Growing Pot To Fight Terrorism

[Matt Collins]

A man busted for growing marijuana in Trousdale County said he was helping the country fight terrorism.

Authorities found 283 plants at a home on Middlefork Road last week.

They have not released the suspect's name, but the sheriff said the man told him he had seen former President George W. Bush once say that people who buy drugs off the street were supporting terrorism, so he decided to grow his own.

He has a great point actually. What could be more patriotic than enriching your country's economy by growing an agricultural product with extreme profitability and literally hundreds of industrial, medical, religious, and recreational applications? If I recall correctly, there were actually laws in some of the colonies prior to prohibition mandating that farmers grow hemp.

[pvnole89]

Well played, he will make a great lobbyist once he's out of jail. As we will see this November in California, we are winning the drug war, not the government.

Bump!

[BlackTerrel]

I love the guys response and it made me laugh.

But it pisses me off that this guy is going to be in a jail cell for a number of years now. He is a danger to no one yet we take away his rights and spend our money and resources to do it.

War on drugs is the shittiest war of all.

[AtomiC]

Good luck to you cornbread!

You have a good case because they invaded your home without a search warrant. So all evidence obtained should be dismissed.

[Kregisen]

Good look cornbread

[cornbread]

well,you would think,it would of been dismiss in the motion to suppress hearing,but when you got a bias judge,what can you do,but try to take it over his head,you no,i wasnt hurting anyone,i was growing my own smoke,i wasnt selling anything,just want to smoke weed that i new how it was being grew,it was all organic,but its not all about marijuana,its about our rights in our homes,an the way the drug task force can change there stories,in court,from what they had in there reports,one lie after another,but thats ok,im a fighter,an i no,im facing alot of time,they offered me 8 years,an you no what i told them to do with that dont you,we as a people need to grow some back bone an stand up for our rights,why cant people see that.

[Matt Collins]

Cornbread, what kind of assistance do you need?

[dannno]

8 years for growing a plant our founding fathers grew.. I'm sure they are turning in their graves!!

[cornbread]

does anyone out there still believe in our civil rights,that the drug task force cant enter your home when u so no,if you dont have a search warrant you cant go in my home,they handcuffed me an went on in,found 283 marijuana plants,then went an got a warrant,im fighting this for all our rights,not just mine,come fight with me on this.

[cornbread]

i dont really no,i want the truth out there,but cant have my name in it,i got to keep a job to pay my lawyers,if my name gets out now,i want have a job,between a rock and a hard place,its all about the truth an our civil rights.its bad when the judge you are fighting your case in front of start the drug task force when he was a da.and was on the board of drug task force for 20 years,and is personel friends with the drug task force,when my lawyer caught them in lies,and they came in my house without a warrant when i told them no,not without a search warrant,and the judge said thats ok.were is our rights in all this,i prepared to go all the way with this in court,for everones rights to be secure in our homes,you got any ideas

Marijuana should be fully legalized... the problem is the corruption and politics surrounding this plant. If you recall, Nixon created the DEA to 'combat' this plant—which is a schedule I substance and Cocaine is a schedule II.... In my opinion, Marijuana should not even be classified as a controlled substance; however, it should be regulated just like alcohol.

sadly this is why the dea and many us gov agencies have 0 credibility! Marijuana over Cocaine makes the dea and anti-marijuana folks a laughing stock of the country and world!! I disagree with regulation like alcohol. It is a plant, let us regulate tomato's? oo yeah we kinda do!! alcohol is a man made process, marijuana is a natural process!! No need to regulate marijuana if we can grow in the garden!! let it grow!! I have to say i do support some regulation at state level to protect their citizens from the us gov and their lies of 75 plus yrs!!

i battle with any regulations but the medical card saved my ass in dc as some rpf members know:) Which is why i do not worry about having marijuana when i am legal 100% in Colorado!! There are freedom pockets in different areas of our country!!

Hey, man. Keep fighting the good fight and don't let the court system/prosecution railroad you. If you think there's a conflict of interest going on with the judge having been in the drug task force, I'd ask your attorney if there's any chance you can get a change of venue. If there's anything we in the liberty movement can do to help you out, please let us know!

[cornbread]

thanks to everyone,and the change of venue want work,the judge has to agree to it.

Hemp Seed Protein contains all 20 known amino acids including the 9 essential AMINO ACIDS our bodies cannot produce. Hemp protein unlike soy has no tryspin inhibitors and oligosaccharides which block protein absorption which cause stomach upset and gas. 65% of the protein in hemp seeds is made up of the globulin protein Edestin and is found only in hemp seed. Edestin aids digestion, is relatively phosphorus-free and considered the backbone of the cell's DNA. The other one third of hemp seed protein is Albumin, another high quality globulin protein similar to that found in egg whites. Contains a perfect ratio of Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Vegan / Vegetarian product.

i can tell you 283 plants sounds like alot but once you trim and cut bud and depending on strain and location. If your not trimming,cutting and managing your crop on a daily basis etc etc, then your total amount of smokable marijuana is not as much as you would think. It is not like marijuana grows on trees and just comes to a baggie all nice;) There is alot of work to get marijuana from a to z! Alot of the plant can also be used to make butter and bubble hash!! That takes work to!! If indoors you can control the environment and get bigger yields etc etc!! My wife has a card and can grow 100 plants if she wanted to! problem with indoor growing is cost of lighting and enough space! i think danno can back me up on these points! people should be lucky it costs only 200-325 an ounce considering all the work that goes into it labor/time etc etc!!! If you properly dry marijuana. It can be stored for years!!! the numbers on 283 plants is not as much as you would think unless your a pro!

