Two people arrested for marijuana possession
Police arrested 35-year-old Hugh Cornick and 28-year-old Melissa Hendrickson for fifth-degree possession of marijuana Friday after police found a total of 53 marijuana plants growing in the basement of the house.

Why would you call the police for a domestic situation when you have pot growing in your basement? Do we need any more proof that pot kills brain cells?

That doesn't even make sense menace56. I happen to know for a fact that what I said was true, what's your point? Do you think it is right to assume that somebody did something they didn't?

Wingo... I am not sure but I think the reason Menace 56 called you a hypocrite is cuz you must have prejudged some one in past blogs. Not absolutely sure that is what he meant but that is what I got out of it when I first read it. Maybe not tho.

If that is what he meant, he miss read my blogs, that is one of my pet peeves, assuming and prejudging. I don't understand his post at all.
