SACRAMENTO — State and federal drug enforcement officials say they have pulled more than 5 million marijuana plants from public and private land this year, a record amount.

 

The state Department of Justice, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies announced Wednesday that they have seized 5.2 million marijuana plants. Most of those were on public land.

 

John Gaines, chief of California's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, says more than half the nation's domestically produced marijuana is grown in California.

 

State and federal agencies participating in the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting and Operation Green Acres 2 also made 143 arrests and seized 142 weapons.

 

The marijuana cultivation season generally runs from July through October.

Hopefully they missed at least 10 million plants.

I wonder how many million doughnuts it took to get 5 million plants?

I bet 90% or more is actually hemp. They call it ditchweed over there and the DEA doesnt distinguish between hemp and the sweetest stinkiest resin filled hydro.

 

of course theres no need for them to let minor details like that get in the way of a good story=further funding....

 

 

makes me sick

I was about to say the same thing.

They cannot get rid of it in America... Their ditchweeds were from crappy old hemp strains...

 

Over here we should make our own high-class ditchweeds, ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE.

Let's make sure ours is THE GOOD STUFF, before the low THC strains escapees dominate...
