Noinch, Noinch, Noinch, Growin’ Weed

Guess who’s growing marijuana inside our National Parks? It’s our delightful neighbors to the South!
SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST, California — Beyond the towering trees that have stood here for thousands of years, an intense drug war is being waged.
Illegal immigrants connected to Mexico’s drug cartels are growing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of marijuana in the heart of one of America’s national treasures, authorities say. It’s a booming business that, federal officials say, feeds Mexico’s most violent drug traffickers.
“These aren’t Cheech and Chong plants,” said John Walters, director of the National Drug Control Policy. “People who farm now are not doing this for laughs, despite the fact Hollywood still thinks that. They’re doing it to make a lot of money.”
This last line if the absolute kicker. Get your duct tape . . .

Well, here’s an idea, Mr. Boudreaux: START GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT OUR BORDER ISSUE AND MAYBE THIS NONSENSE WILL STOP!

Well if the Feds know the Mexicans are growing marijuana inside the park why the hell don’t they destroy the crop!!! Duh !!
That is just so “in your face,” too. Infuriating.
Paul – I think a nice bulldozer would do the trick.
RT – But we don’t need a border fence . . .
Not immigration, but in other drug news –
*Ecstasy helps us … say cops*
Land mines and Snipers are cheap and also a very good deterrent.
Teqjack – And it makes the criminals all “lovey-dovey.”
Admiral – I like the land mine idea. Good show!
And…..
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA. Then the cartels will have nothing to be angry about except that their jobs are GONE.
