Anna looks like the borg queen…
Darth vader ur a dumb fukk for even mentioning that marijuana is dangerous
than alcohol and that it causes “HIV” u must be the most idiotic person
next to these other fucking people that are miss guided about the effects
of marijuana, cigarettes are worse than marijuana causes lung cancer and
even DEATH so shut ur fucken un educated ass up okay do america a favor and
go drop in a ditch
I still find it hilarious that our government made a plant illegal.
Seriously it can pretty much grow anywhere, yet we spend billions of dollar
to eradicate it’s existence and use.
It’s a guaranteed losing battle
Of course he won’t get a harsh sentence. No one cares about marijuana laws
here, even the cops.
Funny. I misread the title. I thought it said “Obama busted for growing pot”
Surprisingly, I wasn’t really shocked.
Legalize everything. Fuck the law and government. Let’s make this a FFA
…Its always easier to destroy the “little guy’s weed” before you legalize
it. Its “weeds” out the competition with the corporation. Seriously…
almost every state that has legalized it has done it before legalization…
Not saying this is the case… but something to think about…
Mans life ruined for a weed. This country is so fucked up.
Legalize it.
Alabama Kush… Stoners who watch stoner movies will get the reference LOL
GOP just got a little cooler.
Send him to jail, for 5-20 years, just like they’d do with any black man
for a first time possession. Let’s see what kind of sentence they get…
Most of those 600 plants were Feral Hemp
If alcohol is legal so should weed
The thing about the GOP is.. they’re only against things as long as its
popular to do so. Nixon and Reagan brought us these mandatory drug
sentencing laws for things like pot.
This is sad. Instead of stepping down, he should have stepped up and owned
it. He should have helped spread the truth instead of allowing his party to
continue spreading lies. Now, he’s just a scared dog backing himself into a
corner when he could have actually had the support of several thousands of
people from both parties.
I’m pro-weed but I’m just saying he should get 130 years 10 years per plant
that is the law fucking bullshit that’s what stop me from growing my shit
make it fair or end this bullshit war on drugs it has failed
Weed is the devil’s tool and is a gateway drug that leads to other drugs
like heroine that kills a lot if people.
Kasparian has a kike nose.
The plant is called CANNABIS. Some people call the finished dry flowers
marijuana. Elite Connoisseurs just call them flowers. There are too many
“street” names to list i.e. weed,ganja etc. , but the PLANT is called
CANNABIS . Thank you
can we just legalize this shit all through america already?!?!
Tyt seems to forget okay ur growing weed in ur garden much like the people
that brewed their own alcohol in prohibition – like those people do u not
thing that some growers may be related to violent organised crime much like
the gangster of the 20’s/30’s
I agree with Darth Vader! Marijuana is the most dangerous drug. If you
smoke weed you will want to do hard drugs! That’s why it is called the
gateway drug. Hello people. Marijuana is Satan. Read the bible
It’s called hypocritical. The GOP is totally hypocritical in response to
THC. Another reason why the right wing will continue to lose at the polls.
and if they look even further into…. I wouldn’t be surprise other GOP
people were connected to this.
Oh lord legalize it already
Growing that bammer in bama. He will get off with probation . And this is
just evidence that EREBODY loves maryjane.
*Alabama GOP county chairman resigns after being arrested for growing
marijuana*

The chairman of the Alabama’s Cherokee County Republican Party resigned
this week in the wake of his arrest last Friday for growing multiple
marijuana plants on his property.
The Gadsden Times reported that 52-year-old John Loyd Ellis was arrested
after a routine marijuana eradication operation spotted the plants from the
air.
State party chairman Bill Armistead said that the Alabama GOP has no
comment about the arrest except to say, “We will allow legal and judicial
system to follow its course.”
Ellis has been charged with first-degree unlawful possession of marijuana
and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sheriff Joe Shaver told the Times that Cherokee County routinely conducts
marijuana eradication efforts in conjunction with the Alabama Bureau of
Investigation.
“We’ve always participated, as long as I can remember,” said Shaver, adding
that county officials found and destroyed some 600 plants in recent weeks,
although only one person aside from Ellis has been arrested.
