So what? on a long enough time-line... nothing survives. It is only human nostalgia that makes this important. What is the difference between that tree and a younger tree? Maybe that tree occupied the space that a dozen more productive trees could survive in. That is what nature does. If it was destroyed by a bolt of lightning would a hippie cries still be heard? Matter is neither created nor destroyed, the first rule of physics.
That tree was going to die or fall down eventually but meth runs out pretty much the same day.
I can't believe the shit I have read about this woman and what she did. Here is my compassionate sentence- 3 yrs drug rehab (no you can not lv when you dont like it anymore), Chances say she may have children. Five years and if, Grandma wont take those kids and raise them right- foster homes, hatered, temperments from home to home. You all should be ashamed of yourselfs- no better yet- go fuck yourselfs with that tree. LIKE NONE OF YOU DID STUPID SHIT IN YOUR LIVES. Then and when she gets out of prison- she will be more hateful and commit more crimes. Thats not the right thing.for punishment. Ohh- and fuck prohabition too. Time for our ass wipes running our nation to wake up and run our country properly! Obam bam- your a tool- you as with the last 5 Presidents have fucked us and made far to many promises you could not uphold. Go fuck yourself too!
Dumb A$$....that is all......put her away....obviuosly she does not care about herself....why the hell would she give a sh!t about something precious and historic ....unbeleivable.....26yrs old....grow up!!!! actually took pictures and bragged about this??!!? what is wrong with you????????!!
I say just give her enough meth to kill herself! I do not see why anyone does not see this as a potential solution for meth heads!
Straights hate on stoners; stoners hate on tweakers. Now that I've got my dose of moral superiority, I can continue with my day.
True but straights hating stoners comes from 70 years of lies shoved down their throats. Every lie from racial fear to sudden addiction for all these years takes a toll on the thinking of normal sheeple. We've only had a few decades of meth and the harms are obvious not to mention they're considered drug users... like cannabis patients or just plain potheads.
Brainwashing is a terrible thing. And a brain is a terrible thing to waste. Prohibition is a waste of brains. Or should that be Prohibition is a waste of terrible brains?
You do know that meth is available by prescription as Desoxyn, don't you? And that use of Desoxyn under medical supervision doesn't tend to produce the same problems (such as dental issues) that street meth does.
Poverty, depression, and prohibition make up our "meth problem." You'd think medical-marijuana-minded folks would consider the possibility of self-medication and have a heart. Or maybe not.
I didn't know that. Who made their shit first? The street dealers or the Big pharma's? In plain English--Who copied Who?
I think she needs help for her addiction not prison. Hey it was an old useless tree, it was lucky to have survived as long as it had without getting properly wood-chipped.
I don't have to admit nothing. Only that your a piece of shit. Go hack your wares from a storefront brick and mortar operation.
thats like accidentally dropping a cigerette on the ground by her infant child an was wacked out an went outside to get a rock an shit goes down. stupid fuckin cunt
If this doesn't wake up the world to the dangers of meth and the total failure of the so called war on drugs. Legalize pot 40 yrs ago, and meth would never have arisen in the culture as it has. I pity mankind if this insanity continues. If the broken brained person wanted to smoke poison , and had a 'safe' place to fry her brains instead of inside of a sacred tree, life would have be better for all. She would either die or get treatment. Not destroy the community with her ignorance and lack of respect for herself and others. HEMP4VICTORY!-VICTORY4HEMP!
Exactly. The prohibition of Marijuana has led to the creation of some seriously fucked up shit on the streets and in legal headshops/stores since 1971. All of these new synthetic substitutes. Not to mention energy drinks etc...
Freakin methheads.....reminds me of me sister.....lost her kids.... her teeth...her youth... shes 40 and looks 60.
Sad thing is.... methheads have to hit bottom and wantg to quit before you can try to help them.....but then they always go back to the meth....Its their GOD...sad ass shit
they hit rock bottom an keep doing. i grew up in the meth capital of the country at one time. there better off with adderral, rittalin, etc. like our CHILDREN RECIEVE FROM THE DOCTORS. fuck the gov't :((((
If you live in Connecticut and want to end marijuana prohibition in our state, please take a minute to visit www.ctprimaryproject.com.
Please pass this on to anyone you know in Connecticut!
I have deep respect for living things. Not so much for meth heads. If you're a stoner and you condone this, maybe you need to sit down and have a talk with mother earth, preferably with some herb and a spiritual guide.
I have a deep respect for trees and living things, also. This tree only qualified for one of those categories.
You can't fix stupid,,,punishing stupidity with imprisonment is not the answer,,community service planting trees perhaps would suffice.
I don't condone burning down trees, but 5 years in prison strikes me as extremely disproportionate. How exactly are her actions worse than those of a lumberjack clearcutting forests to make a living?
It's a lumberJacks job to take down specific trees, she is just a dumb meth head tweaker starting a fire because "it was dark" and then not being able to put it out. It's this kind of senseless behavior that is destroying our society and our natural resources. In my 'humbley pist off' posistion I feel five years is a light sentance for such a ignorant crime.
Look at that picture, she looks like a ghoul. Five years would be good, at least she won't be doing meth an killing herself. Let her dry out.
Prison is too harsh, I admit. At the very least a mandatory addict rehabilitation center would do her good, a minimum of a year. We are not talking about marijuana here. Meth addicts are out of control and self destructive. They cannot quite without help. Their bodies deteriorate quickly, their thinking becomes insane. I have seen this in my extended family after the addict hung himself, before he ruined his families lives. Find some before and after pictures of meth addicts!! Be prepared for a shock.
Right, it's done out of love. Spending five years of her life behind bars will be a great thing for this woman. You've convinced me.
Dont you have to look at tree rings to know the exact age of a tree? 5th oldest tree in the world? Really? OK. I hate meth heads, but it sounds like she did a service to the community actually, I mean "what about the children?" who could have been playing inside this dried up, old, dead, decaying piece of shit fire hazard and danger to "overall" general public safety, that they call a "tree" and decided to take a cig break and "God Almighty it could have been a real disaster, not to mention the children."
She needs the help of "the Precious". It's the only thing gonna save that child. Sounds like the tree was a fire hazard in the first place as it turns out. William Randolph Hearst didn't do meth, but he ended the life of "many things", trees being just one of those "things". Get off the meth and on the non gateway drug.
For our viewers who aren't stoned or on their meds, I'm talking about the picture of the chick being put in the back of the cop car. Is that or isn't that Darth Maul? I thought he got killed by Obi Wan?LOL!!! wtf!
