The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said." "so we ***** rolled the most gigantic doobie youve ever seen in your life, even allah would be trippin"
- megaloid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+80If both sides started smoking it, the war would grind to a halt amid clouds of ganga.

I bet I could burn them! - imnsi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+65Canada really seems to be winning the War on Drugs
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49Send in Sergeant Towlie and Leeroy Jenkins, they'll take care of it.
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4510 feet?
***** dude that's got to be millions or billions of U$D worth of hash. - rindin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43"That ***** started burnin' [the weed] but then we forgot what the hell we were doing and had a barbecue... Man that was some good potato salad."
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40If you want to be the next multi-millionaire build a white castle next to that field.
- cryptocom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40So THAT's where those Weapons of Mass Delusion went!
- Ystig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those [forests] did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said dryly.
Ill effects, you say. Well, I guess being hit with a case of the munchies on the battlefield counts as an ill effect. - GerryDaman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37That was a "high"ly motivating story. Go Canada!
- RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34They rushed us into war and underestimated the need for funyuns.
- Sonizel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29they will leave some crop, and one day it will be on of Afganistans biggest tourist destinations, "...and if you look on my right you will see 10 foot tall canabis plants that actual terrorists tried to hide in, needless to say to Canadians 'smoked them out'".
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26So I really am helping the terrorists. Damn.
- maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23before I die... I want to be in a marijuana forest
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Dude, if this keeps up, round trip tickets will be hotter than a PS3s on ebay.
Also, if the taliban hides in there, just wait for about 2 hours and then follow the column of smoke... - one1plus1one, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Isn't Canada also the only country that sports a "leaf" on their flag?
- billyoblog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21"A section of troops that were downwind had some ill effects"??????? Oh that's rich,.... "dude what's that smell? Man, you know what I would dig right now? A canadian bacon sandwich,...yeah ...with some onion rings and ice cream and maybe some butterscotch pudding,....hey check out that cloud.....it looks like a horse's face, dude check it out ay."..
- PeteyEks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Have you ever faught a war on terror.... ON WEED!?
- Methodius, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17heh, "a potent enemy"
Potent indeed, my friend. - mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Don't worry, people who buy gasoline are too.
- gardnert1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18When the war on drugs and the war on terror meet...
- Cybie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16This looks like a job for a Jamaican Special Forces unit! :)
- PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I can't imagine that they're not taking "free samples."
- WiseWeasel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Leave it to the Pakistanis to grant their citizens personal freedom of choice...
- mhearne, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Canada doesn't have a "War on Drugs" like the United States does. They also have medical marijuana, and their agriculturalists are bright enough to know the difference between hemp and marijuana.
Don't forget that the U.S. Government survives on a "Chicken Little" philosophy, and that just because the people who run things have all the money, doesn't necessarily mean they aren't stupid, they are.
Marijuana isn't imported from Afghanistan, so why should we worry about burning it? I thought the problem was heroin. By the way, next time you have dental work, and need codeine, you know who to blame when they charge you $14 a pill! - Lane, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11talk about a recruiting incentive...
- lump1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9You're right, artgon. There has never been a weed problem that a bunch of Canadians couldn't "solve". This is exactly why we need coalition partners! We better stay friends with the Germans, in case the Taliban starts hiding in lakes of beer!
- InsaneMachine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I don't think you want soldiers that are high fighting. Bad idea. Remember the "lets give acid to the soldiers and see what happens" movie. I believe it was the British that did that experiment.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -1/+10"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those [forests] did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said dryly.
Dryly indeed.. he must have cotton mouth! - asdfasdf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Cannabis grows natively in Afghanistan, but come to think about it, the Indica strain does, not so much the Sativa, and Indicas are usually small. On the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan is a strip that has literally no rules. Drugs are sold in the open along with fruit and vegetables. Hundreds of pounds of hash, opium and heroin just sitting on carts with lines piled up waiting to buy.
- dharm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8in a recent survey, in BC atleast, 1/6 BC citizens smoked weed. In some areas, more people smoke weed than drink alcohol.
- Books, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Of course we can't burn it...we are doing it all wrong. We need to first break it down, roll it up and then light it up, - not with phosphorus...just a lighter. Those ill faded effects must have been nice too.
The article write for CNN must have had a blast writing this story, lol. - mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Would they be so bent on burning it if it were bamboo?
Don't criticize it... Legalize it! - billyoblog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Hey Sarge,...some Talibanis just ran into that marijuana forest over there, what do we do?......Well private, I guess we'll just have to smoke em out !!!... Fetch the bong son.
- kadio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9where do i sign up?
- JMJimmy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6We're only one of the most effective armies in the world historically.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8MILF weed has nothing on that.
- dharm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5i bought some afghan seeds when i was in amsterdam and grew it. Its not that great...
but 10 foot plants would be great to see still. - Thuktun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4An interesting bit from the article:
"General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana."
Like a moving stand of 10-foot-high marijuana plants won't be noticed. - Pureeviljester, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Maybe if we allowed marijuana for medicine they wouldn't have to burn it.
Legalize Pot - jamessavik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Before the Soviets invaded, Afghan hash and weed could be found here in the states. You paid a premium for it but it was worth it. Afghan bud has a distinctive skunky oder and is usually bright green with red hairs. The arid desert climate makes the plants resin thicker and the smoke stronger. It has been crossed with domestic strains by breeders looking to improve their seed stock.
Prior to the Soviet invasion, the use of pot and hash was uncommon in Russia. It quickly became a big problem for the Soviet military in Afghanistan. Soldiers brought it home with them. - zodo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It was called Jacob's Ladder: http://imdb.com/title/tt0099871/
- artgon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6No. They just sent us in to take care of the weed problem.
- Vandelay797, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i know where im going on my next vacation
- jkenda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4As a thought, we should just buy all of the pot-might produce more stability in the area
- megaloid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Soldiers brought it home with them."
Good. Anything that lures Russia away from vodka is a step in the right direction. - Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2518/osamabinsmokinkt6.jpg
