but for a full story on these pot heads.

Mexican and American officials have foiled a scheme where smugglers tried to fling marijuana across the Arizona-Mexico border using a catapult.
National Guard troops operating a remote video surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station say they observed several people preparing a catapult and launching packages over the International Border fence last Friday evening.
According to CBS affiliate KOLD, Border Patrol agents working with the National Guard contacted Mexican authorities, who went to the location and disrupted the catapult operation.
The 9-foot-tall catapult was found about 20 yards from the U.S. border on a flatbed towed by a sport utility vehicle, according to a Mexican army officer with the 45th military zone in the border state of Sonora.
The catapult was capable of launching 4.4 pounds of marijuana at a time, the officer said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity for security reasons.
According to CBS News' "The Early Show," soldiers seized 35 pounds of marijuana, the vehicle and the catapult device, the officer said. The smugglers left the area before they could be captured.

Freakin smart. Border control is cracking down...How else are they're homies gonna get dat weed? Lol...All racist comments aside, Pretty smart. If they had been in a more remote area it would of worked. And who knows how long this has been happening, or if this is a recent occurrence. I'd say good for them, but its drugs...Don't do drugs, give hugs...type of thing...

Next thing we know, we're going to have drug addicts create the first known method of teleportation just to transport illegal drugs without traceability.
