    There is not one recorded record of anybody dying from marijuana but alcohol fentanyl etc has killed more than you could ever imagine and the government makes a killing off if it They can’t stand if someone sales weed and they don’t get a cut Total BS

    So you know about it, but just whine about it? You’re flying around in helicopters spying, but not acting on it? Why aren’t we watching videos of raids instead? Sounds like absolute incompetence to me.

    License or not it’s too risky.. I rather grow food.. that’s what the world needs more of is food, actual real food not no Lab crated unhealthy bs.. we need real food and need to find more better way to farm with least amount of environmental damage as possible..
    That’s my main goal.. to build a huge farm with no chemical bs, and without using old methods..
    Like planting in the ground.. ( aqua farming)
    That recycles water, which saves a lot.. a lot less environmental damage if any.. Plus it feeds people and doesn’t have law enforcement on u like pissed off hornets🤣
    If anything people will respect u more for your chosen profession.. at least courts and law enforcement will.. cuz if u ain’t braking any laws and All u do is grow food, police aren’t gonna bother u, especially if they know u are the farmer.. they’ll know by name and everything.. oh that’s so n so.. how’s it going today type thing…
    Vs, they know u grow weed but not Sure if you’re staying within The law so now they’re curious… And u got haters so u gotta worry about snitches.
    But grow food ain’t nobody snitching on nothing.. ain’t nothing to tell🤷

  6. frank villegas on September 11, 2021 at 11:12 pm

  7. Jim Cook on September 11, 2021 at 11:14 pm

  11. Nicholas Bertone on September 11, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    OMG! We’re in danger!!….. -__-



  12. Bryan Matthew on September 11, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    Wasteland…. Yeah right. That dirt was so precious 🙄 Real problem? Not taxing it. But let’s talk about the trash and BS…. At least be honest



  13. Jerry Hunter on September 11, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    how is it an environmental threat?



  14. Mac Merlin on September 11, 2021 at 11:22 pm

    It’s just jealousy & there’s nothing illegal they’re doing because the word legal is a farce as much as Trump’s Space Farce, not real! They’re probably actually doing things lawfully without the IRS & the cops getting their noses in their business, zero jurisdiction. Go eat a donut & grow a mustache martial law enforcers!



  15. 5winder on September 11, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    Everyone grow your own… problem solved.



  16. Mike Ramos on September 11, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    WASTE$$$. Currently Fetynal$&$Opioids available everyday including thru USA🇺🇸 POSTAL SERVICE💩👹



  17. Burnt Herb on September 11, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    Thing Is 1 hecter locks 22cubik meters of carbon dioxide due to its speed if growth, you should be growing agricultural hemp in those deserted spots out door. Think of the products that carbon locked hemp can produce. Paper, parcel shelves, hempcrete the list goes on. Then the best thing is it helps the environment



  18. utter shutter on September 11, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    There’s real weed and there’s fake weed. This was real weed.



  19. ali Rolo Dip on September 11, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    JDAM



  22. Chad Cox on September 11, 2021 at 11:31 pm

    It’s striking how Law Enforcement now defends "legal" cannabis enterprises. I never thought I’d live long enough to see the day.



  23. Jordan O on September 11, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Why are they acting like they care about the environment now though



  24. will on September 11, 2021 at 11:33 pm

    Poisoning the land?? I love how many liberty’s newscasters openly take now lol



  25. akrondabsfordays 420 on September 11, 2021 at 11:33 pm

    Maybe if they didn’t make it so hard for some people to legally grow, this wouldn’t happen so much!



  26. Chris Litton on September 11, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    Vire mental threat plants that make oxygen plants that can save the trees



  27. Toro G on September 11, 2021 at 11:36 pm

  34. Joseph Teague on September 11, 2021 at 11:42 pm

  35. JoAnne Butzerin on September 11, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    Why can’t we just use drones to bomb them?



  36. Pyramid Brick And Stone on September 11, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    Stop over taxing and over regulating and comsumers will return to dispensaries



  37. Charlie B on September 11, 2021 at 11:45 pm

  38. Operator 9 on September 11, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    as someone going for the legit side i can only empathize with them. government is only issuing licesenses to the big business growers which is just a huge demonstration of favoritism.



  39. Frank Rio on September 11, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    Looks kinda like a "wasteland" anyhow!!



  40. åke blom on September 11, 2021 at 11:49 pm

  42. Marisa Beltran on September 11, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    So what, the police waits for the harvest to be ready to "confiscate" the product?



  43. jacob rhoten on September 11, 2021 at 11:53 pm
