I spent the day out in my "hemp" fields. I was feeling inspired. And more than just a little hungry.
(For the Idaho State Police...I'm just kidding. I don't have hemp fields.)
I don't know if any of you guys heard about this... Truck driver going thru Idaho enroute to Colorado from Oregon with 7000 pounds of industrial hemp is stopped and arrested. Truck, trailer and cargo/hemp is seized. Tests confirm it's hemp. Too bad. Idaho law says hemp is same same as marijuana. Company doesn't get it back, federal judge rules. Idaho is now planning to sell the seized truck, trailer and hemp/marijuana. It's good to be king. Moral of the story: If you grow hemp in Oregon and want to ship to Colorado, take the long way around Idaho:

Gotta love how the State intends to sell the "crop" which they seized on premise of being illegal.
Really that's not a marijuana issue, that's a civil forfeiture issue. And it gets far, far worse:
orIn Detroit, Michigan, authorities raided a “Funk Night” event at the Contemporary Art Institute and seized 40 cars from the 130 attendees on the theory that the attendees were somehow responsible for the failure by organizers of the event to obtain a proper alcohol permit.
https://www.heritage.org/testimony/c...ntions-go-awryThen there is the case of 77-year-old Margaret Davis, whose Philadelphia home was targeted for forfeiture after a drug dealer—in the midst of a police chase, no less—broke into her home and attempted to hide the drugs in his possession. The dealer had been able to gain easy access because Davis, bedridden due to serious medical ailments, relied on her neighbors to provide her care. She frequently left her doors unlocked so they could come in and tend to her. Despite the fact that Davis clearly was not involved, the Philadelphia District Attorney filed a motion to seize the property.
^^ I have not had time to read all of that but I recall some of these instances from memory.
Yeah...I thought that was funny - in a really ironic sense - too.
It would be like seizing a keg from an underage drinking party and selling the beer.
I'm not really a fan of civil forfeiture. On the other hand, if I were growing hemp in Oregon I think I'd check the laws in states I needed to transit before shipping my product to Colorado because some states (like Oregon's neighbor, Idaho) still have very strict laws regarding marijuana.

Oregon was one of those states that would pull you over for having Colorado plates after amendment 64.
Now they have too much marijuana LOL, heck marijuana would pop up anywhere a seed was dropped when I grew up there.
Didn't the fed courts just rule Civil Forfeiture without probable cause is illegal?
