(updated) Harold and Kumar go to Afghanistan!News
First they went to White Castle, because they had some prodigious munchies. Then they went to Amsterdam, for love and to get more of the stuff that gives them the munchies. Now they’re going to the source. Chasing a rumor, a legend of whole forests of marijuana over ten feet tall … that’s right, in their third movie, Harold and Kumar are going to Afghanistan for yet more hillarious hijinks! [Hat tip to BearLeft for the story]
It seems that Harold and Kumar are the Canadian government’s newest weapons in “The War on Terror”:

Duuuuude. Forests of 10 foot pot? |
Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy — almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall… General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover…“We tried burning them with white phosphorous — it didn’t work. We tried burning them with diesel — it didn’t work. [Link]
Clearly the best thing to do, when the Taliban are hiding, is to smoke them out 
. However, should our intrepid duo fail to finish the task, the Canadian government does have other options.
They could call upon our bredren in Vancouver to come and collect the goods, package them, and even ship them to the US for (ahem) proper disposal. You wouldn’t even have to provide them with extra security.

Lost in the weed(s) |
Or, they could simply wait until Holi and offer it to armies of aunties at half price (desis will drive for hours to get a good deal). That forest of pot will become a mountain of bhang pakoras in seconds flat. If the Taliban try to stop them, well woe to anybody who stands between aunties and a sale …
UPDATE:
It looks like this may be regular hemp, the type grown for its fiber and as livestock feed:
In 2003 working for the UN in the South-East we encountered two types of marijuana plant production. The first was grown for ‘export’ as part of the drug trade and is a smaller plant with long head which contains a concentration of THC - the active substance in marijuana. The second and most common was the marijuana forest which is grown for its hemp and for feeding cattle. From the photos and description I believe it is this latter type that the troops encountered. Burning or otherwise destroying it would require some fore-thought as it probably is part of some poor farmer’s livelihood. [Link]

This might be my favorite SM post ever.
Send Cheech and Chong over. I think they could pass for Afghans more than clean saven H & K.

This is in such bad taste it might even be brilliant.
