I look at both sides and all the facts before I make my choices. But to judge somebody guilty because you read it in the newspaper is wrong. No matter how many times they are arrest until after they go to court. That is what the Nazis did to the Jews and Gypsy.

We do agree the gun running is wrong. The guns are killing Mexicans also not just scaring officials and the people letting the gun go knew this had a ability to happen is this not exporting terrorism. America needs to lead by example.

Here is another mistake the US government does not what you to know. The ability to buy guns is at the heart of the Cartels power and knowledge SWAT tactics{trained by the US Military}. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO9Mo8bVcj0] This almost seems like Iran Contra deal that was against the orders of Congress. The Abuse is clear and we are repeating history.

The number 1 money maker is marijuana and drugs which funds all the other products. A war is coming unlike anything seen before if prohibition of all drugs is not repealed. To Win the world must try what Portugal[http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g9C6x99EnFVdFuXw_B8pvDRzLqcA] is doing with the Addicted and regulating of the drugs.


Take a page from history the American Plains Indian's to win this war. The food supply taken away by the US government killing all the Buffalo. Take away the drug money the drugs are just a product to make money.
As for me I do not do any drugs but would like a black label for have a 6-liter of pop a day habit. But new knowledge has been confirmed and it has help me to to quit. I am now down to less than 3liters a day. [http://abcnewsradioonline.com/health-news/tag/heart-disease] 36 oz of soda pop will increase your chance of a heart attack or stroke by 65%.
I now think with the new studies out soda pop and just plain sugar products are now more dangerous than all drug and car-wrecks deaths combined. I would love to see them to make corn syrup made illegal.
Here is one other thing by pointing out the facts and truths of the drug war I am putting my life in danger to educate you and other people of Montana. {http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/05/world/americas/in-mexico-facts-blur-as-online-feud-ends-in-a-draw.html} So my choice to decimalize or legalize all drugs does not come lightly. Just by give gang unwanted attentions. http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2011/08/03/more-journalists-killed-in-mexicos-drug-war-than-in-afghanistan/ So going to jail is the not my worst worry.

Just because you were born here does not mean you know anything. I sound like a nazi? Because I am for people being put in jail for crimes thy commit? Ok... Just for your info.. I have lived in more places in this wonderful country than you will ever visit. Havre, MT is a wonderful place to live and grow, unlike many of the other places that I have previously lived. I do not want to see Havre turn into those places. And it wont as long as every criminal is dealt with like these two. Like I mentioned before... These two had their chance to sell drugs legally.. They decided to get greedy and messed up. That is on them.

Fast and furious was the operation of selling "marked" weapons to the cartels.. Yea pretty stupid. I am not disputing that one bit. The weapons were used to kill a good American. The weapons were used by the cartels to commit murders and go scare Mexican officals into doing what they wanted. Control areas of Mexico for drug smuggling. So maybe you can tie that into small town Havre. The less weapons, the less illegal drugs coming into the US. Even more of a reason to do away with this awful gateway drug.

I am looking forward to seeing these two women in jail for a long time. And it is apparent that with your pro-illegal drug attitude you wont be far behind them.

THANK YOU WOW. For calling me Nobody is a complement because I took the name from the story of Odessa and the inland of cyclops. I like debating people like you it give me a chance to state the real facts and not propaganda like the the Nazis.

Those two girls have not been convinced of anything but yet you have
them in jail and and stripped. You should never be a junior!!! Those
two girls are standing up against the federal government like the people that signed the Declaration of Independence of the United States against a broken Justice system. Which why I think those two girls have more guts in their little finger than a hundreds of you.

Fast and furious has everything to do with Havre MT. when my nieces and nephews are going to war in Irag because of weapons of mass destruction or Afghanistan and Pakistan for exporting terrorism. Our we just as corrupt as the Chinese at commenting murder.

On Montana’s seven Indian Reservations, far from Los Angeles, Chicago,
and New York, gang activity has become a dangerous new reality. Twenty
gangs, in all, have been identified across the state. In proximity to
the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Reservation, nine known gangs have
emerged in the small towns of Poplar and Wolf Point.
http://www.mtpioneer.com/2010-January-3-Gangs-Montana.html
Havre is between two Indian reservation so what do you think WOW still
got the blindfold on? Where there is money to be made you will find
gangs.

