I never smoked or chewed tobacco not even ONCE in my life.

I do however have an old friend that's in the pot business, check this out from our today's local newspaper.



HANCOCK ? A Hancock couple accused of growing 300 indoor marijuana plants was in Marquette federal court Wednesday for an initial hearing on felony drug charges.
Joseph K. Olsen, 24, and Jessica Olsen, 25, were released on an unsecured bond by U.S. District Court Magistrate Timothy P. Greeley.
Greeley read the Olsens their rights and the charges facing them, which carry a minimum of four years and a maximum of 40 years in prison.
They are expected to be charged in February with conspiracy to manufacture over 100 marijuana plants. A grand jury will hear the evidence against them and may file affidavits for their arraignments.
They likely will be charged, said Nils Kessler, assistant U.S. attorney for the Western District of Michigan.
In an unrelated case, Joseph Olsen was convicted in February 1997 of attempted marijuana delivery and manufacturing. He was sentenced to six months in the Houghton County Jail and three years probation in March 1997.
In the latest case, the Olsens? Minnesota Street residence was raided Jan. 15 by officers from the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team. UPSET seized 300 marijuana plants, two to three pounds of processed marijuana and indoor growing equipment. The potential street value of the seized plants is over $300,000, police said.
UPSET Detective Jason Wickstrom said marijuana dealers typically try to grow a pound of marijuana per plant. The estimated value of each pound is $1,000.
?It was a very large quantity,? said Kessler, which is the reason federal charges are being sought.
Hancock police assisted local police agencies and UPSET with the investigation and raid. Chief Mike Beaudoin said he?s pleased with the seizure.
?There was a substantial amount of drugs manufactured for sale here,? Beaudoin said. ?We are extremely happy.?


I think that he's gonna be fucked for quite a while, federal charges. I guess that pot doesn't pay, he he he. Just think though, the street value on what he had was $300K, that's amazing money there. Kinda gets me thinking....... he he he he. I think that I'll stick to porn.
