More Than 5,000 Marijuana Plants Discovered At Indiana Girl Scout Camp

Syracuse, IN (AHN) -- Two men and a juvenile have been charged with possessing more than 1,000 marijuana plants with the intent to distribute after more that 5,000 plants were found growing at a Girl Scout camp.
Mario Comacho, 44, and Mariano Gonzales, 38, were charged with growing thousands of marijuana plants on land belonging to the Limberlost Girl Scout Council, which runs Camp Ella J. Logan in the area where the plants were discovered by Indiana State Troopers while searching the land by plane.
Sherri Weidman, CEO of the Limberlost Council told the Journal-Gazette that the plants were located in a remote area camp.
Another section of plants was located on another unaware man's property. Johnny Coy told reporters that he didn't know the plants were there as he rarely visits his land, which is described as swampy.
Weidman told CBS News that the only way to get to the area where the plants were was by canoe or by wading through muck and mud.
It is reported that authorities found marijuana plants in various stages of maturity. They also found a small camp with tents, toothbrushes and hammocks.
The campground is described on the Ella J. Logan website as having 220-acres of woods, ravines, meadows and natural wet lands. Girls swim, boat, and play-games and sing-songs at day trips and camp outs on the property.
Parents were notified of the discovery when they picked up their daughters.

"tcb: i have to take exception with your $30/lb fruits and veggies bs. dont recycle that right wing bullshit straight from fox news here bro."
1. I don't watch Fox "News", nor do I subscribe to their super conservative apologist bullshit. This is, however, something that Air America has talked about several times, so apparently both the conservative and progressive sides believe it.
"Illegal aliens are an artificial source of labor which drives down wages."
2. Only because Corporations are allowed to hire them without being penalized by the Government. The illegals are only taking advantage of what the Gov't allows the Corporations to get away with.
"If all illegal immigrants were deported (a huge undertaking at this point) and the border was actually enforced effectively, the corporations that own those giant farms might start paying for insurance, stop using so much toxic poison on the food, and pay what mcdonalds pays on the hour."
3. This is completely hypothetical, and you later tell ME to "get fucking real"? It's YOU who is living outside of reality. You say that IF this happens, then this and this and this MIGHT happen. You're right about one thing, it WOULD be a huge undertaking at this point. And what's the payoff, in your opinion? Corporations MIGHT start paying an hourly wage comparable to McDonalds. Gee, do I want to flip hamburgers or break my back bending over in a field picking vegetables all day for minimum wage with the sun or rain beating down on me? I'll flip the hamburgers, thanks. At least I'll have a roof over my head and some climate controls. And no broken back at the end of the day.
"then your fellow americans would work the fields, just like they did before this large artificial influx of cheap labor. like americans couldnt afford fruit and vegetables back in the good ole days? get fucking real. and just to be crystal clear, before you summarily dismiss what ive wrote, i dont care if someone is black, white, or brown, theyre probably an asshole, i.e. color doesnt really matter to me."
4. Even if by some miracle your plan was put into action, it would take time, and unless the transition went off without any problems, there could be serious price increases and/or shortages. If that happened, we could have some serious economic problems as a result. Not that it's a bad idea, but the repercussions could be a disaster. The possibility of high food prices is at least as real a possibility as getting the corporations to do what you're suggesting, and good luck with that.
5. As far as your views on race, it wouldn't have occurred to me to even mention it, since you didn't say anything remotely or blatently racist, unlike "Who" and "lurchreaper".
The bottom line here is, I was making the point that these racists would gladly smoke weed grown by minorities, yet they turn around and bitch about them and assume they are illegal aliens based solely on their names. The truth is that these racists wouldn't want to take the same risks and do the physical labor that these minorities did. I wasn't trying to write a dissertation on the economics of illegal immigration, so I don't understand why you wasted your time with such a minor point. I notice that YOU didn't bother complaining about their racist bullshit. I would have considered that a more important and admirable use of your time and energy. Maybe racism doesn't bother you that much. How unfortunate. We should tell racists on this site to fuck off on a regular basis. They give cannabis users a bad name.

The fact that you say people constantly get "laced mind altering substances" also tells me you must be in either elementary or Jr. High School and know absolutely nothing about cannabis, probably just had your drug war propaganda course. What did you watch? Reefer Madness? Go get a real ubiased education before you start posting asinine comments online.

