Weed isn't legal in Chicago?

That's breaking it down to dime bags as they are talking more than $440 an ounce.

you have to pay big brother his cut :2 cents::2 cents:

In IL it's a very regulated pilot program for MMJ. Nothing like CO or CA.

That being said, nowhere in the country is it legal to have 400+ lbs of weed in your basement.

Pretty sad that there are still places in this country where weed isn't legal. If we know anything by now it is that legalizing it isn't going to bring about the apocalypse. They should legalize nationally then this guy could have grown it legally, sold it, paid taxes, and spent his money, enhancing his community instead of going to jail.

Yup. Looking forward to its legalization in the UK, which will will remove the criminal aspect at both ends...

incarcerating people because they own vegetation is backwards as fuck...politicians fear the backlash so they throw their own citizens under the bus to appease parents who want to blame others that their kid likes narcotics...

Yeah that's a bit more then the average smoker consumes :pimp Hell I grow 12
plants legally and still end up giving a lot away...for free to family and friends.

I wonder how much was actually found of which 423lbs of it made it to evidence locker?
