    He also tells us that he wouldn't recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, "not a great outdoorsman," and ,"wouldn't recognize most plants."

    Barney, Barney, Barney...

    I know 8 year olds who would recognize weed if they saw it.

    If only trained professional cops could tell the difference between marijuana and Japanese Maple...A cop would still be alive and a citizen would not be in prison for defending his home from unannounced intruders with a legally owned handgun.And the taxpayers would not be paying $45,000 a year to keep him there.

          Boy, you all are really trolling to find any sort of "dirt" on anyone you hate, aren't you!

          A 2-year-old story suddenly becomes news to you?

          And was Barney Frank charged with ANYTHING? No.

          But ya gotta love your quick judgment of "guilty by association".

          Whatever .....

          O my goonies! Thanks for this story submission, gbu. I totally relate to this incident and I know the disappointment, shame, horror, disenchantment and just not very positive feelings Barney Frank must have experienced when this happened to his friend way back in the summer of 2007. A few weeks ago, I mesodude, was "present" when a cop arrested a neighbor of mine for DUI. I was sitting on my front steps, enjoying a cool fall evening with my laptop and sipping a 100% non-alcoholic tall piping hot Starbucks© Cafe Mocha (with skim milk--please, I'm watching my figure). I remember it well...The mocha was super hot but not hot enough to burn my tongue or the roof of my mouth and leave me with that disturbing 'OMG, skin is peeling off from the roof of my mouth' sensation. It was the perfect hot temperature... just hot enough for me to taste the bold notes of the espresso beans mingling with the buttery rich and creamy mellowness of the chocolate. I couldn't really taste the milk all that much but skim milk is like that sometimes--just kinda subtly hanging out in the background. You know it's in there but it's not in-your-face creamy like whole milk is so you forget. Anyway, I will definitely go back to that Starbucks© for my next mocha because it is *really* hard to find someone who knows how to make a good mocha consistently. ;-x

          And? Frank is responsible for what's in his friends home? Pot? OMG....marijuana!!!! The drug that doesn't kill people. The drug that doesn't turn people into maniacs like booze does. Can't have that around. Who gives a sh*t about this? Oh yeah, CONS. Punky little cons.

            Is it Fair to Say, barney frank is a Major Disgrace to all HoMosexuals?

            Is he still bothering young male Pages in Washington?

            Isn't it about time to legalize marijuana rather than waste our tax dollars trying to prosecute people who have it? In a land where tobacco is legal, there is no rational argument to keep marijuana illegal. Of the two, tobacco is FAR more nefarious. Between being far more addictive, it's lethal and also a "gateway drug" like marijuana is often labeled. It's just the FIRST in the series. The only reason it's legal and marijuana isn't is because tobacco has a lobby and marijuana doesn't.

            But seriously...it's time to legalize it and quit wasting our resources on this sort of nonsense.

            As for Barney Frank being in a home where it was found...who cares. Especially when others are caught with illegal oxycontin prescriptions in other people's names, etc, and no one seems to have a problem with that.

            Guess what, I inhaled. The stupid laws criminalizing Marijuana and Hemp should be overturned.

            Pot laws are barbaric and unneeded. I don't care if Barney Frank, or anybody else, grows it, smokes it, sells it, or distills it and injects it in his arm. (If that's even possible)
