in the US the judicial and law enforcement get a % of the seized money. AND If you are accused, note not proven, of selling/ distribution or manufacture of pot they can sell your stuff BEFORE you even go to court! there was a good special w/ dateline or something called 'pot of gold' that showed what a racket was and examples of them taking this old guys money he was going to buy farm equipment w/, he even had the paperwork, but the police and court system said the money was to buy drugs
mushrooms are VERY easy to grow as well and since they require so little light there's not much electrical costs as long as you have a warm temperature and high humidity....or so I've heard
ya, I remember a story in High Times years ago about a cancer patient that was growing 4-5 plants in a closet at his elderly mom's house...the seized EVERYTHING...this old lady was destitute, he was in jail with cancer...
It bothers me that people dont consider it a worthy issue...
The drug war propaganda is still rampant...there was a recent case in my city, in which a guy killed two people while driving intoxicated...
there were footnote-mentions in the media about ativan, paxil and other drugs...
the trial and coverage focused on pot alone, to the point that the bias was the subject of a local dj's popular daily rant...the day it aired, the guy was sentenced....it was the cover story on Saturday...
the page 5 article had a huge, bolded headline reading "KILLER POTHEAD OFF TO JAIL"...not ONE single mention of Paxil, Zyprexa or Ativan in the article.
Guess that's what I get for picking up a Sun :rolleyes:
You think its expensive now? Not that it will ever happen, but, if it is made legal, your gonna be looking at 5 maybe 10 times what you pay now with the tax included my friend.

Here's Norml's response to the pre-sentencing coverage (before the outright pharma-omission post-sentencing):

I know a person that abuses Ativan, and have known people on Paxil...Ativan can fuck you up...and Paxil? It's fucking Paxil! WHY the focus on weed?
(ah, that felt good, thank you)
lucky africans!
