Pot in Funeral Home
HELENA – A 37-year-old man faces a felony drug charge after police say they found 70 marijuana plants in the attic of a Helena funeral home.

Authorities arrested Jason Blaine Thornock on Monday after serving a search warrant of the Helena Funeral Chapel. Thornock, the funeral home's director, was jailed on a charge of criminal production or manufacture of dangerous drugs. He posted $50,000 bail Tuesday afternoon.

Helena Police Chief Troy McGee said Thornock is a licensed medical marijuana user who can legally grow six plants for personal use. Authorities left six plants and a grow light in the attic and entered the remaining 64 plants into evidence.

It’s retarded how they label marijuana as a dangerous drug.  It’s less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco.  This society we live in can be rediculous.
