Chicago Pot Farm's Plants as Big as Trees! | |
tammy User ID: 24411231 United States 10/04/2012 12:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Urban farming is usually thought of as a niche business for high-end food produce. In Chicago, it has taken on a new meaning. Quoting: Gonviral 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. The discovery was noteworthy not only for the size of the growing area but for the size of the plants themselves, some as tall as Christmas trees, according to police. "Usually you see a marijuana plant that's 3-feet high. These resemble plants that you'd see out in California, running anywhere from 4-foot to 8-foot high," said Nick Roti, head of the Chicago Police Organized Crime Bureau. |

Back in the 1970s, a friend of mine grew a dozen plants in his backyard one summer. They were 12-14 ft high, truly Marijuna trees. The biggest I've ever seen or likely will ever see. No doubt they got so big because he was able to tend to them every day. Unfortunately someone stole most of them one night and only two were left. One plant produced two pounds of dried purple blueish bud, that's how huge it was. Tomfoolery |

In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |
