Looking for the Marijuana

West Virginia

It must be August.

Marijuana is the number one cash crop in West Virginia.

This State Police helicopter was flying at tree level. They have infrared devices which look specifically for marijuana.

I was talking to a neighbor who works for EMS and he told me they got a tip there was some in the woods between where I live and a nearby road. He also told me he had a friend who had one of these land in her backyard. When they saw her they realized immediately she didn't look like your typical pot grower and asked her if she had a hot tub. She did. Apparently the infrared device confuses hot tubs with marijuana. I can only imagine some of the ramifications of that. LOL.

My standpoint on the whole issue of growing m. is this: Legalize it. Just think of the revenue it could generate. Not one that smokes it myself, cant handle it. But I can think of worse things. Plus it has medicinal purposes.

Cool shot! I had no idea about the crops in WV! Hmmm, the two might go very well together.
