WOuldn't it be funny, if weed were legal, and everyone grew their own, and no one had to sell it, steal it, or get busted for it? Man that would be nice to use those tax dollars for...the heroin problem? And if you don't spend money on weed, well you'll spend it on something else. More food for the packer game? Movies, games, music,miscellaneous. So you're telling me all that money wouldn't go to weed, it'd go to whatever is better with weed? Like EVERYTHING!? I like my own thinking, so I hereby reject your reality and substitute my own. hahaha
Some people....Loosen up! Enjoy yourself! Let yourself unwind, with or without weed, you need to!
It's a plant! Get over it! THere's no good argument, that I've heard,for keeping it illegal.I can guarantee that.
=D

Bummer. Two young lives ruined for awhile because weed is still a class 1 drug. I know beaver, and she's not a bad person at all. Maybe she smokes a little weed now and again, but that's about the worst she does. It's a shame she probably was in the wrong place at the wrong time, with someone who may actually be a threat to public safety(excstasy pills?).
This is dumb in general,though. She got arrested for paraphernalia. For what, owning a pipe? I'm sure that directly reflects on her ability to be a good, contributing citizen. Maybe the guy wasn't that bad? Yeah, it's a lot of weed, but who cares? YOu wasted my money for a couple of kids hustling a little bit of weight? Why don't you tap their phones, and get their supplier...or their supplier's supplier? I'd feel better knowing a guy that sells pounds upon pounds of weed and is more likely to sell other drugs or have firearms is locked up,than a couple kids being kids.I hope they get a good deal in court, because this is, for lack of a better term, stupid.

Ha and to think that I was on her team as a freshman. I love the example she's setting for her team. If the school district hires her back next year they're making a huge mistake. I don't think that's setting the example parents want being set for their children, especially employees/coaches of the school district. I know her and the family very well.

I'm so glad the Evansville School District could hire such a qualified freshman volleyball coach. What an example that's setting.

No Sarahb1 i know you didn't say that. I was just pointing out that i don't adhere to one political point of view.

Justaguy there you go again making generalizations. Saying the same people come into your job stoned. The same people come in where i work every monday and talk about going out to bars and not remembering how they got home but that they did in fact drive. I'd like the focus given to the people in this article directed at drunk drivers since they actually pose a legitimate threat. I drink...does that make me a raging alcoholic who gets hammered every day? I smoke every now and then. Should that make me a criminal? Pot will eventually be legal so deal with it.

I have been reading the blogs on here for about a year now. I have NEVER once commented, but this is crazy. I personally do not smoke weed (at least not currently), my profession is against it and I would lose my job. Many people in my family do, and I have no objection at all to it, in fact, I would prefer that this is their "herb" of choice. Alcohol and drugs have so many negative effects on people, and others around them. Marijuana is not a drug, you do not have to do anything to it to make it marijuana, you simply pick it, dry it and smoke it. A drug is something manufactured (cocaine,crack,ecstacy,meth). I don't judge those who do and those who dont. (I certainly would if it was legal). It needs to be legalized, it is not a "gateway" drug, and is NOT addicting. Legalization would free up huge amounts of time, energy and money in this country, and honestly, would make a lot of you cranky peeps on this blg a little more happier, little more mellow and really not much more for you to blog about. Frankly, all of you need to relax, roll one, and get over it..... its not a drug, it is a plant. Lets concentrate on the real crimes of this nation; the pediphiles, murderers, rapists, etc.

Thank you all for the entertainment. I just read all of the posts from the bottom up, and I'm laughing my ass off. Wouldn't instant messaging be better for y'all? Could you imagine if any of you actually met in person? Crazy thought, huh?
Sorry, I don't have anything to say about the newspaper article.
And by the way, better yet was reading the blog entries for that accident that happened this summer when a pickup truck with two local men passed on the right, and swerved back into the left, rolled, and killed the men. Not wanting to minimize the outcome of this accident at all, but the deviation of the conversation to whether U-turns were legal or not had me rolling on the floor. Thanks again for the entertainment.

Rooster, that has to be the WORST analogy in the history of analogies. Comparing robbing a bank to smoking a natural plant? HAHAHAHA, youre hilarious.

fromjanesvilletowaukesha: Where have I ever said that I was against legalizing marijuana?

kai your logic is impressive grasshopper. you are one of the chosen ones:) missing a HUGE point here. as kai points out the robberys can and do take place regardless of the legality of pot. people wont rob a store to buy more weed thats silly. its a plant. if they want weed an have no dough theyll grow a couple plants in their house.

unfortunately justaguy has only had negative experiences with people who smoke pot. thats to bad. when pot is legal you will see society will not crumble. those people youve met are the exception to the rule and certainly not justification for arresting people like kai and myself for possessing a plant.

i forget what that 5 years was for kai, but im sure it didnt earn you the right to smoke a joint.;)

ummmm...hannah?

it would be VERY difficult to blow yourself up with a still to make booze.

Not impossible, but pretty damned hard

And yes, I've done it...altho not in the USA as that would be illegal! <yes, I'm rolling my eyes just a little bit>

Actually, I quit smoking weed for about five years just so I could do something else with my life (with weed being illegal, you just have to give it up for some things, unfortunately). That entire time I still advocated legalizing marijuana. It's just dumb not to. Doesn't matter if I smoke or not, the issue doesn't change.
°
I'm sorry that you just don't understand the herb. It shouldn't even be called a drug, it gives it a bad name.

thekai: i'm guessing you smoke pot and also want it legal? Well wish in one hand and $hit in the other ... tell me what you end up with? Don't need to say anymore ... you have a good night.

justaguy,
Marijuana does effect different people in different ways. However, if you told me you smoked weed and saw a pink elephant walk across your lawn, I'd tell you that you're full of it. There are certain things that, within reason, marijuana simply will not do to a person.
I never said people don't resort to thievery to buy more drugs. I said people don't do that just to buy a bag of weed. I guarantee it. Someone might rob a store to buy a bunch of weed and start dealing it, but again, legalize it and that wouldn't happen. Someone might rob a store and then use some of that many to buy weed. I bet they'd rob the store just for the thrill anyways, though. Weed doesn't do that to a person.
Just because someone likes to get high every day doesn't mean that the person feels like they -have- to smoke weed every day. I know a lot of people who just absolutely -have- to have a cup of coffee in the morning. Weed does not grab a hold of you like caffeine does, though. The addiction you get from weed is the same as the addiction you get from brushing your teeth twice a day (if you do that). If you forgot to brush your teeth one day you'd notice because you're used to it. If your hygiene didn't suffer, though, you could quit brushing your teeth every day. It's only psychologically addicting.
Legalizing weed would be an entire world of difference from legalizing alcohol! They're two completely different drugs! Alcohol is highly addictive, impairs judgment and motor skills, and can kill you in high doses, for example. Weed is not highly addictive, really doesn't impair your judgment at all, and only mildly effects motor skills (not recommended to drive when you're high.) You hadn't answered my question, whether or not you've smoked weed, but I would guess that you haven't.

thekai: I can understand you speaking for yourself but you can't for others, i'm sure it affects everyone differently.You can't tell me why people will rob a store, break into someones house or car but if your trying to tell me it's not so they can buy more drugs you can try that on someone else.Also if your trying to tell me most who smoke pot don't need it most everyday your dreaming, day in day out the same ole potheads come into work stoned to the max, you can try to make legal pot sound like the perfect world but it won't be any different from when they make drinking legal .... nothing but prolems. Oh and if pot was legal AND cheap, heaven help us, you'd spot the potheads a mile away and they'd be more worthless then they already are.

I watched drugs and alchohol destroy familys mine included if I knew of someone dealing in my neighborhood they might wanna move out soon I havnt gone through anger managment yet.
B

justaguy,
People who smoke marijuana don't go crazy when they don't have it. No one holds up a liquor store so they can buy their next bag of weed. Even if you smoke every single day, you can go for a week without feeling withdrawal. You could go the rest of your life, if you wanted to. If marijuana were made legal, I really doubt you would find cheaper prices on the streets than in the stores.
°
I really think you have the wrong impression of what pot is really like. Have you ever smoked it?

fromj2w: oh gosh you hurt my feeling, you can't win so you say I live in a trailer?, what a moron you are. Well now I know what a simpleton you are, I live in a house if you must know but i'm sure alot of great people live in trailers, what is it you have against those people that do live in a trailer? Janesville got awhole lot better once you left ... Thank God.

uhh ok?

That is a good point justaguy. I don't know if you're familiar with waukesha but 93% of the businesses are bars or liquor stores and about half of the households make their own booze because of the legality of alcohol. The sale of anything specifically pot really doesn't have anything to do with economics or capitalism. The market doesn't determine how much is bought and sold and you're right that literally every other house (or in your case trailer) would be dealing. It is a known fact that 100% of the problems in LA are because of legal marijuana and the entire city is a burned out crime infested slum (trust me i've been several times.) Great point and way to back it up with facts and statistics.

fromj2w: all my days are nice and i'm glad to pay it otherwise everyother house on every block would be a drug house ... if you'd like your town to become a place like LA good luck to you. If pot became legal the dealers would just sell the next fav drug, so on and so on. The druggies who couldn't afford to pay for the "legal" pot would still be doing holdups and stealing from our houses. Tell me what good comes from people selling illegal drugs? that is what this store is all about isn't it? You have a nice day also!

Justaguy i'm glad you want to pay for this because you sure are brother. In fact according to the DEA we spend 69 billion per year in enforcement not including incarceration. That means the roughly 150 million working tax payers spend an average of $460 a piece per year on enforcement. So we'll say you've worked for the entire 40 year drug war...that's about 36 grand you pay. Have a nice day. :)

fromj2w: I do want to pay the police to keep up the job of putting drug dealers in jail, but I will agree with you and say lets put the drunk drivers in jail rigt along with them. I have no room on the road for either of them, both types can kill in one way or another ... toss the key after the jail door closes.

SarahB1...I am conservative on a lot of issues specifically on fiscal matters. I don't want to pay police to enforce laws that are not reasonable. After 40 years of the drug war and 5 times the rate of incarceration than the rest of the western world i think it's time to re-asses our current path. I wonder how many drunk drivers were roaming janesville during this, "investigation." Perhaps you anti-pot people would be interested in the large organization LEAP-law enforcement against prohibition.

your inability to think beyond the words written in front of you is absolutely no surprise...youll never change will you??

thekai: you insult me? hardly, I could care less what you say. Point is those people got cought, put in jail and all is good, what I say about them is my choice. thekid: "alcohol" isn't in this story so no matter how you try to change this they were selling drugs ... you'll never change will you? I'm glad they got cought and put in jail .... nough said.

"maybe we should list all addresses of suspected dealers,,,that may deter them"

Can we list sick pedophiles and other sex offenders there too? Since I'm told it violates their rights to place their face and sexual offenses on those digital billboards... how else will these people get caught?

right on kai. ive bought a lot of marijuana in my day and have NEVER been offered harder drugs by any of the people who i bought from. the peeps i know work their 40 hours an go home to families. most non smokers would NEVER know they smoke...let alone sell pot...

and just a reminder as chefT said....WE WANT TO PAY TAXES. WE WANT TO PAY TAXES.

justaguy,
Sorry, did I insult you? I'm gonna re-read, and even re-post, what I said toward you.
"Justaguy,
Little harsh to call them scum already, isn't it? Or maybe you know those two, and you know without a doubt that they're scum."
Hmmmm... nope. In fact, in the end, I even gave you a slight benefit of the doubt. So, I guess I haven't passed judgment on you. You're right, though, you can certainly call them scum if you want.
°
99% of people who use marijuana will NEVER get "addicted" in the most common sense. It's simply not powerful enough of a drug. It's not like crack cocaine or heroin.
I know a few people who sell strictly marijuana, and they are not "exploited-ups*, nor do they ever wish the people they sell to become "exploited-ups." I think you've got the wrong drug in mind....
No, they aren't scum. Not the marijuana peddlers I know.

justaguy: the word 'alcohol' could EASILY be put into your comment instead of 'drugs' and its just as true.

if we used facebook the haters would have to give up their real identity. that wont work.

excellent point on the IRS chefT. WE COULD PAY FOR HEALTH CARE. careful tho...if you get into this blogging and trying to give the blind sight it may be more addicting than the herb you smoke...

maybe we should list all addresses of suspected dealers,,,that may deter them

bukshot: your here doing the very same thing your cutting us down for doing ... you ever think maybe it's you that needs a life?

thekai: I'll call them whatever I like, you try to judge me but I can't them? sorry but it doesn't work that way. They sell drugs, don't care if the people they sell them to end up to be f@ck ups like them, or if they get hooked on the drugs for life, they may even sell to young kids ... yes they are scum.

bukshot,
Because I don't and never will use facebook. :-p

Everyone on here is using these blogs to voice their opinions over and over, why must you all carry on. This is not Face Book... get a life

Let's all agree to disagree on this topic. Dead end.

