[The Helper]

HERMOSILLO, Mexico (AP) — The Mexican army says soldiers have seized two catapults that were being used by drug smugglers to fling packages of marijuana across the border into Arizona.

A military statement Tuesday says an anonymous tip led troops to a house in the border city of Agua Prieta where they found a catapult in the bed of a pickup truck and another inside the house.

Yeah, I know! Now we'll just have to grow more weed here on US soil to make up for it!

Yeah, I'm not really sure how effective using a catapult to throw a box of weed over the border is. Fuckin' stoners... hahaha

It says soldiers also seized 1.4 tons (1.3 metric tons of marijuana)

1.4 tons of catapult weed?! Hot damn!

You should've seen my expression when I realized what I just read.
I had already read the next three headlines when it dawned on me. I had to read it again to make sure I hadn't misread.

You still got good old Canadian weed. British Columbia grows the best in the country so Washington state probably gets most of it.

By the way, they guard their weed with bears over there. Just saying.

Well I'm in California, with good ol' Proposition 215. We have bombbb weed out here, in convenient little liquor-store like shops with online menus like WeedMaps.

Just imagine: You're walking on a route somewhere, WHEN A FUCKING TON OF MARIJUANA lands right next to you, along with papers and maybe an occasional lighter

... Best day ever

 

[DDRtists]

Now my question is, did they have targets for the marijuana catapults? Or did they just randomly launch them at shit and hope for the best? Seems pretty risky.
I'd love to see a video of said thing in action. And I definitely won't try to build one. Definitely not.

Welcome back to the Roman era, flinging drugs across many miles, avoiding guards blocking the Gates of Rome!

Loved the idea of using the catapult, but I won't comment on why it is used for this occasion.

Actually they're pretty smart to use a catapult in the first place lmao xD

If they were smarter they'd have built a gauss cannon.

Why would you need to put fireworks on a gauss cannon?

No. On the top of the box!
It would be an awesome new kind of fireworks. Well, it might be burned, But Oh well
