"The bright green stalks, their buds sticky to the touch with mind-altering resins..."
Something tells me this reporter in Roseburg knew a little bit about the subject of her article. There's more than hint of longing in that turn of phrase.

What a waste. All that medical marijuana from which the state could derive much needed income. All those patients who could obtain their medicine at a reasonable price from the state instead of relying upon growers who derive income from this cash crop and undoubtedly sell excess on the black market. I wonder whether underpaid law enforcement personnel are tempted to pocket a bit for use and/or extra income??

But the effort put into nurturing a seed into a 6-foot high stalk -- the deer netting, the irrigation system, the booby traps -- was all for not.
There's more than a hint of incompetence in that turn of phrase, too.

Just doing the jobs Americans won't do.

I didn't see the phrase "mind altering resins" in the linked article. But I think it's a shame some of that bud won't make its way to Portland this fall.
Plenty more will, that's for sure.

It looks as though the folks in Roseburg actually changed the text of that article on line.
The original version of the text is here.

Back in the day, I always hated when that happened...
