A little too much bud there for personal usage I'd say. Looks like a real large scale operation. Must have a lot of people working growing those plants. Really elaborate setup. Sad people look at weed and see business/money. I can understand the young gun who is in hs or early college selling grams and such just to get a few dollars in his pocket but grown men profiting from weed is pathetic. Get a fuckin real job. Selling weed does not count regardless of how much money you make. I have friends who sell me 1/8's or 1/4's out of their stash but they dont do it for pure profit since they have real jobs.

Making a mil off weed is pretty hard work for an individual. You'd need lawyers to help you launder that money. Youd need to pay staff ( growers and your street runners. By the time you pay everyone off I highly doubt youd be in the mil range from selling weed. Maybe close buts its an awful lot of work for an occupation with so many hassles. Is this guy paying off cops? Is the property where he grows in his name? Do rival gangs/mafia know of his operation and want him wiped off? If cops don't get paid does he sleep well at night knowing this whole operation can be shut down tomorrow? Does he think about jail? does he think about having felony convictions on his record so that once hes realeased from jail there will be very little legitamite finacial opportunities available to him?

lilililililiNot trying to argue with you since we appear to be on the same wavelength mor or less.....lililililili


well at least with basketball once you make it you dont have to worry about jail or being murdered. Well except if you refuse to mature and identify with thug life. Or if you have sex with white women in Colorado but thats another topic. Or if you do too much coc before you even play a game( Len Bias --- but thats not even muder). Or if you shoot your limo driver ( Jason Williams) Those are isolated incidents however. For the most part bball players are well respected by the community. Dont have to hide their business( maybe some sexual encounters with mistressess) and can sleep well at night. Well unless they have a nagging injury or are really compettive and cant stop thinking about a game or a play. Hell even players like Latrell Sprewell can choke their manager and continue to make millions of dollars even if it might not be enough to feed their kids. Well I digress since I'm way off topic and a bit rantish.

You could be addicted to freebie sites the same way.. and judging by your post count and TR you probably are

without even reading through the link I see that its for a drug rehab place.

Why not make smokers believe that the drug is addictive and the only way they can get help is through rehabiliation.

Since your making me elaborate my views I will.

Marijuana can be psychologically addictive. The user may only feel joy when he's high. Obviously this isnt the case for all users. Marijuana to the user may be a sociable thing to do while with friednds.

Now what do I consider an addiction

How about doing coc, crack, meth, or heroin just to get by during the day. Like you cant go with out it. Your body will break down and will need the drug. This is a sad addiction where a user may not be able to function normal activities without being high ( ie at work or finding a job)

Mari has none of these effects. In fact I've never had to smoke weed just to get by at work. In fact I haven't smoked since last night. Although getting home and sparking up a bowl may be desirable, I've yet to show any uneasiness in my personality or my body shutting down. In fact I appreciate the time at work and then enjoy the time at home much more. I have co workers who I suspect of massive cocaine use. Going to the bathrooom a whole lot and sniffing excessively while rapid talking aboput bs. Thats an addiction. Weed is not.

I think we need a new classification for addiction.

Just because someone desires something deosnt make it an addiction. There has to be a physical dependence on it relating to an addiction.

People like sex are they addicts?

No they get pleasure from the act and can function normally without it for a period of time. Well there are some freaks out there but hopefully you get my point.

People who like burgers/steaks are they addicts?

Id say no again. In fact not eating would make there bodies healthier. And Ive never seen someone break down physically from not eating burgers.

Bush claims were addicted to oil

No were not addicted. Its just a something we use very often. Like we couldnt go to work/ school or keep our lifestyle without the means of gas. In fact were reliant on gas not addicted. Poor choice of words from el presidente but what do you expect

yea.. weed isn't addicting.

and yea potheads ruin it for everyone. The only time I'm going to use it is when I only have one night to hang with my friends and I want it to last for awhile.

Special occasions. Not just whenever I feel like it.

Thus, I'm not addicted.

Although, I do think that if it is made legal, it should be limited by laws like alcohol, or cigarettes. Which means that people my age shouldn't do it. 18 and older is good.

good2speed, couldn't have said anything you put down better man....thx for filling in this averagejoe character for me while i was at work man.....anyways, a quick two cents....

weed can put you in jail, but it shouldn't....its no more harmful than cigarettes IMO, actually cigarettes are more harmful for you because of their physical addiction, sure pot contains much more tar, but there's a little invention called a vaporizer....plus as long as you are smart with it and do it in a safe way/environment, then you will never harm anyone else nor get in trouble for it....

Which why it should be legalized. The main reason people don't do it is because of the legal consequences, not necessarily because of any ill effects of the drug itself.

Well...I guess you've never smoked pot, because that wouldn't work. Most people can act sober while high, ESPECIALLY in front a cop. Ever hear of a "buzzkill"? Yea that's what it does, kil your buzz.

