Pot bears in the news

Reminds me of Tommy Chong passing the "Labrador" to Cheech Marin. Seems we might have nickle bags of "Black Bear" making the rounds soon.

A lot of marijuana (in South Africa it is known as dagga) is grown in Transkei, as well as in Zululand.
A key route between western part of Transkei and Cape Town passes through the Eastern Cape towns of Queenstown and Tarkastad.
The police (national) and traffic police (provincial) used to have roadblocks at Tarkastad checking on what went through, and used to confiscated large quantities of the stuff.
When local magistrate’s court had convicted the traffickers, the police had to get rid of the stuff. Once a week a steam train went from Queenstown to Tarkastad (a dead end line), and on that day the police would take their bags of unwanted dagga down to the station and chuck it into the locomotive’s firebox.
It was said that the train was “high” on its way back to Queenstown.
Steam locomotives were withdrawn from most routes about 30 years ago, and many routes are no longer in use (I don’t think Tarkastad has seen a train in all those years).
So I wonder what the Tarkastad police do with all their dagga these days . . .

Mike

Given the well-known behaviour of bears in the woods, one could also advertise said product as "organically fertilized".
