I kinda thought that because I located Mat-Su on the map.
It's a damn shame that people get involved with that stuff. I see it on "Alaska State Troopers" TV show where they are always busting someone for possession, using or making that poison. They should make grass legal and people could have some "Home Grown", but then the government wouldn't get the money from it.

if you watch alaska state troopers, youll see them refering to the most crime laden part of alaska is the mat-su valley, lots and lots of crime, because of poor education, no jobs, and lots of drugs, several bad meth areas in the valley, around meadow lakes area.

I think a ton of taxpayer's money could be saved by making weed legal and calling off this phoney War on Drugs. Billions are spent each year trying to stop the flow into the country as well as the cost of prosecution and incarceration. There would be nearly no importation if weed became legal as a home grown product for personal consumption.
I had a friend who was not a user or a dealer that went to jail for 15 years in Florida for just making an introduction. The lawyers bankrupted him and caused his business to go under and then his family lost their home.
When I was a kid weed was growing wild everywhere and farm kids were smoking it regularly. We also had the right to brew our own whiskey, up to 5 gallons per year per person in a household, but you had to get a licence and be subject to inspection. Now that is illegal too.

That pile of pig manure story has been around for years. It's called propaganda. If a person is inclined to do the hard stuff they will but it is my belief that if a mild recreational product is available, such as home grown weed the possibility of a person going to a much more expensive and addictive substance would be greatly reduced. The pols spread that manure to keep the money flowing into their favorite law enforcement projects. Drugs and addiction is not new as people have had the natural stuff for thousands of years and somehow we built a pretty good civilization with a hell of a lot less government.
There are just too many people telling us what to do, what is evil and what will kill us or give us cancer and then kill us. When you really stop and study what has been going on for the last 50 years or so you will see that goverment and politics is all about control. Study Thomas Jefferson's ideas about government and life and you will understand much better what is going on around us and to us.

actuly when you start looking at it its alot of damage. whole right side has to be repainted. it comes out to around $5,000 in damage. QT panels are the absolute worst place to get hit.
the pics dont capture the damage as well as inperson does. the door is caved in pretty bad at the bottom, running board bent, QT panel all messed up. front door is scratched, right rear wheel center cap is scratched...ect
