  • BoneStamp, on 06/18/2009, -4/+35True. God put that plant on this earth to be eaten.
  • bloodhound01, on 06/18/2009, -3/+32Ahh, another sports champion arrested for marijuana. That ***** is 100% harmful.
  • bobjohnsonmilw, on 06/18/2009, -0/+24Man, she had one HELL of a weekend planned.
  • RumpleForeskin3, on 06/18/2009, -4/+25Marijuana affects picking up sarcasm...
  • BoneStamp, on 06/18/2009, -5/+26Yes, I think we've all seen good examples of the first three. But, can you reference a case where cannabis killed someone who consumed it (by any method)?
  • Pile, on 06/18/2009, -3/+21Now I know how people can afford those crazy-expensive bikes.
  • wannaBdug, on 06/18/2009, -4/+22I'm sure she was bringing it to her ailing grandmother who has cancer.
  • inactive, on 06/18/2009, -1/+17Well, if you smoke pot, you WILL die. . . same as if you don't indulge.
  • videodroner, on 06/18/2009, -1/+17Talk about going downhill.
  • RumpleForeskin3, on 06/18/2009, -14/+30This just goes to show, if you smoke weed, you can win gold medals, be president, ride a mountain bike down a hill really fast, OR DIE!!
  • inactive, on 06/18/2009, -0/+15That's a lot of pot, momma.

    And she's one hard-core lookin' lady. . . http://inlinethumb53.webshots.com/24372/2808660790 ...
  • inactive, on 06/18/2009, -2/+17blazing and mountain biking go hand in hand. woah man, I'm like rolling around and ***** whats going on
  • BoneStamp, on 06/18/2009, -4/+18Bad sarcasm affects picking up sarcasm. ;)
  • DankBuddz, on 06/18/2009, -0/+13I think he was making the point that, if gold medalists use marijuana, maybe it isn't so bad after all.
  • DankBuddz, on 06/18/2009, -1/+14Mmmm yum.
  • minorthreat, on 06/18/2009, -3/+15I'd love to hear your reasons for why it's bad...
  • Xaevier, on 06/18/2009, -0/+10Theres a BIG difference between "They caught him for possession" and 'They caught her with enough weed to get an entire town high"

    She clearly was a dealer that's not some small slap on the wrist.
  • DankBuddz, on 06/18/2009, -4/+13Why?

    Nevermind, don't waste your time, you're too far gone.
  • diggduggDOOM, on 06/18/2009, -1/+10I didn't know one could arrest pot in any amount. Did Missy Giove have to read pot the Miranda warning?
  • zuiquan, on 06/18/2009, -0/+9Everyone dies regardless of whether or not they smoke weed. So far it's a 100% death rate.
  • the2989, on 06/18/2009, -0/+9Pot is bad because if you smoke it you'll look like one of those shady washed-up goth kids like in the commercials, duh.

    /s
  • cannonball, on 06/18/2009, -3/+10smoking pot isn't any worse than...

    drinking, eating fast food, playing video games, taking pain medication or having sex.

    they can all be dangerous to your health, so don't do it, kids!
  • shrudheuie, on 06/18/2009, -0/+7Holy *****!! We should just put her to death! My god I thought the terrorists were bad but this weed ***** is deadly! Dahmer's got nothing on this chick. Lets just pull the switch and set an example.
  • pirategonzo, on 06/18/2009, -0/+7you're cooking up some brownies AND a buncha brownies on top of that?!?! CAN I COME OVER??? My name isn't Missy but I sure do love brownies!
  • wilcocola, on 06/18/2009, -0/+7you may laugh, but I consider myself an expert at both and they definitely DOOOOOOO
  • aspec, on 06/18/2009, -0/+6Seriously, man, if you insist on communicating in English, I insist that you learn it first.
  • 42Vindictive, on 06/18/2009, -0/+6... What?
  • nowherekido3, on 06/18/2009, -2/+7im pretty sure the last part was sarcasm
  • foofightrs777, on 06/18/2009, -0/+5NExt thing you know hikers and concert-goers will be consuming the demon weed. SLIPPERY SLOPE HERE PEOPLE!!! You certainly don't want to be responsible for the murder of thousands upon thousand of bags of Cheetos. There is orange flavoring on your hands!
  • sfanetti, on 06/18/2009, -0/+5Why the ***** is weed still illegal? I wish these ***** politicians would stop banging their mistresses long enough to do something rational and legalize cannabis.
  • JakeBC, on 06/18/2009, -0/+5A mountain biker with weed?!? What's next, snowboarders?
  • Anoobis, on 06/18/2009, -0/+5real name is melissa which i believe is quite common.
  • inactive, on 06/18/2009, -2/+7Hey Missy, wanna come over? I'm cooking up some brownies and a buncha brownies.
  • gantz9x, on 06/18/2009, -1/+6all these marijuana busts are just a waste of tax payers money and courts time.
  • the2989, on 06/18/2009, -1/+6Maybe they should just legalize it so people don't have to do risky life-or-death drug missions like this.
  • bwhite, on 06/18/2009, -1/+5That's no woman!
  • Airbear007, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4I think its great i just wish i could barrow a pound or two from that stash!
  • Talphin, on 06/18/2009, -2/+6*****... When I have 400 lbs of weed, I consider myself to be out of weed...
  • inactive, on 06/18/2009, -1/+5Yeah...when you look at her me thinks she did more than just pot...
  • pirategonzo, on 06/18/2009, -1/+5She used to be a biking champ and is not anymore? Ex-biking champ.
  • BoneStamp, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4I like where you're going with the jam idea... Pot Jam! Spread it on everything.
  • sfanetti, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4I hate this ***** country so much sometimes. Weed is the most innocuous substance one could abuse -- far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. There is no reason other than pansy ass Republitard hand wringing for cannabis to be illegal. If you cannot consume a dose in which you could OD, it should not be illegal.
  • DankBuddz, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4That's why you jar it up and store it in your freezer... like jam.
  • palmer, on 06/18/2009, -0/+3Why is there a picture of a tennis player attached to this post, a picture that doesn't even come from the story?
  • ImperialSoren, on 06/18/2009, -0/+3$93,000 of taxpayer money wasted trying to enforce an unenforceable law. Six officers and one DA brought up on charges of frivolity and felony ignorance. Thousands of lobbyists, politicians, and lawmakers indicted on conspiracy charges regarding the grossly negligent handling of Marijuana over the past 40 years. Top level offenders are expected to be hanged if convicted.
  • calypsoschnitzl, on 06/18/2009, -0/+3Banging their mistresses while loading up the bong...
    Damn I'm sure Bush was stoned half of the time, he couldn't even string two words together.
  • gakboi, on 06/18/2009, -1/+4True (the 1st part). 2nd part not so. People like her provide a vital service to millions of people nationwide. People in the service lane aren't.
  • zuiquan, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3There wasn't any cash in the original article, just the 400 lbs of pot. Also, who's not to say that money isn't from her mountain biking. This dude was the king of ladies biking in the 90's. Hope she's got a good accountant.
