Man says pot valued at $80k was for wife
DE SOTO, Kan. – Eighty thousand dollars worth of marijuana plants were seized Friday night from a De Soto home, and the homeowner says the drugs were for his sick wife.
An anonymous tip led police to Robert Neeland's home in the 8300 block of Penner. They found exactly what they were looking for, but Neeland was not arrested.
Investigators say they will forward the evidence to the prosecutor's office and await charges to make an arrest.
Meanwhile, Neeland says he thought the benefits of the drugs would outweigh the negative side.
"(My wife is) just depressed you know," Neeland said at his home Saturday. "Depression is part of it and, then part of it is getting that appetite to want to eat, you know"
<skip>
Neeland also says he planned to eventually stop the operation. "I wasn't going to run it forever," he said. "I was going to shut it down, try to kick a little stash back."
Police also seized 14 guns from Neeland's home and two vehicles. The Kansas Department of Revenue estimates that he owes approximately $18,000 in taxes from the illegal drugs.

6. LOL...

Of course, I think pot should be legal so that makes me not give a damn.

2. "...try to kick a little stash back."
Does that mean he also admitted he was going to sell some of it?
Did this man NOT understand his Miranda rights?
Was he ****ing stoned or something?

5. What would happen if some yahoo with a cesna just spread pot seeds all over a city at random?
I'm just wondering.
Would "weed" just start growing like weeds everywhere?

8. It's insulting and ridiculous.
If those seedlings in the picture are what they are referring to it isn't worth anything at all yet. And Hell, you'd need over 20 pounds of the very best stuff for it to be worth 80k. It's just ludicrous

11. I always do the math and I am amazed at what cops think pot costs. $500 an ounce? Yeah right.

10. Back in the 70's our next door neighbor at the time was dying of cancer
His wife approached my mother, who had 5 kids -- three teenagers at the time, to ask what was the best way to get some pot. I won't say which in our family helped this poor woman and man, but, suffice it to say, she came to the right house. (I was but a mere kid at the time, for the record )
My mother always said she just couldn't stand the thought of that woman standing out on the street or hanging out at the park looking for a lid (that's what it was called back then, remember?).
That being said, wonder if this guy's story will pan out?
I dunno.
I think the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher, rather than using marijuana to ameliorate what ails her, she should get some cases of Lydia Pinkham's famous Special Vegetable Compound for Female Problems.

Amazing how knowledgeable they are of the cost of pot. I couldn't begin to tell you what it would/should sell for.

They can do appraisals from photographs. THAT, my friend, takes experience.

Most of us with jobs and kids and who live in reality are too busy to know these things.

Tex, I'm with you. I don't have any frame of reference to judge price..not currently and not in the past. They know an awful lot about drugs and being arrested...

I did a job in VA Beach, VA once and I was amazed at the times someone walking down the street would ask me if I wanted to buy drugs. When I said 'NO' they would ask me if I knew anyone else who may be interested. :thatsright:
Sheesh

That was not uncommon in DC in the late 80s and early 90s depending on the neighborhood I was in. What got me was, in the early 90s, I had to go to NYC for some conference. A man offered to sell me some pot and called me "sir" throughout (he was so polite I couldn't believe he was selling pot - it must have taken a good 5 minutes before I figured it out!)

That was I, sir, modifying your post.
You have the honor of having the first post modified by the moderator franksolich.
I was curious to see if I could do it, and I could.
When quoting use [ quote] the first time, and then [ /quote] at the end of the quote.
That little "/" makes a difference.
(No space between "[" and "quote," and no space between "[" and "/quote," as I did above, though; I had to do that so I wouldn't be quoting myself.)
