Wonder if it was the smell that gave it away ? How does one get 2 to turn into 6 ?? Guess some forgot to say, I wish to speak with a lawyer.. end of conversation !!

Very interesting update. I'm always amazed at the leap in price of a clone. Dispensaries sell them for around $20-25.00, but here LEO has valued them at $1004.00 each. That would make my nine clones worth 9K in someone's mind, but I have no idea how much each plant would or could have produced. Enough to last me a while, but not to service anyone else.

Interesting, very interesting. :thumbsup:

Pretty big bust. SO why haven't they busted STeve Sarich's massive grow`?

They also broke the cardinal rule. The money and the plant is never to be in the same place.

They did when he got robbed and shot.. LEO left him with only 15 plants out of over 300 according to the MEDIA yet, the search warrant noted he was within the law after they searched his place and never charged him... think they got his girlfriend though, as all of the provider documents was in her name not his.. scapegoat style. makes ya wonder huh?

WTF are all these people from Washington bringing plants South for? Seems pretty stupid to take things across State lines...JMO Have friends in Oregon and Cali and I can guarentee they don't need our clones.

He has a large warehouse in Issaquah that most of the product gets grown in now. Its just curious that some small places get busted and they don't bust the big guy. I know what I can infer from that but I don't know the facts.

Its all part of the corrupt system of allowing LEO to set the value of these things. They figure a clone will mature and produce a pound of material because thats what the DEA tells them. So its not valued on its todays worth, its valued at what it MIGHT be worth 4 months from now. All part of the bigger lie that LEO is there to be your friend.lol

we're certainly not at a point where interstate is anything anyone in their right mind would consider; but, what i found interesting is the oregon leo who busted him NOTIFIED his residence jurisdiction, and THEY sent out a squad. can't even have privacy OUT OF STATE anymore. we need a "cascadia cannabis zone" so i can go to my yert in the south next winter, and home again here in cascadia next year, without all this.....

the guy was in it for the money. that's why he got busted. cannabis appeal to the greed in some.
love,
