Stanislaus River Canyon Wastes Potential Tax Revenue
October 9th, 2008 by Perry
Yesterday, law enforcement in Sonora “eradicated” 3,090 marijuana plants.
The plants were valued at $2,500 each, and that this year, they’ve already destroyed 113,113 plants. To put it in perspective, if that were taxable income for somebody, it might have put $2,262,280 put in the government coffers for improving the city.
Teacher, What’s That Funny Smell?
September 24th, 2008 by Perry
Fourth grade teach busted for slangin’ buds, what is the world coming to? I honestly don’t understand why people take the risks in states like Florida, where MMJ has been allowed.
Also probably not the greatest picture of Wildalynn Harris, I’m sure. She looks like she was interrupted in the middle of a session. Pass the dutchie on the left, please.
Cocaine Seizure at Sea Makes History
April 25th, 2007 by Tim
The day of and the days leading up to 4/20 typically create their own bounty of both pro and anti-marijuana press. This weekend was, however, a definite change of pace.
Cocaine news flooded the airwaves when the largest bust in maritime history was discovered.
Off the shores of Panama, the Coast Guard discovered about ~30,000 pounds of cocaine heading north on a 330-foot ship. When officers boarded the ship, they discovered the shipments hidden in two containers. This bust alone had a street value close to $450 million.
Earlier in the month, two other sea-based busts took place. One where a Coast Guard cutter chased down a speedboat with 2,000 pounds worth of yeyo. Another when 900 pounds of coke was found on an Ecuadorian fishing vessel. They were caught trying to offload the goods onto speedboats off the coast of Mexico.
Overall, a bad weekend for Tony Montana and crew.
