Have you heard?! Apparently a 22 acre pot farm  worth over 15 million dollars was discovered on U.S. Forest Service land burned during the Waldo Canyon Fire! And you can bet they weren't for medicinal purposes.... 

According to the story on KOAA's website, a Forest Service spokesman confirmed this afternoon that a marijuana growing operation was found in the burn area by a helicopter pilot who was attempting to put out the blaze. Around 7,500 plants were found, many of them suffering damage from the fire.

The plants have been disposed of and no arrests have been made.
