Green Harvest - D.E.A. style ?

I find it disturbing that the Government would send men and women rappelling on to private property with or without probable cause to seize marijuana and that it spends so many millions on the task. It might bring me some comfort if I could be assured that the alleged contraband won't be repackaged and sold in another part of the world to fund activities that have not been sanctioned by Congress, but I doubt I will get any such assurances.

it's been going on as long as I can remember! As a "Guerrilla Farmer" during the 70's on Maui I can attest to such actions. I use to think it was like we were being invaded from a foreign country. Rope ladders lowering Maui Police, DEA Agents & National Guards all carrying M-16's threatening to shoot our dogs(if there ever is a time to own Pit Bulls, this is it) if we didn't get them under control! Lining us all up acting like they are gonna shoot us too! To put it nicely, they were all pricks!!!! I mean you volunteer for this type of duty! Who in their right minds wants to ruin the life of your fellow man? Only Anal retentive jerks sign up for this type of duty, guys with small you know whats? Or just plain old jerks!

I too watched in bewilderment the other day as these jerks were flying over HPP, back and forth for several hours. Back when I was growing the FEDS like to locate patches around the summer months, then they'd return right around harvest time and chop down your crop. Funny thing though, on the evening news they'd only show the leaf being confescated, all the buds had been cut off and given to family members of the feds to sell already!!!!
