SAN ANTONIO -- A man was arrested after narcotics officers discovered what they are calling a sophisticated marijuana growing operation inside a Northwest Side home.

Officers executed a search warrant at a house located off Dancing Brook, near Braun Road and Loop 1604, Thursday night. During their search, they found marijuana packaged for sale, plants in every room, and a very sophisticated lighting system in the home. A spokesperson for the San Antonio Police Department called the lighting setup used in the operation is considered a fire hazard.

Several thousand dollars in cash were also found inside the home.

Police say the man arrested may also face federal drug charges.

Declaration of Rights of Cannabis Users Mission Statement: To bring an end to cannabis prohibition in 2013 by gathering signatory members through promotion and declaring our rights through the document, "Declaration of Rights of Cannabis Users". Giving prohibitionists reasonable opportunity to affect appropriate, timely and agreed upon change and, if necessary enforcing our rights in a peaceful way. After April 20 2013 adopting a zero tolerance for acts of brutality and injustice by prohibitionists. The laws regarding cannabis were born on the wings of lies and pampered by propaganda such that now the tightly held belief systems are going to have to reckon with the desire of all humanity to live with dignity, free from the oppressive tyranny that ignorance and bigotry have spawned. http://www.change.org/petitions/all-elected-represenitives-and-the-united-nations-recognize-the-rights-of-cannabis-users

Just for all you out there that think what this man did was okay. He was renting the home and just destroyed a family's home and their life. How do you think they are feeling right now? Finding out that someone lied to them to destroy their home like this. You all need to reevaluate your ideas.

That man had enough marijuana on hand to poison most of the youth in this county, rendering them unfit for further participation in society and bound for Hell. That is an abomination. He may well be in league with Mexican drug cartels and possibly even middle eastern terrorists. Now that he is caught, perhaps peace will return to the streets of this city and life can go on as normal again.

He may face federal drug charges because the Assistant U.S. Attorney has to accept the case first as opposed to the Bexar County District Attorney who handles felonies.

It's time to legalize and regulate marijuana just as we do alcohol. We would save Billions, Make more billions and stop the senslessness called Marijuana Prohibition, After all 50% of Americans favor legalization. Why are we clinging to laws conceived, born and nurtured from lies, greed and Racism. Marijuana compared to other substances, legal and illegal. Look at the source, please. http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/c23.0.403.403/p403x403/602967_145483832253748_773640006_n.jpg
