It was 6 plants and he wants 122K.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

what's his address?
it’s obviously an indoor crop if he’s growing at this time of the year.
what’s his schedule?
is there any particular time of day that he’s always gone?

Since when is it ok to sue because someone steals plants?
We can grow over here in Australi – cops turn a blind eye… If someone steals plants they either get a shotty in the back or when the pigs catch up to them just do them for possession…
Man the US is a crazy place sometimes… 122k for 6 plants… man you’d be lucky to even gross 3 or 4 lbs out of that if they are huge…
Dont know the price of bud over there on a big scale but over here lookin at 1800 per 1 pound
that makes at most 5k worth of bud…
not only weed plants here that hold value.
my buddy ran his truck off the road years ago into a vineyatd and took out 20+ grapevines. The vineyard wanted $15k per vine, saying that they were mature vines that put out a lot of grapes year after year. His insurance co and the vineyard settled out of court. But grapevines grow grapes year after year. Once you harvest a pot plant it’s done. You may have some good seeds but the plant is history.

It's fair i think for vines...
They mature over hundreds of years and really create a distinct flavour coming from that region which goes into the wine… I understand 15k each one – It’s big business wine!
But a bit of pot… a few plants… Sheez! A couple of mates were in LA and got done with an ounce on them – Had to go to court but the judge threw it out because they were from over here! ha! He knew we have much more laxed laws about it all
Id hate to live in the states man…
pot is nothing here.
i got busted at the oakland airport. got me in that special line where they search the fuck out of you and had a half ounce in my pants. got a ticket, still made my flight, went to court, got sentenced to a 45 min drug prevention class (right after my court appearance), charges dropped, no fine, record of the arrest erased. it’s legal to grow here if you get a card. each cardholder can grow up to 77 plants and you may have 3 cardholders combine their operations so you may have 231 plants in one location. we don’t give a fuck about weed in Cali.

pretty lenient when it comes to weed.
it’s practically legal- relatively legal on a state level but still considered a controlled substance (illegal) on a federal level.

6 plants will NOT yield 3 or 4 lbs
Lucky if one indoor plants yields 2-3 oz. So maybe a little over a lb realistically.
" Its a good thing you look good in that suit, cos that's all you're gonna be doing - wearing a suit."
man - i have had a few plants each yield over half pound each... big outdoor brother...
tie em down bush em out and let the sun make em grow!
Maybe you guys cant grow like we can down here in South Australia
I was being generous in the assumption they were big(the word mature) but in reality they were probably stumpers in someone’s back room with shitty lighting like it grows over there….
Just a lack of quality
oh and by the way mate
the indoor excuse is just an excuse – had a mate with one(thats right boys and girls the number 1!) just ONE plant in a room – rightfully it filled the whole room up and he got 2 and a bit lbs out of it…. you guys need to learn ;)
we know how to do weed here in nor cal.
we know it so well that competition to sell it is fuckin fierce. and they have found a way to tax the growers. those poor street weed dealers are having a hell of a time surviving now that all the big boys are doing it. Better switch to powders, rocks, and tar fellas.

This makes Nick Diaz's win over Gomi...
Even more impressive. If Lindland is getting stoned and getting KTFOed every single fight, Diaz gogoplataing Gomi while high is a goddamn miracle.

I’ve heard of idiot savants…
Reminds me of the xkcd strip where a programmer can obtain superhuman programming skills via getting precisely the right level of drunk.
Gotta be controlled, though, or you’ll get Windows ME.

HAHA!
I was thinking the exact same thing. You beat me to it. Not that I post to often, but still. I was also wondering how someone can sue over something illegal. Like if the crackhead down the street mugged me and stole my meth. I could sue him? Backasswards country we live in. Eh canada?

Of COPS where a lady called 5-0 because a drug dealer sold her bad crack or something like that.

You sold her the shit rock didnt you?!
And then took the cash bought a new dildo and rammed it up ya while you watching from the other side of the road…
Everyone smokes weed in Oregon
It is just part of the culture. It is legal for medical use if you have a card and if you possess a small amount is just an infraction. I believe Oregon is working on a bill to legalize marijuana similar to the bill the was presented to Cali last year. And with Oregon’s climate…even being indoor plants, they are yielding a lot more than you expect.

This case is really just extortion.
In Oregon, patients own all of the marijuana and marijuana plants being grown. The grower can only be reimbursed for supplies and utilities. It is optional for the patient to even reimburse any costs and the law specifically states that growers may not be compensated for their labor. The guy bringing the suit was a registered grower, not the patient, so he has no legal basis to the plants. Thus, this case is going nowhere. The lawyer was hoping to make a quick buck by threatening to go public and now is hoping that Lindland will pay something to make this go away, but the Law isn’t one to take extortion lightly and will go to court and get this claim dismissed.
