$8M Worth of Pot Plants Seized in Humboldt County - GoFuckYourself.com

DateDoc · 08-27-2010, 04:39 PM

Authorities in Humboldt County said they seized $8 million worth of marijuana plants after a secret cultivation area was discovered on the Santa Rosa Range, near Orovada.

Undersheriff Curtiss Kull said investigators were tipped to the marijuana grow site on Monday after a Reno man reported he and his son were prevented from further hunting on the isolated west range by three men. Authorities? suspicions were raised that the men could have been involved in an illegal marijuana grow.

Officials said marijuana growers have become increasingly more violent and confrontational in an effort to protect their crops.

So, the sheriff?s office coordinated a team of regional law enforcement to help them search the area, Kull said. The Washoe County Sheriff?s helicopter, RAVEN, located a covered camp near where the family was confronted.

Friday, the total count of plants seized were 4,020, Kull said.

No arrests have been made.

I thought it sounded pretty cheap compared to how they used to calculate "street value." Especially these days.

I'm shocked--shocked--that people are growing marijuana in Humboldt County.

You can get some outdoor plants to reach 2lbs each in buds, but thats probably not what they had
They probably calculate the value based on price per OZ

probably calculate price by the gram, and weigh the entire plant, bud, leaf, stalk, root, and dirt hanging from it judging by a lot of the "street value" estimates i've seen them pull out of their asses...

More bullshit propaganda. Cops focus on marijuana grows because they are easy targets, they are to fucking scared to go bust meth labs.

Whens the last time you heard about a marijuana grower being violent when the cops showed up? Yea some of these cartels might setup boobytraps but I think thats even rare. Anything law enforcement says about growers or marijuana in general is propaganda in order to justify their own existence.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
