    They may be paranoid of the cops, but I take it from the article and the years I lived in New Mexico, the grower is a lot more afraid of someone stealing it.

    New Mexico isn't really known for law enforcement, in fact a lot of the time the cops are the crooks and the Homeland Security checkpoints are really just a big rest area looking things and not hard to avoid.

    What would scare me and from all of the security in the article, I'd say what scares them is a small army, coming to take it away.

    (Oh, and NM was actually pretty cool about legalizing medicinal; Bill Richardson was in favor, the previous Governor favored total legalization and when the law passed without any licensed sources, the state said until things work out, patients could grow their own)

    @PaisleyPajamas: Google says to take I-10 to Las Cruces, where it merges with I-25 north and that'll take you right up into Santa Fe.

    But hell, if you can just hop over the border in Hobbes or Clovis, they can come to you -- the Homeland Security check points are clustered around Las Cruces, so I'm sure Sketch McGee can make you a delivery, no problem.

    @howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): No one in law enforcement in or around Las Cruces could find their own asshole with a flashlight when I lived there. Everyone in the city drives around drinking all day; when they do their DUI checkpoints, they announce the time and location in advance. You can probably find the guy at the freaking farmers market on Saturday morning in Cruces.

    Testee 1: "No."
    Testee 3: "No."
    Testee 2: "I don't know, maybe if you asked, possibly..."

    I love how they're all casually leaning on the railings and watching, as if they were at a mall concert. That must be the highlight of working there actually. They probably mark those demo days on their calendar.

    My friend works there and was tasered that day. She isn't in the video though. Still has a massive bruise from it. From what I've heard, the women handle it much better than the men.

    Come on, the Taser-hit man who burst into flames had to be a zombie, right? And isn't a Taser much more convenient than a flamethrower for zombie-defense?