Also, the IRS doesn't care what occupation you have as long as you are sending them their "fair" share. Their ONLY purpose is to collect taxes and prosecute tax evaders. If a person is selling illegal drugs and sending taxes to the IRS, while risky yes if you put "Drug dealer" on the form, otherwise IRS itself won't prosecute. They WANT our money, we WANT to be taxed for it, make it legal!

hannah-i have no idea what you are talking about...be careful, even though alcohol is LEGAL it is mind altering too.

The Gazette took a poll, ljs64. Most readers think you are a woman.

black_and_gay - Apparantly you are very confused. When did I call anyone that does drugs a loser below? I said if you sell drugs near a school, you're a loser. Truth hurts. Other than that, I didn't start the loser or name conversation and said nothing like that. I was posting how I wish people could get by without. If that's being "dikish and defesive", so be it. Don't read my posts. It makes you look dikish.

No such tax form from the IRS:
*******
"There is no such form from the IRS. I think it should probably be a 1099 - which is a form a "payer" uses to reflect payments that are not "payroll in nature".

PS...hannah, I find it funny that you assume I am a she!

hannah How's the weather up there on your high horse?

PERFECTLY said chefT. you should marry me:)

spark you said 'Legal, not legal, arguing that it should or shouldn't be. Who cares?'...who cares?? YOU obviously or you wouldnt be in this convo.

hannah: the amount one sells has NOTHING to do with personal character. where one sells and to whom, yes, but not how much. theyre just trying to make an untaxed buck thats all. when its legal will these people still be losers?? or do they instantly become law abiding citizens trying to make an honest dollar??

Its a shame so many people like to cast judgement on others, calling them "losers" and they've never met them before. Its a shame to know there are people out there who degrade one another just because of a disagreement in views or personal choices, never knowing what contributions that person may have to offer this world. Shame to think there are people who could save your life if you needed them too but you'd pass them up because you were too quick to judge. People take longer to love than to hate...the guilty here know who I'm talking to.

I don't even want to get into how much waste of tax payer time and money this bust was, or how the legalization of marijuana could actually prove some good to many ailing people, because I do support its legalization and gasp at the hypocrisy of our legal system. But before I do, I just wish some of you would stop and think about the words you use to express your OPINIONS here. Conservative or democrat, pro pot or not, you do nothing to contribute to the debate by calling people names. I'm sure that's not what you teach your children so why would you do it as an adult?? The legalization of marijuana is a valid debate and there are many people on both sides that would love to contribute to it, including myself. Please don't crap on their 1st amendment right by over extending yours. Just because you think you're right doesn't give you the right to be an ass.

hannah - Are you smoking something today?? By reading your posts you appear to be under the influence of something?! Wow....Proofreading should be your friend.....What is a 1090 ??

Can you believe the girl is a volleyball coach at evansville high school and her uncle was the greatest man who died too soon- and was a cop in evansville. Explain that one!

I will make this perfectly clear: You troll this forum calling people losers. Referring to others as "you people." Acting generally dickish and defensive. IN. EVERY. POST. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming you are posting based on your own superior morality. But when YOU take the fact that someone does drugs as MEANING they are LOSERS, which you certainly do, you are demonstrating your own morality. You like calling people names and feeling superior to others, PERIOD.

Common sense. Christ.

localboy,
My big problem with your comment that those "two losers" are "lost on the fact it is still illegal," is that I don't think there is anyone who has posted on this story who DOESN'T know that marijuana is illegal. Many of us simply believe that it should not be illegal, and with good reason.
°
Concrete,
I wish someone selling quality marijuana would move in next to me. It would make things a lot easier! I don't like drug dealers, but herbalists are cool.
°
The problem with stating that if people would just abide the law, then we wouldn't have to waste the money is... Can you think of any country where no one breaks the law? Your best possible answer that you will ever think of is Japan. Their citizens probably abide more laws than any other major country in the world. They still have laws though, and they still have cops. This is because people do still break the law over there. I know, I lived there for two years. The point here is, we're wasting money busting people for smoking weed. Imagine if we quadrupled our police force so that we could stomp out j-walking once and for all! There's a law against j-walking, you know.
°
I like (most) cops, and I like the street crimes unit. They keep our streets safe. Marijuana doesn't make our streets dangerous, though. Some might argue that drug dealers are known to sell more than just marijuana, carry hand-guns, and sometimes have a history of violent crime. I agree. Legalize marijuana, and one thing that you will find out about drug dealers, is the only change will be that they don't sell weed. Think about that for a moment, chew on it. They're going to lose money, and motivation.
°
Rooster,
Robbing banks is stealing, quite clearly. Stealing is immoral, and really it doesn't need to be explained why. Also, most bank robbers bring guns with them (they don't need to though) and are sometimes known to take hostages. Hostage taking puts other people in harms way. Ingesting marijuana does not put other people in harm's way.
°
Justaguy,
Little harsh to call them scum already, isn't it? Or maybe you know those two, and you know without a doubt that they're scum.
°
TheKid,
I got that darn H1N1, but after I get better (few days) we have to hang out again and burn one ;-). Luckily the loss of appetite isn't effecting me so much, I have enough herb to keep me with the munchies ;-).

