It only took the NY Times YEARS to finally report on this problem!! People like Lou Dobbs & me have been trying to report what is going on with the MEXICAN destruction of our habitat...where were the whacked out enviros??? Probably getting payola from the cartels, like our politicians!
I love the last line....""As more pressure happens in California, they're going to start looking at Oregon, Nevada and Idaho," said Krogen, of the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew. "Then they'll start looking at the Southeast too, closer to distribution."
WELL! IT's all over Oregon and many other states and has been for years. They're just a bit behind!

“Save our Sierras” lol
more like a
“Save our Sinsemilla” plots
buy from a local cartel
Wow. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “high country.”
Prohibition has been such a smashing success, hasn’t it?
Just doing jobs Americans wont do. Isn’t multiculturalism wonderful you insane liberals?
I agree, amazing how long many have ignored its intrusion into federal and state lands. The stuff grows like weeds.. It is a weed. The state could use the revenue from a crop like this and a crop it is all the side discussions aside, it’s also obvious there are foreign markets hungry for it.
The fact that Mexican cartels support armies of growers makes it a real tough nut to crack, of late, there are no shortage of busts and arrests statewide with Mexican nationals involved.
“It’s easier to cross the border to grow marijuana on public lands than to grow it in Mexico and smuggle it across,” Krogen said.”
BUILD THE FENCE!
Also...not ALL of the growers are ‘illegal’....some have been found with USA issued ‘agricultural’ green cards!
I think the drug dealers deserve credit for taking the “green” approach to growing marijuana. Think of the energy savings of using natural sunlight instead of the wasteful electric energy or gas generators to power high-voltage lights in indoor hydroponic farms. The savings cost can be passed on to the consumer and they help save the planet at the same time!
More proof that if you are pro-illegal alien.....you are anti-American.....
This is embarrassing that we have Third World illegal alien drug dealers growing their dope on US SOIL!
So much for national security
Obviously we need real leadership....not Bush, McCain, Obama pandering to illegal aliens.
Because when Americans in places like Eastern Kentucky try to grow high quality MJ, the ATFE and the DEA are all over their a-ses like Barney Frank.
Legalize MJ, and SEAL THE BORDER!
These folks are darn lucky they didn't get "lost" in that remote area, never to be seen again.
Is one plant worth $3,500?
“buy from a local cartel”
They probably use illegals too.
“Prohibition has been such a smashing success, hasn’t it?”
That is an entire other subject. But it is ironic that weed is against US law and so is ILLEGAL immigration of armed drug cartel organized crime...but no one is doing much about that!
It sounds as though the drug cartels are getting into the spirit of Bammie’s “green jobs” gig. Maybe they’ll qualify for a “stimulus” package too.
No.
“Is one plant worth $3,500? “
Can be...around here they grow them 20 feet tall. And all the $$ is going to the Mexican economy, not ours.

until they enact a “shoot on sight” doctrine, it’s all kabuki for you consumption.
