Well that does suck, but he broke the law. You play the game you run the risk.

hes been a very close friend of mine since 6th grade. most people up here do smoke but i havent since i was 17. you can have an ounce and up to 25 plants but selling any of tha is illegalsmoker wrote:you smoke....everyone in alaska does.....jk...
i have "friends" like that, everyone has friends like that. no biggie, just dont want to be there when the cops show up...
I feel your pain my good man. I am sorry to hear about your friend and his father, but it sounds more like an operation than just a neutral grow room. That is much more looked down upon than a personal grow, so I wish them the best. I am a member of NORML, supported of Erowid, and an avid student of neurobiology, psychology, sociology of drugs, etc. The sad part about that article to me was that at the very end it says something like "On Tuesday, police busted a methamphetamine lab, making their second bust in 2 weeks".
Now, from a law standpoint, and from an ignorant standpoint, raiding a marijuana grow and a meth lab are identical. They are both breaking the law, and both "manufacturing drugs". I've taken philosophy, and I'm very much able to look at any issue from all angles, and I completely see the law angle in their statement, and from that angle it is true.
From a realistic standpoint and an educated standpoint, to look and interpret the information without constraints of law, they are apples and oranges. A marijuana grow involves nothing more than light, air, water. Now there is danger in large grows because of the intensity of the light and the heat, but therein lies the only danger. And that is only if its an indoor grow (which most of America's are for stealth reasons because of legality). If its an outdoor grow like most of the world outside the US, then we are talking mother nature, nothing more than growing a vegetable or other plant.
A meth lab is such a different story. It involves HIGHLY toxic and HIGHLY flammable chemicals. It involves heat not from an indirect source like light, but for the purpose of direct heat. It involves tweakers, people who have nothing to lose and will do anything for money, meth, or even crack. These people rob and steal like its nothing, place little value on life, and are dedicated to tweaking. I live in the meth capital of the US and my work is by the railroad tracks and a very poor part of town, I see these people everyday. Now...These chemicals arent kept around after manufactured, they are disposed of in sewers, lakes, rivers, drains, etc. They are dumped.
I didn't want to go for the whole "marijuana should be legalized" so I thought I'd bring up a different point. It's sad that the war on drugs is so ignorant and vague. In a country when Tobacco (kills 475,000/yr), Alcohol (kills 100,000/yr) are legal, and Opiates are prescribed myopically and given away like candy in forms like morphine, hydrocodone, oxycontin, vicodin, percocet, endocet, codeine, these are all derivatives of opium, and are SOO incredibly highly addictive. They also produce the most agonizing withdrawal symptoms of any drug. Not to mention they work on the opiate receptor found in the brain-stem, making very easy to overdose, especially combined with alochol. This is what makes marijuana so beneficial. The "pain relief" cannabinoid receptors found in the spinal chord vs. the brain stem for opiates makes the pain relief from marijuana non threatening to vital bodily functions.
Anyways enough with opiates, how about anti-depressants? There are hundreds of commercials on that I see EVERYDAY:
Do you feel tired?
Do you not enjoy things you used to?
Are you having trouble sleeping?
The major pharmaceutical companies controlling America are just throwing out vague symptoms to get any of the SHEEPLE of the US get addicted to their drugs. Anti-depressants are the biggest bunch of bullshit. They deprive people of their real power to help themselves, and give people a false sense of what the situation in their brain is. "depression is a chemical imbalance, its genetic...blah blah". Gives you the impression its something you cant control without a pill, and that is complete BS. Your body is an amazing system and can be controlled and influenced by intent and conciousness. You can help yourself, you just need the right tool.
So to end, I'm not trying to advocate for any certain drug, but point out the paradox in a country when these types of drugs are not only legal but heavily advocated for by "doctors" and "medicine companies", yet a drug like marijuana which stands at the bottom of the charts with 0 deaths/yr is not only illegal, but is responsible for a large portion of the prisoners in jails while rapists and molesters are let go for lack of space.
Over and out Goose.
