Indiana state cops find pot plants as big as trees August 18, 2005 STILLWELL, Ind. -- Indiana State Police found 3,000 to 5,000 cultivated marijuana plants -- many as tall as small trees -- growing in a two-acre plot in rural northern Indiana. State Police said Wednesday that Patricio Bautista, 49, of Chicago was arrested at the scene and now faces federal drug charges. The plants were discovered Tuesday near Upper Fish Lake about 15 miles southwest of South Bend during a routine aerial survey. When police went to the area, they saw several people tending the plants. Bautista was arrested, but the others got away. ''We already have the evidence that these suspects were armed, in the marijuana plot with 5,000 plants and potentially $10 million worth of marijuana,'' State Police 1st Sgt. Mike Crabtree told South Bend's WNDU-TV. ''There was a potential for violence.'' He said the plants are about 8 feet tall and about one month from being harvested. ''They're 8-foot Christmas trees, is what they are,'' he said. State Police called it one of the largest cultivated marijuana busts in the state. AP DAAAAAAMN!
damn! FUCK! lol there go prices around here haha. 5000 plants? thats incredibly fuckin insane! wish i knew her
Sucks... Hardcore Fuck the police. When will they learn that their efforts aren't going to stop people from getting fucked up? They should have learned from alcohol prohibition. Fucking retards.
It's funny how they act like this well do anything other then make pot more desireable..lol "Yo you got any..naw I'm dry but damn that dude two towns over sure got the flame..." "Yep thats stoner economy for ya..." "hehe..yeah who wants to snap this double binger.."
From how I understand it, it's because alcohol prohibition failed that Marijuana prohibition flourished. The Fed Gov't had all these resources (people, departments) they were using during the alcohol prohibition that weren't going to be used after it was abolished, that was, until someone had the idea that they should treat MJ like they did alcohol and the Drug War began. I realized that paragraph isn't very clear, I guess you'd have to do some research because I can't explain things very well.
Well Anslingers sorry ass was just a racist fuck who hated the jazz scene and everything about 'niggers'. I recall seeing images on erowid of flyers an shit an newspaper prints he had going early on warning white folks about those jazz folks an their evil weed. Some even used the racial slur in dark bold print offset by white outlined for other text. Yep...basically the crimes against MJ truely outweigh any damage it has done if any..and it's all over money and bias opinion. Fuck anslinger in his ear...
That and he hated mexicans too. A lot of mexican immigrants were associated with violence in the SW, and he used that to boost the support for banning weed, because those violent mexicans were doing it because of the evil weed... I hate greedy racist fucks like that. It's people like that who truly deserve to be fuckin shot. EDIT: I don't know how true it is about those beurocrats not having something to do with the end of alcohol prohibition, so they went to weed... There was a pretty big gap of time between alcohol prohibition and weed prohibition.
damn. im moving back to IL shortly (i hope, court date is wensday i find out then) i sure hope prices to shoot up because of this
This war on a weed may have started as "them black jazz musicians gonna get our white women" back in the 30's, but today it is about money, money, money.
I'd like to see one high person fight another. "Shit man, I'ma punch you! "For real dawg?" "....Naw, not anymore"
Well, I got that from the documentary "Grass". It's kinda funny, I've watched quite a few documentarys on weed/hemp and each one paints a different picture of how things went down. Anyway, I recommend that movie, I think Blockbuster has it or you can get it online but not legally.
"Man...I'm like higher then you...wow" "no..no nah....you're na not man I can't feel my face" "*slap*" "dems fightin' wor....ooooo doritos!"
they just busted 2 really big outdoor grow ops in Manitoba. that one is like Trailer Park Boys where they have a few fields of huge super plants that Ricky accidently made, but ehn a few got busted but they still managed to harvest one field.
patricio bautista was able to make his christmas brighter by ratting on everyone he knew ,whether they were involved with the grow or not.
