Now I know...

...why there was a helicopter flying around the whole time while Marcus, Chris and I were riding at Golden Gate yesterday.

Nice. I'm not a pot person, myself, but does it strike anyone else as a huge waste of time and money to go after these kinds of things? Just let the potheads smoke their dope. Heck, let them buy it in the smoke shop and pay taxes on it. Everyone wins!

If only we could have found it first and paid for all the broken bits with the proceeds.

Fun ride with beautiful foliage, in any case.

DEA helicopters are equipped with imaging equipment which can detect the spectral/infrared signature of marijuana. They'll hover low over and are and circle endlessly in an effort to identify such crops. You'll also notice DEA choppers have no tail numbers; yes, the literal and proverbial black helicopter.

I use to think your way until my kid sister began smoking at 16, hanging out with 25 year olds and finally dropping out of school. Sure it might as well be taxed, but the penalty of soliciting to a minor should be DEATH.

I agree, legalize it, control it, tax the heck out of it.

I'm sure there is a place in Iran for you to go live.
Should all people who drink alcohol die also?

PS, legalize and tax...promote. It's no worse than liquor
