Mexican drug gang is caught with a cannon that fired weed packets into the United States.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Mexican police have apparently captured a "weed cannon" that drug gangs used to fire 30 pound packets of marijuana across American border fences. The makeshift device was placed in the back of a flatbed truck and ferreted around.

It's not clear if there are more such cannons at large.

Mexico's drug cartels are no stranger to DIY engineering. The Zetas, for instance, used kidnapped telecom workers to build their very own communications network to evade the prying ears of Mexican officials.