black_and_gay - Common sense is the point.

Spark, you missed the point. Read again and post accordingly.

I'm not here to judge what is the safest "drug", or whatever. They are all drugs. Safer is not doing any of them. I have first hand experience knowing people that have died from their use, just like many others have. I don't need data or other b.s. to get the common sense point across. I'm not gearing this at you either kid. It's a general post. In my posts below, I was simply stating how I wish people could get by without them and I was attacked for it. Wow. Show much for being concerned for the well being of others.

i assumed when you said 'ANY level' that you meant...well...any level and not just certain quantities. i buy a half ounce at a time. if i bought a whole one at a time would i be a loser?? or where is your cutoff for quantity to determine if someone is a loser??

part of the problem with the fear is marijuana gets lumped in with heroin and coke and all the other crazy drugs, other than alcohol or tobacco cuz theyre legal so they dont count i guess, when the truth is its the safest drug available. more people overdose on aspirin every year than have EVER OVERDOSED ON MARIJUANA.

selling near a school is one level and isnt ok, but selling marijuana to adults is another level and should absolutely be ok. dont forget that IF IT WAS REGULATED THEY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN NEAR A SCHOOL. localboy said the first two posters were losers for what they said. hannah agreed that anyone who thinks this is ok on ANY level is a loser. it just continues to amaze me how you people continue to judge someone simply because they CHOOSE to use or sell marijuana. glass house business must be profitable in the ville. reefer madness is alive and kicking...

black_and_gay - Interesting. I don't recall saying "DRUGS ARE BAD AND PEOPLE THAT DO THEM ARE SAD LOSERS." I also don't recall saying the exact words you put in your post. Are you currently stoned?
-
There is no data that says drugs are bad? You have to be kidding me. No just deaths from overdose and other related consequences. If you need data for that, than I can't help you. I'll take excersising over doing drugs and if you think there is a comparison, you my friend, need an education. As far as my negative posts. Go back and read who I'm aiming the posts at. Read the posts I'm responding to and how insane some of the comments are. Maybe then you will understand better. You will realize I'm actually very positive, but my posts are geared at the negative people complaining. There's a big difference.

Kid - Are you maintaining a drug trafficking area and delivering near a school? If you are, then yes the loser category fits. I think that's what she meant.

Ah spark, your level of insane paranoia and delusion coupled with the extreme negativity of your every post never cease to entertain.

DRUGS ARE BAD AND PEOPLE THAT DO THEM ARE SAD LOSERS.

That's a call based purely on morality. There is no data that says "drugs are bad." There is data that says drugs are destructive to our bodies, but this data doesn't infer morality. You added that.

Other things that are destructive to our bodies based on data:

Aging
Excercise
Not excercising
Sex
Not having sex
Driving
Sitting
Typing

etc

If you're basing your morality stance based purely on data that shows drugs being destructive, then logically you should take the same stance against the afformentioned activities.

But you're much more interested in spreading hate than listening to reason. good day.

hannah you surprise me. i didnt have you pegged as someone who would pass judgement. i thought you were ok with me and what i do, and now im a loser?? wow.

Other way around. I'm sure they owed others money after spending all of what they had to support their sad habit. Waste.

megs Why, did you owe them money?

I live next door to this apartment. I am glad that JPD did their job, and this is no longer happening there!

Thank God they got those two ecstasy pills off the street!

you crack me up ljs. did you write that yourself or did you google 'ignorant juvenile jokes to post on a blog'??

the kid must be stoned or he/she can't spell not sure which it is. Whoever said smoking pot doesn't cause brain damage has never read thekids posts before.

