YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — U.S. Border Patrol agents say smugglers have come up with yet another creative way to get drugs in the country — a cannon.

Authorities say 33 cans of marijuana were spotted Friday in a field near where the Colorado River crosses the U.S.-Mexico border. They believe the cans were launched about 500 feet into the U.S. using a pneumatic-powered cannon.

After searching the area, agents recovered a carbon dioxide tank.

Mexican authorities were also notified and searched their side of the border.

The 85 pounds of marijuana found in the cans had an estimated value of $42,500.

Authorities say Border Patrol agents in the Yuma sector near the Arizona-California border are adapting and shifting resources as smugglers come up with new ways of transporting their contraband.

:lol: not very subtle

[PorkChopSandwiches]

that pic didnt come with the story ;)

[redred]

imagine being hit by a can of that :lol:

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I dont think they are launching into a town :lol:

[Hal-9000]

that's what I mean....it's a brutish way to smuggle with all sorts of logistical problems :lol:

number one - you can't hit people, cars, livestock
number two - you have to collect all of your canisters
number three - what kind of sound does a CO2 canon make that can shoot a projectile 500 feet?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Well the border between the US and Mexico is pretty desolate in most areas, they would have no problem doing it without being caught. I bet they had been doing it for a long time up until now.

[Hal-9000]

doesn't Lance patrol it in the Tacoma at nights?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

On the donkey from Shrek

[Hal-9000]

it's inventive but seems cumbersome in terms of collection and movement ( the weed canisters, not Lance's patrols )

[PorkChopSandwiches]

The cannon was probably mounted in the back of a truck, all they need to do is fill the gas canister, probably only takes an hour to launch the 30 cans, and you dont have to pay someone to smuggle it. Just have your guys on the other side to pick it up. I dont know how they cam up with 40k on 85 lbs of dirt weed, but it seems cost effective to me. Driving through border patrol you are more then likely getting caught.

[Hal-9000]

yeah for sure....anything is better than trying to cross legally with that much chiba...


it's the other side..I envision dudes driving around in the dark trying to locate canisters :lol:


lots of work for crappy Mexican weed...

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I know, I guess we are spoiled here, I dont even see dirt weed anywhere, they must truck it off to the East Coast where they dont get good weed

[FBD]

that's why they go fishing for square grouper off the cost of florida :lol:

I know there's dirt weed around, but I havent seen any in ages ;)

number three - what kind of sound does a CO2 canon make that can shoot a projectile 500 feet?

probably something like ffffpooooommmmssssshhhhhhhh.... :shrug:

[Muddy]

This is ignorant.. Just go to Colorado and drive it across..

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Drive across the Colorado river?

[Muddy]

Drive across the Colorado river?

Is Colorado surrounded by a river?

[Lambchop]

I'm worried for you guys when they modify these cannons to fire Mexicans over the border. They're going to give a whole new meaning to Mexican jumping beans.

[Godfather]

I read the title as "Smugglers use cannon to launch cans of Mexicans into the US :rofl: It made sense that way too...

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Is Colorado surrounded by a river?

Are you under the impression Colorado borders Mexico?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Are you under the impression Colorado borders Mexico?

Sure does feel like it when you look at all the freaking Mexicans we have here :|

[Hal-9000]

they have a moat that Lance controls

[Muddy]

Are you under the impression Colorado borders Mexico?

No, my impression is why smuggle dope across the Mexican border when you can buy it legally in Col.?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Its not in Colorado, the river runs thru multiple states.

[Muddy]

What in the fork are you talking about?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

The weed isnt going to Colorado. Its landing in AZ

[Muddy]

I would have thought the legalization of weed In 2 states would have crushed the smuggling of weed into the country.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Once its fully legal it will

[Muddy]

I dont think you are snorting up the lines I am laying out.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

another gagger please

kkkkkchhhh kkkchhhh kkkch

Detroit Sour Diesel?

I tried some strange shit in Amsterdam called Jack Herer. Looked and tasted nothing like any other strain.

Light green with TONS of orange / reddish hairs?

[Lambchop]

This was back in 2007 so I can't remember exactly but it had a lot of very small fluffy pieces branching out from the main bud. It gave me a boost of energy unlike the other stuff I tried.

On the other hand, the Super Silver Haze I tried awoke an African hunger in me.

My buddy grows a hybrid of Jack Herer and Skunk #1 we call J1, it smells and tastes way different then any other weed. Thats one of the few weeds that you can recognize by smell :tup:

[Acid Trip]

Real Jack Herer:

I agree on the smell comment. There is only a few strains I can pick out from the rest.

1) Sour Diesel
2) Pineapple Express
3) Blueberry (any variety)
4) Jack Herer

[Hal-9000]

How'd it smell? :lol:


Detroit Sour Diesel?

A little like kush (stinky) with a slight perfumey bouquet. I thought it was going to be crap until joint number2 and then I had to sit down :lol:


not sure on the Detroit moniker

my friend gets silver haze 3 times a year....you CANNOT carry that stuff on your person :lol: The smell is different that anything else I've had. Probably some of the most potent weed I get..

[Muddy]

Does that weed make you mellow or paranoid?

[Lambchop]

I've never gotten paranoid on any weed....I've gotten too shitfaced to let's say, go shopping or deal with the public....so maybe that's a type of paranoia :lol:

I usually take care of life things first, then get all red eyed and stupid. I'm a night smoker, never for work.

Cannabidiol, Its the chill part.

[Hal-9000]

the weed smells so rank that I know it's all over my clothes and my hands so I don't go to the mall or any police functions..

[Hal-9000]

and after all of these years....weed still gives me the munchies


I get a real desire for sweet stuff or girls with nice asses :oops:
