Hmm.. Could it be?

Nah, there is no way it could be that easy to spot the damn thing! Check out the attachment below. I found this bright green plants perking up among the brown and dry growth in the area using Microsoft Live maps.

Interestingly enough, I estimate that field to be around 250 yards by 150 yards. Each plant on that screen is no bigger than 3 yards across if you measure them.

Cool as $hit!^

There is no way that many plants were growing there. Totally not enough space. Yet again, another example of how the law lies to get more money. Also that picture was from last year in the fall I suppose, so those are mature mothers. You can see where they have puled the males out as there are gaps in the patch.

Great operation, Horrible horrible place to do it.

That sucks. With all the bust they are having out there I wonder how dry it has gotten for people who need that stuff to deal with their pains and what not.
