It's Pot Season

[HGB]

More than 4,000 pounds of pot seized near the border
Tuesday, October 24, 2006
U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized more than a ton of marijuana October 23rd and 24th. They estimate the street value at more than $3.5 million. The pot was loaded into three SUV's, which were stashed beneath some brush off the main road on the Tohono O'ohdam Indian Reservation. The drugs and vehicles will be turned over to the DEA for further investigation.

Jesus Rodriguez with the Border Patrol says it is not unusual to find large amounts of marijuana this time of year. He says pot growers are now harvesting their fall crops and trying to sneak them across the border.

((ROFLMAO)) Where I live the best weed on the street is sold by our cops after being "confiscated". It's been in the paper a few times... supposedly they found oh say 200 pounds, but strangely only 150 of it made it to the evidence room.

Where I live the last big shipment was found in a UPS Truck. It sucked the price of weed went up about $100 an ounce that was if you could even find eny. Thats when I started growing a Propetuel Harvest for the secent time. Last time i had to stop as the people next store told the poleice that they suspected I was a drug dealer since I had people driving to my house at 2 or 3am. I was not selling drugs. Thow I was growing so when some one else told use that the police where asking about my famale so to be safe we got rid of of all the weed and cleand every thang. Nothing ever came of it but better safe to do that then to be in jail!

[cyberquest]

this summer in north canton ohio there where 55 gallon trashbags littering the median on route 8. a state highway patrol man looked into one of the bags and it was stuffed with buds.
i think the last count was 45 trashbags of buds.

 

[Droster]

Man I wish I found stuff like that night. Also an once for $100 is cheap as hell!

They stashed 3 Black SUV's? and expected them not to get found? Oh well.

All of you saying "wow 100 an ounce?" i don't mean to make fun but hello, they were saying the price went up 100, not up TO 100.

[Delloman]

ya we pay 300 for good stuff it was 400 at the time

 

[BushyKush420]

they could have made those trucks obivous so they would get busted while the 3 semi trucks went through with no suspicion... each of those semi's having newhere from 50,000 lbs to 100,000 lbs? wouldnt that be a better strategy... lol just thinking...lol

well time to play poker gpotta go//

it's called paying dues. The drug cartels need to sacrifice a pig to the political deities to ensure a future. It's pretty much just showing the masses the war on drugs is working. While they sacrifice a few pounds of ditch weed they probably snuck 100 million dollars worth of Coke into the U.S. Makes a few headlines and makes the tax payers feel good.
