"Marijuana gardens are a terrorist threat"

[hydrocannabis]

This is not very far from the truth, there is validity in the above article. But what is NOT mentioned here is the type of grows that are destroying the land and are armed by criminals.

As far as 'terrorists' I dont believe that they are guarded by Taliban or the typical muslim image that gets brought into mind, but by criminals who will kill you to protect theirs.

I live in Humboldt county, not far from Shasta and the problem in the mountains around the national forest areas is rampant, large drug cartels usually illegal mexicans are sent up here to grow large scale marijuana operations, I am talking thousands of plants outdoors, its not uncommon for 20,000 plants to be found and with that all the fertilizers, food debris, human waste, garbage, etc is all dumped into the streams and surrounding areas, they also set booby traps and divert water from streams which endangers fish and other wildlife.

Alot of these outdoor drug cartel grows also manufacture methamphetamine on site and just dump the chemicals wherever they see fit and the entire time these grows are being guarded by illegal criminals with guns, whose only job is to guard the plants for their bosses and get a payoff at end of the year

The above article did not mention the 'type' of grows that are the question here.

I agree with U there. but the GOV and the police still has no business bothering a home grower thats just growing for there selfs.
I mean am I right or am I right.

cuz then the home grower wouldn't have to buy weed off the streets.
thus keeping the drug crime rate down.

well thats my opinion on this.

Ya, he's not talking about home grows here. He's talking large, organized gangs, who do indeed clear vast areas for their huge grows. I've seen the terracing and it does do a lot of damage. Also, I wouldn't want to be the hiker that stumbles onto one these types of grows.

that's the united states government you're talking about...they'll never not want a penny more from big tobacco, big pharm, big oil...any of those very useful industries just have too much money to offer to our government...they use up our tax monies for other dumb purposes, like bushes war, so they have to make up somewhere, "hey, let's kill nearly half a million people every year by selling cigarettes...at least we get money out of it"

[Spoken Word]

I tell you what, my tax money probably funds more terrorism than buying weed.

My hat off to that comment... :thumbsup:
