Google Caught On Private Property 668
nathan halverson writes "Google recently launched Street View coverage in Sonoma and Mendocino counties — big pot growing counties. And while they hardly covered the area's biggest city, Santa Rosa, they canvassed many of the rural areas known for growing pot. I found at least one instance where they drove well onto private property, past a gate and no trespassing sign, and took photographs. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking, but someone is likely to find some pot plants captured on Street View. That could cause big problems for residents. Because while growing a substantial amount of pot is legal in Mendocino and Sonoma County under state law, it's highly illegal under federal law and would be grounds for a federal raid."

oh and do you know what industry uses the most amount of ammonium nitrate? Hint it isn't demolitions. Heck with the right air mixture flour can be explosive. you know the stuff they make bread and cakes from.
oh and I would hardly call a field of weed gardening, farming is far more accurate.
what everyone who wants to legalise weed seem to forget in their weed induced stumblings is that it like alcohol affects everyone differently, and I don't want people driving drunk let alone so smoked out they forget which is the gas and which is the brake as they laugh and hit the car in front of them. Ever watch someone go chill man as they stumble across the floor while high on weed? now imagine someone driving that way. Alcohol should also be controlled tighter too, but controlling that is far harder than controlling weed.
Don't post high, dude.

What I have trouble imagining is that you have a high school education. You start several sentences without proper punctuation, you don't know when to use a comma, and you have at least two sentences that don't have a proper antecedent. I don't think someone as barely literate as yourself should comment on what might constitute appropriate legislation. Best for everyone would be for you to return to your burger flipping job and leave thinking for the rest of us.

"Tradition" is just "what people have done for a while". In some fraternity houses, drinking cheap alcohol until you are unconscious is a "tradition", and stopping at a bar after work and drinking until you are so drunk and angry at your miserable lot in life that you go home and beat up your wife and kid is a "tradition".
I've seldom seen anyone smoke so much pot that they got into a fight.

Probably the people you saw (or claim to have seen) were what we call 'stronken' which, in English would translate to 'strunk', a combination of stoned and drunken, a very bad combination.
Time for my favorite joke!
What's the difference between a drunk driver and a stoned driver?
-A drunk driver will blow through a stop sign without stopping. ... without even having the decency to wait for it to turn green!
-A stoned driver will stop at a stop sign, and wait for it to turn green.
-A stoned AND drunk driver will blow through a stop sign

Pot is only evil by association, given that dirty hippies grow it, and dirty hippies are evil.

Its just a shame that nobody has ever been arrested for growing pot, thus we've never had a chance to challenge that law.
