WOW good job for Reno's finest! That will be two gold stars for the week and maybe a pizza party! I'm so glad to see the N.I.T.F and those nice boys from S.E.T. can all play together!! the only thing that troubles me is all the windows are not broke out or should we say blown out from the raid? Those silly boys must have forgot them back at the office. Maybe no pizza party then, just the two gold stars is all they get. NOT!!! I'm no CPA. tax guy but i would bet the cost of the raid ,clean up, cops,and DEA pay,housing, secured transpo too and from court,public pretenders,DA office, court cost,then the prison cost to house these guys and all the B S in between. WOW and this is just one case were talking about. The USA leads the hole world in spending on the so faulty WAR ON DRUGS and its not working. It will never work. Wake up America before its too late. New World Order is not a joke! this was a drug raid, now close your eyes and picture it being a raid for woman and children or to remove all guns and weapons! don't think it couldn't happen

if unemployment was not at an all time high people would not have to resort to these means of living . furthermore if it was legal we would save millions yearly by not busting, and create billions in revenue

yeah, woohoo! our country is now a better place to live. what a waste of gov't time and money...which our gov't is so good at doing. it's a victimless crime. get over it! how much crime, gang turf wars and murders would be non existent if we would just legalize drugs? The War on Drugs cannot be won and we would save several billions of dollars by realizing it. Ron Paul for President, now! (and Gary Johnson for VP!)

Talk about glamorization. 800 plants will NOT produce 800 lbs. One plant might see a harvest of 1-2 ounces. And again, the value calculator seems to be burning its circuits. Not worth even close to $2m. Let's stop demonizing something that should be legal, regulated and taxed. Also would like to point out; contrary to popular belief, the legalization and taxation of marijuana would NOT eliminate debt and deficit. But it certainly WOULD help. Just one of many things that our government should implement to bring more money in. It's sad to think of the sheer amount of disinformation spread about something that's relatively harmless. Maybe one day people will pull their heads out..... But I kinda doubt it.

just think of the TAX revenue the State, or city, might have seen if similar tobacco taxes were applied to the sale and distribution of "herbaceuticals." Now, expand that concept nationwide; remove the source of income from gangs/Mexican cartels and return it to peaceful botanists or agriculturalists; reduce federal, state and local spending for the "war on drugs" and watch budget deficits magically eliminated! Many of this country's founding fathers grew and cultivated the stuff (a.k.a., hemp) for use in fabric, rope and paper (among others). A remarkable, multi-use sustainable plant and multiple industries, all generating tax revenue, reducing financial incentive for/of crime, and making American industry strong once more! now, where'd I put that bong . . .
