Urban farming is usually thought of as a niche business for high-end food produce. In Chicago, it has taken on a new meaning.
Police in a helicopter stumbled upon what may be the largest outdoor pot farm in the city’s history. Planted in rows and spread over an area the size of two football fields, as many as 1,500 plants averaging 6 feet tall were growing amidst heavy brush in an industrial area on the city’s South Side.
“This would not be visible from the street,” said Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy at a press conference today. “It’s surrounded by a huge field that you wouldn’t see anywhere (but) from the air.” He estimated the hidden pot to be worth $7 million to $10 million. …

Obama’s other “stash”?
Instead of Destroying it sell bags and open hot dog stands all around it....use the money for the city instead of hiking tax rates?? LOL
If you’ve ever seen pictures of a outdoor pot growing operation, Christmas tree size plants are pretty much the norm. And there are pot farms in the Danial Boone National Forrest in Ky that make this look like a backyard flower bed.
Sell tickets to the burning and make a fortune selling Doritos and hot dogs! Down wind of course!
Redweeds?
Wow man, dig the fall colors...
Convert it into “medical marijuana”. Just double the street price with no real strings attached, unless somebody does a DUI sort of thing. Get revenue without hounding honest taxpayers.
Selling someone something they want to buy is worse than murder.
There were cautions in Oregon not to go off the trails in national parks because the pot growers would shoot you.
That’s why I don’t hike the Daniel Boone anymore.
But not because moonshiners would shoot you? I wonder why that is ...
There are probably 800 hundred million pot plants in the U.S.
Why is this even news?

Speaking of “the Kenyan Must Go!” I remember that song that would be the theme song for the Kenyan’s Choom Gang:
I smoke two joints in the morning,
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon,
It makes me feel all right.
I smoke two joints in time of peace,
And two in time of war.
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more.
My Daddy he once told me
Son you be hard working man.
Momma she once told me Son
you do the best you can.
And then one day I met a man
Who came to me and said,
“Hard work good, and hard work fine
but first take care of Head.”
Obambi gets up at 9 or 10am each day, no doubt after an evening of “taking care.”
800 million too!
lol...
Outside and that large you’re just asking for trouble,,, from what I read on the internets...
Maybe some homies from Oakland can show them how to do it for reals.
more “Chicago values”
