Anyone got the munchies?

Well, if people ever get tired of Thin Mints or Peanut Butter
Patties, a "Mary Jane" could always invigorate the brand, the
growing kind, not the candy favorite, that is. Authorities in July
discovered thousands of marijuana plants in various stages of growth at
a Girl Scout camp in Warsaw, Ind., but it wasn't the work of the
local affiliate of the century-old nonprofit.
State troopers in an airplane noticed the more than 5,000 plants in
a remote, swampy area of the 220-acre camp, according to reports, which
Scout officials said is accessible only by wading through muck or by
canoe.
Some of the plants were on property owned by an adjacent neighbor
who was unaware of the marijuana but most were found on the Girl Scout
property. Camp Ella J. Logan is about 45 miles west of Fort Wayne, where
the Limberlost Girl Scout Council is based.
Police arrested two adults and one juvenile not associated with the
organization.
