The Daily News reports that firefighters found a pot-growing operation in a commercial warehouse on Decatur Street yesterday morning. They had just put out a fire in a building next door when "Somehow the smoke-eaters sniffed out the pot in a three-story building next door and called the cops," who then removed 80 to 100 marijuana plants. The building's super says he was clueless because the "growing area because it was chained off and padlocked." This is just the latest in the timeless tradition of the authorities dealing with incidents and then stumbling onto pot farms (examples 1, 2, and 3).




Did the firemen get the munchies?
And there was much joy and celebrating at the firehouse that evening.
80-100...
Me thinks that number is going to be closer to 80 in the end.
So THIS is why I'm having trouble finding any this week. BOOO!!
Do they have zombies working for NYPD now?
just decriminalize it and let the taxes go toward useful things in this city.
Decriminalizing isn't enough. That just means you wont get busted for it. We need full blown legalization and regulation.
What's a smoke eater?
Wow there's some organized crime for you. Somebody's got the balls to grow from so far away past Amsterdam. They should have opened up an ligament business and then vacation in Brussels from the profits. George Jung wannabes will never learn.
