Soccer Club Grows Grass With Marijuana Lights-And More Morning Links

Rochdale AFC, a soccer club in England’s third division, is using lights confiscated by police in marijuana raids to grow grass for their soccer field. According to our friends over at Extra Mustard Oli Makin, who is the head groundskeeper at Rochdale’s stadium, fastened the lamps to old goalposts so he could move them around on the field to focus on areas in need of a touch-up. I see nothing wrong with it – in fact I think Mr. Makin should get a raise for his MacGyver-esque decision.
