Although California legalized the cultivation and sale of recreational cannabis, illegal marijuana farming continues in the state’s federal and state parks. These grow sites use rodenticide, a type of pesticide, that harms local wildlife. Putting their safety at risk, a team of biologists and law enforcement are pushing to dismantle these unauthorized weed grow sites found in California’s forests.

    What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

    *Wait, that’s illegal.*

    Just reduce the price of entry into the legal market and this wouldn’t happen. Make marijuana legally priced per pound the same as tobacco and there would no illegal public grows. Make the legal license to grow free.

    I have never met a respectable stoner or supplier. Those that argue for it to be legalised for recreational use are pure crackheads and monumentally stupid.



  21. EL-REMU YOUTUBE on September 20, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Heaven🤣🤣🤣



  22. Jerri on September 20, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Fact is the human race is not endangered. Animals are and comparing this to the veggies and fruits we eat is straight up mediocrity. We need them more than they need us.



  23. tonyt23 on September 20, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Keep it organic they raid the weed fields but protect the poppy fields I’ll let that sink in

    Whom ever legalicemarihuana needs to get out of california



  45. signal922 on September 21, 2021 at 12:21 am

    Listen, California wanted pot and they got it. They don’t care if some animals get killed, pot isn’t made from oil and doesn’t run afoul of the California Air Resources Board, so a few dead squirrels are of no concern.



  46. Odin Griffen on September 21, 2021 at 12:22 am

    Im 100 percent sure a plant does not at all harm the ecosystem. Im postive its your crackdown on that plant that causes the damage.



  47. Garrett Donalds on September 21, 2021 at 12:24 am

    Highway robbery😳



  48. K_Nasty FPV on September 21, 2021 at 12:26 am

    Why arent you telling the truth. That most of the locals would never do that. These illegal grows are done by cartels and real criminals.



  49. VueTube on September 21, 2021 at 12:30 am

    pesticides makers pay politicians millions to legally make harmful pesticide to sell it to the public. When the public use it’s suddenly BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? These morons are going after the end users, but NEVER the makers! If their job is to SAFE GUARD the environment, go after the big guys, otherwise you’re wasting tax payers money!!
