You would think with $10m a license is easy to get.
37 tons? Lol. They must’ve weighed the containers,dirt, and water. C’mon man. Anything to inflate the numbers, probably couple cops involved too.
Why is it illegal to grow plants ? I still don’t get it
Wonder how much weed and money will go missing while in police custody
…lol… that’s just one grow. If those guys had that setup they sure as hell have another one somewhere else.
Why you guys don’t looking for the people that making cigarette, so stupid
It should be illegal to treat some weed as legal and other as illegal. If this were a “dispensary” with money flowing into preferred hands, there wouldn’t be an issue. Ridiculous.
There are probably 1000 different types plants being grown in California. But weed is the only one causing problems? Give me a break.
Why are they keep calling marijuana a drug it’s a plant
Lmao the most greedy is the government not the people smh
Wow stop wasting taxpayers money and go after some real criminals
Where is the 💰 watches
Wow… worried about plant… Not the hundreds of pedophiles in Hollywood and Washington.
Every co need to lic growers or this is what you get! More problems because of the lack of local leadership!!! CA needs a blanket policy for every county to participate in legal growing vs people trying to make money! What a cluster fuck of lack of leadership! Medical cannabis not recreational! This is what you get!! More problems! Dumb ass CA people and I lived and grew up here! Lost leadership at local level is why!!!!
How the world can anybody celebrate killing plants and sending hard working people to jail
Free the weed
This is a prime example of why legalization doesn’t work decriminalization works though it’s just never been tried if you make it where the average person can do commerce everybody wins.
Those deputies aren’t green, they could have used electric chainsaws!
Imagine how many yields they got before this sheesh those guys are rich…
Hey dipshitz weed legal now
Cutting those trees down should be illegal
Come on pls
POT FARMER SONG $$
I got out my pipe and stuffed it with pot
You better believe, it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter and thumbed up a flame
Then sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
I tried alcohol; and smoked cigarettes
Though, they did nothing, but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis and couldn’t walk around
When I rolled her a joint, she danced on the ground.
I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
But, after I smoked some, to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
So I searched for some ground I wouldn’t have to buy.
I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Then, got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where the wild birds nest
And found me the meadow I thought was the best.
I dug up the ground and sowed all my seeds
Then said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
The mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.
Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in my camouflage suit
And used a corn knife to chop down the loot.
I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
Then came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, and stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.
In less than a week my crop was gone
But I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!
THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !

They know what they doing, marijuana is life medicine stop destroying our only good stuff in the world, it hurts me to see that, and people are free to smoke cigarettes and do pills
funny how all the Chinese drugs never get busted rid the opioid and you get rid of the drug problem.. simple start at the Dr office..
At least marijuana isnt addictive. The only time it’s addictive is if you already have an ailment that you need it to live now. So it’s not actually addictive you just become dependent on it to live.
Use the money for saving the water make projects . Soler power fight this new virus funds kick ass fixing problems
But pharmacies can hand out pills to everyone like they do🤦♂️American greed people
Legal/ illegal. Make up your minds.
Concentrate on fentanyl..
Water …….. if your worried about the water …..look at all the fields that have things left to rot here in the valley …….. Water is for the farmers ………
This is funny. Weed is legal but if the government isn’t making money then your fucked. I wonder how much money was missing???
I want to know when and where they’re burning it.
That’s why the world fucked up we worried about the wrong shit y’all better figure out the gun problem who cares about weed
Just part of that BUILD BACK BETTER program
nighas still worrying about weed BRUHH🤦🏽♂️
We want to stop drugs, but let’s keep the boarder wide open..🤣🤣🤣
So, pretty obvious that police are in the robbery business , placed to keep the oligarchy intact
The real criminals are the govt. theft of their money. Watches and destruction of property. It’s a plant. That has killed no one.
LEAVE POT ALONE THERES PLENTY OF REALLY FAKE DEADLY DRUGS OUTTHERE""FENTANYL, SPICE,METH"""@$$##%^’$$
You couldn’t wait to drive your gas-guzzling diesel news Vehicles there to get information
Notice they turned off the dislikes on this report 😂
Lol it’s never been legal 🤣
This is such bullshit! The only greed with marijuana is the governments greed! A plant that has so many medical benefits and the fact that it’s much better for us than alcohol shouldn’t be illegal to begin with! So much for being free/having freedom!!!
Land of the free home of the you better pay us some money or we coming to shut your business down…. because we can and then we’re gonna ask the feds if they are interested in a nonsense marijuana case that didn’t pay it’s taxes and during the drought do yall go to the hood an tell them stop flushing food down the toilet what a waste of taxpayers money.. or as a rich white man says, PEASANTS 💰 🤑 💸 🎶 🤔 🤪 💰 ruining families lives over a were gonna ask the feds if they wanna mess with it, yalls undercover are not doing their job if they getting grow ops flat out DUMMIES people are really dieing out here while yall playing with LARGEST ILLEGAL WEED OPERATION sounds more like mob rules in effect pay us or your out type of strategy…

What the heck ! Let em slide ! I’M CERTAIN IT’S BETTER THAN THE MONEY 💰💰💰💰💰 GOING TO
"MEXICO"
👍🇺🇸👍——–🚫🇹🇯🚫
Not a big crime they just did not pay taxes. Many companies do this legally paying the taxes. Im more interested about law enforcement officers doing human trafficking and other crimes like auto insurance fraud.
This is what happens when you legalized drug production!
When they don’t show the amount of dislikes, you know it’s embarrassing and people are tired of this dumb shit! Ruining people’s lives over such a harmless plant all for government greed. Look out for the new police cars an equipment they fixing to get from taking these peoples hard earned money.
When you could have helped more people
By letting the pot grow…..
