DB is a long-time advocate of alt-medicine. If it wasn't so serious I'd laugh at KETV who mis-reported that he is a "major player in the national marijuana trade." Many, many, many folks use herbs to self-medicate for depression & stress. All you people on prescriptions might give it a try.

Wow,once again the police nab the big bad drug dealers..really? How about all these meth and crack dealers who sell poison to kids? I believe the real criminals in the war on drugs,are the prescription drug dealers,(which is totally legal).How many people die every year because of THESE drugs?IMO,"weed" should be legal,the only reason it isn't is because it would reduce the BILLIONS in profits goin to these fat cats w/ drug companies,who's products,I might add,in most cases are doing more harm than good.Yes,I agree,the law is the law and I respect that,but thinking "weed" is a killer drug,do some research on the subject.Watching "Reefer Madness" from the 30's doesn't count.
