Pot bust -- on the freeway

Here's the find of the week on a Southern California freeway:

Authorities found about three tons of marijuana in a rental truck abandoned on a freeway off-ramp, officials said. A California Highway Patrol officer smelled the marijuana when he approached the truck Wednesday, CHP Sgt. Telfinues Preszler Jr. said. "To my understanding, there are no suspects," Preszler said.

The Daily Bulletin says the find was made on the 10 Freeway in Ontario and that the pot was worth $20 million.

what will they do with all of the pot?

They should give all that pot to people with Alzheimer's who can't afford Aricept.

Research done recently at Scripps Institute in La Jolla showed that the active ingredients in marijuana work far better than Aricept at inhibiting the formation of beta amyloid plaques in the brain.

This country is kind of tragically slow on the uptake. All thosemillions of dollars going down the drain to eradicate an herb that halts the progression of Alzheimer's.

Tragic waste in a tragic country.
