Fort Myers is slacking. Why should they smoke all of ours? Our Cubans work hard only to have it end up there? I don't think so!

There you have it! Its true they really do do the jobs we dont want and wont do!! Its hard work and very stressful, having to keep an eye out and work around the clock to harvest it before you get caught.

While other big states find ways to reduce prison population and crime at the same time,
Florida continues to stuff its prisons, DESTROY people's lives, and WASTE taxes
for non-violent victim-less crimes caused by legislators, state attorneys, police, and sheriff. .

Charlie Green, Lee County Clerk of Court, recognizes the huge cost to taxpayers and loss of personal liberties from unintended consequences of non-violent victim-less crimes including the drug war.

Some people do not want to raise their children next to these drug houses run by criminals, some with violent criminal records. In case you have been living under a rock these grow houses have been a target for robbery and even homicide. I suppose you think meth labs should be legal too. Or maybe you are just mad because the sheriff, police, legislators, and state attorneys are making it harder for you to buy your drugs!

Well put redgold, police should check out Jacktanners's house. Instead of living under a rock, maybe he should be doing the jail house rock.

No matter what, drugs are illegal and until laws are changed, I am all for rigid enforcment!

Hey arent these folks the salt of the earth! What great citizens & entreprenuers. Ill bet some of them might even have a drivers license. Perhaps Jimmy Carter along with Ted Kennedy who turned America into a banana republic would welcome them into their home towns.

They are capitalists. The law of supply and demand is a law, not a democrat invention.

Dear Naples Daily News: Exactly when do you anticipate removing the Growhouse Map link from your website? It is delusional to believe it serves as a deterrent. It shows zero concern or respect for our Naples community, and, in all honesty, its sole purpose is to assure your website takes on more hits. Would you sincerely choose to relocate your family to Naples with propaganda such as this? You're giving us a bad name. Please remove it.

damn.. no more smoke!

Neopolitana, why do you want to cover everything up and lie? Take your blindfold off and open your eyes. Naples is overpopulated!! We are destroying precious land to accommodate yours and others selfish wants. What, so you can say "I live in Naples"? Big deal, so what. The traffic is bad, Housing prices are outrageous, wages are ridiculously low. Do you know how many gang members live in Naples? A whole heck of a lot! Take off the blindfold and do something constructive and good for society for once in your god-forsaken, selfish life.

3i3am3: I assume you’re the command officer of this thread, correct? You are unable to allow Neopolitana to speak his mind without the chance that you might intervene? Do you see why people choose to smoke up? Get a life, please. And while you’re at it, I think both need to grow up. I am laughing almost uncontrollably. This is not second grade.

BTW: the thread topic involves the discussion -and the discussion ONLY- of the greenhouse map. Unless your comment is directly related to the subject at hand, all you’re doing is wasting precious bandwidth and causing this site to run slower. That's selfish.

BACK TO THE TOPIC.
It’s nice to where the busts are occurring, although I am completely against the criminalization of marijuana related crimes, it’s always nice to be able to use such tools to find cultural, and social trends. Where people grow may indicate where policing should increase, and in that same token, its great to see where drug busts are NOT occurring. Just about everything is occurring east of 41. My theory is that crowded cities are actually deterrents for growing. Bigger cities may be safer in that case. Of course then you have to worry about those crazy gang members!

In 22 years of my living in Naples (the 34102) I have never had to deal with any gang activity. Thanks NPD!

Isn't it sad that THIS is what our tax money is going toward. I guess the police have nothing better to do than arrest harmless people growing plants that don't harm anyone at all.

man i need to go smoke a bowl

Lol soundgarden...

i too support the legalization of Marijuana, but these grow houses are run by a criminal element that the average toker isnt aware of. As such, even tho it makes it harder to find a lil 'ganja' every now and then, these grow houses need to go.

FTL. Making marijuana illegal is what causes so much crime and poverty in our NATION. Stop overpopulating our jails and prisons, stop ruining lives of INNOCENT (by my standards) children and adults in our community!! This is outrageous! STOP making it ILLEGAL and the REAL crime will stop! These people work harder than you do on your 9-5 desk job and risk their lives so others will have precious MJ to sit at home and enjoy themselves with! Come on, people!!

NaplesLocale your an id*ot. Our jails are overpoulated with drug addicts that started thier criminal careers with the gateways drug called marijuana.Drugs are a plague, some prescription as well.If you like to smoke pot in the privacy of your home and without exposing children thats one thing but turning a home into a criminal enterprise is another. Frankly, I am happy to see all of the arrests and I am relieved to see law enforcement working so hard to erradicate them. I am so tired of the thug life, my stepkids are both 19 and 20 year old potheads, thier uncle is a crack head. One drug addict effects the lived of 27 other family members,friends and society in general for the worse. Our homes are robbed, cars stolen, credit cards jacked and we fll victim every second to a drug addict. Pot is illegal and growning it is worse by 7 factorial. If you could put a number on the distinct permutations on the harmful effect of drugs like Marijuana it would be a number to large to fathom. I am sick of it and it needs to go back to the east coast. Born and raised in Miami I moved here with my family to get away from it. I lived in the bird road area in the 1980 and 1990 and saw this plague first hand. Pot smokers graduate in many cases to crack heads and at that point it the revolving door of jail and the familys always suffer with them.We should build an island in International waters and send all of the drug users there, a penal colony of sorts. I would defnately drug test for drivers licenses,social benefits like food stamps, etc. if you use drugs you dont drive a car or eat at the taxpayers expense.Its that simple.

Please Continue to put everbody that has been arrested for growing pot on the page, thay have earned it!TO THE PERSON that suggested it be removed from the site I disagree. I want to know who I am living around and possibly doing business with and The truth shall set us free! I am willing to lose a little in property values on my home to let the light shine in this County, at this point I am down hundreds of thousands so who cares.. The closet needs to be cleaned out and put in order. Then maybe we can work on other issues like our schools an our communities.Then we can rebuild this County back to its glory days. Our kids deserve a chance and a safe place to grow up and they shouldnt be exposed to this scourge.Bottom line is it is time to take out the trash.
Good decisions cant be made under the influence of drugs like pot and bad decisions have a domino effect once they begin.

we have put up with a person selling drugs from his storage unit for a year , we informed the manager. yet they have done noting to stop it . people are in and out all day.it starts mid day to nite.he does not work , yet makes a living from this

This is big business, like beer selling in ""dry" counties in the South a few decades ago. When payoffs are more profitable to law enforcement than busts, the perps stay in business. That's how it was when I lived in Mississippi in the mid-50s. Payoffs are better for the taxpayer than busts, but best of all would be to put pot on the same legal plane as beer, so it could be taxed and regulated.

Mississippi you took the words right out of my mouth.

I sure do not want criminals and grow houses near my family!
