Forest Rangers Hate Pot

From Newser:
Marijuana growers are devastating national forests and creating a "clear and present danger to the public and the environment," a top Forest Service official testified before the Senate last week. 

Major marijuana plots have been detected on some 67 forests across 20 states, and the trend is only growing, the Forest Service's law enforcement director says. The forests make it easy to avoid detection thanks to a lack of people and an abundance of dense vegetation, and they provide an environment in which the plants can thrive, David Ferrell note.

And it's wreaking havoc on the environment: Chemicals including rat poison get dumped on land and washed into streams coursing through the parks; plots are razed to make way for the plants, disrupting wildlife in the process; and a massive amount of water is removed from lakes and streams to sustain the pot.

A number of solutions have been suggested, from a larger government crackdown to pot legalization, which might prompt growers to do their work elsewhere.

Got pot?

Motherfuckers. This is more anti-pot bullshit from the government. Are you fucking kidding me with this? Pot is killing our national forests? How about deforestation, forest fires, pollution and the hundred other things that actually do fuck with forests? How is removing water from a fucking stream to grow a  bunch of weed hurting the ecosystem? It isn't.

This is some fucking bullshit in a can. Disrupting wildlife my ass. What do the bears get high when they eat the weed and spend all day sitting around watching Futurama? I don't fucking think so douchebags.

And I love how they exaggerate shit to make you forget how small a fraction of the forests actually have pot grows in them. 67 forests in 20 states have pot in them that the forest services know about the article says. According to wikipedia there are about 155 national forests. So a third of them have pot in them, who the fuck cares? I mean really if people want to grow weed so bad they set up shop in the middle of fucking nowhere to set up some plants, how the fuck are you going to stop them Smokey the Bear? Fuck you.
