3 held after pot cache seized at secret airstrip
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/mexico/tijuana/20040317-9...
By Anna Cearley
March 17, 2004
TIJUANA ? Federal agents detained three people and confiscated 1,724 pounds of marijuana shortly after a small plane landed on a hidden airstrip south
of Ensenada, authorities said.
The Cessna was detected by radar as it approached the San Quint?n Valley. Agents with Mexico's Federal Agency of Investigations arrived at the site
soon after the plane landed Friday morning and arrested three suspects: Adri?n Javier Ram?rez, Levit Serrano V?zquez and Juan Pablo Fr?as.
Authorities described the landing area as a rural zone about three hours south of Ensenada. Apparently the drugs already had been unloaded from the
plane and were found in an old Ford pickup. They were in 470 packets, covered in plastic tape.
Baja California's top federal prosecutor said Monday that he didn't know which drug trafficking group was responsible for the shipment.
The Arellano F?lix cartel is the primary drug trafficking group in Baja California, but it has been weakened by the arrests and deaths of its top
leaders. Other cartels have been muscling onto the Arellanos' turf in recent years.
"All we know is simply that an important quantity of drugs was confiscated," said Antonio Mendoza Ch?vez, who recently was named to head the Baja
California division of the Federal Attorney General's Office.
Over the past year, federal agents have confiscated drugs linked to at least two other planes that landed on secret airstrips on the outskirts of
Mexicali, but no immediate arrests were made in those cases.

Most definitely NOT one of the cartels. They pay for protection.

Mike, I believe you should redirect your anger toward those truly responsible:
AMERICANS who use illegal drugs.
The smugglers are simply servicing their clients and without the demand, would be out of business.

600 kilos of pot, and they where using an airplane, my sources say its a rather small plane, because the big boys use mainly modified Airkings to
bring their load up.
600 kilos of pot is nothing, any small to medium dealer moves that every 15 days.

Moving the goods
They also truck it to the border region, and have different ways to get it across including tunnels built under the border fence. I have a friend with
family in the Rio Grande Valley, who once identified all of his relatives involved in getting drugs across the border. Dave is right when he says that
the blame lies with the demand.

Pot
Legalize and regulate it, take it out of the hands of the criminals.
Set up treatment and educational programs throughout the USA and Mexico.
Come up with a cash crop for the farmers who harvest the coca and subsidize them.
Revise and impose stiff penalities for smugglars and dealers of heroin, cocaine and meth.
Anyways, the "best quality" grass is coming in from Canada, not Mexico.
This little bit of grass was nothing, and keep in mind it's right before elections, the streets get cleaned, a new face of paint on everything, and a
few small time busts, typical.

Boats and pot
Several years ago a friend was hiking the costal bluffs close to the beach around Punta Blanca on the pacific and stumbled upon 2 kilos of pot wrapped
in plastic, a jacket and a machine gun with a bullet jammed in the ejection port 
.....We don't know what went down...but probably not good for someone. Looks like someone was guarding the pot, something made him try to shoot the
gun, which jammed, he ran off, dropped the gun, continued running, threw off off his jacket, and ran off into the desert....
Once my friend stopped his heart from racing and determined that the stuff had been there for at least a while, based on the small fuzz of rust on the
gun...he decided the best corse of action was to bury everything, which he did.

DOPE
ANY ONE CAUGHT USING DOPE TO BE DEPORTED TO A LARGE PRIVATELY RUN JAIL IN IRAG
SHUTDOWN ALL DRUG RELATED CLINICS
SEND ALL ADDICTS BACK TO THEIR PARENTS
FIRE AND DEPORT ALL COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL CAUGHT USING DRUGS
DEPORT ALL PARENTS WHO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN DRUGS, TO ABOVE JAILS
Several years ago 2 Pangas approaching the coast Line above San Nicolas were "Blown out of the Water for Firing back at the helicopter trying to stop
them from hauling DOPE across from the Mainland"
"No Quarter for the Hauler/Seller" put them away for Life."It is Cheaper in the Long run.

Shooting them on sight would be cheaper.
Draconian measures work IF they are uniformly enforced. That's how China solved its opium problem.

Sounds a little suspisious on the amount, 1700 pounds of cargo would put a small aircraft over weigth unless it only carriered a couple gallons of
fuel. Sounds to me, some officiels are pumping...

Drug Addiction
The issue of addiction is hardly black and white, and there are no simple solutions, such as shooting someone or sending them back to their parents if
they are addicts.
Drug addiction is an illness, like alcoholism.
Perhaps before making hasty judgements, it would behoove all of us to study the reasons behind the addictive personality and the schools of thought
regarding treatment and rehabilitation.
Here are some basic ideologies to get you started:

2:There are plenty of Cessnas that will haul 1700# of anything.
3:who is gonna pay the poppy farmers?
Let me guess,---- the U.S. taxpayer?
4; Hate Rush ,using legal drugs, not imports.

More information For Gull
First, let me say, I do not smoke grass.
But the fact of the matter is, that Canada distributes the best quality of maijuana. Canada is the major source of highly potent hydroponic
marijuana.
Everybody knows this, from users who stick up their noses to Mexican grass to Law Enforcement.
Rather than use private sources, here are a couple of references for you, you can
findmore on the net:

Talk about changing the Subject!
Does the Govt. Tell each one whether or not to Smoke dope?
There is an old saying""Our on Free wil and Accord".
Using Using Drugs for Pleasure ,Boose, Pot, Crank shows a "Weakness in Character!
Illness claims are B--S---{Just another Excuse for not facing Reality} Getting off of you Duff and "Accepting the Responsibility of your own Acts.
"As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly Life.... 2 Peter 1:3
Wake Up!! to a beautiful Sunrise,to a Friend in Need,Go forth with a Song in your Heart!
