Navy destroys 50 thousand plants of marijuana
From today's El Vigia...electronically translated
Elements of the Second Naval Region found and eradicated marijuana plants and opium poppy.
During journeys made yesterday by Marine Corps personnel of the Second Naval Region, and an air unit of the institution, was located a marijuana
plantation covering an area of two hectares, with an estimated density of 40 plants per square meter and a maximum height of 70 centimeters.
The nerve was found 20 kilometers north-northeast of the city by the Tijuana-Ensenada free road.
After the location was destroyed over 50 thousand plants of marijuana and 350 plants of the poppy unnerving.
The action is a result of the struggle that is carried out with the intention of weakening the logistics of the criminal groups engaged in illegal
drug trafficking.

Make up your minds. Do you want drugs, or not? Problem with every story like this one is that it's like spitting into the ocean as far as effect. But
they release this crap to the press to make certain people think they are accomplishing something.

Methinks they already have.
It's a new world, pot is just not what folks want as a scapegoat for the war on drugs, particularly concerning Cartel profits.
Heroin is a different story doncha think?

No. Prohibition doesn't work. Let's face it, the people who want to do heroin are doing it regardless. They know where to find it. The unfortunate
reality is that prohibition of these drugs creates a multi-billion dollar business for violent criminals. It also creates a multi billion dollar
business for law enforcement and prisons...that's why the war goes on and on. How many billions have been spent on the war on drugs?...money wasted,
obviously. Unless your paycheck comes from the DEA that is!

I don't believe that's possible. There's far too much money to be made by making it available.

Opium poppies grow in Northern Baja? Maybe we can get the US military to protect the Baja poppy crop like they do the crop in Afghanistan.

Where was the location ? Somewhere near El Tigre or La Mision?

This chit is coming into San Diego County where I LIVE. I don't like the fact that I live 16 miles from a drug producing town, and the murderous
criminal element that goes with it.
"Three caches of drugs seized at border crossings
2:00 a.m. March 31, 2009
Nearly 2,400 pounds of marijuana and methamphetamine valued at $2.2 million have been seized at the Otay Mesa and San Ysidro ports of entry in the
past week, federal officials announced yesterday.
The largest seizure occurred about 10:30 a.m. Sunday involving a commercial bus at Otay Mesa. Agents inspected the bus and found 254 packages of
marijuana, weighing more than 1,300 pounds and valued at $790,000, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said. The driver, 37, from Tijuana,
was arrested.
About seven hours later, a man driving a 2004 GMC pickup and towing a trailer tried to enter the country in San Ysidro. He was referred for further
inspection. Agents found bundles of marijuana behind the bathroom wall of the trailer, federal officials said. The pot was in 63 packages and weighed
more than 1,000 pounds. It was valued at $611,000. Agents arrested the driver, 55, of El Cajon.
Thursday, agents arrested a woman after they found 33 packages of methamphetamine in a secret compartment under the rear cargo area of the Jeep she
was driving, federal officials said. The drugs weighed 57 pounds and have a street value of almost $860,000. The woman, 30, was from Tijuana.
In all the cases, drug-sniffing dogs alerted agents to the drugs." –J.L.J.

Commentary: War on drugs is insane
By Jack Cafferty
Special to CNN
March 31, 2009
NEW YORK (CNN) -- "Here's something to think about :
How many police officers and sheriff's deputies are involved in investigating and solving crimes involving illegal drugs? And arresting and
transporting and interrogating and jailing the suspects?
How many prosecutors and their staffs spend time prosecuting drug cases? How many defense lawyers spend their time defending drug suspects?
How many hours of courtroom time are devoted to drug trials? How many judges, bailiffs, courtroom security officers, stenographers, etc., spend their
time on drug trials?
How many prison cells are filled with drug offenders? And how many corrections officers does it take to guard them? How much food do these convicts
consume?
And when they get out, how many parole and probation officers does it take to supervise their release? And how many ex-offenders turn right around and
do it again?
So how's this war on drugs going?
Someone described insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time. That's a perfect description of the war
on drugs.
The United States is the largest illegal drug market in the world. Americans want their weed, crack, cocaine, heroin, whatever. And they're willing to
pay big money to get it.
The drug suppliers are only too happy to oblige. The Mexican drug cartels now have operations in 230 American cities. That's 230 American cities!
And we're not just talking about border towns, but places such as Anchorage, Alaska; Boston, Massachusetts; Atlanta, Georgia; and Billings, Montana.
They're everywhere. And they don't just bring drugs, but violence and crime as well -- lots of it at no extra charge.
They have been able to infiltrate those 230 cities because we have not bothered to secure our borders. In addition to illegal aliens who come here to
work and avail themselves of our social programs, we have criminals from Mexico bringing drugs in, taking money and guns back, and recruiting American
kids into their criminal enterprises while they're here.
What do you suppose the total price tag is for this failed war on drugs? One senior Harvard economist estimates we spend $44 billion a year fighting
the war on drugs. He says if they were legal, governments would realize about $33 billion a year in tax revenue. Net swing of $77 billion. Could we
use that money today for something else? You bet your ass we could. Plus the cartels would be out of business. Instantly. Goodbye crime and violence.
If drugs were legalized, we could empty out a lot of our prison cells. People will use this stuff whether it's legal or not. Just like they do booze.
And you could make the argument that in some cases alcohol is just as dangerous as some drugs. I know.
Like I said ... something to think about. It's time."
