Foreclosure Bargain: Grow House with 100 Pot Plants!
A real estate agent who was handling the sale of a foreclosed houes in Jamaica, Queens discovered 100 marijuana plants inside. The subprime meltdown really is hitting all corners of the city.
WCBS 2 reports that the discovery was made on Thursday afternoon and police removed all the plants from 170-04 118th Avenue. No further details were available, but we're guessing the previous occupants weren't able to rent a van to remove their goods.
Last month, some issues with a utility pole led the FDNY to find a Queens basement full of pot plants. And last year, the smell of over 300 marijuana plants (plus 10 lawn bags of marijuana being dried) attracted the cops to a grow house in Floral Park.

They were being grown for medicinal purposes only.
What a total buzzkill. They didn't even grow to their fullest potential.
