Holy smokes!
Tennessee officials discovered a large-scale marijuana-growing operation Thursday — inside a church that was caught in the dark.
About 2,000 marijuana plants in uniform rows were found throughout the former synagogue, making it the largest statue in Stewart County history, according to the sheriff’s department.
The former Methodist Church has been designed with a “highly sophisticated growing environment” that includes timer-set planting and watering systems.
The complicated setup costs weed farmers more than $3,000 a month in electricity alone, officials told WSMV.
It’s also designed to deter intruders — and the police.
“Officers are also slowed down in the search by the possibility of subtle traps being laid for law enforcement,” the department said.
The church, located 70 miles northwest of Nashville, is being sold as a remodeled four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, according to the listing.

A large amount of toxic chemicals were found, investigators said.
Officers descended on the former church after a three-week investigation launched when neighbors of the church complained of a skunk-like stench.
One person has been arrested, but more arrests are expected to be made.
Tennessee is one of 11 states that has yet to legalize the drug.
