Right. The dude just proved ,by doing this, he is a complete moron.
If you are going to do something illegal, put some thought into, it's not that hard.

rotflmao!!!!!
People seem to be bothered that its against the law but somehow tend to forget how laws become laws, and then altered or abolished when found to be different from what they first thought were right.
"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear to me than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use. . . . Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana."

Thomas Jefferson: Drug Kingpin
Like many colonial farmers, Thomas Jefferson grew marijuana -- acres and acres of it. The crop was used for cloth, rope, and other essential industrial products.
An article in Marijuana News, published by an Ohio chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, points out that some years Jefferson raised over 100 acres of hemp -- over 70 million plants.
Discussing this in the June issue of Reason, Jacob Sullum notes that "Under the 1995 Omnibus Crime Control Act, anyone who cultivates more than 60,000 plants is a 'drug kingpin,' subject to execution. In a single year, then, the author of the Declaration of Independence qualified for the death penalty a thousand times over."
The Democratic Party's platform applauds the death-for-dope law. Thus, says Marijuana News, "If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, William Jefferson Clinton would execute him."
c'mon cowboys, lets hang'em...

che? or pol pot?
But as you stated it was for products, as most farmers used to raise it for. Myles wasn't raising it to make rope. It was to get high with, so there is a BIG difference.
Isn't it funny that most of the Pro-Hemp types are stoners!
Hippies...
from what i know of hemp genetics im pretty certain that myles`s 52 plants had a stoning potential fairly similar to a huge chunk of jeffersons plants.
down here there were hemp farms not too long ago, say 30 years ago, word is that you`d choke to death before getting stoned with those plants.
if your a stoner one plant is ok but more than that, that is just stupid. P.S. drugs r bad

Um, one plant would maybe ok for a week.
there are no hippies anymore, they buried the hippie in in 1969, SF. what we have now are trustafarians, trust-fund-afarians. its so easy to live that life style when you dont really have to "make a living" for yourself.
I would love to live in a warehouse and sleep on the floor and not have a real job. but my mommy and daddy dont pay my way, i have to work for every red cent i make....unlike other freethinkers who wander in the woods aimlessly.....
heres some fun cannabis facts
marijuana will never make it as a legal drug. although it is yet to directly kill a single person, and ciggs kill 300,000+ year, and alcohol (not including drunk driving) kills some 200,000+ people, 40 years or more of propaganda against marijuana has stuck though, and its sad that it will never be legalized as a recreational drug.
as for medical uses, they would rather give patients highly addicting opiates like oxycotton, rather than a non addictive substitute like marijuana.
hemp. approx. 20,000 acres of hemp can produce as much building material, pulp for paper, and fibre for fabric as 40,000 acres of forrest. hemp can be harvested every 120 days, where it takes a forrest nearly 500 years to be restored.
hemp biodiesel-
-Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel in the US to complete EPA Tier I Health Effects Testing under section 211(b) of the Clean Air Act, which provide the most thorough inventory of environmental and human health effects attributes that current technology will allow.
-Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine. It can be stored anywhere that petroleum diesel fuel is stored.
-Biodiesel can be used alone or mixed in any ratio with petroleum diesel fuel. The most common blend is a mix of 20% biodiesel with 80% petroleum diesel, or "B20."
The lifecycle production and use of biodiesel produces approximately 80% less carbon dioxide emissions, and almost 100% less sulfur dioxide. Combustion of biodiesel alone provides over a 90% reduction in total unburned hydrocarbons, and a 75-90% reduction in aromatic hydrocarbons.
-Biodiesel further provides significant reductions in particulates and carbon monoxide than petroleum diesel fuel.
-Biodiesel provides a slight increase or decrease in nitrogen oxides depending on engine family and testing procedures. Based on Ames Mutagenicity tests, biodiesel provides a 90% reduction in cancer risks.

so whats so bad about it, the effects of it arnt even as bad as alchohal is but its not legal?

