How does a person that age get that kind of money? You can't tell me there is not a big money man in the mix here. People think thugs bring drugs, but thugs can't afford to front out this much money. I'd say there is a business man involved here looking for a better return on investment than the banks, and for sure the stock markets offer.

Yes, this is awesome and it used to make me proud to read where we are getting drug dealers off the street. However, I just learned from a DA in Rutherford County that unless they are a THREE time offender they will most likely only get little jail time and probabtion. I know of a guy who got 3 years for growing 96 plants, served 11 months got out on parole then grew 70+ plants AGAIN got caught and only got 10 years probabtion - NO JAIL TIME, out on the streets to do it again - why do we put these police officers in danger to just put them back on the streets again? And yes there IS a business man involved in the shadows, he is the smart one, he just has these little guys do all the dirty work for him while he makes all the money and never gets jail time. That's the person they need to be after.

Internet: it gives everyone a voice regardless of IQ, if I posted that apples caused cancer you morons would believe it. Everyone lies, even cops.

I can tell anyone that reads this article that the cops are exaggerating on many many things. They did NOT find 10,000 bucks in the house In fact no money was found at the house. The part that says, “They found 60 more pounds of marijuana,” Adkison said. WRONG. Adkison is a liar, it was 40 pounds that was found in the house. Don't ask how I know this cause I'm not telling. Just don't believe everything you read... especially when it's a-hole cops trying to brag about how good of a job they did. They should know by now how the drug world works... Take out one dealer... 3 more jump in to supply the demand. Another classic example of how the drug laws don't work. Noodle on this thought for a moment... Pot has been illegal in this country since 1937. The fact that they are still fighting this supposed war should show that the current way of handling this issue, ISNT WORKING.

Devolver, Have you by chance seen the Tommy Chong special? You are so totally right. I dont see war on caffine, nocotine or alachol, all "addictive" although I guess when someone who kills someone's son while under the influence and get's 6 months jail time maybe just maybe the Rutherford County DA's office is trying to do their job (NOT!)
