Somewhere, Tommy Chong is crying

A police helicopter in Chicago, while out on a routine patrol, noticed something odd on the ground below. Turns out it was a marijuana farm, with 1,500 plants -- some as tall as 6 feet. Cops are calling it one of the largest farms ever seen in Chicago, whose climate isn't very hospitable to open-air marijuana farming.

Some of the shit done to eradicate pot is so over the top. Why don't they drop a nuclear bomb and some nerve gas too while they're at it?

A couple of days ago we covered a car wreck. 5 cops had minor injuries after crashing into each other. They were all returning from the smelter where they were burning bales of marijuana.

I bet there's a hell of a story those guys will be telling in private for years.

 

that's like a minimum of 4,500 pounds if it was grown right ... or so my friends in high school told me.

Dozens of Frito-Lay trucks were seen driving to the field.

 

Were they downwind?
