Dude, Didn’t We Have 60 Pounds of Pot?
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Highway Patrol says anyone missing two big bags of pot can call their Tampa area office. A crew picking up litter from along Interstate 4 near Tuesday morning made an unusual find: two big plastic garbage bags stuffed with freshly harvested marijuana. According to State Troopers, it appeared as if they had fallen off of the back of a vehicle.
FHP Trooper Larry Coggins says the 60 pounds of pot might be worth around $54,000 on the street. It probably fell off or was thrown from a car on the interstate.
The plants appeared freshly picked and some had intact roots.
Coggins says it’s not the largest amount of pot ever dumped along a roadside, but it’s certainly not a common find.
Merry Christmas! LMAO!!!

November 28th, 2007 at 3:38 pmOh, thats where i left my 60lbs of pot!
This sounds like someone who ran across a pot farm and decided to rip off a bunch of plants. Then they probably chickened out and dumped it. When people harvest pot, I don’t think they take the whole plant, just the usable portions. Because I don’t really know anything about pot farming, its just a guess.
