It's been a few years since we've heard reports of marijuana hiding in plain sight among the city's more boring plants, but we're stoked to report that somewhere in the Bronx grows at least one tiny crop of cannabis, looking quite at home among some moss and a brick and a vine thing.
The exact location of the ganja is unknown, which is just fine by us, as the only known predator of pot plants are potheads. Just as sharks struggle to see certain patterns in the water, cop eyes are not designed to see pot—as long as it doesn't decide to dress up like a tomato plant, this little guy should be just fine.
