But who would smoke it?
You might call it a hippie’s dream … or nightmare, depending on how you look at it. In March, authorities in Nogales, Ariz., near the Mexican border, found two feces-covered bales of marijuana tied to a rope feeding into a sewer system, according to the Associated Press.
Nogales police say public works employees hauled out an estimated 39 pounds of pot while investigating a clogged sewer line. Investigators said that the bales were smaller than a suitcase and tied to 900 feet of rope in a narrow pipe that connects systems in the U.S. and Mexico.
It was the first time police had discovered marijuana being smuggled via sewer line, Police Lt. Carlos Jimenez said.
Police say a search at the Rio Rico sewer plant, where the feed ends, did not turn up more drugs. The drugs’ street value was estimated at more than $20,000.
