Now I don't know but I been told
it's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I heard it said
it's just as hard with the weight of lead

I was surfing the boob tube last night and by coincidence I flipped to a channel(maybe TLC or or Discovery) and they were doing a segment on how secure and well protected our(USA) borders , national monuments, and other specific areas are.

They spoke about Fort Knox for a bit and it was stated that either through myth or reality, it is among one of the most protected places in this country.

All that for a worthless yellow metal that is only good for jewelry, dental and some industrial applications?

What did make me chuckle a few hours later was a special on I think National Geographic 'Explorer'.
They were up in Canada doing a special on medical cannabis.

I can't recall the name it was given(named after some guy that did the push towards medical pot) but it was a garden buried some 10 miles into a mine.
It carried a level 7 security clearance. According to them, this is way beyond any security level we have in the states... for anything!

UFB! One country is guarding pot more than another country is guarding their gold!

Of course, from what I understand, the ultra kind bud is selling on the black market for upwards of $400/ounce! This is more than the POG!

Conclusion?

Hell, I don't know, but there is something to be said about a civilization that prices an herb higher than the POG.
Must be one hell of a difficult thing to grow.
