains a good buy on the local market, and gangs can remain profitable in these uncertain times. And...we won't have to deal with all that MJ-driven aggression and those nasty MJ overdoses and deaths!

kids heaven ;)

I watched a show of Holmes on homes. A lady had renters that turned the whole house into a pot plant (haha). They ruined the WHOLE house. venting stacks everywhere and cut holes everywhere. Sent the exhaust out the fireplace. Cut a huge hole from house to garage to transport it I guess w/o being seen. Lamps everywhere. one room full of baby plants. MOLD everywhere. It was nasty.

you know the answer guitrguy. profit. corporate lobbyists. its sick. and the anti-potters think its illegal because of the effects of using the drug. lmao. couldnt be further from the truth.

The United States govt are a bunch of hypocrites. We are in the business of dealing drugs everyday! Whatever your drug alchohol,coffee,cigarettes or prescription drugs we got it, but you can't smoke a weed, grown naturally on this planet, put here by GOD ALMIGHTY himself, I dont get it somebody explain this to me. LEGALIZE NOW!!!!

http://www.leap.cc/ This site is LEAP which is law enforcement against prohibition. Talk to your high school students about the ease of obtaining pot vs. liquor and smokes and perhaps your view of legalizing will change.

Great... this is the reason people are taxing on shwag.... the yearly drought begins.

LOL well Im not saying I totally agree with you but I can see your point a little.....

lol. that was my thought too booker:) see what we deal with in the war on the war on drugs?? how do you debate that?? lol.

Ummm so you do know that Walker Texas Ranger is a TV SHOW right?

thats good stuff truth!! umm placebo i have no idea what that video is suppose to represent. maybe its funny when im high?? ill try again later;)

Instead of building the worlds coolest bong, why don't you mary jane lovers watch what happens when you mess with the law as shown in this clip from Walker Texas Ranger.

You know what I mean, it's like God on the seventh day looked down on his creation:
"There it is, my creation, perfect and holy in all ways. Now, I can rest."
[Mimes God looking around - spotting pot]
"Oh my me."
"I left f*&%$ng pot everywhere."
"I should never have smoked that joint on the third day ..."
"That was the day I created possums. Haha. Still gives me a chuckle."
"If I leave pot everywhere that's gonna to give humans the impression they're supposed to... 'use' it."
"(sigh)Now I have to create Republicans."
-Bill Hicks

brewcrew420: im not the religous type...other than maybe rastafarian...but im pickin up what yo puttin down. bravo.

Any religious types out there want to discuss Genesis 1:29?

No matter what translation you use, it goes something like:

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

I think you meant "decadence - the state of being degenerate in mental or moral qualities"

YES! Imagine the tax revenue from Janesville alone! Legalize it NOW. Put down the bottle and pick up a bong!

truecitizen: will you smoke marijuana when its legal??

Yes Degradance is a form of the same word 'the act or subject of degrading or lessening something'. Perhaps it is spelled degradence/ degredance...whatever, I will look later. I realize people are already doing this stuff. I realize the sky will not 'fall', but it will get worse, and not all at once. People already drive under the influence of other-than alcohol, and there are many convictions. Some related to accidents. There is an alarming number of adults driving drunk with children in the vehicle, as well as driving high (from many other drugs including pot). I agree with the Kid's view on alcohol. I would have no problem seeing further constraints on it as well. You speak of your engineering job, well not enough younger people are aiming for solid jobs these days. There seems to be a change for the worse. My views on pot (and any illegal drug/ alcohol)are only a small portion of the whole problem (in my view and opinion).

The plant came from GOD, who are we to ban it! Keep in mind that stress is a killer and this controls stress! just think, that would be a big lost for all associated with the medical field!

truecitizen: I do like you’re the sky would fall mentality with regard to this, however what you do not admit is that the people who do smoke pot will whether it is legal or not. Also you mentioned selling everything to China well in this case we are having the majority of our pot produced in Afghanistan and Mexico. So people who purchase are in fact buying a foreign made product with a high profit margin. I also do like how you mentioned how people don’t work for anything and they don’t have “real careers like engineering” that really made me laugh since that is my profession. And I can honestly say that I am not speaking my mind on the subject so that I can smoke. I do not smoke and could not with my career. I also cannot drink and then do my job. If I did I could be sued and lose millions. From your post it seems that you believe that people currently do not drive while high or do anything else that you mentioned while high. It is already happening in our very community, sorry but the sky won’t fall if this ever does happen. It would in fact be a very good crop for farmers and a good source of revenue for the government. But this is just an opinion from a well educated person. Have a nice day. By the way “Degradance” is not a word, unless you really messed up the spelling. Degradation is a word, were you aiming for something closer to that?

i understand the 'reefer madness' point of view. truecitizen: when legal will you start smoking marijuana??

