GateHouse News Service Posted May 15, 2008 @ 03:47 AM TAUNTON — More than 700 pounds of pot, with a street value estimated at between $750000 to $1 million, was seized Tuesday night in the parking lot of BJ’s Wholesale Club on Bay Street. One man was arrested and 23 tightly-sealed bundles of marijuana were confiscated from a tractor trailer that had pulled into and parked in the Northwoods Crossing plaza near Interstate 495, authorities said. “It’s a very significant seizure,” Taunton Police Chief Raymond O’Berg said Wednesday. The bust was the result of a cooperative effort of local police, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Bedford Resident Office and other agencies, O’Berg said.

damn if i had a hard time lifting up my weed i would have tears of joy streaming down my face

Judging from the mugshot, it looks like the poor motherfucker growing was almost killed.
The thing is, if that is really pot, the only way you could kill someone with it would be to beat them on the head with those bags until they died from a massive concussion. Even if you forced someone to smoke an entire bag of that pot within an hour (if that would even be possible), they still would not die. Now, if they had seized bootleg alcohol and someone was forced to drink it, they would die very quickly, yet knowing that, alcohol is legal and pot is illegal? Something is wrong here…
he sed no comment to many times i think ders some weed missin o money
but even pot sellers are pretty chill , they dont want to kill anyone
well i gotta say arent you smokin good police officer.
Wow good job “DEA”. You are really “stoping” the drugs on the streets…. NOT..
Also..I can tell that this is fake.
good, allows me to make MORE money growing pot. keep raiding DEA, thank you.
This is stupidity on the cops side saying, “the last thing we want to see is somebody get killed.” with 700 pounds of marijuana taken off the streets, the price of the product must have shot up tremendously. So more people want to be in possesion with what is left, leading the things such as burglary and murder, not the cause of a plant but the cause of greed.
Fuck fuck fuck the Police… they will NEVER EVEr get rid of the weed.. haha the faster they take it the more gos out.. like i said THEY WILL NEVER get rid of marijuana i smoke every day. haha ha we should find wear police live like i did haha and here come oct 31 gonna egg them
