choppers

[nortonh]

Anyone know what is up with the helicopters flying over lower HPP???

[ironyak]

Green Harvest? Big one working lower HPP, smaller one circling in upper OLE today. 'Tis the season...

Did they have Id #'s ? Could you tell what kind they were (military or civilian)?

"Green Harvest"... if so, that activity seems so outdated already, yeah? funny how the more plainly nonsensical and non-functional policies can sometimes stubbornly persist. no doubt there are better and less destructive ways to create jobs and spur the economy, i say.

Frau Chunkster (who never seems to notice this stuff) is complaining about the choppers. It must be serious.

[Tink]

Too bad they are not looking for meth labs...

Compliance checks - for those with the MMJ permits.
Cheaper than going door to door.
Nothing new - same ol same ol .

i wouldn't quite call it "compliance checks" . it's not for those with medical permits, but mainly for those without permits. i assume it is just fine for permit holders to do their agriculture indoors out of sight of helicopters.

Interesting. If it's compliance checks then they should only be circling MM registered residences right? Or check everyone then screen out those with MM cards - in other words Green Harvest?

In an unprecedented move Thursday night, the House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that prevents the Drug Enforcement Administration from raiding state-legal medical marijuana dispensaries.

Just after midnight, the vote won with 219 ayes, including an unexpected 49 Republicans and 170 Democrats. It’s the first time Congress has approved a major marijuana law reform, which shows the changing tide of marijuana policy in the United States—and suggests a new day is rising in the war on drugs. A similar measure failed in Congress six previous times, receiving the most votes (165) in 2007. But with data showing three out of four Americans now approve of medical marijuana, the issue gained momentum in the months leading up to the vote.

Medical marijuana advocates across the nation celebrated the landmark decision. “This is a huge development,” Mason Tvert Director of Communications Marijuana Policy Project, told The Daily Beast hours later. “This is a major sign that things are moving full-speed in the right direction at the federal level, as well as the state level.”
