A soldier stands in front of a cloud of smoke from burning marijuana on an illegal plantation at the Sierra de Juarez, in Tecate, northern Mexico, Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010. Authorities found three illegal plantations of marijuana on Sept. 20 during air patrol operations.

Second hand smoke in Mexico

I wonder how often it happens that soldiers are affected by the materials they burn.

      The soldier is completely Stoned! He is standing right in the middle of the smoke. Notice how his arms are extended and his knees are bent. He thinks he is floating.
