That's a Load o'Mota

Chicagoist is getting the munchies just thinking about this! On Sunday, Chicago police discovered 4,400 pounds of marijuana in a semi in East Garfield Park. Jose Vizcaya, 68, was backing the truck into a warehouse and Jose Lopez, 45, was guiding the truck when police showed up. Both men were charged with felony drug possession.

Not that Chicagoist has ever purchased marijuana, but 4,400 pounds is a fuckload of pot. Our head spins when we think about the street value of it and we wonder if the local market price will go up now.

How Stuff Works has a killer tutorial on how to grow marijuana, how it affects your body, why you get the munchies, and what causes it to be more or less potent. Also, marijuana.com has more information than you'd ever need on ze ganja, including daily news updates and information on synthetic urine to help you pass those annoying drug tests.