What's sad is that you have an emotional attachment to a chemical. (you actually feel sorrow over a chemical. think about how sick that is for a second)
What's sad is that a guy chose dope over the welfare of his family.
What's sad is entire lifestyles based around the inhalation of intoxication smoke.
What's sad are kids who now wont have a dad because he's in jail for being stupid.
I dont know. Go ahead and list all your bio deisel fun facts, but they're really not the issue here. The issue is people getting stoned and wanting to feel justified for it. Go ahead and smoke if you wish, but you'll never convince the majority that its the right thing to make legal (as you said). So what's the point? Is the risk worth the reward? Is it worth losing a family over?
I dont think so. Enjoy your drugs.
ever been to eugene or? I think it might have even oly beat for the title on NW hippie towns.........
True.
Ever heard of the Second Law of Thermodynamics? How much diesel is used in the tractors and combines used to grow the feedstocks used in biodiesel? There is always a lose. The net production isn't fully understood. I research future power needs and automotive emissions reduction for the US government and while biodiesel is great in some regards people are never given the full picture.
and you think that all that hemp would make it into your fuel tank? The hippies would be wanting it for themselves. That would lead to free basing biodiesel fuel. I agree with BurlySurly 100%
My parents grew and sold pot to pay for my food when I was growing up.
I can firmly and honestly say that there was nothing positive in any part of that environment, despite my parents incredible love and ability to make sure I always had what I needed and always did my homework. They lucked out and gave me a great education and a good childhood.
But when I say that 99% of the people that ever walked through our door for that stuff was a drug addict in some way, shape or form, I'm being dead serious.
It is a drug and it should be controlled, whether it is legal or illegal. People will find a way to abuse any drug...just like alcohol. Some people will use it as a stepping stone to other drugs (just like alcohol and cigarettes). Some will find it as their comfort drug and stick with it. Some will dablle in it and move on.
But the bottom line is...it alters the human state. Therefore, it has to be monitored because some of the people who use it will abuse it and in some way, shape or form...harm those around them. These people lack the fortitude, ability, mentality or fortune to prevent the drug they choose from affecting others.
So long as that is a result of use of this drug, regardless of it's type of affect (mild or wild), something will always have to be done to protect those in and around the users of it.

While i understand what he did was "wrong". I still think it's fuked up to wish the worst for him and his family. That's it, I have never wished anything like that for someone unless they wronged me personally in some horrible way. Being someone who believes in Karma I don't wish that on anyone. unless what they did was truly wrong(murder, rape, child abuse, etc....). So i still hope someone :nuts:, have a nice day
Damn Bizuth, sounds like we had similar upbringings. My parents sold Pot out of our house too. Strange people coming over at all times of the night. The stupid parties every weekend. Man the stories I could tell.
But unlike your parents, my parents only sold to buy more for themselves. Lets just say us 5 kids were always doing without. I grew up around all those "free thinking" hippies, and it's something I never want to be around again. Much less have my child be raised in that enviorment.
And RaceFace, you saying pot never hurt anyone?
My parents are in their early 50's and still get high every day. They are a prime example of what it will do. Besides making you stupid, they NEVER have grown up past the age of 16.
That is the age they both started using, and that is still how they act. Neither of them can handle ANYTHING. All they do is watch TV, get high, and complain about Bush, whilst shaking and freaking out constantly. Their mood depends on what's going on in Iraq. GOD I HATE HIPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell I even smell someone smoking it and I get pissed. Makes me wanna kick some hippe butt!

