When packing a bowl, it’s generally considered a good idea to start with a small amount, maybe a few grams, rather than lighting up 134,000 tons all at once.

We hates us some dried plants! Too bad it’s not the dried plants that the World health Organization says will kill a billion people this century.
Are our tax dollars being wasted protecting us from the wrong dried plants???
Pete, sorry we don’t even light up a gram.
Waste not, want not.
No true Americans are buying imports anymore.
Well, looks like we don’t have to worry all those Mexican drug cartels making all their money off marijuana, looks like there’s none left….. right?
I hope on day all cannabis has the ‘made in USA’ lable.
Well, it was just brick weed, but you probably could’ve made some decent hash with it… still seems a waste.
To be honest my favorite of those photos has to be either the one with the pot fully engulfed in flames or the one right after that with the nameless soldier and the wall of flames behind him.
I would of smoked it. The brick around now is a bit better than it used to be and it has been over a year since I saw a fully seeded bud. Some of it has as few as 8 to 12 seeds
in an oz. I believe the farmers in Mexico are trying to keep up with the customers demands and are producing some pretty good buds.
can’t they make houses and cars and fuel out of that?
I was in Mexico twice this year, around Guadalajara, and the pot was very good, seeded but cheap
Wha? *blinks* Drug war’s finished? They got it all then? And a celebratory bonfire to boot? Sheesh, take a week off from the internet and come back to news like that.
Clay–You’re right. Strains are showing up down here more and more often.
Primus–You were in my town, bud. The farmers are still working on the “no males” concept. They’re getting better at it but it’s still there. Notice the ’60s pricing? LOL
This does not make a pimple on a fleas ass. Big show.
Heard in two-thousand-and-shomething: “Grandad … LOL, ROFLMAO … I’m just reading this stupid book on history and it makes NO sense … is it really true that they used to burn hundreds and thousands of tons of simple plant material and that they even used the military and police to put people in jail for it?”
Starting the clock on the next “‘Biggest Marijuana Bust ever! 200 tons captured an’ burnt up! The childrins is sayeh-ved! Les’ go have a beer!”
Over a hundred tons. Do I have to scream the word, it’s become so common now nobody thinks of the import of it? Have we all gotten so used to the sheer improbability of this daily insanity that the meaning of this has been lost? A HUNDRED TONS of illegal drugs burned like so much toilet paper and it hasn’t made a single dent in the flow!!!!!
I mean, really, don’t they have the slightest sense of embarrassment? The numbers of interdicted stuff goes up to ridiculously huge levels, tens and scores of tens of tons and tons, the price remains the same, and there’s more in the pipeline…and in a month or two they make the same statement and have the same photo-op. Aren’t they the least bit self-conscious?
Eff that Schwag! That’s prolly the best thing you can do with some brick like that.
