 * The lighting is too harsh. A light tent or white cardboard reflector on the right side would have improved the image quality considerably. I gonna go out on a limb here and assert that this shot is easily reproducible. I could go on about this nomination, but I'd be wikislapped with AGF wanyways... ;-) --Dschwen 08:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. JPEF artefacts in low-res versions and high-res version isn't fully in focus. - Mgm|(talk) 10:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Harsh, dude, and easy to reproduce. Plus poor focus at full res.  --TotoBaggins 11:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Thanks for the nom, but the image has many technical faults. It suffers from motion blur in several of the original images, and I did not take enough slices to do proper focus stacking. I intend to do this in the future when I have a proper macro sled, and of course better lighting. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 13:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose Not very sharp. Encyclopedic, but a better one can easily be taken. Question: Isn't it illegal to be in possession of cannabis?!?  Jumping cheese   Cont @ct 20:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Depends on things. See legal issues of cannabis. --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. It's still illegal in Canada, unless HighINBC is using it for medical reasons. Isn't the pic then proving illegal possession of cannabis?  Jumping cheese   Cont @ct 20:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If I am breaking the law I assure you I am not doing it on Wikipedia, so it is not really a Wikipedia issue. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 21:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * However, suggesting I take another one may be a violation of some sort of Wikipedia policy(kidding). HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 21:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Besides, we don't even know it's his. He could be photographing it at the local sheriff's evidence room. Taking a picture of someone speeding doesn't mean you should get a ticket yourself. Debivort 00:51, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a rather incriminating pic. I'm not suggesting that the police is gonna bust down your door because of it, but it's still not a good idea. But as HighInBC said, whether or not it is illegal doesn't really matter in Wikipedia. I'm sorry I brought it up in the first place.  Jumping cheese   Cont @ct 05:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose per above, slightly out of focus when expanded. -- Phoenix  21:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Doesn't stand up to the near-fetishistic marijuana macros featured in High Times and the like. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 15:52, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
