Cow patty?

This is ridiculous. Spend time and money on real criminals, trafficking serious drugs. Idaho should be responsible for spending tax payer money and have to pay back any and all court costs, attorney fees, and any expenses relating to jailing truck driver.

It's just a frikin plant.

Thankyou for this drug bust! I feel much safer now 🙄

Feel like the driver is getting mistreated. He did everything right and got arrested because various states and the feds can’t agree.

NOT RIGHT!!

Middle town NY drug bust. 25 hand guns. $200.000.00,2.5lbs cocaine & 1300fentanyl pills. Busted was a lieutenant from fire dept and a former police officer. Charged with drug trafficking.

Pot is totally legal in Oregon--what's up?

Looks like fat juicy buds to me...

Oh for God Sakes Idaho! Remember when liquor was outlawed? Once the Fed Govt can figure out how to tax it they will be all in.

What bullshit !

Nobody should go to prison or jail for weed anymore.

Truck Driver in the middle again.

Stupid. Makes no sense.

This is gray or grey.

Can’t do the time don’t do the crime.

Put a wall around Oregon and don’t let me out!

Well it is not legal in Idaho!!!

Man, I hope that's not supposed to be smoked. It looks horrible!

Really wasted money and time

Oh snap

Man... so what. It’s just weed.

Take a toke you will know if it's one or the other.

It’s fucking HEMP! You know, tall, skinny stalks that have no psychoactive effect... 🌱LEGALIZE ALL CANNABIS 🌱HEMP AND MARIJUANA OMG! Cannabis education is desperately needed.

Ridiculous just legalize this nationally and tax it to pay down the debt

Oh look... NOT ‘Made in Mexico’.

TheresaMarosy 7,000?

Legalization - Just make it federally legal you bunch of tool bags... it's gonna happen anyway. You can't stop it. It's money in the bank for states. Marijuana sales will make up revenue for the mismanagement of state spending. It's a win win!

A problem only humans could create 🤦🏻‍♂️ Just legalize it already!!

Need a wall around Idaho

I feel sorry for the truck driver. If you can’t tell by looking is the state expecting truck drivers to have their own THC detection kit? The company shipping it should be charged if it in fact has THC in it.

Fake News Network headlines, it will all sort it’s way, no crime no time.

Felony charges..

Colorado is a legal state, why are they buying from Oregon?! Smh

Cops are going to lose this fight....

Guess he shoulda stayed in Oregon

Lock him up ? Or just let it go up in smoke ? 😉

It should all be legalized in every state. What a waste of time, money, peoples lives.

Legalize marijuana for recreational use in all 50 states!

Well now, this may be the breaking point everyone has been waiting for. Are we really going to punish someone for something that is quickly becoming legal in most states?

We need Federal action. It would address interstate commerce and banking, as well as other issues.

Hemp was a staple of the American colonies - And every other country in the world grows it! Its sustainable!!!!!

Maybe they should build a wall.

Seven THOUSAND POUNDS in one truck? That's a lot of weed.

Meanwhile people are dying from heroin while these fools are busy with this nonsense.

Why is marijuana still illegal?

Tell me, was the driver an illegal immigrant? $50 says of course not.

It might be legal there, but not at the point origin.

keaton_thomas So dumb.

Set him free.

Donald where are you...FFS pardon everyone involved and invite them to next years SOTU 🤣

When can we unconditionally surrender to the plant? ts been decades and trillions ofd dollars and the plant is still winning the war, and it does it without even killing anyone.

all those resources for a plant..

Just say NO to Drugs. KAG

Whatever you do, don't send it to the Massachusetts crime lab. LOL!

They are potatoes...

Port of entry?

Such outdated laws this country has. The fact that pot is illegal anywhere is just prehistoric. But booze is ok!

If it’s cbd then it’s legal! Only thc is illegal do your research first

Doesn’t even look good

So is the company deny it's driver

Why natural herb could be illegal to possess?

Punish that man for carrying plants around....

Such a waste of time, but opioids that kill are legal.

не хило мусора будет веселиться 🤣

zekok0

So silly.

Should be legal. Opiods kill . Pot heals.

This is why all plants should be legal. freetheplant freemarkets goawaygovernment

No one seemed to have thought that out.

Weed ruins lives

Pot is bad!
