Illegal marijuana farms ravage America's national forests
Some of America’s most pristine forests are under assault by illegal marijuana cultivation that is ravaging the environment. Federal narcotics agents destroyed more than 1.4 million marijuana plants last year, according to the U.S. Forestry Service, and thousands of pounds of trash and numerous toxic chemicals were also removed. John Blackstone reports.

Muerte a la gorra
Tax dollars being wasted as usual!
The cartels growing it they even got a song about it
Your channel name is wrong.not cbs this morning,thc this morning is most correctly👌👌👌
just legalize it prob solved
I sure hope those pesky marijuanna gardens where the poison oak and rattle sneaks live arent harming the precious fire ant hills too
Manga bobo😂
What a waste of taxes. Thousands of plants found and carried out by helicopter in small bushels to be "destroyed." Seems like a complete waste of labor that could go to something worthy
Their straight up waring military uniforms to cut down a plant 🌱
Smoke that shiddd
RAVAGE! OMG NOT RAVAGED
This is why it should be legalised.
if you would make it legal you wouldn’t have destroy it
Imagine going in a hike and a huge bug falls from the sky and take you out…
✌🏿More about the environment ✌🏿
Weed was here before us humans so STFU with this
Ik everyone gets mad at this but like I have a hunting ranch and it is very annoying when there’s gorilla grows all over and they poach all the deer and stuff, marijuana isn’t bad it just brings bad people
Oh no illegal tomatoes make you destroy the environment.
Just let me have my damn plant
"Unfortunately we didn’t ruin peoples lives but we did destroy there livelihood"
its ok to grow corn for whiskey but not cannabis for medicine
these people are just helping providing oxygen to the world and Danger the Forrest Ranger says NO
Using helicopters and rope for a natural growing seed bird brains armed with our tax dollars at work.
Eliminate police and make the military the new way to enforce our country law.
I grow in forest, and I’m using organic fert plus I dont cut trees. I even colect all debris I find in forest.
2:26 Yea, this was obviously planted, because nobody is putting that stuff on or around Cannabis plants.
Edit: I guess it could have came from someone who had nothing to do with Cannabis Growing operations, just a weird place to find a bottle of that stuff all around.
Illegals.
Just put Fortunate Son and you have a mission
Ravage 😂 it’s just a plant
its a good drug u idiots u guys r just wasting ur time go back to the place youll see they grow more
We are paying our taxes for these idiots to hunt growers.
BS
Gå å skyt dere selve
They didn’t put out the $ for nutrients or the time I think the DEA are losers that doesn’t have anything to do with thier lives but ruin every one elses
it is a crime against nature and humanity to destroy something so healing that you do not understand out of ignorance and fear
Is funny how they come wen the crops are ready to harvest
Damage to the forest and environment?? Not at all… the police would be better off trying to catch heroin and cocaine manufacturers….
Poison Oak??
I think it would be a upgrade TBH think about going to a forest and finding free weed that would be amazing
Thank
Awesome stay Cool
People of the society that is all about the government, disgust me. People will never stop growing or smoking cannabis. It have been that way for decades and your controlling government will never stop it.
Funny how our government can’t find money to fix pot holes but they can pay people to fly helicopters, search for, and destroy PLANTS that people actually WANT.
Shout out to all the gurrilla growers
thank god this dangerous plants are being removed
It use to grow naturally 2

Restarted agent I hate them for this actions plants are natural you idiots