to all you people that say the awful things about my herbals,i say shame on you!!!!! if you drink beer or any other form of booze,and then talk about drugs being bad i say f-you.i can burn all day long and still drive my car fine. if i drink three beers i'm alittle out of it ,and could wreck,and also, how many people do you know that have gottin high,and then been taken advantage of for being passed out.like so many kids do at partys.i would much rather my daughter smoke pot,than drink. i know to many drunks that don't amount too ****,but everyone i know that blazes has their sh!t together. and how about cigs? i know that niccotine is the #1 addictive drug in the world,but yet its ok for people to smoke them. i mean cigs don't do anything for you,but make your clothes and everything around you stink. at least when i smoke pot,i catch a buzz,and feel relaxed. i can go on ranting about this all day. but to all of you that talk down on smoking and the the people that smoke(pot that is),and then go have a couple of DRINKS and then drive home,i say fVCK off!!! lets us do our thing,and you do yours. I WILL BURN FOREVER says SMOKEY McPOT!!!!! and to all those who argue with me i say yea yea yea shut up!!!!!!!!!!
...Example A: Banche...had potential to be a pro DH racer....got high...broke wrist.:devil:
Example B: Apparently it makes you more aggressive and defensive
But seriously Banche, I did list alsohol and nicotine. They are legalized, but they are regulated.....which is exactly what I said. I never said I was gonna burn down your house and take your truck.....well......I might take your truck
neaky: Oh and Jesus (that's strange to type), as for the loud parties, let's just say I can sing every line of every southern rock song ever made....not proud of that, rather disturbing actually.
I smoke it but would never consider myself a "hippie". As far as your parents go that is an extreme case and I'm sorry. It has most likely had an effect on your views and maybe you should talk to someone about it. It's obvious to me that part of your hate for pot stems from your anger toward your parents and i would like to help. Let me know if you would like to talk about this, maybe you can love hippies again someday.
they don't call it dope 'cause it makes you smart...
dude, do you have Ned Flander's syndrome??

Mmike;
Dude, wishing that on Myles is absolute shyte! You sir are officially a full fledged asshole! How can you even try to tell me Myles deserves losing his child because he grew some plants in his basement.
Get off your friggin high horse and open your eyes. Even if you're against the herb, for ****s sake, how can you even begin to believe his child would be better off as a ward of the state? Yes, if Myles is indeed guilty of said crime, he should pay. But to what extent?
As an occasional smoker myself, I'll admit it's pretty easy to blow off the "it's illegal" technicality as a law that I believe should be changed. Perhaps shallow justification, but truth none the less. Are you saying you've never "bent" a law? I mean let's take speeding for example, should we throw speeders in jail and take away their children because speeding takes more lives every day than smoking weed does in a year? Really, what's the benefit to society if Myles gets the maximum sentence for his crime?
Hell, if it weren't for my own 2 children, I'd probably grow some of my own, but I recognize the risk and know it ain't for me. If I did indeed get caught, I sure as hell wouldn't be whining here about it, I'd take my lumps and admit it was done at my own risk.
Now to say Myles chose getting high over his family is just plain bunk! Do you know Myles? Perhaps some great insight? My guess is no! You don't know a friggin thing about him and his family life. Perhaps he chose this "vocation" because it allowed him maximum time with his family and even some time for biking God forbid. Oh wait, I remember in your version of the American dream, we're supposed to work 60 hours a week minimum, throw every penny we have into the 401K plan and keep up with the Jones down the street at all costs.
Me, I'd prefer to enjoy life one day at a time, spend a ton of quality time with my wife, kids and bikes and maybe even find time to take pthe people I meet at face value.
To say Myles should lose his kids could very well be the most telling words you've ever written on this board. I'm with Lexx here, you sir (And I use the term sir loosely - very loosely) deserve a punch to the face and a swift kick in the nuts!
lol.... no, not TRUE...
Isn't speeding a misdemeanor while growing pot is a felony? You are comparing apples and oranges.
I can't believe i am going to say this, but I knid of agree with MMike. Myles should have thought a bit more about being a family man rather than his pot business. Taking his kids away, i dont know about that, but i would think a parent would have higher priorties. But we can all do what we want, Myles broke the law, was caught and should pay his punishment.
If for no other reason, he should have found another place to do his business because of his child. Now the family is at risk of losing their home, vehicles, and other possesions.
If he had no responsibilities to others but himself, it would be his problem. However, he put his wants and desires before his familys' welfare, what a moron.
As for the "Lets not pick on other mtbers" crying, before we are mtbers, we are humans. He proved himself. I don't feel bad for him at all, I feel bad for his child.
What really is the true reason anyone feels bad for him?

