Sorry Brother, they're gonna burn it. Long story short, this stuff isn't even close to making it thru one of the multiple hoops ya jump thru to market your Ganja. Not even close. I know people in the industry up here and ya, they're making bank, but the shit they gotta go thru is fucking cray cray.

J probably has the inside track. FWIW, I tend to agree with him. Once the government is involved and their systems are set up, it seems that it would be very difficult to do something outside of the boundary conditions. Might even be construed as "illegal confiscation" (or whatever the proper legal term would be) with intent to enrich the state. If they burn it, no such claim could legitimately be made.

They already have the system in place to tax the legal producers and taking $80 mil of illegal (un-taxed) ganja off the street will to some degree, up the demand for legal pot. Win-win for the state. This isn't so much about crime as it is cashflow for the state.

Exactly. Look, the State doesn't wanna have you unintentionally smoke an HIV riddled Spider Mite by mistake. Ya know? So the dog n pony show ensues. Your win-win cracked me the hell up though. It's true, and you're right. But I gotta tell ya, when I hear win-win I automatically begin thinking just how bad I'm getting fucked. But maybe that's just moi.

You have a bad attitude. You're not going along to get along. Sounds like 'yer in line for some of Washington State's finest "re-education"......

Couldn't even take a pic, let alone vid. It's a HUGE ongoing op and the players are "shy".

There's some Kola's of epic proportions downstairs. I'll see if I can get ya a pic if it's still there when I go back in. The entire building, all 3 floors, reeks like all wholly hell. That shit was dank.

Just a little update for the interested........


What a nightmare.

 

[Dewey7271]

What you got going up there 1J? Some kind of tong thing?

That's basically it. They thought it was a good idea some years ago to send some amateur wanna be Asian gang bangers to mayberry to recruit. Locals handed them their asses so I heard.
Now they're trying to set up illegal grows on an epic scale. That's blowing up on them now. But it's a nightmare for our little area. Every counties jails are packed as it is. This is having a hulluva economic impact.
