Pot and the Taliban

The new terrorist threat? Pot. This might be a bit dated but it seems marijuana is causing all kinds of problems in Afghanistan.

Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of 10-feet-high marijuana plants....Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover...

"We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said.


Seriously, pot?
