Thousands of marijuana plants were removed in southwest Dallas. (MyFoxDFW)
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas -- Federal drug agents and local authorities cleared a massive marijuana field in North Texas on Saturday where more than 10,000 pot plants were growing.

The field, which covered upward of seven acres and was located where the city limits to Grand Prairie and Dallas meet, was discovered Friday after a caller phoned in a tip to Grand Prairie police.

10,000 plants here in Northern California would be a tiny patch.

The ones here in Northern California are all 60,000 to 100,000 plants

This is more like it:

Massive marijuana garden found in California
July 12 2007 at 12:55AM Santa Barbra - A massive marijuana garden - 61 000 plants worth nearly $200-million (about R1,3-billion)- was discovered in a remote area in Southern California.

Three Mexicans were arrested and plants up to 2,4m-tall were uprooted after authorities found the garden near the border of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, Sergeant Erik Raney said.

Yep, that's California alright.

LOL - maybe I am just in deep denial, but I think pot should be legal and that alcohol is WAY more dangerous than pot.

It's gonna take a lot more than this study to make me scared of pot....but that's just my bad attitude about the subject.

I feel the exactly the same way :clap:

 

[indallas2]

I was thinking about, who do we know in Texas that can run over there, and load up a truck, or two. We need to make hemp while the sun shines.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................... I wonder??????

They say that laughing prevents psychosis from setting in.

id2, you best run right over there and make sure it is being properly guarded, lest some of those hemp bandits attempt to snatch some of it. Tell them if they need help guarding it, JBeanya, and I, can be there in no time at all.

30,000 plants is nothing to sneeze at. While it isn't yet quite up to CA standards, it's definitely headed in the right direction.

Three of the four large, outdoor pot caches discovered recently in the Dallas area have been in the Mountain Creek area, including the previous record haul of 10,451 plants found last month.

I'd hate to be that person who had to count each one of those plants.

I'll volunteer to help count 'em if some of you help me! Wouldn't want to bogart....

Seriously, it is amazing how huge they get. I have a friend who grows just two plants each year at his lake place and has a very under the radar harvest party in the fall after they've dried. It is something else, just garbage bag after garbage bag of the stuff. He never sells ANY. He and his nutty friends (most advertising types), all in funny hats, sit at tables in the garage (the scene of every important event in Minnesota) and break it up. All around the garage are mounted big 'ole American flags - I'd say about 10 of them - the pricey ones, hand-sown with gold fringe. They pass the stuff around on cookie sheets all night long.

But I don't touch the stuff. Well, at least I don't inhale. :innocent:

They just found a small patch of about 25,000 plants just up the road from me. They are still pulling it.

From now on when I hike, I think I'll take the cross country route. Staying on the trails means I'm missing some of the best scenery.

Maybe we shouldn't wait to be asked. Let's just surprise them!

lmao
one for me and one for you, two for me and two for you......

 

[Rosco]

What if you didn't inhale?

I had to jump in here. This thread is SOO funny!

The Smilies are just fantastic!

IMO - Of the two, I believe pot to be a much safer drug than alcohol.

If you find anything, will you share? :innocent:

After reading the article, there is no basis for the claim that pot causes psychosis.

Why, because there is not genetic indication if a person was pre-disposed to a mental illness and pot attributed to that mental illness or if that mental illness would have happened with or without pot.

Also there is not way to determine if people did other drugs that could attribute again to mental illness.

So here we have people who have mental illness and smoked pot. Did they have a mental illness before, is there a family history.

The way this article sounds: Everyone who smokes pot is going to develop a mental illness. That is just not accurate.

If a person does one X pill, since that pill affects the chemical balance in the brain you have people who are in their early 20's who have Parkinson.

That would be a link.

Most definitely Squish. A number of years back, there was a pot smuggling boat that hurriedly dumped a load of bricks off of our coast, which washed into the beach, and I can remember a TV reporter, early in the morning, attempting to interview a guy with a large backpack who was climbing the hill coming up off of the beach, but couldn't get anything more than an ear-to-ear grin from the guy.

I live at the beach, but all I ever find are shells.

Finders keepers, losers weepers...LOL Buzz, I love it! I find it quite often in my students' backpacks and what not but alas, I have to turn it in.

a little OT but I am from a small town and they once found a lot of Pot and decided that instead of storing it, they were going to BURN it. R U Kidding?! people all round were hiding in the bushes trying to get the smoke!