More arrests, he said, will likely follow.
It’s ridiculous, legalize the shit! I live in Kansas which has some of the
harshest laws in the country when it comes to marijuana. Here in Kansas the
National Guard has a program that’s not really known about that much, nor
that the media reports on here at all, that has a drug czar and a drug unit
that flys 2-3 blackhawk helicopters over farmland during the summer looking
for marijuana and when they find some they document it and burn it and work
with the highway patrol so they can handle any arrests and prosecution (I
know this because I’ve witnessed it and my dad was a career officer in the
Kansas Army National Guard and he knew the guy in charge of it). I have
multiple sclerosis and it’s proven that it massively helps with a lot of
the symptoms and is one of the few diseases that all states that have
medical marijuana laws allow for its use in treatment of the disease
because it’s extremely beneficial for people with this disease. So, since
it’s illegal here and I don’t want to be arrested and take the chance of
getting up to 5 years for a simple minor possession charge, my only option
then is a $60,000 a year medication and then pain & muscle relaxer meds
that my doctor prescribes me that are way more dangerous and addicting than
marijuana. I find myself suffering through pain most of the time so I don’t
get addicted to pain meds when there’s a completely safe drug that can’t
kill you and destroy your kidneys and liver out there but I can’t use it
because it’s illegal here. End the madness and legalize it!!!!
Why would they burn it in the open air like that? Shouldn’t they use some
kind of well-contained furnace with a filtration system?
I mean, disregarding the risk of brushfire, wouldn’t they want to keep such
an illicit substance as marijuana out of the environment? Oooh, it might
poison the local wildlife and make them slightly hungrier than usual!
Just fucking legalise it already.
10 years is too light of a sentence for marijuana possession. In Turkey,
people who are caught with pot are imprisoned for life! That’s how it
should be. Pot is the most dangerous drug ever. It causes lung cancer, HIV,
debauchery, hopeless insanity, schizophrenia, and Bob Marley died of an
overdose off of it. Don’t smoke. If you do have an urge to smoke something,
then just stick with cigarettes since they’re nowhere near as harmful as
this evil devil drug. Even alcohol is less dangerous than marijuana.
I point the middle finger at the DEA assholes every time they do a flyover
to try and find pot plants. Fucking assholes wasting taxpayer money.
Fuk that thars devil leddus. Just last munth my wife was raped by one of
dem thar plants! Burn um all, burn um all two hell! Two all you dum
mutherfukers whos think marijuna is gud are branwashed dip shits. All you
need in ure life is some gud all budwiser, and jack daniels, but only jack
on special ocasions cuz we out here in ALABAMA! WOOOO! don’t need kno
alcoholicks
At least he wasn’t caught drinking a Big Gulp Soda in NYC. Yes Ana, “Fight
REAL crime” like sugary soft drinks.
so they “destroy” the “drug” by doing the same thing the “criminals” would
do? it amazes me that the cops dont know if u want to really destroy THC
(the active element in pot) u soak it in water
Let me have my vices and I’ll let you tax them.
What!? I’m from Alabama I’m appalled!
Ten fucking years! this country is fucked
I dont know how to feel about this lol
End the prohibition yes, end the prisoner for profit system first
Cost of helicopter surveillance is US$750/hour + 2*pilot salary at about
US$250/hour (US$750,000,000 per year for 8 hour days 5 days per week and 50
weeks per year), cost of incarceration is $28,893.40 per year. Do the
people of Alabama really want those costs?
did anyone else read the title of this video as “Obama Got Busted For
Growing Pot”?
what if he moved to colorado or washington before he goes to court?
People who say weed is bad for you are nuts. No worse than smoking, and far
less damaging than alcohol. If you support the prohibition of marijuana,
surely you should support the prohibition of tobacco and certainly
alcohol.
Ana had no problem with Bloomberg’s ban on sodas!! (comment worth
repeating!)
Just another example of the USA’s anti-drug religion being forced on, and
doing harm, to free people.
“We will allow legal and judicial system to follow its course.”
ARE THEY NOT MERCIFUL?
