LAZARO CARDENAS, Mexico - Soldiers trying to seize control of one Mexico's top drug-producing regions found the countryside teeming with a new hybrid marijuana plant that can be cultivated year-round and cannot be killed with pesticides.

"These plants have been genetically improved," army Gen. Manuel Garcia told a handful of journalists allowed to accompany soldiers on a daylong raid of some 70 marijuana fields. "Before we could cut the plant and destroy it, but this plant will come back to life unless it's taken out by the roots."

The new plants, known as "Colombians," mature in about two months and can be planted at any time of year, meaning authorities will no longer be able to time raids to coincide with twice-yearly harvests
--------------------
Apparently these are midget zombie plants that can rise from the dead.

How about this: Round up all those huge MJ plants, drop them all around Baghdad, and lite 'em. That should mellow everyone out a little at least....

Oh, I just wanted to say that the new improved marijuana seems to be really hardy and grow like a ... ahem ... weed ...

That photo that was included with the new article is just begging for a TCM caption contest .

Here's my submissions:

"Dude! Ixnay on the ameracay."

Or,

"Hey everyone. My brother has offered to destroy all these plants in his incinerator. Follow me!"

Or,

"High adoption rate for new Mexican Army pension plan."

I watched this video on PBS (UNC-TV)
http://www.tinroofvideo.com/ excellent

It goes through a lot of what we have heard of the history of weed in the US, but is more in depth than any I have seen. It focuses more on the "whys" than "highs".

ooo captions...

Just say Whoa!

Not a caption, a voice-over, in a cultured male British voice:

Behind me soldiers ... rugged soldiers, the size of Wales ....
