should have bought a tax stamp

ncpilot2 drank all the koolaid the DARE program offered.

if you are a true conservative you should say, as I do, that if you chose to do drugs, that is your business. if you come to work high, or drunk, I will fire you. the drug war is a farce.it does not work. we could build treatment centers all over this country if we treated it like alcohol and cut our enforcment budget in order to do so.

"lol $1 million bond. murderers don't even get it that bad. Larry the Cable guy should do a show about that... Only In America.. VariousGood"

Actually most people accused of murder don't receive the luxery of bonds at all, meaning that they stay in jail until their trial. Funny how the first to throw insults at the criminal justice world are usually the ones who know absolutely nothing about it.

What is really needed is control to stop the drugs traffic and "mules" here in NC that are controlled by the Cartel.

Hey lets not forget that the only reason thes Cartels are in business is because of their US consumers! Lets start to go after the users/buyers and that will stop the trafficing

59 kilos of cocaine and no cash found? HAHA yeah right. The cops just got a cash raise. I'd trust a drug dealer before I would cop. At least you know they're the bad guy.

cornbiz... really? why would there be money and drugs together? usually you have one guy with drugs and another one with money. thats how buying and selling traditionally has worked. wow lots of other tools in that shed

That is the only snow that NC will see this winter.

Scubagirl, Who do you think is sending pot into this country,. muggs

I take it you've never heard of "Home Grown"?

Billfisher, Yes I have heard of home grown and thats why the market is so lucrative for the other,boo weed is as profitable as a bail of hay,get a grip you must know of what you speak and are well aware of the difference,it's not the weed it's the source causing the trouble.

Just burn down the rest of the Rain Forests, should take care of the Cocoa Plants.....

Made a lot of lawyers rich and created a Federal agency that is now out of control and draining tax dollars with little or no results. It also filled up our prison so that hard violent crimminals don't serve full time and are release to cimmit more violent crimes. Nope I say they need to stay focus on the supply.

ncpilot2 - if you're a pilot I hope you know a lot more about flying than the things you're talking about.

I agree companies and the goverment would be better off policing the user, drug testing for goverment employees, just like you would have to take one to work somewhere. Random drug testing after that. You get welfare assistance, drug testing. Fail, you lose benefits. You would think after all these years we would learn from prohibition. But if they changed the laws, think of all the goverment employees who would be out of a job.

Party at the JCSD and WCSD!!!!!

NC is a sancuary state...welcome??

Have no idea what the long term use of marijuana is but at my age I have known it has been around for many many years but as of yet have not heard of anyone dying from it's use,but have seen on a daily basis the crime and death it has caused by being supplied in the most part by the cartels of Mexico and the illegals and some leagals who are here in our country doing their business,the fight to legalize it has gone on for decades and the whole time the illegal suppliers have prospered from this not being legal,maybe a change would cut down on the crime rate if it was legal because people are going to use it if that is what they choose to do,legal or not,lets just tax it and cut way back on the criminal element it supports.

Now you know why NC is a sanctuary state. The other 90% was not found. Please, will someone follow the money trail...

On second thought, just go to the corner of Salisbury and West Jones Street in Raleigh.

Based on the amount confiscated, and the current value of what they got, I calculated it to be less than $730,000. Who taught these guys how to do math.

Unless, they're trying to make themselves look good and justify their cop jobs. Na....they wouldn't do anything like that.

@yourmadscientist

Your math comes out to less than $20/gram which is a very low price. So I suggest you check YOUR math. Well......maybe a volume discount so that might be right.

Who is using all of these drugs,it can't be working people or even that has any real position in life it seems as if it would be impossible to function maybe it is time to have mandatory drug test for everyone receiving any type federal or state funds people holding down a job just could not afford or be able to perform task while on these drugs without being noticed.

Would be interesting to find out if this individual had a job since the type vehicle is one that has a pretty good price tag and homes are not cheap to buy or even rent,get a look at his tax statements for whatever years he has been here,there are many ways to follow the trail of how long this guy has been in business I'm sure this is the only time he has been caught but he did not just start this weekend,

Couple hours ago I was on Hwy 301 in Wilson and passed by several police cars with all the pretty lights on. They had a couple cars pulled and were 'patting down' one individual. Maybe they found some more.

It's well known that the LEO inflate the price so they get more money from the Drug enforcement kitty when the time comes. Another reason that some drugs won't ever be legal. Too much money involved in the Anti-drug programs ran by the Feds, state and local goverment. This is a hughes business for the goverment.

"Who is using all of these drugs,it can't be working people or even that has any real position in life". Here is a great example of just how wrong you are. The people making the MOST money are the ones who can afford to do these drugs. A local tire plant pays some of the best wages in our state. Drug usage there is rampant and drugs are openly sold both in the plant and in the parking lot. When people have money, they tend to try and find things to spend it on for enjoyment. Boats, cars, toys, big homes, everything they ever wanted. But if something still seems to be missing, you can be sure that drugs will join the gang. While no demographic is free from drug use, poor people buy the cheapest they can afford. Crack, a little pot, whatever is available cheap. It's those folks with all the money that can afford the "good life". So don't put one demographic apart from the rest, and think about it before you make rash statements too.
