Step 1. Don pro-masks
Step 2. Light pot field ablaze
Step 3. Walk up to the Taliban offer them MRE brownies, then flex cuff them
Step 4. Compensate the "farmer" with tobacco seed.


edit: a "damn you autocorrect" fix... Really, "MRE" wasn't in the autocorrect dictionary? :roll:

Back in the day I had an incendiary device that destroyed tons of pot. You had to constantly change the water in it though, or the pipe stem would get clogged up.
LMFAO..... Yeah I think I ran a few of this patrols myself. :lol: 8)
