The investigators searched 11 different fields...after obtaining a search warrant,...They swept through 459 acres of land...The plants were grown under the appearance of a legitimate hemp operation, the sheriff’s office said.

Samples of the plants were tested to determine their level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The levels tested “well above” the legal 0.3 percent limit for industrial hemp production, essentially making the plants cannabis, authorities said.

Is cannabis illegal in Calif?

Getting him down off the windmill is the hard part. Taking a trip and never leaving the farm is the easy part. :)

If growing it for sale (real pot, not hemp) you have to conform to state rules and pay taxes at several steps along the way, along with lab testing for purity and safety (pesticide residue levels, etc.). That said, yes, cultivation for sale and rec. use are legal.

Back in the 70’s there was NC sheriff in the mountains who let weed growers alone if they paid a “tax” directly to him.

If a person had a weed patch and didn’t pay the “tax” they’d get raided as soon as he found out it.

What went wrong in the first few millennia of civilization when it was legal?

Did FDR save the nation when his gang of Progressives banned it?

“If a person has a weed patch”. We’ll if we had a quit “whatever” weed patch, we could get rid of liquor, nicotine, and all the rest of the bad habits. Similar to a quit smoking patch. I’d build a tacos and Cheetos stand.

Shel Silverstein is profoundly saddened. At least he would be if he were alive.

Just a thought. If it is legal to grow your own supply...such as 6 plants in Colorado during the summer...then the stores and the taxes will not get done because the 6 plant person will have a years supply. The stores and therefore the taxes for the government will not happen. Therefore the sales of MJ may not happen as much during and after the harvest. MJ stock market prices may decline each year following the harvest.