I might not be able to change your mind WOW but if I can change one
mind a day with Education and facts. I will. It is my right to question the American Government policy and laws. I am born to this area but unlike you I have seen the world and how it effects all of Montana including Hill country because the war is already in the American Cities and spreading like the Ebola that is air born.


Wow Sounds like law enforcement or a Nazis. WOW could be Jethro from the Beverly Hill Billies.

Hey nobody... You are a nobody. If you have even been around these people or know the case you would understand..but you don't. You run your mouth and add a bunch of links that no one cares about. Learn the case little fella. Know the facts of the case then speak. Fast and furious has nothing to do with Havre MT. We don't have cartels here. We have small time dealers who are overzealous and want more money. These women had their chance to do things legally with their mm cards. They screwed that up.That has nothing to do with the feds or cartels in Juarez. Maybe you should go hook up with their attorneys and try to help these future felons out. You don't like MT or Havre leave. Keep your useless articles to yourself cuz we don't care what you think. People who commit crimes deserve to spend time in jail.. These two are no different.

Hey WOW
If you read in the paper and presume people are guilty. Have you read about The feds running guns knowing these guns in fast and furious program.{http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20114184-10391695.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody} will kill people to Mexico cartels is that not exporting terrorism. But nobody has gone the jail yet.
The drug laws of the United States do not work. What happens when the Latin American Countries decriminalize or legalize drugs like Portugal? Which by the way has the lowest teenage use and people in jails because of drugs in the world. Education does work. We should give it a try.
Hey wow. They are presumed innocents until, when they have their day in court.

Ok, this has nothing to do with other countries.. This is about 2 women who were allowed to sell mj, got greedy and sold to the wrong person. That in turn lead them to being caught with more than they were suppose to have in their possession. Nevermind Lainie getting BUSTED in Oregon with one of Havre's finest with 12lbs or so. This is terrible. Let the feds take it over since these people cant even follow the laws that they pretty much created. Money will always be more important to DRUG DEALERS!! Lock them up and throw away the key!

The leaders of some Latin American countries did challenge the conventional wisdom that the way to deal with illegal drug trafficking is with firepower. Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina and others are offering serious alternatives, such as legalization.

Prohibition has has put the military police in the streets of Mexico and is destroying other South and Central American countries. Are we next to have military in our streets?

Ironically, none of you address the Oregon issue. Typical. Montanafesto makes statements regarding what I assume to be about the new charges. Did you read the charging documents? In the previous Hill County case they DID have too much pot, (sorry, medicine) an amount their little plants could not have provided (hmmm, trips to Oregon needed?) and were selling to people that were not their patients..... you all want to keep screaming about how they have done nothing wrong. Well, it appears they have. In response to this being about "revenge" it's a probability. If these girls were in TOTAL COMPLIANCE of the law they would not continue to find themselves in jail and in the headlines. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that law enforcement would try again. I guess most people with any level of common sense would have been living strictly by the letter and not put themselves in a position to be arrested again..... I'm anxiously awaiting an updated article on what they didn't do wrong this time.

These providers weren't over their allowed numbers of plants, weren't over the allowed amount of medicine. It sounds to me like the state is seeking revenge after their case was dismissed due to gross police misconduct (of course they appealed).

Prohibition is the problem, ending it is the solution. Marijuana was not banned because it is dangerous, it is the one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. In the history of time, not even ONE person has perished due to an overdose of cannabis. The same can't even be said for water.

Let me remind the public that when someone is arrested for a crime, that alone doesn't mean they are guilty. We operate in America under a legal presumption of innocence. From the article, it is clear the Havre media has already convicted these girls. Shame on you.

