I thought that was what the kiddie porn police were for. You have to have a barn full of THC to get opprobrium these days, but if only in possession of a dozen or so plants, then they have to find a mountain of questionable magazines in your basement for sufficient abasement. Having tortured a slew of low-life photoshop techs to tell them exactly how old they have created their subjects in these putrid publications they have the goods on any lewd and lascivious collectors in a massive database of smut-incorrigible-alia. Without radio-carbon dating on these flicks it is obviously irresponsibly reprehensible to seek thrills with flesh images. I can remember not too long ago when the only righteous and indignant announcements of Sgt. Renfrew and the mtd. were that they had busted little Johnny Swanson in his mother's flat with a 5 million dollar narcotics lab and a dangerous weapons stash in the attic. They proudly displayed the results of their bust, three pellet pistols, a watergun, (could be used with acid) a single shot .22 calibre cooey, and three baking tins of 2 inch high growth of the dreadful, debilitating and addictive narcotic drug, cannabis sativa horriblensis. Added to that was 35 grams of seed material in a mulch state and addict's paraphenalia of ingestion manufacturing devices, such as straws, knives, screens and plastic tubes. The RCMP had calculated the worth of the massive haul by counting the seeds (some 568) and the plants, (180) and calculating the "street value" when mature. At 7 lbs per plant, divided into grams @ 10 dollars per gram the haul was worth 748 X 7 X 16 X 28.349 X 10 = $23,749,658.24 Some adjustments were made for wholesale reductions to come up with the mind boggling total of 5 million. Johnny Swanson got a good lawyer and only ended up with 5 years in Joliet in the revolving-door molly-coddling system that lets Jack the Ripper roam the streets sans doot. Today we understand he works as an assistant mail room clerk for IMA Resources with this prison buddy, Bruce. EC<:-}
