Yes, that’s right, a portable weed cannon.

Can we just admit the drug war has failed, like pets.com or so many other bad ideas?

Us stopping weed from coming over the border is like stopping the Wehrmacht from hopping the border into France: it’s too big a border to defend against asymmetrically-effective technology. And here’s the thing: (most of) France didn’t want the Wehrmacht to make it to Paris, the same can’t be said of American drug demand.
