Raid seizes 29,000 Plants

[i l l m a t i c]

Federal, state and county law enforcement officers have stolen more than 29,000 marijuana plants on the major islands, including about 10,000 from a site on Molokai. They also found 36 pounds of processed marijuana and arrested 6 people for drug promotion during a 10-day Green Harvest operation.

 

DEA special agent Randy Wagner, who coordinated the operation, said some of the marijuana plants were found on public lands, in state and federal parks and state forests, but that most were found on private land. More than 1/3 of the plants came from a single site on a private estate on Molokai, Wagner said.

 

U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo said Green Harvest is a year-round effort. The last sweep of marijuana plants statewide was in 2002.

Here are the numbers of marijuana plants seized by county in the Green Harvest operation:

 

    * Kauai: 253

    * Honolulu: 1,503

    * Maui: 16,869

    * Hawaii: 10,418

Definitely a pity. My druggie friend in LA has said that the city is dry of a lot of drugs. But more weed will come in from other places.
