Busted at The Border

Wed, Feb 03, 2010 5:43 pm


A 74-year-old woman is now off the streets, allowing all of us to sleep safely tonight. Homenella Cole was busted at the border attempting to enter the U.S. from Canada. Seems Cole had a warrant for her arrest… issued in 1980.

 

The 29-year-old warrant (for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute) came up during a background check and landed the septuagenarian in custody. Cole will now face the nearly three decades old charge in New York. (upi.com)

 

But Border Patrol agents didn’t stop at bringing the elderly to justice. Earlier this week, agents at the Mexican border thwarted a plan to smuggle close to a ton of pot (along with some bananas) into San Diego. The seized weed is said to be worth around $1.17 million. The bananas are likely worth a bit less than that. (latimes.com)

 

Over in Arizona, agents reported seizures in smaller installments – although, they’d argue that such seizures add up. In one incident, U.S. Border Patrol spotted two men leading horses weighed down with large packs. Agents swooped in and recovered 170 pounds of marijuana. The men fled leaving the horses to take the rap. (douglasdispatch.com)

 

Meanwhile, this week, former Mexican foreign minister Jorge Castaneda called for both the U.S. and Mexico to legalize marijuana in an effort to end cartel violence that, according to CNN’s report, has killed at least 17,000 people since 2006. (cnn.com)

As i was abiding by the law being a designated driver for a friend and his girl friend she flicked a cigarette out the window and we got pulled over by the ontario provincial police O.P.P. (we call them O.O.7 license to kill literally) she smells beer on my breath charges me with impaired( that charge was dropped) searched the car finds a half a joint in the glove compartment(this is not my car its my buddys)and charges everyone in the car with marijuana possession. I have grown hundreds of pounds of pot in my days and never any trouble. Now have to go to court and beat this stupid charge or good luck going to Arizona to visit my dad? What the fuck is that. Canadian pot laws are getting worse not better also. Away with the Conservative Government (Harper)

This is about goddamn ridiculous. Our government's throwin' away, probably, our only chance to get out of recession by not legalizing this pshycoactive. This is utter bullshit. None of these old political coots acknowledge what this plant can do for us. I just seen some people blogging, saying that marijuana gives you a twentyfold increase of getting lung cancer than cigerettes (Back Asswards). I looked in to that rumor and there turns out to be a plethora of people that think this, whoever believes this shit is ignorant. If that's the case, Which It's NOT, then we probably wouldn't even be here. I don't care who you are...you can't adapt to cancer. It's hard to believe our government gets away with, and allows more than half-a-million deaths a year by tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and asprin, all of these other than Asprin, can't be resourced. We're also killing the people that carry the less harmful drug of all across the border. If you want to get technical, people that carry medicine across the border. As far as the good ole' tasty passed around (No pun intended) whore (Also no pun intended) called Mary Jane goes in the war on drugs is illogical and inane and should be dropped so the non warrant signing fuck heads in the DEA can focus on their real jobs, which are much harder drugs. That makes me wonder how many people smuggle cocaine and heroin in under the DEA's nose while their seizing and arresting the people and despensary buisness owners that actually have a licsenes (To grant license means to give PERMISSION) that are prescribed and/or allowed to consume and grow medicinal marijuana. Your Medicine, You Choice.

America.Fears.Change.

Legalize, Regulate, and Progress. That's what I say!

hahahaha that's funny! the horses get the rap. No more carrots for them. Think they should just legalize the weed grown in us that is... They can keep that stuff in mexico, packed in tires and stuff. Rather smoke home grown so i know what's in it and where it's been. Lame asses. Welp it's bowl time.

the united states is allowing the cartels to make all this money...if they legalized pot then that would take one of the cartels main sources of income. LA County alone in only 6 months made 20 million dollars. Come On Man!!!
