3.9 TONS of Marijuana Confiscated by Texas State Troopers Valued at $3.4M
4/4/13 Texas  A routine traffic stop this week quickly turned into a major drug bust for Texas Highway Patrol troopers, who seized 3.9 tons of marijuana from a tanker rig. (first pic) The weed -- valued at more than $3.4 million -- was concealed inside a tanker truck, NBC News reports. Officers pulled the driver over northeast of Corpus Christi for a commercial vehicle inspection Tuesday and discovered the stash. SOURCE & MORE INFO But this isn't the biggest drug bust of the year in the Southwest. In January officials seized almost 7 tons of marijuana on the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, according to the Arizona Daily Star. (second pic)  ·  · |

Complete and utter waste of time and tax dollars. Meanwhile the pharma cartel pushes BILLIONS of pills that will consequently kill 100s of thousands of our citizens this year alone.

"In 2007, approximately 27,000 unintentional drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States, one death every 19 minutes" according to the CDC... Prescription painkillers "Kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined....more than 40 people die every day from overdoses involving narcotic pain relievers like hydrocodone (Vicodin), methadone, oxycodone (OxyContin), and oxymorphone (Opana)." the CDC says..... but we're still worried about marijuana  |

I don't know why y'all are complaining, it can't be great weed packed like that. The more they sieze, it promotes smaller local grow houses. Although the war on drugs at large is pathetic.

Re: 3.9 TONS of Marijuana Confiscated by Texas State Troopers Valued at $3.4M
it's the media promoting the 'war on drugs' when there are more people dying from prescription drugs that pisses me off, personally.  " In 2010, 1 in every 20 people in the United States age 12 and older—a total of 12 million people—reported using prescription painkillers nonmedically according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health" the CDC said... that's a lot of synthetic heroin |