i advocate for my legal recourse first and foremost. have you seen me post my drinking history?? not good. i just cant comprehend why that drug is legal an pot is not. it makes NOOOOO sense. if alchol was illegal i could understand. legalize all drugs or illegalize all drugs. i also advocate for the medical use. to deny a patient medicine that would help SHOULD BE CRIMINAL...not smoking it if it helps you. i also advocate for the govt to start making some dough on it. you cant deny that we spend millions every year fighting marijuana. you also cant deny the the usage numbers have not changed since the war on drugs started 40 years ago. maybe legal pot isnt the answer to our problems...but illegal pot sure isnt either. full on legalization would be nice...but we advocates are open to de-criminalizing it, which basically means RESPONSIBLE ADULTS wont risk prosecution for SIMPLE POSSESSION. its the anti's who arent flexible...AT ALL. they repeat reefer madness theories such as yourself and do no research to find out there may be a reality other than what youve been told.

and yes i do wait for these stories. i dont have the time or money to help the fight in other ways right now so my part in the war on the war on drugs is to try and show that there are responsible marijuana smokers out there who function in society as employees/parents/friends and DESERVE the right to smoke pot if they chose. there are MILLIONS of us who function in society as recreational pot smokers. they just dont tell everyone like myself so you dont know. but trust me...they tell me:)

You must sit in front of the on line Gazette waiting for the opportunity to strike at these articles! Here it is. The Country as a whole is already in an 'entitlement'attitude, selling everything to China, allowing all illegals to flood the system, socialize everything (medical etc), and don't work for anything (and when you do, it's not a real carreer like engineering), give all criminals every shadow of a doubt (and let them sit at home for their punishment), etc etc.

Now you want people walking around stoned! It affects the brain. People will, as a whole in this poulation, turn to mush. Look at how many smoke tobacco. Can you imagine how many people will be at work under the influence? It will be impossible to control it. Work places will be swamped with batteries of testing processes to make sure their employees are not high, test scores will drop, productivity will fall off of the map. People will make bad decisions, accidents will increase. Just look at the alcohol issues and people don't seem to try harder with that subject.
*
By the way "kid", even trying to make the change to allow this stuff in society legally, would require a huge change in the system. That change would be horribly difficult for this already strained system, to take on. Basically another wrench in the gears.
*
Can you really tell me you are not just advocating this for any other reason other than you want to get 'high' without legal recourse?

Degradance breeds Degradance. Look it up. These people who were arrested should be ashamed. Times are tough....so what, get a real job losers and stop growing pot. Young people have enough problems trying to concentrate these days.

truecitizen: could you explain to me how legal pot would be 'a concession and a degrading act for our state and country'??

For those of you who want to (use as an excuse by the way so you can use it yourselves), make pot legal and gain the tax revenue, you should be thrown in jail for proposing it. It would be a concession and a degrading act for our state and country. Stop pushing for legal dope, we have problems now and those problems would get worse.
*
We do not need more tax revenue anyway. There is enough out there, but Doyle and all the other crazy liberals are spending it without just cause on horrible beauracracy. I have to say it.....It appears to me in all news related articles, criminals and drug users are aligned with the left wing in the country. Sounds like tripe I know, but it is only my observations.

Good job by the SIU people, and agency assists! I hope now that our courts don't go lightly on these two just because the jail is a little full! Jail population should not affect judicial decisions. Home detention should not be given either.

good post mespl

So justsaynotomath, you want to drive with drunkand high drivers rather than spank yoru kid ever, You must be an awsome parent.

I would support drug decriminalization for the simple reason that we need to take this out of the hands of criminals. Pot smoking doesn't bug me as a citizen, but the pot dealers do, because of what they inevitably attract. It can become impossible to feel safe just maintaining your front lawn with a crowd of gang members across the street eyeing your every move (because, of course, they have nothing else to do). If we could bankrupt the gangs, the city would be considerably safer.

getting drunk was illegal at one point too, but no one really stopped drinking did they. would you prosecute a drinker if booze became illegal again ? or would you just ticket them ? pot was not illegal at one point and if a ticket is good enough for a drunk then it's good enough for a pot head. stop being so one sided. i know a few cops, lawyers, and a judge who all smoke. They seem to be more then able at there jobs. some of us "pot heads" have higher educations and can walk circles around you drunks on most topics except maybe how to drive home drunk without getting caught. so stop being so high (pun intended) and mighty.

