What I find incredible is that distribution of any amount of a harmless substance like mj is a class 3 felony. Are you shitting me?

Thats a Life sentence! Not 7 years then get out.... Were talkin' FOREVER AFTER! Thats crazy as hell. To know that your gonna be jailed for a plant. If he broke the local laws,and went from Compasionate Caregiver,to Drug Dealer? Then Nuff said!That would be one of the reasons Feds are cracking down on all the dispenseries.. Corruption,One Bad Apple so to speak!

Since when is 150 pound worth a million ??????

[GaGrown]

Even if the plant is 8 inches tall... They value it a 1000 per plant.. In what world? If your a caregiver,then it's worth nothing to you until it;s finished buds! Then maybe a value can be in order..

$5800 a pound! Who knew prices got so high overnight.

@GaGrown, we don't believe that this is a sign of a larger action.

As the story indicated (25 pounds in a storage locker?), this operation wasn't exactly above the board
