The Daily Mail is to proofreading what the Weekly World News was to fact-checking.

For the record, I'm generally opposed to the whole idea of 'permits' issued by government...but I'll take a win where I can get it :)

If I ever decide to shoot down a gubmint drone, I certainly wouldn’t be dumb enough to buy a permit to do it.

I’d buy one just to frame and put it up on the wall.

having won their way on legalizing marijuana, libertarians are going to find out the govt enforcement of finding it and taxing it will meet or exceed any demands by a drug cartel

Baby steps toward liberty should be celebrated by everybody, because everybody is affected.

If you wish to be a "one-note-johnny" on pot, you're missing the point.

“The government” (which is flying drones over rural areas to look for “illegal” (untaxed) crops.... didn’t relent on pot rules to give you liberty

It did so to give itself tax revenue

enjoy your baby steps

I live in a tiny Colorado town at an elevation of 7,700 feet. Can drones operate at those kinds of altitudes?

Cauz, target practice.

Wrong, at least in Colorado. The govt opposed legalization but the people voted for it as an amendment to the state constitution.

Soemthing wrong with that?

The plant is more ubiquitous than dandelion. It was pure silliness to try to control it in the first place.

I don't understand why people want to do what they do with it, but I do know that it's none of the government's business.