My allergy reaches into the area of overindulgence, more pot, more visine ad infinitum.

Two more drug selling scum off the streets, I don't care how little drugs the JPD found it still got those losers in jail. Localboy you can keep on going on this one, your doing a fine job :-)

hahaha. visine...a must have for all stoners:)

Kid, I like it, but it doesn't like me. When I injest THC, it makes my eyes itch and burn. I'll leave it to those who can tolerate it. Enjoy!

thanx idratherbeboating:) you should try ingesting THC without the smoke. mmmmmmm cannabis cookies mmmmmm

welcome to the team spark:)

I don't smoke anyting, smoke affects my allergies, so I choose not to. I support NORML because I believe in personal freedom, lower taxes, less people to support in prisons, etc. You go Kid!

Kid - Like I said, I don't care what you do on your couch. You're right, it doesn't effect me at all, and for that, I'm glad. It effects you. My post was stating that I wish people would enjoy life without substances and that's my personal opinion. I don't want my kids near it, I don't want it near schools and that's about it. Quit reading into everything and over analyzing an opinion. Smoke up. Like I've said in the past, it's your life.

but now you can add the cost of the DA's time. the judges time. cost of incarceration. probation officers time. cost of the drug tests these people will have to take. all....to....get....just...over...4...ounces...of...a...PLANT...off...the...streets

no offense, but put some thought into that. transportation vs health. lol. both ARE personal freedoms, and if you want to know the truth what you drive(emissions/mpg) has more affect on society than me smoking a joing on my couch.

I don't think this "police operation" cost as much money as some of you insinuate. Realistically, the police probably got a phone call about somebody frequently selling dope (and whatever else) at this address to teen-agers and handed it over to the Street Crimes Unit. A recently arrested person probably confirmed the suspicion, made an undercover buy and, then, a search warrant was issued, followed by the arrest. The whole operation probably took less than an hour and cost little.

There not in the same category because one is about transportation and the other is about health. That was my point. I wouldn't posses THC if it was legal or illegal, hence my previous post. There's better things to do in life, only my opinion of course.

fromJanesvilletoWaukesha: For such a conservative, your appreciation for weed surprises me.

lmao@moralitypolice. yer not needed tho...it appears they are already here;)

i have no problem with you expressing how stupid you think it is. thats a personal freedom. you see i have the time to express how stupid i think the laws are. how are what you drive and what you put into your body NOT in the same category?? please explain. in my opinion both are personal freedoms and if uncle sam has the right to control one, he should have the right to control the other, yes?? or do you not have a problem with him telling us we can not possess THC...because you never possess THC...yet the driving thing affects you personally which leads to the REAL reason you think they belong in different categories??

Did someone mention my name? Sorry, I was out back getting high!

Kid - What I drive and what I put in my body, really aren't in the same category. I understand the freedom part and that it's not my job to tell someone what they should experience. Someone can do whatever they want, it's there body and their choice. I can however express how stupid I think it is, and that's about it. FYI, our NEW Government has already begun telling us what we're going to be driving in the future along with everything else. Hope the CHANGE was worth it. Lol.

A ton of money for a few ounces of weed........good use of resources

spark: i understand what youre saying, and in a perfect world we could do without ALL mind altering. but theyre here. not going anywhere. its not your job, or uncle sams to be 'morality police' and tell people what is best for their own bodies and what they should get out and experience. where will the morality police stop?? next thing you know they will be telling us that we need to conserve oil and telling us what to drive. can you imagine having those personal freedoms stepped on??

Thankyou JPD! Maybe the next focus should be on my neighbor. It's been going on there for years. They blatently do their drug deals from their cars in broad daylight. Some of the occupants that have lived there on and off have been charged with the manufacturing and sale cocaine among other things. I agree with local boy, try living next door to this with the people coming and going all the time. Oh and it's not only adults selling to adults, but to teenagers also!

We have a very short time here on this Earth. There's a lot of great things out there to experience and enjoy before our times up. I wish more people would realize this and go through life without any kind of substance to enjoy those things. Legal, not legal, arguing that it should or shouldn't be. Who cares? How about getting by without it for a change.

this is an analogy; robbing banks is against the law. people have been and continue to rob banks. since there is no punishment that will deter all bank robberies and no end in sight as to robberies occurring themselves, i submit just legalize it and have the police and investigators use their time doing other stuff. keep in mind that the same argument of "why put the people in jail because they will do it anyway" is one of the abortion rights favorite. oh yeah, while i am at it, the lack of respect of infant human life is now reaching into the elderly and in-firmed who may provide little to the far left philosophy of human value to the society.

