Grayson County Detention Center DeputiesTim Brooks and Jason VanMeter assisted the Grayson County Sheriff and his deputies in harvesting almost 300 marijuana plants in western Grayson County Friday morning.
The Grayson Count Sheriff’s deputies along with deputies from the Grayson County Detention Center located and destroyed over 300 marijuana plants last Friday.

In the fields of western Grayson County two separate patches of marijuana were located among corn crops by the sheriff’s deputies. The plants were cut and destroyed.

“We cut about 300 plants between both fields,” said Sheriff Rick Clemons. “One of our special deputies has a plane and spotted the plants from the air.”

On Friday morning, August 27, around 10:30 a.m., seven members of the sheriff’s department and detention center headed to western Grayson County to harvest the marijuana from two separate fields.

“We really appreciate the detention center for assisting us with the harvesting of these plants,” said Clemons. “This is such a busy time of year for our office and the extra manpower from the jail helped us out tremendously.

Clemons wouldn’t elaborate on who’s property the pot was located, but said arrests will be forthcoming.

Jason Woosley, Tim Brooks, and Jason Woosley are the deputies at the detention center that assisted the sheriff in harvesting the marijuana. Deputies Glen Embry, Billy Meredith, and Joey McClung along with the sheriff cut and destroyed the harvested plants.

Damn They Got our Crop We are not Humans. We come from the Planet Zeironion, Three Thousand light Years away. Our Host was so Nice to Let us know. You stole our Crops now you are Doomed. Marijuana is nothing more than a good drug. So lets go after the Meth Labs and the other hard Drugs. Please stop killing my pretty little weed.

As for you Cops good job wrong kind of Bust. Lets spend our resources on the hard Drugs that really kill. What a waste of Human Resources. And my tax dollars. We should of had a smoke fest would have generated alot more money. The War on Drugs has been lost for a long Time. Please bust the meth farmers and leave the small people alone. My Children really needed some shoes and some clothes. Thanks to this great economy I have a great job. NOT!!!! Thanks Wildweed.

Oh Ya I am not Human what stupid question.I am from the planet Zeironion. Your Paper needs to wake up. Are youall at the paper Human? I heard the Editor was a Avatar. And from the planet Orion in the Star Cluster of Cygnuis X-1 Just wondering. ARE YOU ALL Human? I think Not. We Are only Human if we would except the idea that Marijuana is safe. Besides the Government can make alot of money. Dumbasses. Wake up and Leagalize. As for my opinion please publish. This is what people really need to hear about. So please Legalize so we could start a new industry and create some jobs that people really need. This is my third opinion publish already all. Let the people decide. Oh Yes I am Human.

No I am from the Planet Zeironion where we live life in peace and harmoney. We all live with nature. We care about our Planet not destroy it.

We had to save it and we did. You humans are the same path soon there will be nothing if you dont change your ways. Good luck. You Humans have a long way to go. But you are running out of time.

Your Planet is in doom dont make the same mistake. Take care of your world of life it is all you have. Otherwise death to you humans. Better start to care about the Planet or it will destroy you. The planet is alive more than you think. And Yes I am not Human. HAHA

I think it is a shame that they destroyed all this crop. Somone who was unemployed was growing it to help his family out. And heck there are just so many Jobs out there with unemployment at 9.6% ya right. Well I guess the the family will starve this winter. I think the Police officers should be doing some real good by catching real criminals the Meth Labs and Hard Drugs and get them off the Street. I wish the Government would stop wasting my tax dollars on peddly things like Marijuana. We already lost the war on Drugs so lets Leagalize Marijuana already. If it was Leagal we would have all the Crap hard drugs out there. Also we could create a whole new industry which in turn would create jobs that People really need. We could make clothing,oils,rope and durable plastics out of Marijuana, and sell it like tobacco. The Government could tax it and maybe the commonwealth of Kentucky would have some money to really help the People of this great State. Heck if People had more Jobs the tax base would go up. Just Think it makes sense.

So lets stop wasting tax money on stupid things like this and Legalize Marijuana already. Lets create a new industry and create jobs. Kentucky is already one of the top Marijuana producers in this country. It already out produces tobacco. I wish this great Commonwealth would wake up and Legalize Marijuana and Create some jobs which People really need now. Stop wasting my tax dollars on something that aint even as harmful as tobacco which is more additive than Cocaine. Please stop killing all the fields and Legalize Marijuana. Lets go after the real Criminals like the Meth Labs,Hard Drugs,Murderers, and Hardened Criminals off the streets. It just makes me sick that we our time and tax Dollars on stupid crap like this. Please lets Legalize Marijuana and Create some new industries and create Jobs. Please write your Politians of this great state and Legalize Marijuana. It is time to move forward. Oh Ya to answer a myth Marijuana smoking does not lead to harder drugs I have smoked for over thirty years and never tried a harder drug. Also if we Legalized Marijuana people wold not need harder drugs. I would rather smoke Marijuana than drink alcohol at least I could still function like a human being.

Also you maybe smoke One joint in 8 hours, not like alcohol you just keep on drinking till your drunk. So lets Legalize Marijuana,Create Jobs,Create a new tax base, and stop wasting government money on a lost war. Please Legalize Marijuana. It is the right thing to do. It is time to Wake up Kentucky.