Joker, lets ignore the potential tax revenue that could come from this, the money that farmers could make as a crop, the savings on prosecution, jails and law enforcement because you are narrow minded. Also your statement that everyone for this is a pot head is completely untrue and you would have no way of supporting that statement. I have never and would never use pot, but I know others do and will continue to even if it is illegal. I am rational enough to know that the war on drugs is a losing war. I am rational enough to know that pot is not very dangerous and since it cannot be stopped and poses little threat then why not regulate it. I am rational enough to know that drug money is going overseas to drug cartels and terrorists; if we legalize it then we take away their major source of financing and bring it back here to farmers. We are stupid to not legalize it; we are providing the money to the very people who are shooting at and killing our sons and daughters overseas. Do you want to help fight gangs here get rid of a major source of their financing, pot. If this was regulated then we would have some major wins against crime and terrorism (by the way the Taliban stronghold is in the major opiate producing part of Afghanistan, they make their money off drugs, we are funding them for crying out loud).

Someone should contact "dankangel", and tell him there's another pot story posted in the Janesville Gazette.

Got a life. Got a job. Facing reality. What now?

Would rather get shot with a .22 than stabbed with a large kitchen knife, just my opinion. As for the pot, not opposed to it except that it is still illegal. Need to work through the legislation to get it reversed if that is what you want to spend you life doing. If so great, quit griping that people are getting busted until you do something to change the law you feel if wrong. PS I have never smoked the stuff so I dont know if it is a big deal or not

The comments on this board are nothing but a bunch of dopes talking about dope. Get a life, get a job and face reality, you pot heads!

I find this quite interesting :)
****

The other day a friend of mine was riding her horse through a "non-riding horse park" and stumbled upon to Rock County boys sitting on a bench smoking a joint. She simply said "You don't tell, and I won't tell" and rode off. Amazing eh?
****
This isn't news........it's life :0)

as soon as uncle sam removes federal penalties you will see the states fall like dominoes as they realize the potential tax revenue vs the money spent arresting people like this. to quote mr dylan....the times they are a changin:)

Oxycontin, heroin , DUI'S , wife beating , child beating, armed robbery, rape.... i think you get the point. why are our tax dollars being spent to protect us from a non toxic plant ???? California is making billions off of medical pot and now they plan on making it legal for recreational use which will make billions more for their state. we should all be doing the same thing ! i will take my chances with someone driving high then someone drunk driving and we already take our chances with that. MAKE POT LEGAL and stop the madness !

I agree! Go ahead and legalize it...and then tax the ever-loving crap out of it. Give the rest of us a break.

I would just like to say I do not smoke. However, would government officials please legalize it already? The taxes from the sale of marijuana could help fix our budget crises, and people are going to smoke it either way. Instead of sending the money from the sales oversees to drug cartels why not legalize it and let farmers use it as a crop, people employed to sell it legally in stores, people employed to regulate it, and the government can collect billions in taxes on it. Stop raising all the other taxes and start taxing something that you clearly can’t stop. You are not winning the war on drugs so try calling a cease fire and tax it instead! This would also help the over population of our jails. It is such a simple solution.

Mary jane debates are the new GM articles for the gazette

justaguy, please watch this movie if you have time. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=... It's long but very informative. normalcitizen posted it on "Early harvest for Rock County marijuana crop" blog. I'm interested to hear what your thoughts are after watching it.

Did someone say Cheetos?

Oh, the never-ending debates of mary jane!

Why? Because this is supposed to be a free country. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Remember that? We can jump out of planes, eat like pigs, pop prescription drugs like a good little addict, and drink booze til comatose, but puffin a little weed is so horrible? Just another government double standard.
Why do I need you to tell me what is good for me? Where is there proof that pot is even bad for you? Just foolish, I tell ya.

what a waste of money and manpower. those wuss cops should be ashamed of themselves.

or maybe he was worried some not so nice of people might know he sells pot and might try to steal it? I'll guess that's more the reason. I have rifles myself but really don't think it's needed to keep any loaded with my son around.Here come the copy and paste people saying pot should be legal, Why? so they don't have to pay the high prices or get jail time or tickets. Glad these people are in jail and not bringing low life people around the area anymore.

America's first marijuana law was enacted at Jamestown Colony, Virginia in 1619. It was a law "ordering" all farmers to grow Indian hempseed.

an unfortunate crime that could have been avoided. when will more people open their eyes?
legalize simple possession of mj. inherently, the often accompanied crimes of possession will go away.
even a growing number of current, and former members of the law enforcement and criminal justice communities agree.

"why have a loaded .22 caliber pistol if selling pot isn't a bad thing?" Varmint control? Self defense? I have a loaded 9mm in my house right now and I don't sell pot. It is simply sensationalism and scare tactics to put this in a press release. Every other house on the block probably has guns in it. I believe every house should have at least one. Legalize and regulate drugs and you won't have to be scared of the drug dealer with a .22 pistol in his house.

why have a loaded .22 caliber pistol if selling pot isn't a bad thing?

The same reason many other people have loaded weapons in their homes, because they are afraid of being robbed. Personally I would have preferred a shotgun. You don't have such a good aim.

Ok so where are all the unhappy pot smokers from the other drug bust blog? and why have a loaded .22 caliber pistol if selling pot isn't a bad thing? .... just wondering.