I guess if the guys growing the 5,000 plants had good, white sounding names like David Duke or Adolph Hitler, rather than Latino names, you wouldn't have said a thing. As a pot consumer, I don't care who grows it, as long as they do a good job. I wish a few million more people were growing, because the price would go down.
It's not the Mexicans or any other growers that "screwed" you, whatever that means. What "screwed" you were the mostly WHITE politicians and media moguls who implemented MJ prohibition in the first place (using the same kind of racist thinking that YOU subscribe to), and they are still actively supporting and enforcing it. You should save your hatred for the laws and the politicians that are screwing cannabis consumers. We need all the growers we can get in this country if we're going to overgrow the government.
By the way, in case you care, and you probably do, I'm a W.A.S.P. (White Anglo-Saxon Pothead)...so put out that burning cross, Mr. Who, you might get ashes all over your white KKK robes and hood. Bed sheets are for sleeping on, not for wearing, you stupid, racist bastard.
Also, if you're really from California, why don't you know how to spell Arcata? Or did you mean Arcadia? There's no such place as Arcatia, California. And since you asked, I lived in Cali for 20 years and only moved recently, so I will NOT shut the fuck up, but thanks for asking.

and let the plant grow in its' natural habitat.
i haven't smoked in three months now.
i don't want to support the drug war.
i want to be medicated though.
i want to blast the guy that posed as a
medicinal grower and charged me full price
for two year, then gives me a sticker that
says, "make (heart) not money"
canadian growers make 1039% profit margin off
a ounce.
where are my forty thousand George Washingtons now
support the DEA and keep the drug dealers in jail.
give weed to people that need it, don't bridge an
toll them so you don't have to get a real job.

We all as a people and a country need to stand together as One to defend and exercise Our Freedom and Rights against this Tyranny!
You have all seen how the people "In Control" the current "Politicians" and "Big Business" basically pushed out the only 'Presidential Candidate' who was representing All of Us and standing for the Constitution, Our Freedom and Our Bill of Rights "Ron Paul" in which his platform and what he is standing for is just being pushed out or aside.
Here is some "True Information" that I found out about, I think Everyone Everywhere should Know!
The Cannabis Conspiracy!. In 2005, this writer penned ‘The Real Reason Marijuana is Illegal’ and it became (by far) the most popular article. Translated into Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, Swedish, Bulgarian and even Japanese, the responses were overwhelming. Its premise was ‘marijuana’ became illegal NOT because it was a danger to the mind and body. No, the real reason is that Big Business wants us to use petrochemicals and fossil fuels. They have little interest in NATURAL solutions. THEY have suppressed the truth concerning cannabis and purposely created the ‘menace of marijuana.’ Why? So they remain high profiteers while destroying our environment in the process.
Once people read the news of what has been kept from them, the truth, the reactions were outrage and disbelief at our federal authorities. Hemp used properly for all of its INDUSTRIAL purposes, as it was always meant to be utilized, could…
SAVE THE WORLD! We need not cut down another tree. We need not have to rely on Oil Companies anymore.
So many people wrote to me and said the suppression of hemp is ‘insane.’ Surely, governments know the potential of pot. They understand how cannabis hemp could solve the energy crisis; they know biodegradable plastics could be produced from the hemp plant; they realize it would be a safer, cleaner world filled with (inexpensive) quality products…if only we were federally given the green light to INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP! Governments are well aware of the MEDICINAL value for ‘weed.’ New cloths, papers and plastics would be super durable. They could easily create nutritional FOOD products for a starving world. BUT…when did a better mousetrap ever see the light of day?
Now, with soaring gas prices bleeding us for every dollar inflating all prices, we need a cheap (renewable) fuel and energy source more than ever. Imagine hemp gas. The price of it would not be sky high since we have a limitless supply of hempen energy. Federal (guarded) hemp fields could be farmed and directed to produce a cheap/clean gasoline. Hemp fibers and oil were utilized during WWII for rope-moorings, parachutes and lubrication. Why not use hemp gasoline NOW when we are at another critical point in time? Why does hemp technology remain clandestine?
Why is there a war in the Middle East over oil? Do you really think it’s a coincidence that George Bush is an oilman and remains steadfast against bringing our troops home? Hemp petroleum is the way to alleviate us from dependency on foreign oil. That is a wonderful dream, cannabis as the means to bring our troops home!
Here is the link to this information and article about this so called "Cannabis Conspiracy" Link: http://www.world-mysteries.com/newgw/marijuana_sql_dy.htm
Please do not let this Tyranny take place! Do not let "Our Freedom and Our Rights" be striped away from all of Us. We All must stand Together and Fight as One for what is Right and good for all everywhere!

I love the name of the guy who owned some of the property, but didn't know about the grow operation: Johnny Coy. Definition in dictionary; Coy: "reluctant to give details about something sensitive." Example: "Johnny was a bit COY about telling the police what he knew about the 5,000 marijuana plants on his property." I can just hear the cops grilling this guy; "Don't be coy with us, mister, uh, Coy..."
Is there a special badge that Girl Scouts get for growing 5,000 marijuana plants? "I would have gotten my Green badge, but the cops busted our grow op before the plants were harvested. My only consolation is that I sold 70,000 boxes of cookies in one week."

I'm betting the only reason they got caught is because they cultivated them in straight lines like a farm instead or growing them randomly like plants normally grow in the wild. How else would MJ plants stand out in a swamp?
