Congressman Barney Frank's Boyfriend Busted Growing Pot

You wonder why the US has a financial crisis? Start with Barney Frank the chairman of the House Banking Committee.

Congressman Barney Frank's boyfriend was busted for growing pot in their apartment. He was present at the time and now claims that he doesn't even what pot looks like. He pushing a bill to legalizing medical marijuana and doesn't know what pot looks like.

You really need to question what Barney Frank is about.

One of his boyfriend's was running a male prostitute ring from thier apartment and Barney Frank claimed he didn't know anything about it.

Barney Frank was also writing legislation concerning Fannie Mae while at the same time his husband was an executive there.

 

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt he didn't know what was going on. You would have to start asking questions if someone is being all secretive about growing "plants" in the house. Gimme a break...

I think he's also getting a break in the media again too. I heard the story on CNN last night ONCE, and that's the last I've heard of it. Now all I keep hearing about is how he wants to limit the powers of the Fed...

Fishy, fishy. My grandmother would know something was up if I grew pot in the house, and she's probably never ever seen pot in person.

 

I doubt he knew it was growing there. He's surely smart enough to not be knowingly staying @ at home that has marijuana plants growing in the yard easily in view. I guess there's always the chance he fully knew and felt he was above the law. Either way he's an idiot IMO.

 

This is from 2007

 

Fully aware that the bust was in 2007, but it just seems fishy that Frank was there and played all innocent like he had never been back there to see the plants. And then he says if he was back there, he wouldn't even know what they were. Ummmm, yea sure....

 

The problem with America is that ANYONE is busted for growing pot. There's nothing wrong with growing or smoking marijuana, it should be completely legal.

 

I agree, if alcohol and tobacco are legal, then so should pot IMO. Either all or none is how I see it... and I prefer all vs. none because none means less freedom.

HOWEVER, it IS illegal and when a US Representative is staying in a house where it's being intentionally grown in the yard it becomes a big deal to some (and funny to others). Either he was part of or knew of the law breaking, or he's extremely oblivious because the guy didn't seem to be trying to go out of his way to HIDE it. You can bet if the guy was growing it, he was deeply involved in smoking it as well

I believe him that he didn't know and he's just flat out clueless like most of our government officials making our laws and spending our money.

 

Obama may need to legalize it to keep his base in line. You figure that it's a multi-billion dollar industy that isn't being taxed.

It will only be legalized when most other economic alternatives have been exhausted and they are desperate for revenue.

Big tobacco might take it over, and ruin the product by adding addictive chemicals, to which I'd say keeping it illegal would have been better.

No law changes if people aren't willing to break it outlandishly in mass first.

It is civil rights for the affluent white youth, welcome to the fight.

Lately no one's been able to hide their bullshit anymore, it kind of makes you wonder how any status quo is going to stand much longer at this rate. Makes me happy in my pants to see a big push for the correction of bullshit we've dealt for decades.

 

Legalize it all. Really. Tax it, legalize it, and then eliminate the income tax. Mary Jane will more than double the revenue intake in this country - and letting people keep their income means they will buy more of it.
