Best. Cave. Ever.
No not the cave of swallows. The so-called "pot cave."
You may remember a couple years back, this dude in Tennessee got busted for growing a shitload of pot in natural cave under his house. Basically, the guy grew something like 100 pounds of pot every couple months via his elaborate underground operation. Slideshow here, graphic here.
The guy is in prison now. And his pot cave has been sold, to what some might consider an unusual buyer -- here's the AP story:
A home built above a large cave that once housed a sophisticated underground marijuana operation may have a delicious — and legal — future.
Authorities seized the home in 2005 after finding more than 850 marijuana plants growing under lights in two secured, 100-yard-long underground rooms connected to the home.
"Everything was just perfect. Look at the craftsmanship," auctioneer Pete Scruggs said of the marijuana operation in the natural cave about 45 miles northeast of Nashville.
Roth Kase USA Ltd., a Wisconsin-based maker of European-style cheeses, won a court-ordered auction of the property Saturday with a bid of $285,000. The company's auction representative, Chuck Olson, hinted about the future of the cave after he was named the winner.
He said the plan is to "make money," and the cave's new operation will be legal "in a tasty way." Caves, with their consistent cool temperatures and humidity, have long been used to age cheeses.
Hilarious and informative. So this cave was used to grow copious amounts of ganja, and now its gonna hold cheese. European-style cheese at that.
Also, this story is retarded. I'd like to point out that the plan is to "make money." Also the guy who comments on the craftsmanship of the pot cave. Nothin' but the best!