WOW just over 3oz's. how long did they stake this house out for? a year probaly.Hey jpd if you walk down in say the 4rth ward you can get a guy selling crack on the corner no need to use tax dollars for staking out anything! What was the alleged drug, oh yeah, pot! Pot is that it. Hey I would support this arrest if there was a real drug involved, oh wait 2 ecstacy pills, that will probaly get more time for them than the pot itself.Lets get the real drugs off the streets like coke,herroin,crack or anything manufactured. Pot c'mon people.

By idiot do you mean hardworking tax payer? By drug world do you mean largest cash crop in USA? By worry about your own crappy neighborhood do you mean that i lived in janesville for 25 years? Then you're completely right and i agree with your statement.

i agree w localboy in that maturity comes with age. should we guess bellagios age based on his comment?? ill set the over/under at 12.

I agree with localboy, this idiot from waukesha needs to keep his little drug world over there. So take your little crack pipe waukesha and go sit in the corner and worry about your own crappy neighborhood.

Well said thekid. Nailed it on the head.

heroin is 600 times CHEAPER now than when the 'war on drugs' started. and more readily available. yup sure looks like the war on drugs is justified.

adults selling drugs to other adults. if these people paid taxes on their income and sales none of you would think this is a problem. of course then they would be regulated to NOT being 'near certain places' and we would just call it a tavern...

Local, If you make it past the flag pole, I'll be waiting at the bike rack.

How does name calling show wisdom?

115 grams is a lot of grams. That's the weight of 23 nickels and that's a lot of nickels. I think that's a street value of about 24 million dollars. The cops and localboy will hold their heads high today. They're all so mature and wise.

fj2w - off to school you go now. If you want to settle this, I will meet you at the flagpole at 3:00.......

Well said localboy. Nailed it on the head.

Wow Local! Who peed in yur wheaties this morning?

Thank YOU to the Street Crimes Unit for doing a great job! Way to go! There are thousands of Janesville people who support you.

No you're right local boy. I am not mature or wise. This forty year war on drugs will be over within the next 2 months because of authority authoritatively prosecuting these people to the full extent. The city atty. won't end up pleading down the charges and they will end up learning their lessons because of this. Tax payers will get their money's worth on this one. I will stop questions to my superiors (govt.) because when you question authority things like our country's independence, women voting, and civil rights occur and those were all bad outcomes. Thanks again for your wisdom and maturity. You're my hero.

Maturity comes from age, and from age comes wisdom. You will someday get it. Until then, quit blaming others (authority) for your woes. If I wasn't mistaken, I would think these two social deviants were relatives of yours.....

Well i'll be honest, i'm glad you're glad that i'm in waukesha. What you think is important to me. And like i said you're right that JPD did a good thing by staking out these egregious offenders. If only we had a death penalty in WI. Authority shouldn't be questioned and rules are rules. This country is based on the idea that the government is in control of the people, not the other way around. Going after small time pot dealers is janesville's road to redemption. Fortunately nobody will replace these dealers in the marketplace and JPD has put an end to drugs in that area. Thanks again localboy, you're a really smart guy.

Bravo Localboy!!!

Glad you are now in Waukesha - if people like you were law abiding citzens and went along with the program, we wouldn't have the need for funding these types of programs. If you had respect for authority and rules, our law enforcement budgets could be used on other productive uses. Eventually you will mature, and be in the position that someone will need to rely on YOUR authority and you will know what it feels like.

Wow localboy that comment changed my opinion and really my outlook on life. From this point i will blindly follow the orders of the government and will support actions of police and the use of our tax dollars in all circumstances. I will call chief dave moore later today and let him know i support ticketing all people going 26 in a 25 mph speed zone because that's illegal too. Sorry someone as smart as you had to be subjected to my loser comment. How dare i question the actions of our civil servants!

Yeah...we should just let them be.... Maybe if you lived next to a drug dealer you might think differently.... Thank you JPD ....

You 2 losers are lost on the fact it is still illegal. Until then, you are a ciminal if you are caught.

Most likely thousands of dollars preparing this search and you got 4 ounces of weed...congrats on the big bust JPD. Finally the children of Janesville are safe!

It wouldn't be a crime if they didn't have to hide it.
