Whoa, that’s a lot of pot.

Still, we feel for Brandon James Manger, 23, who was caught with it all in his SUV last night just north of Klamath Falls by Oregon State Police. Manger is from the Bend area, according to OSP.

I mean, maybe he gets really bad headaches and that’s his medicine. Definitely looks like he might have a headache.

Expensive medicine, though. Troopers estimate the herb’s value at $250,000 minimum.ย

  1. So for each “load” like this that is captured how many get through? just legalize the product, tax it when marketed, leave it alone when grown at home and spend more time on catching drunk drivers and meth suppliers who actually hurt other people.

  2. He doesn’t have headaches. He just wants to help the thousands that do but are too scared to drive anywhere to get a medicine they approve of.
