What A Fuhkin Asshole
One of the nice things about growing up in Montana is that I've been around a whole bunch of East coasters, especially New Yorkers. I could write at length about their affectations, not the least of which is their idea that the city is the end all-be all of American culture. But what impressed me the most was their ability to pinpoint an asshole at 1000 yards.
It took me some stupid emails and some really asinine posts to figure it out, but yeah. Mike Harris ... what a fuhkin asshole.
Wulfgar,
I'm sorry that success has alluded you all these years.
I feel you're pane.

You are being kind.
I guess they're supportive of state's rights only when it suits their agenda.

I'm not sure if you can fail much more at being a smart ass than dectia just did.

Yep, definitely an asshole, pretentious too. He better beware of low-lying wires or his nose will be.. SNIPPED... right off. And yes, if we look up Epic Fail in the dictionary, we will definitely find dectia's attempt right smack there.

Just to be the contrarian here, but doesn't the figure of $136K/month strike you as bordering on asinine?
Granted it's been quite a few years since I knew anything about the pot market, but $150K worth would have taken care of the old hometown for about 10 years.
It's like the old saying: extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and I, for one, would like to know what regime of injections costs $136K/month, and how he's affording it now.

I can't go as far as Mike Harris did (cancelling med marijuana in toto), but it does seem a bit of a stretch that 96 plants constitute 'personal use'.

You're not actually being very contrarian to the limited point I was making, Craig. I agree that there was activity here which likely qualifies as illegal. Depending on how seriously one takes the "War on Drugs", one could even claim it to be outrage-worthy illegal. I agree with your analysis from the PodCast; that the mitigating circumstance of the offender's illness is being latched onto as a cause by those who support the use of medical toke.
All that being a given: wishing *more* pain and suffering on an individual, one who the wisher does not know, one who has no bearing on or consequence to the wisher, one who is already in pain and suffering, seemingly because the wisher feels an over developed and obviously misplaced sense of moral outrage, not at the sufferer but rather at those who disagree with the wisher and support the one who is cursed with ill wishes ...
That, my friend, qualifies for Gold in the Asshole Olympics.
