Here's a
link to a story about cleaning out illegal pot farms in Los Padres National Forest.
Interesting, the raid was done by the county sheriff and not the Forest Service or other federal agency.
Also disturbing from the article (I made the bold italics):
"Along with 960 pounds of processed marijuana, deputies seized irrigation tubing,
fertilizers, various poisons, propane canisters, a ballistic vest and ammunition for a .45-caliber handgun, according to the sheriff's office.
More than
3,000 pounds of trash associated with the grow sites were removed from the national forest, the sheriff's office said."
Glad to see the county found some money in the budget to take care of this site. Unfortunately, these types of pot farms are all over. This raid is just a drop in the bucket, so to speak.
