So a growth lamp (which can be used to grow just about anything indoors), "appearing nervous," and a secondhand claim of smelling burnt marijuana is enough for the police to storm into your house with their guns drawn. IMO, those facts don't amount to probable cause for issuance of a search warrant. The judge who issued that warrant ought to have his or her knucles slapped.

Making marijuana illegal, and cocaine, and opium, is the best advertisement for it. I was in Melbourne library a few weeks ago reading cargo manifests and opium was listed along with other products such as whisky, corn, and a whole bunch of other stuff. There was a good amount of opium, but very small compared with other things like whisky. Opium was used in many ways, such as giving it to babies to make them sleep or be tranquil. It was called laudanum. Parents were stupid then, as now. My mother gave me some "sleeping" poison as a youngster because I'd wake up. I consider that criminal to do to a baby/infant. Brains need proper development and poisoning sleep and wake processes is the way to stop brain development. Then there was lead everywhere. My father used to spray apples with the stuff then feed them to us. No wonder the Flynn Effect exists. Stop destroying infant brains and watch intelligence increase. Mqurice