As for those of you who seem to be garnering pleasure at the expense of others, look around you. There are many problems in our state far more pressing than state-licensed medical marijuana providers. Get your priorities straight.

belly aching crybabys did u ever try mm i will bet the ppl who r not 4 mm r on pills so u should check ur backyard b4 critizing anybody

For pity sakes! People should be able to grow, use, and have the plant for whatever they want. It is a plant that god gave to us to use and to heal. If you want to get rid of anything it should be alcohol. These girls are doing nothing wrong besides standing up for their rights to be caregivers and provide medical marijuana to their patients. The reason for the extra is so you aren't running every other day to fulfill the needs of your patients. Do your research people no one has ever died from the consumption of marijuana, so there. Leave them alone and go and get the meth dealers and the alcoholics killing off the people. IT IS A PLANT. I agree with the re-vote it is going to blow everyone away and should be full on legalization as far as I'm concerned. These are beautiful plants and the smell is awesome. If it were legalized and we were able to grow fields we wouldn't have to worry about anything or even buying it. It should be free. Land of the free right? What a joke. GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH!!

u really dont know the story and i so disagree with what u all say. everything in the paper is not aleays true. we need to vote to get rid of alcohol its not any better. drinking and driving and not to say that people want to take prescription drugs for there pain. lets all overdose on those. M.M should be taxed just like alcohol and sold to adults only.This is my opinion let them out of jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And why arent the other caregiver arrested that is not cool thay have drugs to.Take one Take them all.

Mama bear watch the Dr. Oz show with Montel Williams and medical marijuana. Then judge whether or not marijuana is medical. See how many pills the people are not taking. Just because some people break the law does not mean punish the sick and disabled.

Here is the show on y-tube: part 1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xONwQBRZY-Ipart2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OG9cyVDegA&feature=relmfu part 3:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HadCBm9uxyE&feature=relmfu part 4:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDDRSYyo720&feature=relmfu part 5:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61xzA3JHNTs&feature=relmfu

The fact Is the studies done by the federal governmenthttp://iowamedicalmarijuana.org/documents/nc1contents.aspx and the United Nation http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/un-backs-drug-decriminali_n_220013.html Say marijuana should be legalized because prohibition is more harmful then decriminalization. The Regan study was disqualified on scientific grounds that they suffocated the monkeys to get brain damage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g66BYWeufFc

Education is the key not more jails and prisoners. You do have your right to your opinion but i hope this gives you something to think about. thank you

Or continue to fight the illegal drugs so we dont have addicts in our community destroying it and the children around them. Maybe Oregon will lock her up so we dont have to deal with her here.

You're talking about legalization.... you can do that until you're blue in the face, the fact of the matter is as of today marijuana as a whole is NOT legal. Medicinal use was legalized, however, time and time again "caregivers" and "patients" are abusing the system, abusing the legalization, people use bogus "health reasons" to smoke their pot and have completely forgot why MM was legalized in the first place.

I agree with Ban MM Abuse, I'm sure the 12 pounds were all "legal" and let us not forget those sticking up for the Fitzpatrick sisters, the original charges against them were not dismissed because they did not break the law, they were dismissed as the judge felt the police handled the investigation wrong. I'm sure the girls weren't doing anything wrong on these new charges either. I'm sure it was all legit just like the last go around.......

I voted for MM. I felt that it actually had some health benefits. What I voted for is NOT what Montana got. Yes, please put it back on the ballot, I need a re-vote alright!

I know prohibition is destroying lives lost. America can not keep this up with out becoming a police state. The gun running to sex scandal in South America summit. Was the sex scandal done to stop the real headlines should have read. South Americans Are being destroyed by prohibition. Or from CNN At the sixth Summit of the Americas, some Latin American leaders hope to sway -- or at least challenge -- the priorities of the hemisphere's largest power, the United States.

The leaders of some Latin American countries are expected to challenge the conventional wisdom that the way to deal with illegal drug trafficking is with firepower. Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina and others are offering serious alternatives, such as legalization.

The war on drugs is a fail. Prohibition only creates a black market, and wastes millions of dollars stolen from the American people. Consenting adults should be able to consume any substance they wish. Their body, their property.

If drugs were legalized today, chaos would not erupt. People would not just suddenly get the urge to do hard drugs. Education is the only way to prevent drug use.

I suppose the 12 pounds in Oregon was all legitimate "medical marijuana" too. Slow learners.......
