Betcha someone down there has (a lot) more…
Damn revenuers! 🙂
Reminds me of the old timers and stills…
Now it’s about legal, meaning they are paying taxes, or illegal.
Like Granny on Beverly Hillbillies.
Those poor people were probably just trying to get by.
I guess when these people graduated from the blackmarket underground community education system, they must have missed that day in class when they instructed you not to keep your cash where you keep and sell your weed. Is that why they call it dope?
Rookies
No 💩 !
Along w/ an owe book! Brilliant!
Cartel?
Definitely, they weren’t named Jones or Smith..
No
Definitely not. Just people trying to get by.
Well they are back at it again today the black butte county helicopter that always fly’s before busting flew several places in sohum
As long as there’s money in the budget for them to do it they will need to spend that money. Is it being funded by the dispensary taxes and the permit fees through the state Cannabis Control Board? You get what you pay for!
You know the tail number by chance so we can check flight logs?
