Pot seizures grow as planting spreads
Marijuana market profits from poor economy
    Barbourville, Ky. -- Machete-wielding police officers have hacked their way through billions of dollars worth of marijuana in the country's top pot-growing states to stave off a bumper crop sprouting in the tough economy.
    The number of plants seized has jumped this year in California, the nation's top marijuana-growing state, while seizures continue to rise in Washington after nearly doubling the previous year. Growers in a three-state region of central Appalachia also appear to have reversed a decline in pot cultivation over the past two years. [...]
    The number of plants destroyed in California has increased over the past three years, said the assistant chief of the California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, Kent Shaw. The total increased from 4.9 million plants in 2007 to 5.3 million in 2008. Already this year, Mr. Shaw said, California authorities have exceeded last year's total.

American Patrol Report Comment: As the above chart shows, the number of marijuana plants eradicated in the U.S. closely followed the construction of border fencing and barriers. The Blackout of American Border Patrol by the Mainstream Media, including the Washington Times, deprives American of the truth about the drug war.
