Wow. The fact that $4.5 billion dollars worth of marijuana alone were seized in one state speaks to the size of the business of selling drugs in our nation. Congratulations to the law enforcement in California for all of their great work. However, I have to echo the statement made by Attorney General Bill Lockyer that this proves to be a scary reality. How do we know how big of a chunk of the marijuana industry the narcs were able to disrupt in California? With that much herb on the streets it is impossible to know for sure. I understand that local growth of marijuana has exploded since 9/11 due to the tightening of border patrol. All that means is that law enforcement across the nation has to crack down on the production of all illegal drugs (not just marijuana). We should be reading stories like this happening in states all across the union. In my experience illegal drugs have not lead to anything positive, and I would like to see this trend of cracking down continue.
