Former Leader of The Cornbread Mafia – Fugitive John “Johnny” Robert Boone Arrested
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 23, 2016) – An extensive eight-year fugitive investigation into the location of John “Johnny” Boone, led the U.S. Marshals Service to a small town outside of Montreal, Canada on December 22. This information was passed on to law enforcement in Canada and Boone was arrested today by Canadian law enforcement officials in Montreal.
On October 8, 2008, a federal arrest warrant was issued for John Robert Boone a/k/a “Johnny Boone” out of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, charging him with the manufacture and possession with intent to manufacture and distribute marijuana. These charges were a result of an investigation by the Kentucky State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration where over 2,000 marijuana plants were found on Boone’s farm in Springfield, KY. This was Boone’s third federal case and Boone faces a possible punishment of life in prison. Boone went on the run after the warrant was issued. Boone had been previously featured on “America’s Most Wanted”.
Boone is currently detained in Canada on immigration charges and awaiting extradition to the U.S.
This arrest was a result of investigative efforts by the U.S. Marshals Service in the Western District of Kentucky and Canadian Law Enforcement Officials.

It's worth noting that the 2000 plants were tiny sprouts in trays on a wagon not a multi acre patch...also if convicted this 73yr old man faces life in prison

Marijuana isn't physically addictive, you faggot.
Stop acting like it isn't 2016; in some states the guy would only get a ticket for unauthorized manufacturing. Now he has to die in prison.
If someone chooses to get high all the time, why does it matter to you? Getting high is nothing like your racist granny told you it's like.
Freedom is more important than your shitty biased views.

Wonder how much that cost the taxpayers?
Now we have to pay to imprison him too?
Who lobbies against legalization:
1. Pharmaceutical corporations
2. Police unions
3. Private prison corporations
4. Prison guard unions
5. Alcohol and beer companies

In states where pot is legal the sales of painkillers and other drugs has gone down.

also, opiate overdoses dropped by roughly 25%

Coincidently, the DEA recently classified CBD (which doesn't get people high) as a schedule 1 drug. Why would they do this other than to protect pharmaceutical corporations?

Keeping marijuana illegal protects profits, not people.

Can quote someone but doesn't respond to the actual post. So many words coming from your mouth with nothing to say. Not OP but people like you are fucking cancer. Take an actual stance if you're going to argue instead of just making yourself look immature by literally mimicking the previous post.

We shouldn't have to pay to imprison him, on-the-spot execution will do.
