    A friend of mine drove by them while they were clearing the plants.

    Those growers sure got greedy. 100,000 plants, MY GOODNESS!

    "I was amazed," said Lauretta Patterson. "I couldn't believe here in Goodrich that something like that would happen."

    Exactly. If you go that big, you are begging state and federal agencies to come after you.

    Dear God... The gov't should have just taken the fields by force and keep it... for experimental purposes... or think of something. Just don't destroy it, such a waste.

    $175 million to grow some plants? That seems too easy.

    How do I link a location in the woods on Google Maps. Will it give me long/lat coordinates?

    Law enforcement is notorious for grossly exxagerating the value of illegal drugs. I've seen them go 10 or even 100 times the real value.

    You do know there are great strains that can be grown in the wild right? With the right care you can grown better stuff that hydroponic.

    Ever had kush?

    I really wish they would legalize it, put a nice tax on it, and just give that money to the struggling schools we have around Texas

    No idea, but just find it on Google Maps and link it.
