Cop staring at plants: ….
Plants: …
Cop: …
Plants: …
Cop: This is an emergency. Better call for backup!
Isn’t there someone out there overdosing on fentanyl?
Good job, boys. Way to focus in on the important issues.
It’s not that hard to google “marijuana laws Minnesota” a literal list of bullet points pop up.
Don’t argue with them, don’t swear either. Yes these cops are doing the job from above. Re grow and continue, otherwise being rude make the community look bad right or wrong!
Humanity is in the dumpster once a plant is regulated.
Keep digging a hole cops FFS.
My autoflower marijuana plants are getting big !!
Lol you cant just sell marijuana
This is coming from a Colorado medical patient
You dont want anyonr selling to you
Who know thats genetics the Cultivar even if they say they know
When its licensed by a medical dispensary you know the exact harvest date and what products you gettinf down to strain/Cultivar
Free the weed. Free the people.
They want their cut
Breaks my heart😢😢
those people selling the plants have no real knowledge obviously. lol.
Cops work for agencies, and they trade on the stock market.
Glorified security guards that are allowed to kill you.
Four amendment!
They are only doing their jobs, just cuz it was legalized doesnt mean selling plants are illegal and it even says that plants are to only be at your home or address that isnt easliy accessible to the plubic to be able to see ( private property) which means your house not out in the open in public and they dont know who your selling it too it could be a minor or something. I dont have anything against weed but in order to sell it like that they would need a license, i get the plants arent mature but theres laws and yes the state wants to make their money off of it but this was a stupid idea and if u disagree i highly doubt you would bring your plants to a public place and try to sell them as you have now seen what would happen and no one wants to risk losing their plants so anyhow with that being said be smart….yes the cops could be doing other things but to them its still drugs and they ig u dont think theyre not gonna still target it after being legalized your wrong, they try to squeeze a pretty penny any way they possibly can. EVEN IF THEYRE NOT MATURE THEY EVENTUALLY WILL BE AND ITS THC NOT CBD SO DONT SAY ITS THE SAME AS A TOMATO PLANT!!
White privilege 🤯👍
Buy yam our tester
Cannabis has killed no one ever in history yet its bad for u but wait water is good for you but to much water 💧 can kill you go figure
I work in the cannabis industry, but I also support police. Stop being smart asses to them, people are so disrespectful. Always putting blame on someone else.
The police are absolutely useless.
If you ever see a officer in need of help… laugh and make a wish
What happen to the first Law Freedom? The first Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly and the right to petition.
I’m glad the plants were confiscated . I don’t want a bunch of pot heads out and about on the streets . Smoking pot is just as bad as drinking alcohol. Marijuana messes with your brain cells. I don’t want that crap anywhere near my kid nor myself. Medical marijuana I can understand but not Recreational
I feel so much safer now with those evil weeds plants off of the streets. A few more hours and there would have been school kids shooting up needles full of the weeds. Thank you officers for risking your lives to keep our kids off of the devil pots.
As long as the pig’s are considered "Law Enforcement." Us as citizens, are screwed! Because we can be detained and even arrested for anything and everything! We need this to change! The thin blue line terrorists! That flag represents, separatism and it creates a"Us against them" mentality! So much is wrong with, policing in America! It’s way broken! 💯
The no no germans also used to say they were "just following orders".
Ide be throwing the plants back into my vehicle and taking off lol
It’s sad but someone is around the corner selling fentanyl to anyone any age but cop does this instead
Its stupid idiots like this that’ll ruin it for everyone.
This is the reason why there is so much civil unrest with cops. We watch them do crap like this just like we watched them do nothing while MPLS burned or stores get robbed. Cops are no longer on the side of the good people, there are here to protect the criminals period.
Be lucky they didn’t just beat y’all tf up and take the plants… do yo homework on Hemp Laws 😂 #KeepGrowing🌱💚
There’s people getting unalived by fentanyl yet they want to focusing harmless (mary joanna)
Those plant contain no thc so there concidered hemp
COCAINE IN THE WHITE HOUSE YOU FACKIN COMMIES
I have a idea let’s boycott our taxes see if cops get paid 😂
Defund the police
Damn that’s messed up they got in trouble so they’re throwing their fellow hemp merchants under the bus
What moron put those up for sale?
Dont sell anything out in the open silly rabbits trust no one.
State law trumps federal law. The farm bill means squat . Your state does have a hemp licensing program for hemp . If your claiming home growing hemp they need to be behind closes doors away from public eye and ypu can only have so many. They could of really jammed you up . Ignorance for the law isn’t a justified reason to break it.
what did they expect? honestly? i’m not siding w the law, but if you’re gonna be a dumbass and know you’re probably not gonna get away w what you’re gonna do, why do it??
_"“In strict medical terms _*_marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume._*_ For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."_
*- Francis Young (DEA Administrative Law Judge – 1988])*
_"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”_
*- Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)*
_“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”_
*- Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)*
_"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."_
_“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”_
*- William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)*
_"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."_
*- Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)*
_“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.”_ ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
*- Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)*
_"Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."_
*- Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)*
_"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I’ll prove it to you. You’re at a ball game or a concert, and someone’s really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"_
_“Why is pot against the law? It wouldn’t be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can’t make a profit off it, would it?”_
_“…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”_
*-Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)*
_"If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on."_
*- Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)*
😂 Who would a thunk.
Major raid.
Come on people those clones are thc you by law can’t sell it do the right thing and order them on line and have them delivered to your home quit playing with the law it is what it is
