Hunting Season Overlaps With Marijuana Harvest Season

By Rocky Thompson on September 29th, 2011

A deer hunter in Northern California tipped police off on what he thought was a massive stand of marijuana growing on public land. The police arrived and found 1,991 plants that they estimate are work about $3.8 million. They also dismantled a dam that had been setup to divert water to the illegal farm. People in the area reported that they’d seen workers going into the field every day, which begs the question why the police didn’t bother arresting anyone who’s been trashing wildlife areas to grow marijuana.

These farms on public land must be all over the place. If you’re in Northern CA and don’t have the money to fill your pot prescription, just go to a national forest and walk in a straight line. You’re bound to find a bunch of it for free sooner or later.

    I know it’s meant as a joke, but just in case; One should never go looking for pot farms(on public land or private). It’s just plain dangerous. Better advice is that if you see one, turn around and leave quickly and quietly.
