    And they were still not happy. That’s cold (maybe counterfeit) cash, and I’m sure they had more in other locations.
    There should be a death penalty for possession of More than a day’s worth of drugs.

      Death penalty for possession drugs? Are you out of your mind?

      Laws do not equate morality and drug laws in the US are immoral. Grow up and get out of your shell. The drug war has hurt more people than drugs have. Look at Colorado, Washington and Portugal as models of decriminalization success stories.

    another tremendous waste of police resources. they found people with a plant. while the ER and funeral homes across the country are full of victims from opiod (sometime legally prescribed) overdoses.
