Somewhere, Tommy Chong is crying

[Batman]

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.

As for the pot, they're planning to burn it all and salt the earth.

Police officers, along with crews from the city's forestry and streets and sanitation departments, spent all of Wednesday cutting down the plants, which will be burned. A weed-killing chemical will also be placed on the field to ensure marijuana doesn't grow again, Roti said.

Naturally, the "leagalize pot" crowd is up in arms. Also, head shops across Chicagoland will fly their black light posters at half staff for the rest of the week.

Dude, it was weed, not meth.

Some of the **** 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?

I wish society had the same zeal to combat more important ills.

Holy hotbox, Batman.

Hey, YankeeFan, mind if I crash at your place? All I need is a couch and whatever the yuppie foodie organic farm-raised version of Bugles is.

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.

That was Timmy Chong. Get your facts straight.

No, it was Timmy Chang.

My favourite sj game is guess-who-posted-it. On my phone, the screen shows the post but has the poster off the screen to the left.

I had Mark pegged for the Timmy Chang correction.

Man, those are some big joints. And the judges will say that's okay, because they roll big joints too!

Grown outdoors? In Chicago? Let's just say I doubt Ben and Chon were the least bit concerned about competition from Southside Green.
