Dealers Report Stolen Marijuana To Authorities

[srobert]

A Panhandle couple is under arrest after notifying police Thursday that their quarter-pound stash of marijuana was stolen and that they needed the weed back, because they were going to later sell it.

"They're America's dumbest criminals," said Lt. Ricky Ramie, head of the Bay County Sheriff's Office narcotics task force.

What's the going price of .25 lb of marijuana these days?

That is just amazing - you have to wonder exactly what they were thinking at the time, of if they were under the influence..... :(

[sgarringer]

In Iowa, the price for standard ganj would be about 350$. An ounce runs about $120 so quite a profit can be turned.

Dont ask me why I know that.

They should add some of these people to the "This is your brain on drugs..." posters/campaigns.

well, it was only a matter of time before they probably would've gotten busted anyway, if their thinking here (or lack thereof) is any indication.

One almost hopes that they were high, so at least they have an excuse for their idiocy.

Looking at their ages, I wonder why they weren't in school and/or whose house they were living in.

[wdlove]

They should have just considered that stolen Marijuana as a cost of doing business. They probably were high or feeling effects of Marijuana to have called police about theft of an illegal substance. They certainly made the job of the police very easy. :(

good stuff is about $4500, which makes a quarter pound about $1125.
But these guys are probably small time, so a quarter pound actually makes a difference.

Wow! People get crazier and crazier... What did they expect would happen?

People do not do dumb ***** like this under the influence of marijuana. It sounds like they have a case of ignorance mixed with mental illness or phycosis from doing to much meth.

[chanoc]

Tenage logic = oxymoron

Well, if they pled guilty to the 1/4 lb they really are stupid, where is the evidence of the 1/4 lb?

They could get convicted on stems and pot pipes, but what kind of sentence would that carry in Florida? Here in Alaska it would be a 100.00 fine and a slap on the wrist.

Oh, and what kind of civilized nation prosecutes their people for using marijuana? Let legalize marijuana, it's a person's right to choose whether they want to use or not.

LOL... Not as long as it's illegal to use it it isn't a persons right to choose whether they want to or not... Believe me, I'm no angel in this category, though I no longer indulge, but it was always crystal clear that if I got caught with a trashbag full of weed I was up the creek without a paddle... I could care less whether they legalize it or not, but it's not someones right to use an illegal substance because they think it should be legal... lol..

Just because you want to, doesn't mean it should be legalized.

Whew! good thing pot's a victimless crime, stealing a car... not quite. You can't just compare it to anything, pot is one of a few things that the government prohibits for no good reason... the "protect you from yourself" laws. they should all be scrapped.

But anyway.

I'll strongly agree with what others have said, these guys didn't do something so stupid because of the pot (i have yet to meet someone who called the police while high, on purpose)... they did it because they're complete retards. Not in the un-politically-correct sense, either. But in the literal way.

Of course the chemicals in the crops are less hazardous than a batch of meth, though you do risk buring down the house.

A dealer who lost $220k worth of drugs in a robbery won the court case against the Tax Office, and so is allowed to claim the loss as a tax deduction!

Right on. I wonder how many people saw this story and muttered nonsensicals before hitting their medicine cabinet for "OK drugs."

[sgarringer]

Would you prefer we discuss the ever rising cost of prescription drugs? Since those are so much better for you. Oh wait, a lot of prescription drugs kill people just by their basic use...

That is the most ignorant type of attitude to have toward something, especially in relationw to politics/ethics/religion. Let's see, grand theft auto, or smoking a pipe on my back porch listening to Bob Dylan? The biggest threat that poses is to my inventory of cookies and peanut butter. But, yeah, let's throw 'em in jail.

I believe this thread was more about people's potential to be morons, than the legal/value issues around marijuana.

I guess maybe I'd just like it to be.

So you know better than me whats good for me to do?

I don't understand your arguement.

Why should I allow you to tell me what I can and can't do if I'm not harming anyone?

Please, don't give me any of the following rebuttles:

A] Pot is a gateway drug
B] Buying pot is giving money to terrorists

The only reason that either of these are true is because of the illegal status of weed. So please, if its possible, forumulate your thoughts and reply with an arguement... otherwise, I'll puff on my pipe and leave you to take care dof the "master debating".

People feeling they they should be able to smoke pot, download free music, etc. right now -- because they are entitled to do it, illegal or not.

Their rebellion against the system is to keep doing what they want to do instead of personally taking a hand in changing the system.

Even if it means what they are doing now is stealing music, breaking current drug laws, or tweaking any other law they feel is unjust -- to them personally.

Edit: those damn selfish bastards... ;)

...
The difference between downloading files and smoking grass is that file downloads victimize someone (yes, "someone" who overcharges and is a bully, but a legal owner of the content nevertheless), whereas smoking grass (for reasons of simplication. let's assert it's grass you've grown yourself) is illegal but creates no victim.

Not only that, but it's difficult to reconcile laws which forbid maijuana use but do not forbid alcohol or tobacco use.

I don't smoke anything (have in the past, though, long ago), and I'm not asserting that people should break the law (although, in one way or another, knowingly or not, it's a safe bet that everyone violates some law or another every day). I'm just pointing out that victimless crimes are harder to defend as prosecutable offenses. Laws should have reasoning behind them and consistency with other laws. Laws which forbit activity which produces no harm, or arguably at least no more harm than other legal actions, are very difficult indeed to defend as justifiable.

Nevertheless, they are laws, and the best thing to do is to fight them politically and publicly, and to violate them, if at all, privately.

I would vote for the legalization of marijuana, but I would vote against the "right" to smoke it in public. I feel the same about tobacco. Do what you want in your house. Don't stink up public areas. It's victimless in your house. It creates second-hand smoke victims, etc., in public.

[sgarringer]

No one is arguing that I should be able to go out and download music. Clearly, thats illegal because its copyright infringement and like it or not, it is hurting someone.

Please tell me how my smoking weed, in my own house, that I've paid for by working (not stealing or anything else illegal) is wrong.

I know there are laws against it. But perhaps those laws need to be changed? Unfortunatly, those in power have millions, if not billions, of money to spend on misinformation of the public and continue to make the general population fear what they don't know.

Just look at Nevada. The popular opinion was that weed should be legalized. It was ahead in the polls. Then, the federal governmnet put the squeeze on, spending millions of dollars on a nasty ad campagin, and threating to pull federal highway funding if the law passed....

Maybe something in the system is screwed up... and the only way to make it right, is to say 'f the system!

Double Hey!!

Btw, to sgarringer:

Life is neither logical or fair. It is unfortunate that the laws surrounding Pot and the interests that keep them in place exist, but they do.

You are free to react to this fact however you choose. I still smoke occasionally, at my own risk. I do not delude myself that the righteousness
or reasonableness of my opinion in the matter means squat, should I be caught.

Do not take your frustration out on those who are merely pointing out the reality of the situation, which is one many of us dislike.

I realize it is illegal, and also realize the risks involved. I have been caught, and taken my punishment.

If I hadn't worked for a series of compines with no background check, I would be quite screwed.

My point is merely this... why? Why should it be this way. It is, yes, but why does it have to be? Why can't we get things changed?

That is a topic that needs to be discussed, regardless of how much people on here don't want to discuss it.

Apparently because Hearst had invested $800 million in timber for pulp, and the successful use of the extensive US acreage of hemp would have made a real mess of his retirement plans. Nobody's got the political bottle to change it back now.
