If you are a Medical Marijuana patient on the Central Coast its been hard to watch, but it’s been a busy week for the Santa Cruz and Monterey county C.A.M.P. folks let’s take a t look at their work. “ A drug cartel marijuana grow worth on Hecker Pass about $5 million got the axe Wednesday when Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies and state drug agents raided it, authorities reported.
The grow, on the 1000 block of Hecker Pass Road, was terraced across an acre and fenced off with mesh and netting, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies found more than 5,000 cannabis plants in the garden. There also was a camp with shotgun rounds, rat poison, pesticides and other debris, the Sheriff's Office reported.”
Also on Wednesday morning, an armed group of 16 state thugs wearing military camouflage took part in the annihilation of four illegal cannabis agricultural sites in the foothills above Watsonville. Of the four two were inside Mt. Madonna County Park, while the other two grows were on private property that borders the park.
Authorities collected approximately 20,000 cannabis plants on Wednesday. Still green and attached to their root balls.... dirt and all, and pegged it with an estimated street value between $25 and $30 million. This is just a sad attempt to justify next year’s budget with bad data, if they trimmed all of that plant matter down, to just the smoke able flower after drying it, as all do... it would have been a fraction of that weight.
The goon squad was part of an entity known as "Campaign Against Marijuana Planting" or CAMP, a program that has been destroying both “illegal” marijuana camps and medical marijuana grows throughout California since 1983.
The grow sites were located with old-fashioned reconnaissance patrols that take place between January and June.
