Rock County deputies destroy marijuana plants
JANESVILLE--Rock County deputies eradicated many marijuana plants after they recently were made aware of what Sheriff Bob Spoden described as a sophisticated growing operation in the county’s northeast corner.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation continues, the sheriff said.
Because of the ongoing probe, Spoden declined to elaborate on specifically where the operation was found and on how much marijuana was involved.
Hunters scouting the area Aug. 23 for the upcoming hunting seasons came upon the site, which showed evidence of an organized, sophisticated operation, Spoden said.

i wish you people would come meet me and see how grounded i am and how 'in the clouds' i am not. i camped all weekend w/my kids and a group of about 15 people, most of whom i met this weekend. THEY ALL gave me props on how well behaved my kids are and how well i as a single father dealt with them. they ALL drank, all offered me some(declined) and they ALL saw me smoke marijuana when the kids knocked out. imagine that...a normal person who smokes marijuana AND people who dont judge. crazy huh.

its so sweet that you all care so much about me. truly. some funny comments. it should annoy all you people that we spent any amount of money 'eradicating' this weed. its a weed people thats all. natural. grown by mother nature. and what we know about weeds is they are pretty much impossible to eradicate:) if you want proof just look at the number of users in 1970 and the number now. its pretty much identical. there is no eradicating a weed. the ONLY thing prohibition does is change the supplier. uncle sam is not only spending MILLIONS 'eradicating' a weed, its missing MILLIONS by not legalizing it. and gfan id love to write a column for the gazette. how about 'kids kronic korner'??

I do know where this happened, and there was a tent perched at the premise, and the CROP was just about ready to be harvested. It happened close to one of my relatives homes in Walworth County. I bet Cloud is so upset because he had his order in! So close, yet soooooo far away.

The Gazette should hire him as a columnist.
It could be called the Cannabis Corner.
Topics could include: neo-hippie attire, pot recipes, and best snacks for munchies.

CLOUDS555... my dear chap, you seem to be in the same discussion that the rest of us are in...wouldn't that mean YOU need a JOB or a LIFE as well?? Nope, don't think I'm all great and mighty because I don't smoke pot. Just consider myself "grounded" and not in the CLOUDS.

How appropriate someone with a nick like "Clouds555" would "rain" on the fun. Ignore that humorless oaf.
"Weeping in their weed" was my favorite. Hahahahaha.
Thanks for my morning laugh you clever people!