Yep, to get big yields on individual plants you can't just plant a bunch of seeds in a field and let it grow like hemp.. You have to prune, setup support systems and closely monitor and fertilize them properly.. Doing so saves a lot of time on trimming, because you will end up with bigger buds with fewer leaves to trim, rather than a lot of smaller buds with many leaves to trim.

Trimming, drying and curing also make a huge difference in the quality, it can make or break the harvest.

I think I might plant some in my garden this year just to see if I can grow it.

Hang in there cornbread. Shoot me a P.M. if you need any particular assistance; I'm only about 2 hours south of you.

Be careful, if you plant the right strain in the right part of the season you could end up with 8-10 foot tall plants, they might stick out a little..

If you can get some kush strains and plant them sometime in June, then by September you should have some nice, not too gargantuan plants to harvest that should produce pretty well.

I had ONE little 3 foot plant out in my front yard last winter in a small greenhouse, and by the time harvest rolled around you could smell it throughout the entire front yard and probably out into the street sometimes.. Last fall there were several plants out in the backyard and you could always get a whiff walking down the street in front of the house..and part way down the block.. luckily it is legal here so the main, or at least equal concern to cops raiding would be thieves.

plus if outside gotta watch the pests etc and other issues that can happen even mold if you have high humidity! They will grow on their own of course, it is a weed hehe but it needs loving like a lil baby:) every grower out there earns every bit they grow! Growing Marijuana will make you a better farmer and Gardener! didn't want to grow food myself until i started growing marijuana!! you will want to put sometype of fencing around them to or your local animals will eat your crop;) wire fencing works fine!! if you have any questions i am sure danno or me can help you;)

you no exactly what you are talking about,an yes i was growing on the inside,and it is a lot of work,but its well worth the work,you no what you are smoking,not that bullshit coming out of mexico,that shit is garbage.they police and court system act like i killed someone,its a plant,whats the big deal,and why is it that when they talk about making it legal,all you hear is how much money the government can make off of it,so what they are saying is its bad for you,but as long as we can make money off of it,its not that bad,one its not bad for you,i have been smoking for 38 years,i have always worked and paid my bills,they act like people that smoke are sorry people,this government isnt for the people,there for there self,no matter what the out come is on my charges,im going to fight til i cant fight any more,for all our RIGHTS.

Stop terrizom!grow your on marijuana. Ron paul for president 2012 for the people by the people

[squarepusher]

no,i was just growing for my self,i wanted to grow enough to last me for a while........

283 plants even at a low yield of 1.5 oz per plant is 26+ pounds, even at an extremely high usage of 1 oz per week, this would last for over 8 years in one 2 month flowering cycle. Please don't try to pull the same bullshit that you are using in your trial to get you off, among people who are supporting you and are on your side here. I do not think you should goto jail for dealing or selling this plant, don't get me wrong.

[cornbread]

they were not all in the flowering stag,i had alot in veg an alot of clones,i wanted to grow alot to last me a while,i didnt sale anything,they got me charge with cultivation,not sales,and it isnt bullshit,i have no reason to lie,the facts speak for there self,they enter my home without a warrant,because they didnt have enough cause to get one before,the facts are the facts,i got it all in writting,if you sit down an read an seen the things going on in this court,you would see what im talking about,im not asking people for anything,except to listen to the truth an facts,i new i was breaking the law,but wasnt hurting any one,but i could still get up to 30 years for plants,that crazy.

I agree that going to jail for plants is crazy, but your telling us that you have 238 plants for personal use? That's a tough story to swallow. I know you are going to say that in court as your defense, but I think its hardly plausible.

You should go the Jury Nullifaction route: ie: unjust law should not be enforced or prosecuted

[cornbread]

well,man believe it or not,im 47 an its the first time i have grown,so i was learning as i went,didnt no how much i would harvest,i was learning by trail an error,i not trying to get off of the charges saying anything about it was just my personal smoke,i was trying to beat it because of the way they came in,they expect us to obey the law,but they dont,my 4th amendment right,they are suppose to have a search warrant,what is jury nullifaction,what state are you in.

Im in Cali, we have medical marijuana laws here, Jury Nullification

Fully Informed Jury Association (http://fija.org/category/jury-nullification/)

Jury Nullification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification)

Jury Nullification is, when you get the jury to say the law was unjust, therefore they vote you not guilty regardless of the crimes. For example, back when it was illegal to harbor escaped slaves, someone went on trial and Jury Nullification is used, so the Jury says that even though you broke the law, we think the law is unjust so we vote you innocent anyways.

Jury Nullification is a great way to keep the system in check and prevent unjust laws.

[cornbread]

need some help with this court shit,they are trying to railroad me,weres my rights when i need them.

[cornbread]

Hello All.

This is Cornbreads Wife, Just to let you all know he pled out at 8 years at 30% they said if he took it to trail they would ask for 30 years and in a small town they would make it happen just like the REBA song the judge in the town has bloodstains on his hands the governemnt does not care about small town so all people here get railroaded unless you were born and raised here. he was told if he had 30,000 dollars it could go away, why is that? Why should how much money you give them lessen the crime???

He is a Good Man and has done nothing to justify 8 years when people are out there creating the DEVIL DRUG (METH) that could kill anyone in the area that it is being manufactured and destroys peoples lives and the human body from the inside out. our Government has became a TYRANY enough said................
