bird-behind-barsDrug laws seem to constantly push narcotics traffickers to new heights of creativity. The latest example is the use of pigeons as marijuana carriers.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, a small-time group of dope dealers trained two white doves to carry pot from a safehouse where they were growing the stuff to a building where they were selling it to distributors. Argentine police busted the group earlier this week and confiscated their pigeons.

Pigeons have been used to deliver messages for centuries.
