  • Frankyfan3, on 02/04/2009, -12/+316"A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
    -- Abraham Lincoln, December 8, 1840

    "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."
    Albert Einstein - Physicist, Nobel Prize Winner

    "Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
    -- DEA's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young. Source: US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Agency, "In the Matter of Marijuana Rescheduling Petition," [Docket #86-22], (September 6, 1988), p. 57.

    "One of the problems that the marijuana reform movement consistently faces is that everyone wants to talk about what marijuana does, but no one ever wants to look at what marijuana prohibition does.

    * Marijuana never kicks down your door in the middle of the night.
    * Marijuana never locks up sick and dying people.
    * Marijuana does not suppress medical research.
    * Marijuana does not peek in bedroom windows.

    Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."
    -- Richard Cowan, Former head of NORML

  • skyshock1, on 02/04/2009, -2/+38Well... here's 1 lb. - http://www.mitchellcountyga.net/swgadtf/assets/ima ...

    Now imagine 9000 of these! That's over 4 tons of weed. I don't know that I buy this story. What is the weight limit a school bus can carry?

    Let's do some math shall we.....

    http://www.advancedrt.com/articles/rtarticles/scho ...

    Typical school bus weighs between 12-15 tons. You're going to tell me that 4 tons of this was marijuana? How much does a trash bag full of leaves weigh? 30 pounds? That would mean the school bus would theoretically have 300 trash bags full of weed (stretched to their weight limit). Assuming you're using a 30 gallon trash bag, that's 1200 cubic feet of room inside the bus that would be needed to hold all that pot.

    According to this guy - http://www.vonslatt.com/bus-main.shtml the interior dimensions are 35' x 7.5' x 6.5'... which translates to 1706.25 cubic feet. So if you need 1200 cubic feet (again, assuming the bags are compacted down to reduce airspace, and the inside is 1706 cubic feet... that's only 500 cubic feet of airspace inside the bus (presumably JUST enough for the driver's seat!).

    Someone HAD to have noticed a school bus with the entire interior seating removed and replaced with stacks and stacks of pot going down the road. That's not exactly something you can just hide.

  • Joodtimes, on 02/04/2009, -0/+32I would take exactly 9000 pounds and a school bus.
  • BenTheTank, on 02/04/2009, -4/+36I can't even picture what 9k lbs of weed looks like...

    The stoners should have known that nothing is MORE suspicious than a school bus not taking kids to/from school.
