No arrests have been made? The authorities didn't stakeout this area in hopes of ensnaring the offenders BEFORE they began removing all the cannabis plants? Good work, Keystone Cops!

the Obion County authorities probably planted it them selves and reported the find with no arrest to make them look good.

So, while our country is struggling for a solution to our national debt problem, our taxes are paying people to destroy millions of dollars worth of plants. . . We have a black president, gay couples can marry and adopt children, yet we still refuse to legalize stupid pot? Goverment control and distribution of this crop wouldn't fix things, but it would probably help out a hell of a lot more than expected.
