Chicago Pot Farm's Plants as Big as Trees - GoFuckYourself.com

brassmonkey · 10-03-2012, 08:52 PM

Urban farming is usually thought of as a niche business for high-end food produce. In Chicago, it has taken on a new meaning.

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.

There was camping equipment on the scene thought to be used by the grower or dealer to guard the illegal farm. Officials believe the plants were within few weeks of being harvested. "The guess is these were probably planted in the spring," said McCarthy.

Police will haul out the marijuana and burn it at a disposal site used by the bomb and arson squad.

But McCarthy said the importance of this discovery is more than just finding and destroying so much pot. Busts like this put "the squeeze on the finances of organizations" whose drug profits spread violence.

"Whoever harvests this marijuana is obviously running a large-scale operation," McCarthy explained. "And at the same time the profits from that will be used to purchase firearms. And that's where the violence comes in- is the competition for the markets."

My mom tells this story of something that happened in our area when I was still a baby. The police found a huge pot grow on an abandoned lot right in the middle of a residential area. They cut it all down, piled it up, threw gas on it and burned it all. My mom said there were all kinds of people standing around inhaling the smoke. Once the police realized the error of their ways they called the fire department to put the fire out but by then the cops and everyone in a three block radius was high as hell.

I be the owner of 7-11 loved it as half the town suddenly got the munchies.

Same thing happened near where I live now. They found a large crop mixed in a corn field near the river just outside of downtown. They pulled it all out into the middle of the street and set it afire. Only they didn't see the error in their ways

Boggles the mind how a plant by itself can be illegal. Selling it, OK, I get it. But growing it... no logic at all there. It's a plant.

What is crazy is how hemp is illegal just because it is related to pot. You can smoke all the hemp you want and not get high, but it is still illegal. Hemp alone could solve many of our energy issues in this country, but because it looks like pot we can't have it.

I remember in the UK when magic mushrooms, as long as they were fresh, were legal.

You could pick them and eat them in the field, but if you dried them, you 'prepared' them for use. They became illegal.

Why do the cops think that the pot growers would use the money to guns? Most guns are illegal in Chicago.

If it comes from the earth, whatever it may do to you, should be legal to consume and have for personal use. Considering how many Americans believe in God and he created everything, then based on that theory he created shrooms and weed for us, his children, to enjoy.

Really? That is a sticking point for you? I can see where you might want to legalize it but the law as to why it is illegal to grow it seems pretty clear to me.

Tom_PM · 10-04-2012, 07:09 AM

I've never known a pot head to be a gun nut or out seeking to do violence. I guess it could happen, but the way the article links pot to gun violence is pretty casual and overlooked it seems. Maybe hollywood movies are more accurate than we think.

The Porn Nerd · 10-04-2012, 08:09 AM

I love the fucking cops in Chicago: burn the pot and say all that profit will go to GUNS people, so we MUST stop it....

Hey Chicago brainiacs, here's a fucking idea: LEGALIZE IT.

Makaveli · 10-04-2012, 10:08 AM

The biggest pot plant I ever grew was over 12f tall. Some asshole came and chopped it down 30 days too soon.
