so?
The law is stupid and God put pot here for us to consume.
Let the dude go.
So, we're going to ruin this kids life because he was growing some harmless plants at his house? He grew a bunch of plants, then we'll put him in jail with a bunch of hardened criminals who will rape him constantly, exposing him to HIV, HEPC, Etc... does anyone else find that this is pretty much a definition of cruel and unusual punishment? We've been spending BILLIONS upon BILLIONS for DECADES, and marijuana is still very easy to get. What an insane place we live in.
