For Weed from Outer Space, Go to Arizona

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -

A Scottsdale-based pot dispensary is going higher than anyone has ever gone before. At least their product is.

A Scottsdale-based company, Herban Planet, along with the British company, Sent Into Space, launched a pound of weed 19 miles up.

They launched it in a weather balloon from Casa Grande and it spent about 35 minutes in space before it came back down in Superior.

In honor of its journey, Herban Planet is calling the "Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies" strain "Space Weed Bro."

AZFamily:  Scottsdale weed that's out of this world

Zen Yogi:  see, that launch to near-space exposes the weed to extraordinary levels of cosmic rays which excite the electrons of the THC molecules in the weed and that imparts a high energy buzz no-one has ever experienced previously

You know, Yogi, maybe stonin' and commentin' at the same time isn't your best idea?

Zen Yogi:  from where I'm sitting, Silas, it looks like a sensational idea

Maybe there's one more piece you need to know, bear buddy.

It will go on sale at the Level Up pot dispensary in Scottsdale for 100 dollars a gram.

Zen Yogi:  there's no way in hell, Silas!  I never paid more than $25 a gram for my weed no matter where I got it

I thought your perspective might change a little, bear buddy.

Zen Yogi:  I think I'll stay with my $25 weed but shoot Jeff Sessions into space ... and leave him there

Now that plan will work with just about everyone, Yogi.

Zen Yogi:  Jeff Sessions probably won't like too much finding suddenly he's Major Tom

That's likely true, Yogi, but are you telling me that matters?
