when it comes to government, our efforts are futile for the most part. you can fight for freedom of cannabis use, but know your doing it for future generations, its not gonna change much for you. however, if your more concentrated on living your own life to the fullest, then who cares what the government thinks? did u care when your parents dissaproved of your pot smoking? do u care about speeding 20mph over? basically what im saying is, if you dont agree with the government, then dont be patriotic. closed minded people are too much to deal with. they're definately not worth my time. i realize this Gary fellow wasn't doing anything wrong when he was busted and that can be very frustrating, but maybe he should have thought about opening his shop in Canada. hydroponics shops are checked up on by police in most areas, especially in the USA since they're still all gungho about pot there. my dealer had his car searched after a cop pulled him and his buddy out of a fight a few weeks ago. he sat in the cruiser and watched the cop pull his 2 ounze bag out of his glove compartment. the cop put the bag in his pocket, let my dealer out of the cruiser and said to him "this night keeps gettin better n better, i hope u have a ride cause ur cars stayin here for the night". theres plenty of places that respect peoples ideals, whether they agree with them or not. the USA just isnt one of them.
