Someone help me out here. If the farms are on public land, does that mean they have to share?

They will probably share from their machine gun clip with you. I met a Ranger a couple years ago who had been shot on Mt. Umunhum in a raid there in 2005.

Not by this Californian. I’d consider bringing weed killer on my next hike, but I might be tempted to do something that would get me shot.

Field growing is the poor man’s way. Here in the Bay Area and San Joaquin Valley the trend is to use upscale houses as nurseries. Recently one Asian gang was implicated in the purchase of dozens of houses used for growing pot.

And both senators running for president voted against the Cornyn amendment, which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:

I understand what you're saying. I have the opportunity to work on some land that borders hundreds upon hundreds (if not thousands) of Illinois forest preserve land.
I'm the sort of guy that likes to roam, but I'm smart enough to wonder whether wearing blaze orange is enough.

Legalize and pot will be grown on farms by farmers instead of by violent criminals on public land.
Prohibition has turned a ditch weed more valuable than gold. A ditch weed that should be cheaper than tobacco or basil.
You don’t see Mexican cartels setting up Tobacco grows in our forests.

Too much profit for all concerned in the WOD. That’s why they don’t want to legalize or close the border.

To: nickcarraway
Just regulate it so tax paying American farmers can grow it and take all those billions of dollars from organized crime. The better we do at policing our borders, the more marijuana we’ll see being grown here. That’s just a fact. The way to stop all this clandestine growing is to legalize it and let law abiding farmers grow it.
