I know this is not fishing related, I thought you guys might find this interesting.

Humboldt County Sheriffs Department, Eureka, California
PRESS RELEASE.........

Early this morning Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies arrested two men after finding them transporting 17 pounds of marijuana. At about 1 am a Sheriff's Sergeant conducted a traffic stop on Myrtle Ave, Eureka. A records check revealed the driver Robert Lightner, 27 of Arcata, had 5 outstanding bench warrants. The Sergeant arrested Lightner while a second deputy arrived. Lightners passenger, Michael Demko III, 36 of Mckinleyville was asked to step out of the vehicle, a pick up with a canopy. Deputies conducted a probation search of the truck. While searching the cargo area the deputies found a case containing a large amount of dried, processed marijuana bud. The marijuana was packaged inside 17 plastic bags each marked with its weight (1 pound) and the strain. A digital scale was also found. Both suspects were arrested for possession of marijuana for sales, and transportation of marijuana for sales. At the time Lightner was serving time on the Sheriff's Work Alternative Program and was ineligible to post bail. Demkos bail was set at $50,000."



ok as was pointed out, lightner was on work release with 5 outstanding warrants?

the cannabis was in 17 bags marked with strain and weight?
now wtf? would some one do that?
oh, my guess would be that they were bound for a cannabis dispensery which are legal i believe in california? maybe? ya think?

Wow, those are not the responses I was expecting. Commercial cultivation of marijuana is effecting rivers, ie fishermen. Streams are dammed for irrigation. Diesel, and oil from generators leak into streams. Not to mention all the commercial fertilizers, and chemicals that are introduced into the water shed. Sorry if you think making a small dent in this problem is LAME."



now this post just cracks me up
how many lawnmowers,weedeaters,trucks,cars,boats,airplanes,jets,trains,motorcycles,copcars,swatrigs, and helicopters to name a few that pop up not to mention the pesticides and fertilizers from the largest agricultural area in the world that pollute california and a couple knuckleheads growing some pot sloppily is your argument?

Down here we have a considerable amount of crime associated with commercial marijuana cultivation. As an example, recently a man was murdered about 2 miles from my house during a marijuana home invasion. I oppose the commercial cultivation and sales of marijuana. Its a CRIME. In California it is legal to use Marijuana with a doctors recommendation, a law I voted for. I have lived in the community I police for my entire career, and feel very connected to my community. I encourage differing opinions, and enjoy the debate. A closed mind is a waste."


1st off, a home invasion is a home invasion so that cannabis was involved is a red herring and you know that
2nd, you say you voted for the medical use of cannabis yet you seem proud to remove the same cannabis that appears destined to the compassion clubs where the medical patients get their cannabis?
it all seems hypocritical to me but that's just my opinion and nothing more
regarding being connected to your community?
you probably are, at least to the members that would actually talk to you but you already know there is a huge community within that looks at your like a leper and won't talk or help or even piss on you if you were on fire and that's mostly due leo's tactics and propaganda in the failed war on drugs

fyi, i don't smoke cannabis but i know plenty that do and most of them are good people doing good things
if you want to do the right thing? bust some meth labs


fwiw
