pot plantations?, LOL, maybe 30 years ago. this sounds more like fearmongering to me.

I believe I said "old", as in 30 years ago, But then again how many plants in the ground does it take to classify it as a plantation. How about a thousand would that do it? I'll bet the folks from the Hawi were like yourself, lol, at the plantation thought too prior to July 2006. Then again maybe you missed the article,

I also remember someone mentioning the fact that there was a known operation located in Mountain View, although no mention of size was reported. I believe there are many sizeable plots of pot around the Island and Puna would be the last place not to expect it.

"fearmongering" perhaps Don Rumsfield and the bird flu pandemic, That is fearmongering. Not a simple warning about things left in the jungle that could cause harm to someone.

BTW 1635 growing plants,

[ plantation, def. of (1) an estate , as in a warm climate, cultivated by workers living on it. (2) A large cultivated planting.]

if spaced at 4-6 feet per plant, not to mention the harvested 14 pounds. Sounds like a plantation to me.
