Spreading grape jelly on a PB&J can be a great way to staunch a vicious case of the munchies, but jelly grapes also seem to come in handy when trying to discreetly cultivate the impetus of those munchies.That's apparently what's been happening in the Pacific Northwest, where officials have found large-scale marijuana growing operations hidden amongst vineyards that sell to some of the biggest food companies in the country. In fact, over the last two months, more than 200,000 marijuana plants -- worth an estimated $165 million in street value -- have been seized by authorities in Washington's Yakima Valley.
Among the busted vineyards are farms that are under contract to Welch's Food Inc., the National Grape Cooperative Inc. and General Mills' J.M. Smucker Co. Officials say that most of the vineyards' owners aren't even aware of the cheeba sprouting in their backyards -- the grow operations seem to be the work of Mexican drug cartels and the migrant immigrants who cultivate the fruit.
Honestly, we think Smuckers should just run with this and make Snoop Dogg their new spokesman.

It's a shame that we have to blame this on the imigrants. We need to investigate this to the end. Money can not always win. It's time for us to take responsability for our own acts and mistakes. Let's be the AMERICANS we once were.
Please investigate the owners and their bank accounts and we might get the answers we are seeking for.
