It's either one of the biggest marijuana busts in history – or a mistake

Small town police in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, pulled over a tractor trailer headed for Colorado. They think they have one of the biggest marijuana busts in history – more than 17,000 pounds. The drivers tell them it’s industrial hemp, but police arrested them. Four people – including a cannabis company founder from Colorado – were then locked up, now facing drug trafficking charges that could bring 15 years to life. (https://on9news.tv/2Cp1GMD)

    Kyle, this story is why I love you as a reporter. No bias, some humor, and you laid out the three possibilities neat and orderly. It doesnt look like regular weed, but could be shake. Should be very easy to tell from looking at it. It either has Tricomes(thc crystals) and buds, or it is just leaves. Sad that because of the shutdown they can’t get it tested to know. Keep up the great work.

    Probably because these cops don’t have anything better to do with their time that we are paying them for… Like hmmmm idk. Taking down a fucking meth cook or heroin dealer? A fucking Dr. writing pain killer prescriptions out the ass? Cocaine traffickers? Cartels? No.. arrest someone over some flowers that never hurt a fucking soul. Never hurt anything but the governments ass when they realize they missed out on some money someone made without them knowing! The only people they don’t take down are the ones who make enough to pay them off… Like meth heroin and coke dealers. Hypocritical pieces of shit. Fuck you and fuck off. Fuck big pharma. And fuck the federal government for being more worried about someone being able to profit off of something with little to no investment besides time and hardwork. God forbid. It’s a fucking joke. People still sitting in prison since the 60s and 70s over a god damn plant. But all of your able to afford it hard drug dealing rats and informants are out living their piece of shit lives. You’ll be sucking weeds dick before it’s over with. Y’all are just working up a scheme to control it all yourself and sell it like cigarettes… Add 7,000 chemicals to make it addictive. And then will say only you all can grow it. America stand up !

    Wow….gratitude for your presentation of this…if story one is TRUE (which I feel is) and this is Hemp, THEN WHAT HAS HAPPENED REQUIRES MUCH BALANCING, because HEMP is for Victory!

    There’s no such thing as marijuana, it’s a made up word to strike fear into Americans hearts during the height of the Reefer madness craze

    Some red necks still don’t know about the farm bill last year. All 50 states get CBD hemp with .3 thc.
