#33  You should see what goes through Frank G's head most of the day.

The gentleman wears Hawaiian shirts


The only real problem in all of this is not that Frank wears Hawiian shirts, it's just that a Hawiian shirt is all he wears.

#29  The High Times reporter must have been stoned out of his mind since Afghan hash has always been the most popular and available, except during the Soviet invasion.

#25  They could see over those marygeewanna plants with one of these... and have a blast at the same time.
Dunno if it can carry a camera, but they probably won't care.

#4  'In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana."

Last time I checked hanging Mary Jane upside down off the side of a vehicle was a good way as any to dry it out... I wonder how long their superiors will allow them to camo their armored carrier in this manner?

Hopefully for a long time... fight on boys... fight on!
