I said exactly what I intended to say, I know about the deal between Dupont/W.R.Hearst and key members of congress to make it illegal in the first place. And as far as hurting society you're probably right, we've got a coke snorting, pot smoking, drunk driving president just screwing up the country.
> So growing pot in your backyard is not hurting society? Well not until it gets in the hands of some school kid right? I know what you were trying to say I just think you might have used a better example eh? Take care now and good luck.

> > What each of us think is right is relative, personally I won't report someone for growing pot in their backyard but as Sweep Daddy said if I see something that is a possible danger to society then they can explain what their intentions are to the authorities. Some people take things to far and think that programs such as this gives them carte' blanche to stick their noses in where it doesn't belong, in order for these types of programs to work discretion has to used by the reporting individual. Over the years the only thing I have reported is 3 german shepards starving to death in a fenced backyard, I went to the neighborhood conveniance store called the SPCA and bought a 10 lbs. bag of dog food, went back and through it over the fence. To this day I don't know if the SPCA even responded.

If the owner has a legitimate purpose for thsoe materials he's not out but a few minutes of explaination and I don't have to worry about why I didn't report him after the school explodes.
