As if the bourbon and fried chicken wasn't enough!!

Illegal Grass Confiscated In The "Bluegrass" State

Kentucky ranks among top five states in illegal marijuana production.

Pikeville, KY -- While Kentucky is the "Bluegrass" state, authorities are finding plenty of another kind of grass, the illegal variety.

State police say they've confiscated more than $1 billion worth of marijuana this year.

Kentucky traditionally ranks among the top five states in illegal marijuana production.

Troopers say they would have found even more pot farms if not for Hurricane Katrina.

National Guard helicopters used to search Kentucky hills for pot were sent to the Gulf Coast for hurricane relief.

One official says there's so much pot grown in Kentucky that if every Kentuckian were to smoke a joint an hour, they couldn't use it all.

Well I am from Ky and have been my whole life. My fiance is originally from Pikeville, but we are both in Lexington now. And that is the truest thing I've ever heard. A person can get "smoke" anytime, anywhere, around here. Its just like cigs to some ppl. And it seems like EVERYONE smokes, doctors, lawyers, rich, poor, pretty much a normal thing to see or hear. But that is amazing the amount reading that statement at the end.

**Baby_Baby** · 11-05-2005, 09:39 AM

I'm for KY, too!!!! And I have been to Pikeville, cool town.

I think that can be said for most places (as far as how many people are consuming). But the quantity being grown, now there is someting else, though I did read a simialir article some time ago, again featuting KY as it's focal point. I really don't blame the growers either, as it seems it is mostly people who were farming anyway, and just couldn't make it on there "legitimate" crops. It's a sad comentary on the state of farming in thise country, and also how all this chasing down of weed is such a waste of time and resources, as it can grow pretty much anywhere, right under people's noses.

Well in Pa we have the omish who are supposedly one of the largest producers of pot in the US

**Baby_Baby** · 11-05-2005, 10:51 AM

dude..........for real??? =0

fishboy · 11-05-2005, 11:39 AM

yup, it's true from what i know

Georgia Peach · 11-05-2005, 01:14 PM

interesting

Beerleader · 11-05-2005, 03:33 PM

I probably shouldn't be telling this, but that was way back so oh well. But years ago when I was in my early 20's. I dated a guy and had no clue for over a year that he had an entire hydroponics grow system in the garage full of marijuana plants. He and six of his best friends all did the same thing, right here in the city of Lexington, not in the country. I often wondered where such nice grade stuff came from but I was naive. And heck he was the validictorian of the college at UK that year, would have never thought hehe. Quite amusing and definitely validates the story even more about how much is really grown here.

mrmoby · 11-05-2005, 06:10 PM

Oh yeah..that inside stuff goes on in a lot of places. Lucky you *w*...

From what I have read on other occasions, I guess the lay of the land has a lot to do with the outdoor situation, supposedly the mountainous areas provide real good coverage.

shev · 11-05-2005, 06:37 PM

Weed is a weed. it grows pretty easily.

Not much of a pot problem up here. but I bet we're leading the US in meth labs. large open areas and hidden mountain ravines theyre everywhere.

Dont worry guys im doing my part, I burn all the weed I come across.
hahahaha just kiddin.

sonofbreeder · 11-05-2005, 09:01 PM

it's all over the place here. where i work people always come in looking to sell a nickle or dime bag($5 or $10) atleast 10 people a day

fishboy · 11-05-2005, 10:14 PM

It's a crazy part of this world that you can pretend doesn't exist. I just ignore it for a few reasons
1.)It's stupid
2.)It doesn't solve anything
3.)It cost a arm and a leg

**Baby_Baby** · 11-06-2005, 04:24 PM

gosh thats just insane, its sad that people get addicted to drugs and stuff, sadder that MY home state is a leading supplier

AshleytheGreat · 11-06-2005, 06:22 PM

My neighbor sells it out of his window. He has these fireproof chest just pact full of that sick and nasty stuff. I think he stopped though b/c people were breaking in to his house. Not to mention my other neighbor has this nice little "garden" of weed right in this field next to my house. Its so funny. oh well drugs are for cowards.

mrmoby · 11-06-2005, 08:07 PM

It's only weed.......nothing wrong with a little recrerational indulgence. As far as drugs being for cowards, try being in an addicts shoies before making those kind of judgements.

fishboy · 11-07-2005, 05:14 AM

there are no "pot addicts" because pot isn't a addiction. Tobbaco is a true addictive drug because your brain thinks it needs it but with weed your brain only wants it so it's not a true addiction, at least thats what they teach us kids now adays

mrmoby · 11-07-2005, 10:15 AM

Well, at least drug education is a litle more realistic these days. When I was in school they would make you think that if you smoked a joint today, tomorrow you would be in an alley shooting smack. While I really wouldn't advocate anybody starting to smoke pot, it certainly isn't the evil some would make it out to be.It cuts across all socioeconomic lines, and if you realized who is actually partaking, it would make you rethink the notion that you can't indulge and still be a functioning, productive, upstanding memeber of society.

flamingo · 11-07-2005, 11:01 AM

If you think ky is bad you should check out my hometown, Nekoosa!

Over half of the population that lives here (and the surrounding area) smokes pot or does some other type of drug.

I bet you if you went up to a stranger on my street and asked for pot they would pull out a bag. It's sad, I know over 75 percent of the kids in my grade (9th) smoke pot.
I've smoked before, but pot? Dang im not that messed up.........yet.

My school thinks they're on top of subjects like that. If they smell a "substance" on you then they can give you a drug test if your parents agree and they check your locker. But half of the kids smell like it and cigarette smoke and nobody does anything about! They have random locker checks but 75 percent of the time you know when it's coming! A couple days before it happens everyones talking about it so they have a chance of taking whatever they have out of theyre locker.

**Fishfirst** · 11-07-2005, 02:34 PM

hahah, so true, nekoosa and rapids (my home town)are pot cities... I never have done it either, but have been to parties that have it... frankly I don't see a point, but some people that I went to highschool with that did that stuff almost all day, and now are an employee at mc donalds and still in high school, literally smoked themselves stupid.
