Details are continuing to emerge regarding Osama bin Laden's top-secret Abbottabad compound, but the discovery of some marijuana plants just yards from the home has set the blogosphere aflame with speculation.
Said to be worth $1 million (though that estimate is now hotly debated), the home of the world's most feared terrorist has attracted crowds of Pakistanis and media to its now sealed-off gates. But a stroll around the 20-foot-tall, barbed wire-ringed walls led CNN's Nic Robertson to the cannibis crop, barely hidden alongside a garden of cabbages and potatoes.

These plants are so common in villages of Pakistan and India and grow up on their own. Average Joe doesn't have a clue what this actually is, and how to process it in order to sale it. They just grow and die on their own, depending on season of year.
Second, its not worth $1 million where you are seeing it. Its worth $1 million once reached US or Europe. And that "reached" part is what make its worth, not the self-grown plants itself.
But props to our media, they can make big deal out of rat's shit.
