Weed-friendly grandma runs pot farm in Swaziland

8/16/2012

A pot-friendly grandma in Swaziland has taken out a bit of "green" insurance to make sure her 11 orphaned grandkids are properly fed and clothed. Khathazile, an elderly peasant in rural Swaziland, has been running a dope farm in hills full of the coveted "Swazi Gold." The 70-year-old woman says she started growing marijuana after all of the other crops she tried failed, largely due to baboons stealing them (The primates are apparently aren't into getting stoned). Khathazile is apparently just one of many folks in the region who make a living by growing weed. [Source]
