How Does Your Garden Grow?

Filed under: Drugs > Busted!

cheech__opt1.jpg

Smoker's paradise lost!

According to a new report, a California sheriff's helicopter patrol guided deputies to a $150 million marijuana garden in the Hemet, CA area on Wednesday.

The 'garden' was first spotted on Monday.

Authorities say the marijuana was in various stages of growth and a substantial amount of the pot was ready for distribution.

There were no arrests.

Are they really going to let all those good plants go to 'waste'?

    of course not. the cops will divvy it up and sell/smoke the majority of it.



  11. 11

    if its in CA, they should just leave it alone and let it be used by medicinal patients… its really a shame they wont put them to any kind of use. smoking or not, it has various other uses

    Cheech Marin has turned his life around, since the days of Cheech and Chong….and, to use his photo for a 'copy and paste' story (WHICH YOU DIDN'T EVEN WRITE) about a multi-million dollar marijuana find, is reprehensible.
    Perez, you are the typical fag….you will do whatever it takes to discredit, disown and disappoint anyone who stands in the way between you and the almighty dollar.

    Andy is a cool studly dude. Just relax.



  23. 23

    You know Perez, I always thought you were anti-pot until I just read the last line of this entry. I heart the pot. But I also heart you, and I don't think you should ever make a mean comment about a smoking it. Moving on, seriously, please tell me they aren't going to waste all that beautiful green.



  24. 24

    uhm… cheech doesn't smoke pot no more… or that's what i heard like he's focusing on religion and such… so i think a photo of tommy chong would have been more appropriate since he is still rooting for the ganja :D



  25. 25

    Re: kakeys – you just proved my point…..

    I'm from the area, and I could've sworn hemet/san jacinto was hell! and nothing green could grow there =/



  35. 35

    Marijuana should be legal and the government should tax it. That would help our money problems. I think prostitution should also be legal and taxed. The government is so shady….



  36. 36

    What a horrendous waste! That's just terrible. It's fucking California, we've legalized the cannabis for medical use - so why do these asshole cops and/or feds got to worry about pot when there's a million other illegal activity to be concerned with?!!

    420 bitchez~!!

    Re: guilty of being white – I'm with you. But, I have to admit that if drug dealers and prostitutes 'took up residence' in front of my home, I would have to beat their asses to a bloody pulp, and bury them in my backyard (I live in the country, so I seriously doubt that anyone would look for them on my property).
    ~
    As far as I am concerned…..do what you want, where you want, when you want…as long as I don't have to go to the morgue (to identify your body), bail your ass out of jail or drive you to rehab every few days. Some of us DO have a productive life, after all.



  41. 41

    They need to stop destroying these beautiful plants that GOD put on this Earth.



  42. 42

    Oh, now you're promoting POT?
    .
    You condemn those who get caught - rag all over Patrick Swayze for smoking cigs - but you drink and smoke pot and that's okay??? You're openly approving this for your young readers?
    .
    SHAME ON YOU for being such a douche



  43. 43

    Ok, why are you guys putting his pic up, it wasn't his crop, just because he played a pothead doesn't mean readers should be misled into thinking it was his crop



  44. 44

    420 bitch!



  45. 45

    leave the weed alone…. go after the meth labs….

    Would someone please explain to me why every year, during August or September, there is a huge marijuana field bust somewhere in the U.S.A., that is originally detected by law enforcement helicopter patrols.
    .
    Are raw marijuana plants a unique shade of green that really stands out from surrounding foliage? Do the cops wear specially tinted glasses that allow them to detect the color of these plants from the air?
    .
    No wonder these guys are gardening marijuana indoors now with grow-lights.



  47. 47

    It's trully a sin against life and a waste to confiscate someone elses garden and do what with it Waste it? It's not pro-life just because you fight against abortion rights. Pro life means live and let live.



  48. 48

    Re: Jet

    I think indoor they can use infared and detect electricity usage. Outdoor I beleive its just a matter of the pigs flying low or getting a tip-off. Allinall it just becomes more obvious when its a large operation like this. Cops are aimed to take down moneymaking operations, whereby someone will make money without there consent, tax free. Hence some say why not legalize it and tax it?

    Re: dopeywithpopes – It's always convenient to twist meanings around, to suit a personal agenda, isn't it?
    I have news for you, though….Pro-Life revolves around bioethics. It is a term used to oppose euthanasia, human cloning, research involving human embryonic stem cells, the death penalty, abortion, and in support for fetal rights.
    Nope, I never heard of a 'weed toker' using pro-life as a legal defense.

    everyone who is bashing perez about putting this picture up needs to shut up. hello, he is running his business like a smart entreprenuer - he is simply attracting attention to a story. OBBVI it is going to be a picture that makes people think about the subject at hand. If u dont like it, then dont read!

    Back when I was a kid growing up in New Orleans, they would find a pot field and the police would burn it where it stood. It would be announced, time and location, on the local radio stations and people would herd themselves over there as if going to a parade, park, sit on top of their cars and enjoy the smoke.



  57. 57

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Send them to me!!



  58. 58

    they could make clothes and underwear with it and send to a poverty sticken country like haiti to help kids there.

    Re: HAMphetamine – i agree, people w/ drug addictions are not criminals. Jail is not the answer, its usually easier to get it in jail, not to mention most drug addicts are not suited well for that environment with all those murderers and whatnot. Its sad that weed is legal medically is some states yet if you have a presciption and your caught w/ weed you will still go to jail. There are people being raped and murdered and cops care about pot. unbelievable. legalize marijuana. its no worse than alcohol.



  63. 63

    Re: omgwow – for sure. The reason whythey will "dispose of it" is this. Even though medical marijuana is legal in a state, it only makes it a "state law" federal law prohibits use of marijuana, therefore the federal government has the upperhand. So if you have a presciption for marijuana and you are caught, you will still be arrested since according to "federal law" marijuana is illegal, so the state law does not apply. stupid is what it is



  64. 64

    Perez. Come up to Seattle for the finest 420!



  65. 65

    Of course it's not going to be destroyed, it's going the same way it always has, the U.S. will sell it to Columbia and Mexico, they will in turn smuggle back in, so that Americans, Legal and Illegal can buy it at a premium, then the police can arrest those users, charge them fines (read as profit for state) for having controlled substance, that person goes to jail (another fee), then off to court (which again carries a fee), and then the ruling (yet again, another fee or worse, if your dealing, prison time). Now when the prison sentence is issued that's the real profit, tax payers then pay to house these so called criminals (can I smoke my lawn?) in the over crowded prisons. Then we pay the staff at these prisons to make these prisoners do their jobs, which we already pay them to do. it's just a viscous circle contrived through many years of corruption and stupidity.
