"A New York City firefighter was hauled into federal court yesterday for allegedly growing 100 pot plants worth more than $500,000 in a Queens basement. Patrick Murray, 34, is charged with supplying the pricey hydroponic marijuana to a drug-trafficking ring that has been under investigation by the feds for a year. Authorities arrested Murray on Tuesday night after an anonymous tipster saw him hauling lights used to grow pot out of the Queens Village house, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court. Tenants in the building complained that the basement reeked of marijuana. Cops found Murray - a five-year FDNY veteran with two citations for heroism - sitting in a U-Haul truck parked out front. He was released on $250,000 bail, and has been suspended from his job at Engine Co. 292 in Woodside. A law-enforcement source said a second firefighter is also under investigation."

Poor guy.
ReplyDeleteNot the Hyrdo, I wish someone could give us a figure of how much money the state as well as the fed would save if they relaxed on the pot. How much do we spend a year to keep pot smokers in jail? Its ridiculous.
ReplyDeletelegalize it.
ReplyDeletetax it.
save the economy.
watch. just try it.
everyone does it already, might as well allow us to grow our own so we dont have to buy it from dealers. you could also make it a cash crop that farmers licensed just like tobacco grow now, and sell it just like cigarettes. imagine the windfall of money the economy would enjoy.
just imagine it.
oddly enough, the captcha letters this time, were "brack" one letter off from the president who is finally going allow this legislation to go through!!!
man what a shame, for what...waste of resources...he was a freaken firefighter trying to earn some extra $ selling a freaken plant...wonder who the snitch was?
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of resoruces. When can we finally legalize, regulate, & tax it like cigarettes & booze!?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I can't see a herion or crack addict say..Finally, they leagalized pot and I can grow my own! Now I can stop using these other drugs that I have killed for or robbed someone so I could get more!
