Marijuana: Fires' timing could devastate crops, locals say...CAVE JUNCTION -- Flames are consuming a bit more than towering trees and the occasional cabin as two wildfires roar through the Siskiyou National Forest. At least some of the vegetation that has made Southwest Oregon famous -- and long ago took a generation of hippie kids off welfare -- also is going up in smoke. Which leads to the question: "Am I Eligible For Disaster Assistance? How Do I Apply?" Friends, FEMA is there for you.

No, it's a joke. Hollywood is too commercialized so Cheech & Chong moved their location for this flic, Up in Smoke II, north. Also overheard the greeting that says out-of towner for sure: Hi folks, which way is the wind blowing today, dude?

Ps, Bigfoot says don't worry he has a bowl or two to share. Dubee dubee do.
