The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsI Knew Seniors Were A Bad Influence
And, here's the proof.
It seems some pot plants have been found by a local deputy at a retirement home in Arizona.
A Yavapai County sheriff's deputy patrolling a senior housing development outside Prescott Wednesday spotted a 5-foot-tall marijuana plant growing between two residents' driveways.Uh huh.Deputy Justin Dwyer got out, identified the plant and interviewed the residents, spokeswoman Susan Quayle said. They told the deputy they thought the plant was "just an attractive weed, and they had been watering it because it looked so nice."
Quayle said it appeared the plant was growing wild and probably sprouted from a stray seed. Dwyer told the homeowners he would have to confiscate it and asked them to call deputies if more were found.
Sure there granny, we believe you. A pretty weed, eh.
I'll say.

I guess there are some perks to be being elderly!

Hell, when I was a little kid in Las Vegas during the early 1950's, the police were constantly burning wild plants; the things sprung up around ditches and fields everywhere. Birds used to eat the seeds a lot. Most of the people back then didn't even know what a hemp plant looked like.

Reminds me of a joke we used to say about Yavapai residents:
Q: What do you get when you gather up 32 Yavapai women in the same place?
A: A full mouth of teeth!

From an economic standpoint, I think we're in big trouble if senior citizens keep going this route and take over the growth and distribution of illegal narcotics. Young people need jobs you know.
