Mexico Scorches 13-Square-Mile Marijuana Plantation
NTD ^ | June 17, 2019 | Victor Westerkamp

Mexican Federal police have discovered an enormous marijuana plantation just south of San Diego, 6 miles over the Mexican border in the state and El Centro, and set it on fire.

Border Patrol officials out of San Diego, California, estimated the 70,000 pounds had a street value of $277 million and they believe they were produced to flood the U.S. market, Customs and Border Protection said in a statement issued late Friday.

And only six miles from the border, too.

Seems like the border is the only part of America NOT under surveillance.

...
My life seems to slow down
The further I go
Into the bare heart
Of old Mexico
Still I keep searching for someone
Who once let me in
But somehow I lost him
To the Mexican wind.

if your normal place to take a dump is the streets of LA, you’re probably not a high-end customer

Seizures at the border would be a better indicator than one failed crop that didn’t get here.

Recreational pot not legal in 39 states.

Some of the legal states are taxing pot so heavily that the black market growers (American and Mexican) can easily compete.

“Who would bother with Mexican pot?”

People who shop at the Dollar Store.

13 acres sounds more like 180,000,000,000 dollars worth of crops.

With all those zeroes, you're starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch.

(I couldn't find the video on Youtube, so I subbed the song that was inspired by it.)

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
Turn the switch and check the number
Leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the dj
Can’t understand just what does he say?
I’m on a mexican radio
I’m on a mexican radio
I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the u.s. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende—it’s a riddle
I’m on a mexican radio
I’m on a mexican radio
I wish I was in Tiajuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I’d take requests on the telephone
I’m on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the dj
Can’t understand just what does he say?
Radio radio...

Well they probably don’t have planes with infrared flying over the whole country like we do.

They’re in the midst of putting together their first National Guard which is who is going after the “asylum seekers”

“Who would bother with Mexican pot?”

Folks in the ghetto love their $100/oz pot.

Though they’re probably getting high off the pesticides.

Winds in the east, mist coming in, / Like somethin’ is brewin’ and bout to begin. / Can’t put me finger on what lies in store, / But I fear what’s to happen all happened before.

this action pretty much just acts as price support for domestic growers ..