Pot isn't a big deal and this grow op is so sick.

When it comes down to it, we put a lot of bad things in our bodies. I'd say pot is less harmful than alcohol. Stoners don't go home and beat their wives, they go home and eat cheetos. Stoners wouldn't spend their last buck in the world on weed, alcoholics would absolutely spend it on booze.

lol, that's crazy. There was a house here that was raided one time because people could smell it on the road coming from the house! They had hundreds of plants growing in the attic.

I think the people who rent out our basement are growing pot. Either that or they're potheads because it just reeks of weed down there.

LOL. Yea maybe with like teenagers that never got high before.

Half the people I know smoke on a regular basis, you can't usually tell. Not like they're tripping or something.

Most of the time people force themselves to act goofy, acting how they think it should be

Veek may be right, if it was their first few times getting high. I know at least the first 5 times I did it, I really couldn't control myself, no matter how hard I tried.

Also.. its legal in a couple US states as well.. and Canada.. and lots of other places[/quotecc81d9bd6c]

Just to dispell the urban legend.

It is not 'legal' in Canada. It is unofficially tolerated by the authorities in most major Canadian cities. You can still get arrested and charged for possession anywhere in Canada if the cop you encounter is not having a good day.

Even in Holland, its not 'legal.' It's just tolerated. The cafes bring in tourists so the industry is allowed to continue operating for that reason.

Yea wasn't that pot-growing mesageboard shut down? overgrowing or overgrow or something

I remember reading the servers were in Canada but the police seized the servers (which I guess had logs of active commercial grow ops). How dumb do you have to be to grow pot and then post pictures of it on the internet.

Maybe Canada is getting fed up. Vancouver is ridiculous though, if you trip and fall in most parts of vancouver you'd land on an ounce.

Well, Canada is tolerant, like I said. On a small scale, the authorities just let it be because they don't feel its a problem. Of course, large scale operations are still taken down because of the status of the substance in question....

But the substance is NOT legal in Canada as many people seem to think.

I just wanted to make that clear.

And yes, I've had a friend in the past so was so into smoking weed that he wouldn't even buy anything else but weed. You should have seen what he looked like.

Well, he is/was undoubtedly a minority of those who consume.

I have never met someone who was as desperate for their bud as a meth addict would be for their crank.

Lol. Either have I.

Would be hilarious though to see a pothead all strung out like a meth addict.

I'd have to slap em a few times. What the hell is wrong with you.

The only side effects of weed are

intense appetite
may laugh too hard
may cause some short term memory loss . ( what was I talking about again?)
slight paranoia - might be NYtrate reason for sobering up. Getting pulled over while high does suck. I could have no weed on me and have done nothing wrong and I'd still be a little nervous. I actually got pulled over recently in Ohio by a state officer while high. Had a 1/2 in the trunk. Think I tried to convince the cop that I slowed down before he could radar me. Cop thought that was slightly funny and just wrote me a ticket and let me on my way. Car must've reeked.
intense fatigue
red eyes


I also recall a kid from hs who got so high he called the cops on himself and told them he was too high. My friend is the one who sold him his shit and was nervous as helll that the kid was gonnna rat him out.

[quote31ee97ff1c="good2speed"]Making a mil off weed is pretty hard work for an individual. You'd need lawyers to help you launder that money. Youd need to pay staff ( growers and your street runners. By the time you pay everyone off I highly doubt youd be in the mil range from selling weed. Maybe close buts its an awful lot of work for an occupation with so many hassles. Is this guy paying off cops? Is the property where he grows in his name? Do rival gangs/mafia know of his operation and want him wiped off? If cops don't get paid does he sleep well at night knowing this whole operation can be shut down tomorrow? Does he think about jail? does he think about having felony convictions on his record so that once hes realeased from jail there will be very little legitamite finacial opportunities available to him?[/quote31ee97ff1c]

You don't necessarily need lawyers to launder it...bankers and a good network of corporate soldiers will do. I do pay staff, I am paying off cops, and the property is in my name. Rival gangs/mafia know and fear my operation. I don't think about jail, nor do I think about the consequences of my actions. Nonetheless...how did these people get pictures of my shit? Guess I'm gonna have to do some "housecleaning" with "my little friend" later.

I'm with most here... weed is not addictive, in a physical form. From a mental view, almost anything can be addictive... food, water, sleep, cell phone use, exercise, freebie sites, video games, soda...etc.

Seeing those pics makes me wonder why we don't legalize pot. It was legal up until 1937 in this country and the best way to combat underground operations like this is to legalize it. I know a lot of people may disagree, but if it's regulated (not by the tobacco or pharmacutical companies) and taxed, that money can go to better uses, other than our government wasting tax dollars looking for these kinds of operations.

I'm still against using and driving (same with alcohol or any other drug). Responsible and recreational use I have no issues with.