Ahhhh....I get it now. Being a drug dealer gives him more free time to spend with his family. That's a GREAT idea!
Wait a sec....being a hired hitman....at....hmmm....$100k per hit....for a day's work. Maybe do two or three a year...HEY! I like that math! I could spend 362 days a year with my family!
Thanks for opening my mind.
As for my "bending laws". Yep... I've had my car up on two wheels a few times and passed many a slowpoke on the shoulder. But as the father of a 16 week-old little girl, my habits have changed GREATLY. Why? Because I'm RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMEONE ELSE NOW.
Myles SHOULD have gotten a proper job, been socking away in his 401k for his kid's college fund and acted like a fu.cking grown up, and not an intellectually stunted, washed-up dirtbag mountain bike racer!! (..oh but wait...)
And as for his kids being taken away, alright I don't REALLY wish that. The potheads are just pissing me off with their pathetic justification for their ridiculous dependance. So no. I officially retract the "taking his kids away" remark.
I do however still hope they throw the book at him.

I never agreed with what he did or the way he did it. i'm jsut saying you shouldn't wish the worst for they guy! He made a mistake and a big one at that, but to hope the worst and make an example of him is bringing it too far. OK you can 
at him all day but don't wish the worst for people just because they did something that you don't agree with.

Well, here in Canada, both are misdemeanors (well, growing pot isn't but possession of less than 15 grams is or soon will be)
Back to the bits - yes Myles did (assuming he's guilty here) make a pretty big error in judgement and like I said, it's a risk I'm not willing to take. Perhaps that's what made him such a fast mofo - he's more comfortable with risk than the rest of us...
It's easy to stand here and say "he should have had his priorities straight". It ain't so easy when you're raising a family trying to provide a certain quality of life to your little ones. Not everyone has a college education or a six figure salary. I know of many "growers" who never use the stuff. They're simply making a living the best way they know how.
Doesn't make it right (although I will reiterate my previous post I really think we're wasting valuable public resources prosecuting marijuana offences) but it is what it is. Given the choice of supporting your family ("honestly") at minimum wage and missing all of the milestones (probably having to work 2 jobs just to make ends meet) or growing weed but being there for every one of your kids' first steps, ball games, hockey practises, races, literary fairs, drama club productions or whatever they decide to pursue, I'd choose to break the law - every time!!
As I've said before I've never seen anyone take a hit from the bong and become aggressive and beat their children or significant other. Hang out any drinking establishment at closing time and say the same about alcohol...

So are you trying to say that Myles needed to grow pot to support his family? What happened to all of the money he made racing bikes? He was a world champion in the "Good Days" of downhill racing and I'm sure Giant and probably his former teams paid him well. Maybe he blew all his dough on the rockstar lifestyle? Well regardless, he is not the only retired pro without a college degree and you don't see the rest of them growing drugs.
Not to belabour the point, but really, can you compare being a hitman to growing pot?
I may be more than a little biased, but I find the hypocrisy of legalized alcohol while we're criminalizing pot use to be absolutely laughable. I've seen use and abuse of both, and by far, alcohol has a far more detrimental effect on our society!
Moderation is good - abuse is bad mmmmmmmkay!?!

Just that you should walk a mile in his shoes before you pass judgement on his choices.
We've all made bad choices, some just hit the press is all.
For what it's worth, I would do whatever it takes to provide for my family.
Hell, I'd even break the law if I saw no other choice!
That said, I'm going for a ride, it's obvious I'm wasting my breath here.
Funny though I've seen no rebuttal from the "anti-drug brigade" to my views on alcohol use...

Yeah... the "supplementing income argument" is weak.
He chose his path in life. A completely selfish path. Yep. Racing/riding bikes is fun. But that's about all it's good for. And I guess he did it at the expense of getting a real skill or education. Well boo hoo. It's kind of the ant and the grasshopper now isn't it?
There were lots of other things i would have rather been doing instead of spending 4 years in a classroom solving differential equations and doing stress analyses. But I chose to invest the time.
So Myles's time in the sun has come and gone. Oh well. If he can't find a legal way to support himself and his family, well that's his problem now isn't it?
