Bah, it shouldn't be too bad. I know the cops out here in NS are EXTREMELY forgiving when it comes to putting forth their recommendation for jail time. He may get 2 years tops, or he may just get 1 year house arrest. (Then again, depends how active he was, and if he was 'exporting' his crop-age)

I can understand the "pot should be legal" argument, but it's not right now. And if the guy's got half a mil worth of stuff, of course they're going to arrest his ass.Dreaded Silence - Boston Melancholic Metal

A friend of mine got busted with the same thing (something like 1000 - 1500 plants) and he got 6 months house arrest after 1.5 years in the court system. He had a record already that included more drug charges. So i doubt your drummer will be doing time anytime soon.

is the 1/2 mill teh dollar amount the police say or what your drummer says ? Police always WAY over estimate the street value of weed .
while I certainly see no big deal for pot smokers and users to grow and possess small quanities, farming for profit is asking for trouble imho...risks far outweigh the reward for me.shawnlutz.com

Ah, I knew someone would ask eventually, and you are correct. The police estimated half a mill. In truth, sold in bulk, it was probably closer to a fifth of that. Fortunately he wasn't doing any distribution. He was just the technical part of the operation. We still haven't heard anything, and he hasn't been released yet.

kinda funny that growing weed is illeagal, it's a fantastic rope material and it's been used for it for ages."There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"To be stupid, selfish and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost" - Gustave Flaubert

I'm about ready to do something very fucking unreasonable.I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

I don't agree with current drug laws in the US (not sure what yours are exactly) but the law is what it is. He knew he was breaking the law. He did it in a pretty big way too, we're not talking about a closet full for himself and a few friends.
