    Libs with their pot and guns = all three make a very dangerous volatile cocktail.

    Listening to a radio station from LA, the suspected growers were identified as "Mexican Nationals." A growing trend is that instead of smuggling it across the border, they just go into our National Forests and grow it there. If you happen to be a camper out for a stroll and run across them, you probably will be in a bit of trouble.

    Legalize Pot now and take their guns away. It'll be paradise.

    Pot is legal with a prescription in California = a growing (no pun intended) market. They even asked to have it taxed to help CA. =You can get it damn near anywhere. Maybe they need to legalize the growing of it also.

    I think it's more like illegal Mexicans NOT American liberals.

    As soon as Badsey is called down for his "Libs with their pot and guns..." then he's telling us how to get it. Un-cool.

    Hmmmm, I'm in Kansas. I don't have a prescription. How would I get my drugs if I didn't want to drink legal, liver killing alcohol or smoke legal cancer inducing sticks?

    Make pot legal and we have fewer forest fires and keeps Smokey Bear less stressed. < :-)

    About 30,000 marijuana plants and an AK-47 assault rifle were found near the origin of the blaze in a remote canyon in Los Padres National Forest, authorities said at a news conference.

    OK now...being the naturally suspicious type, I have to ask... you've had a big, hot fire at the "origin of the blaze" ...metal melts, things are burnt to a cinder.... How do you know that there were 30000 plants there?

    "has scorched more than 137 square miles of brush and timber"

    Whew! At least the marijuana wasn't scorched!

    Thats an easy one Farmboy, plants always leave roots/stems behind and people that work in forensics know what signs to look for. In a national park if there is an area that is cleared out from the natural fauna to grow something else its kinda easy to spot.

    Yet another reason why it would be better to legalize it!! Then at least you can regulate it, license growers, sellers, distrobution, and tax the living crap out of it. Put these illegal operations out of business and get a better quality product on top of it.

    Honest Dictator,

    Thanks...I was imagining some agent with eyes glazed from the smoke sorting through dirt and counting. Your idea seems more accurate.

    Oh I forgot, the illegals are there because of the conservative rights' lax border and immigration enforcement... Please.

    California is at the stage where there is so much commercial pot consumption they should (they must) consider commercial growing. They allow the consumption, but not the growing = bad Lib idea.

    Encouraging illegals in: bad idea Writing ious: bad idea

    =this is a state massively in debt and in need of change, but Pelosi and others are clueless. =You wake-up from your drug induced coma to a harsh reality. Drugging yourself is not always the answer.

    Californians really believed that Obama was gonna "bail them out" -but reality (being responsible) is sometimes the best prescription for life. I know that angers many Libs, but in the end California and its' people will make the right decisions and be in a better place. -And I firmly believe that.

    People need to be careful with any drug or even food product -It is your body and you must take responsibility for it. -Don't expect ObamaCare to "bail-out" your health.

    "Libs with their pot and guns..."

    Do you mean the "libs" that want to legalize marijuana and have it taxed by the government, thus putting marijuana growers out of business? Perhaps you mean the liberals that are proponents for gun control?

    Or perhaps that wasn't a very well thought out statement.

    "Do you mean the "libs" that ( who ) want to legalize marijuana and have it taxed by the government, thus putting marijuana growers out of business?"

    Um, if the marijuana growers are put out of business, how is marijuana going to be taxed?

    Or perhaps that wasn't a very well thought out question.

    "No pun intended it's a growing problem" I almost wet myself laughing. Sorry but the pun was made. Back on topic, legalize it, tax it and the gangs and trafickers go out of business. Seems simple enough to me.

    By legally certified marijuana growers, like our current hemp farmers in America.

    Marijuana is one of those issues that shows the true conservatives vs. quasi-conservatives, Marijuana is illegal because the government choose it to be illegal(government interfering with the individual). A true conservative is against all forms of government interference. Quasi-convervatives on the other hand demand less government interfence when it suites them and demand more government interfence when it is something that is against their belief, failing to see the irony.
