A cannon used to hurl marijuana over the border from Mexico to the US has been seized by police.

that's pretty creative.
You know, from a guy who loves the concept of pneumatic cannons, that's a pretty awesome design.

I can imagine the kind of face you make when patrolling the border and you suddenly see packages getting launched over.

Oh, but if a politician had SAID this was happening, they'd become a laughing stock.
This was also in the news a few months ago.
Feel free to fire in my direction, officers.
The dealers are really desperate to get the stuff sold, huh?

There's money to be made, so why not.
I'm willing to bet if these drug dealers couldn't sell their drugs, they'd be living in incredibly bad conditions.
Looks like a potato gun to me, Just pressurized to the max.
I think I have found a use for my spud gun other than "High velocity cricket" or my personal favorite "Death squash"

Fires cricket balls at about 500KM/h
ultimate irony would be to shoot stoners with pounds of weed with that cannon

na theyd just be doing other crime instead, they probably do anyway most of the gangs have tonnes of money making ventures
i want one
They will always find new ways to do that stuff.
they have tried going around the borders in boats, going under ground in mines and in the air in planes, catapults or cannons!
I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to build a teleporter into USA just to transport Drugs!
I'd let them keep it because honestly that is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
Next up: crafty Mexican drug cartels launch a weed space station to orbital-bomb Earth with drugs.
Never thought the cartels would be so brazen as to start taking potshots across the border.

probably why you aren't running the DEA
So they send the weed sky high in their quest to get others high (and earn big $$$)
This is how I want IKEA furniture sent to me when I move out. Piece by piece.

This isn't late, and this story hasn't been told before
The last story about this was that the WEED had been seized, not the cannon

This was able to shoot a bike peg through both sides of my shed and I still haven't found it. The last shot had about ~220 psi, and it broke the elbows and cracked the barrel.

I would have made one like that, but over here in Aus it is extremely illegal to have one.
One of the groups in my game design course is doing a game about getting mexicans through the border, sent them this for inspiration :v:

Oh it's very illegal here, but I live in a town that is unincorporated so I'm usually safe.
Fired one in boyscouts once. Aimed for the light posts across the parking lot and fired spuds, apples, and rutabegas.
Shit was so fun.
this reminds me of that one mythbusters episode with the myth about launching actual people over the border
