No, no. That's cool. Read it this morning. Eased my mind a lot. I still think the feds are idiots though. All that and they only got 3 pieces of jewelry? I wonder how many pigs wives have new necklaces now? And confiscated over $2 mil. cash. Except for the big bulges in their pockets. 
That was a sincere thanks.

All I have to say is:
Sure is grand how legalization has stopped folks from going to jail over this plant...right?

Pretty neat. Decriminalization should have been our path.
Legalization has had few positives while extending the reach of the man imo.
Sounds kind of racist.
Maybe they should bust a bunch of white guys doing the exact same thing just to save face.

Sure as shit.
My guess is because it’s the rich guys that make the rules
Bingo. It's the problem with every industry under capitalism.
Money is undeniably power. Capitalism is a system for the unaccountable accumulation of money / power. The people with power make the rules, and.. Surprise! They make the rules to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else.
Capitalism demands that we put short term private profit before the long term public well being, and that's a HUUUGE goddamn problem.

Yet to even whisper that and you must be a socialist or even worse a communist.
My apologies, back to topic.
I'm definitely a Marxist, but specifically I'm a supporter of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism

Will this be the new tool to end personal home growing?
Home growers are going to be labled as shoring up the black market and will need to be eliminated.
Legal cannabis is funding the elimination of the black market.

... most likely, and they'll be using smartmeters and the PC threat of climate change to make sure the evil homegrower doesn't suck up energy resources that should be going to them.

city life. i date mostly latin & asian girls so i know people. big city north east, the asian guys i know were getting bunches of top shelf strains & letting it go for $1300 an elbow.
i cant compete with that & would rather scale back than sell peanuts.
for real, i hope they all go dry as a result of busts like this... and even better... not gonna even sell them a gram or help these guys in any way for undercutting the rest of us so hard.
hope they loose every client too.
and those fuckers can go w/o smoke forever!
still, if these are american citizens, operation bust china or whatever, & regardless of ethnic background, i have a problem with a government motivated by forfeiture, lying cops with bogus warrants obtained via fraud affidavits, and more.
the system is "kangaroo" until they get your ass on lock & you're trying to go home !

Answering this from earlier in the thread. I was a part of the home brew scene in SoCal, and many folks were over thier 100 gallon (200 per household) limits, I'd guess about a quarter. For this reason most people left the year off their bottle labeling, because this is a "per year" maximum.
Selling was verboten in the community, as the licencing/tax board wasn't to be trifled with. Most worked on the barter / gift giving system instead so no money would be exchanged.

YEP-Greed rule out again....
