Patiently waiting 🙏 😊
I used to date Ricks sister Ashley. 20 years ago Bell City KY. Last I heard she had a wreck and was in a wheel chair? She told me about her dad in prison in Florida. What a life! God bless you Ashley and Delesi family✌️
Makes me sick to think you can put into jail for growing a plant
Legalize it decriminalize it 🪴
illegal for the individual but legal for the government! The very definition of hypocrisy and insanity.
pot could never do the amount of harm that governments do, through their self appointed folly that they have some made up right to tell people, what they can and cant do. pure madness.
Anyone notice that so many guys are crying now about it getting legalized, it hits me hard inside my body when I see these big men start to cry about it all…nice. we women like that guys…
you can spend 1yr being a pedo and molesting kids but you can spend 32years in jail for growing and smokeing a plant
sadly our youth seems not to care about the OG's that paved the way for them to smoke legal…shameful, Glad ur out unkle rick cheerz from ny
im all for weed but you didnt go to jail for 98 years for smoking weed or even growing weed, you were selling it and you knew the consequences dumb as they may be. stop trying to get people to empathize with someone who broke the law for lots of money. you do the crime, you do the time. stupid if you ask me
I spent 3 years over selling a ci 2 quarter ounces..2 counts of trafficking Marijuana
If he is gay or black he would win a MN license. Nope, sorry.
i love the show but common you break the law you go to jail he was not caught with an OZ was he hundreds and hundreds of pounds and not just marijuana why not show the thousands of bootlegger's also sentenced to prison and oh ya dont forget death ffs people you break the laws you go to prison
All I wanna know is, was it against the law when it happened?
Pure madness 😠 free the herbs🌿
I’ve seen Uncle Rick in many podcasts and he is a 💯 OG God Bless you Sir 🌱🙏🏼😎💨
Crazy I lost my life over selling weed and now it’s legal and I sell in same state legally.
LFG good episode hopefully
