Bears guard marijuana grow op in BC

Guard bears story. That’s, uh, a bit strange, but I guess if you don’t want anyone messing with your pot plants, having bears all around the grow op probably works. It might be unfortunate for the bears, though, if they have to be killed because they’re too habituated to humans.

I so hope they were eating the plants. The idea of a bunch of extremely stoned bears protecting anything just cracks me up.

“Grrrr, get away from thos-Hey, is that a pic-a-nic basket?”

We do things differently in BC.

But seriously, I grew up going to Christina Lake every summer to stay at the Walkers’ place and go swimming and have fires and jump off the dock and stuff. It’s a treasured memory. Now it’s infused with pot-guarding bears overlaying innocent childhood. It’s odd.

Keep those youth groups away. A stoned bear will get the munchies and want to snack on a Brownie or two.

This completely changes my understanding of Yogi Bear.

From the OP link:
“Basically, her home is their home,” he said. “The rumours are that (the bears) come in and lounge on her couch and watch TV and they’re part of the family.”

It’s like some parallel universe Goldilocks.

Instead of a ‘pic-a-nic’ basket, he has a Buddha sack?

I didn’t get that they were talking about guard bears when they talked about this on Headline News this morning. What I caught was that they were talking about unusually mellow bears hanging out where they found the pot plants. They also said they found a raccoon in a shack laying on its back spreadeagled. No word on whether the raccoon in question was ‘chillaxing.’

You know how when you’re a young adult, you usually have one house where everyone just hangs out and drinks and smokes and eats pizza? I’m picturing this house like that, except with wild forest animals.

Am I the only one that thought an offensive lineman for the Chicago Bears was caught growing marijuana?

His new little buddy is “Dooboo.”

And mine of Smokey.

I suppose it’s only a matter of time…

… and Yellowstoned.

Only you can prevent florist fires.

That’s odd. It only reinforces mine.

Yes, but than I realized that they can’t even protect the QB much less a cash crop.

I think it’s because the regular season is fast approaching

And one of the other top stories is about a smokey haze over Alberta. So we’ve got smoky haze and hazy Smoky.

Has Steven Colbert been informed?

There’s some good jokes here but I don’t think anything can match the visual in my head of a bunch of stoned bears, raccoons and other woodland creatures.

You know, with that much smoke coming here from all of BC being on fire, you’d think we’d all be in a better mood. Come to think of it, I have been pretty hungry lately. :smiley:
