Highway pit stop nets Hashish

By Rob Young/Appeal-Democrat

A Sebastopol man had nine pounds of hashish in his trunk when he was arrested on Highway 20 in Sutter County, a drug enforcement official said today.

The hashish, or concentrated marijuana, that 32-year-old John Caleb Marks had apparently was produced by rubbing about 900 pounds of marijuana buds between the hands and scraping off the accumulated resin, said Mike Hudson, commander of the Yuba-Sutter Narcotic Enforcement Team.

Marks stopped to urinate along eastbound Highway 20 at the Wadsworth Canal about 5 p.m. Wednesday and had the trunk of his car open. A Sutter County Sheriff's Department deputy stopped and noticed a strong smell of marijuana, said Hudson.

"Hashish producers often compare the production of hashish to gold mining in that it takes removing tons of earth to find a small amount of gold. It takes truckloads of marijuana to produce a small amount of hashish," said Hudson.

"I can't remember a time when we seized this much," he said.

Now, can anyone in the class tell me why this person was apprehended? Look closely, it wasn't the hash.

I mean seriously, you're trucking a trunk full of hash and you decide, on the freeway no less, to stop and take a piss? I guess you had it coming, really. Sad that anyone gets busted at all, but this guy was almost asking for it.

hey randude, even if the cop didn't "smell" the weed, the guy was going to be arrested any way for lewd conduct in public(where I live, you get put on the sexual offenders list if caught peeing outside), so his car would have been searched and impounded anyway. On top of that, his trunk was already open, so everything was in "plain" sight.
I guess the moral of the story is if you have anything you don't want the coops to find out about, don't go waving your dick around along side a highway, they will bust your ass.

What a fucking tard! First priority should have ben to wrap it well. What really aggravates me is the way Law Enforcement gloats over a bust like this.

He might want to rethink that 900 pound figure....

 

[snowman06]

yeah last time i checked it didnt take 10pounds of bud to make 1 pound of hash

 

[OrganicManic]

100 lbs, your math is off. no offense

yeah last time i checked it didnt take 10pounds of bud to make 1 pound of hash

 

[Molson]

What do we learn from this?

Use a pee bottle.

You think smell would have been a priority? lol. Just another example of carelessness...

organicmani ooopss been staring at this computer screen to long not to mention to much smoke in my eyes lol I jus noticed that.

 

[RockyMountainHi]

Every cop says they smell weed for an excuse to violate your 4th ammendment.

And every judge and DA lets them.

It's a conspriacy.

What a fool

Crazy dumb..

I've traveled that Highway many times and it makes me nervous every trip no matter if I'm doing something or not. It's not a FREEWAY but a narrow 2 laner' 'out in nowhere' road that goes from 101 near the coast to Nevada City at the base of the Sierras'. Most of it is deserted except for the occasional crummy farming towns full of illegal alien farm workers

....however the cops love to roam it 'cause it's 55 all the way across the valley when you could easily do 80+. Speed ticket hell. I'ts a real long trip at 55 across the hot valley...I can't use one but some guys use pee bottles haha on these kind of trips

What, no bubble bags?

900 lbs * $2500 = $2,250,000

$2,250,000/9 = $250,000

$250,000/28 = $8928.57/gram

Man, hash prices have really skyrocketed! And I'm not even adding in a premium for all the work of rubbing all that product between your hands and collecting the end result! Hmm, maybe these dispensaries are out of control after all. No way I'm paying almost $9000 for a gram of hash.

Gypsy has a video here somewhere of how hash is made. They beat the buds with a stick over top of a huge bowl with a screen over it..... They then press it with an old press....Really quite impressive.....

 

[filo6942]

what kind of car handles 900lb in the trunk without sagging like a mofo? guy had his trunk open, pissing on the side of the road illegally. he was asking for it guys, this isnt smart.

 

[Pythagllio]

It was 9 lbs of hash in the trunk, supposedly made from 900 lbs of bud.

HAHA what a funny story. What possible reason would make this guy open his trunk full of hash and take a piss on the road. I just can't think of any possible scenario that would justify that.... O, unless he had a flat fixed it put everything back decided to leave the trunk open while pissing and then got caught hahah. Thats funny.. Police always inflate the news..
