YUMA, Ariz. (AP) _ U.S. Border Patrol agents say smugglers have come up with yet another creative way to get drugs in the country, a cannon.

Authorities say 33 cans of marijuana were spotted Friday in a field near where the Colorado River crosses the U.S.-Mexico border. They believe the cans were launched about 500 feet into the U.S. using a pneumatic-powered cannon.

After searching the area, agents recovered a carbon dioxide tank.

Mexican authorities were also notified and searched their side of the border.

The 85 pounds of marijuana found in the cans had an estimated value of $42,500.

Authorities say Border Patrol agents in the Yuma sector near the Arizona-California border are adapting and shifting resources as smugglers come up with new ways of transporting their contraband.

Great, they just need this to happen in WA. Here's an article about Seattle:


Growing and selling marijuana will still be prosecuted as a felony, King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg told CNN.

"So I'm not sure where you're supposed to get it," Satterberg said. "If you stumble across some on the street or it falls from the sky, then you can have it . Otherwise, you are part of a criminal chain of distribution."

"What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

great...soon it will be a felony to launch more than 2 ounces of pot via an aerial delivery system.

That would effectively criminalize the skydiving industry.
