Drug catapult found at U.S.-Mexico border
CBS NewsBorder Patrol agents in southern Arizona say they’ve seized two bundles of marijuana that were catapulted across the border from Mexico.
While patrolling an area east of the Douglas Port of Entry last Friday, agents noticed several people running from the border fence as they approached.
Federal authorities say in recent years, smugglers have thrown drug bundles over the border or shot them over with devices such as air-powered cannons and catapults.
Smugglers also have placed vehicle ramps next to the border fence or wall and used ultralight aircraft to drop shipments in the desert.

Why do I need my pot catapulted in from Mexico when I can go down to one of a hundred dispensaries within ten miles of me and get as much as I need of whatever strain I want?
Oh yeah, it's because only a few states were smart enough to legalize pot and Arizona wasn't one of them.
