LOL, for a second I thought they were talking about Tarrytown, NY. The article mentioned both Mt Vernon and Tarrytown, both in Westchester County. I was curious as to where there would be cotton fields in Westchester.

Seems like a stretch of the imagination to claim its worth at four million.

Over $4 million in marijuana seized by lawmen

I would guess then that it has a street value of about a quarter million.

LOL. Some plants were 2 inches tall? Thank goodness no one was hurt! Sounds like this is just growing wild - funny to think of the Barney Fifes getting all worked up about it. I know it grows wild here in WV in the Eastern Panhandle where there used to be cultivated for making rope. I've heard of guys trying to smoke it, but they say it has no effects. I guess if the cops where smart, they would go find a patch every now and then and claim they made a big, million-dollar bust.

Back about 20 years ago something like this happened near Junction City, Kentucky. The field was owned by the mother of one of my friends. She had agreed to let his uncle (her brother?) farm the field, and he in turn had rented it out to a third party. The state police flew over in a helicopter, and noticed about 10,000 marijuana plants growing in a block in the middle of a corn field. Somehow, they never were able to determine who was responsible, and no charges were ever filed!! (My friend's mother was the County Clerk of Court, and was politically connected....)

Over $4 million in marijuana was seized by law enforcement officials Aug. 26

Must have been one hell of a party at the sheriff's office that night.
