And the press release mentions that several times.

According to the DEA,

Schedule I

Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are:

heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote.

I think they were pretty clear in their definition of narcotics.
Don’t let the big words scare you.

Schedule I is a grab-bag of pharmaceuticals and hippie drugs, really pretty well the opposite of a clearly defined category. The listed substances, for example, include semi-synthetics (heroin), lab-synthesized drugs (MDMA), and minimally processed plant products (weed and shrooms).

Cops have long used “narcotic” to denote and to demonize illegal substances, without regard to the appropriateness of the term. Pharmacologically, a narcotic substance induces sleep or a sleep-like state. It’s daft to refer to the broad variety of drug classes grouped in Schedule I as “narcotics,” and to defend the term as clear and precise looks to me like a form of epistemological bootlicking.

They dont scare me they scare you obviously. So the government can tax narcotics and its ok but then they call it cannabis. Another big word is the word sophisticated they used to explain lights hanging in a big shed with a generator and a gas tank . Very simple actually. Have they never seen this before I’m sure they have but they use there biased words to promote themselves and there activities and make things seem worse so then they think they can trick everyone into thinking there job is important and get more green money for funding. So they discriminately demonize cannabis growers and creating prejudice against a type of person which is the cannabis grower then the growers all get generalized as bad people. Its a sign of accepted discrimination by law enforcement and shows how some things are ok in society to discriminate against which is a double standard. So now leos with there press release are pushing demonizing and discrimination against a group of farmers and agricultural growers no different than grape growers. The excess tax and permitting fees are a direct example of discrimination against cannabis farmers . The discriminatory and demonizing words used by law enforcement and discriminatory excess tax and fees needs to stop as well no one human being should be singled out to pay more when there agriculture growing is no different than the other types like growing grapes for alcoholic beverages that cause many more health problems than cannabis . End cannabis grower discrimination now ! A plant grower should have the same rules and fees and taxes and rights as any other plant grower.

“Sophisticated”…. lol! I remember that one. Every single time, it was those cunning, sly, evil geniuses doing the indoor grows!
But if those were sophisticated, what did they call the ones that WEREN’T full of mind-boggling masses of questionable wiring, jerry-rigged venting, slobbish piles of plastic junk just outside, etc.?

Go home weed narcotic? And I see no charges for shrooms…. I’d put alcohol on the narcotic list before weed….

To bad the tenth amendment explicitly leaves such matters to the state level where cannabis cultivation is a misdemeanor
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

So easy to find a felony on a grow. Seep well aggravates cultivation to felony. Renting a house and growing a felony. Having a worker felony, and that pot laying around. Possession intent to sell , felony. I had 5 felonies 5 misdemeanor thrown at me

None of the schedule 1 drugs mentioned, except heroin, are traditional narcotics.
The definition of a narcotic has changed in recent years to include stimulants and hallucinogens, however, the scientific term refers only to physically addictive pain medication, usually opiates (which are plant derived. Opioids are synthetic and therefore easily patentable)

Oi trinity county come on Cannabis literally is at least 75% of the economy up there. Give the growers a break.
At this point the cannabiz is propping up the hollowed out natural resources economy in the woods…good grief. You’d think the LE just wants a piece of the pie, the whole pie chomp chomp. Bet those chiggers eat the shrooms they confiscated..how much you wanna bet…
