Drug smugglers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border tried to get a little too fresh this week.

A shipment of fresh carrots intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents on Sunday turned out to be a mixture of real produce and 2,493 pounds of marijuana wrapped to look like carrots, the agency said Wednesday.

The shipment was seized at the Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry in Pharr, Texas, roughly 230 miles south of San Antonio. The agency said a "non-intrusive imaging inspection" prompted officers to take a closer look with the help of a canine team.

I haven't read the article, but knowing how these estimates go I'm assuming they quoted this with a street value near tonight's Powerball jackpot.

They should have mixed in real carrots if not.

Another reason to legalize weed already. Who wants to have their kids eating carrots only for it to turn out to be weed. Who will think of these kids.


But seriously though, legalize it so the black market (mexican cartels, gang lords, mafia, etc) won't and can't make money off it to fund their more hardcore activities (murder, rape, theft, etc).
