Burns police bust 'shroom grower, again

this is horrible =( I really am curious about the priors, that is a disgusting inhumane sentence for growing a personal about of a substance that is gaining more and more scientific support as a legitimate psychiatric medicine.

I'm all for being again the war on drugs, but that statement is so ridiculous... The government isn't to blame for cartels actions, it's greed.

And 8 years is ridiculous, I've contemplated growing mushys too but FUCK that.

Actually, it is the U.S govt which is largely to blame for all those deaths, all that corruption, and the break down of society in Mexico along with the civil war unleashed through American policies. It is the same in other countries such as Guatemala and similar - the U.S war on drugs has corroded these societies and fueled organised crime and corruption. When the chiefs of police and top generals in the army, or the drug czar himself is being prosecuted(take your pick of any number of countries down that way) for taking bribes from cartels, you know damn well that the U.S polices have brought that about! And those prosecuted officials are just the ones caught!

It's not like the U.S Govt is to blame for all those one million dead Iraqi's either is it? Or their other war in Afghanistan and all that suffering and destabalisation and corruption and lies and lies and more lies. When will the war mongering stop?

If the U.S just decriminalised or legalised cannabis alone, this would go a long long way to hindering the power of the cartels because around 50-60% of all the drug traficking comming out of Mexico is cannabis! But what do you know, "Lets keep cannabis illegal so that junior is introduced to meth, cocaine and heroin when he goes to buy his dime bag of pot".8)

lostpixels, what solution might you suggest other than stopping the U.S war mongering? Education? More guns? More apaches? More black water training? More cagings of 21yr old men who posess mushrooms? More money for the drug war? More propaganda? More of the same? How many Mexicans have to lose their lives before another policy is implimented? 30K? 50K? 100K?

If it was the case that this 21yr old man was caged for 8 years primarilly on the basis that he had in his possesion a fungus...what a very sick society indeed!
 
Congratulations, you grew a plant in the privacy of your own home for reasons of personal use. However we don't like that plant. We don't like that you can put whatever you want into your own body. You are now going to be put in a cage for 8 years. Bye, ttyl!!!

P.S. This is for your own protection. We know what is best for you. Don't question, don't resist.
 
It is my perception that psychedelic drugs in places like Tennesee are viewed as being more detrimental to the social fabric than other drugs like heroin, cocaine, maybe even meth. Wonder what the penalty for selling moonshine is in that state. Even though Kentucky is a huge producer of buds, I wonder if the view of your average Tennesee cop is any more enlightened than it would have been in 1972.

Having said all that, and heard stories of dead heads on tour finding shrooms growing wildly in states like Florida in particular and North Carolina, just wonder if fungi grows wildly in the cow patties of this state. Yea, this is a huge shame- but what was the guy thinking getting caught twice.

I think this turned out to be an urban legend but heads used to say that Cubensis would grow wild in Golden Gate Park in spots that the old school hippes new about and would grow after rains or irrigation, presumably by spores innoculated by some hippies in manure rich soil. Never saw it personally but always wanted to taste fresh shrooms.=D

There was enough going around in the surrounding neighborhood (upper haight.) back in the late 80s: despite the gentrification the neighboorhood was beginning to undergo.

The kicker is that he will probably become a real criminal after living amongst murderers and rapists in prison for 8 years. Oh, the irony.
 
This stuff just makes me sick, 8years for a handful of sickly looking shrooms he (or him and a couple friends) was going to eat. Just ridiculous.
 
bad karma all around.

take peace in the impermanence of earth when the entire lifespan of the universe is considered.
