This one made me laugh, too, only because here they say the "6,000 to 10,000 plants. The plants ranged in height from one-foot to seven-feet" are worth about 1 Million, yet, 104 lbs. of bud on another case was worth $4.7 million???

6000 plants? LOL! Birds are going to eat a seed or 2, crap them out elsewhere and we'll have wild crops of Cannabis Ruderalis growing across America...again!

Marijuana patch gets the hatchet
About four acres of wild weed cut, burned
Susie Williams-Allen (405) 527-2126

Purcell, Ok -- Cultivated or just growing wild, that’s what law enforcement wondered after a rancher discovered marijuana growing on his ranch.
The McClain County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by a rancher saying he had found what appeared to be marijuana growing.

A look at the patch revealed approximately four acres with 6,000 to 10,000 plants. The plants ranged in height from one-foot to seven-feet.
“It was determined the marijuana was a wild patch,” Detective Dan Huff with the sheriff’s office said.

The undisclosed location gave sheriff’s officials a day or two of work after they started chopping the wild weeds down. These will be burned.
After chopping and clearing what they can, chemicals may be used to eliminate the rest of the crop.

Huff said it was determined the four acres wasn’t a cultivated crop.
“If it was cultivated and groomed, the street value would have been around $1 million,” he said. “This was not the case with this particular field.”

The difference between the wild weed growing and the cultivated marijuana plants is the THC content. Huff said the THC content in this particular patch is estimated at one percent instead of the four to eight percent of cultivated marijuana.

hope the farmer knew what he did by calling in LEO, he won't harvest well in those fields for the coming years once they done with the chemical club.

besides that, you right ISO, it is funny if you monitor the given values by LEO - the best you could say in their favor is that it is all made up and make believe, if you not in favor of them you could say it plain and simple: They are just freakin liars that get fat on our tax money!

and why shouldn't wild seeded marijuana grow to the same potential as cultivated one - all grows under the same sun to start with and why shouldn't the seeds originated from some cultivated patch, there has to be a source somewhere.

or in the words of the first drug czar: "on day i was standing on a bridge next to a field where we been eradicating the devils crop [how wrong we humans can be] and if i turned my head i could see the same stuff grow in the ditch on the other side of the bridge already..."

I guess even he had noticed by then that he was fighting something way to big - God's crop and no one can win against that fella's green thumb

It is somewhat ironic, that we as humans, can be responsible for untold numbers of animal and plant species extinctions, all unintended, but a government with all its resources can't eradicate a weed when they try. Thank god, and good for us.
