This waste of law inforcer work waste tax dollars
What would happen if all drugs were legal?… I’m not exactly sure I’ve never existed in that type of environment before as a human being
Fucx y’all San Bernardino ain’t got no jobs bro it’s really zombie land there fr and they just tryna make a living
San Bernardino has completely corrupt government. Disgusting 🤮🤮🤮🤮
OVER TAXATION AND REGULATIONS ARE THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THIS AND IT’S BY DESIGN
you do this in China they Kill ya,,,
This country is going to pot.
There plants bruh go get the krazy shit
While weed is legal in California, these illegal grow operations are deeply hurting the high desert communities.
-Water wells are drying up do to extreme usage for growing (wells cost an upwards of $20k to drill, most people cannot afford new ones)
-Banned chemicals are being illegally imported and used on marijuana crops, leaving even enforcement officers with rashes
-Many of these grows are illegally stealing power by bypassing meters
-The majority of the water is illegally hauled via IBC totes hauled on trucks and trailers (high desert dirt roads are not standing up to the constant back and forth)
-The majority of the grows are cartel linked, and are protected by weapons.
-Land owners and recreators are being threatened at gun point for coming withing close proximity to some grows
-There are no proper trash disposal locations for many of these sites since they are off-grid, the trash is thrown into the desert and blows around
-Land is being squatted on, or purchased for way over the asking price and is raising prices for everything, the majority of those in the high desert are low income
-Hundreds of travel trailers are being stolen and used as shelter, with their septic system being dumped into holes dug in the ground
There are many, many more reasons why residents are very angry about these grows.
Hand cuffs on an old lady, really?
A waste of taxpayers money
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 !

Do they feel good? Do they think they are really hurting the drug dealers????? They just took work for from 30-50 people who needed it…. cops feel bad ass….. sad
Why don’t you focus more on government illicit earnings.
Oh, sorry, your not allowed.
I only saw 1 Spanish speaker… why bring up Mexico. These are Asians
and they use piosion
Meanwhile cocaine and crystal meth flood our streets
Laughed so hard when she showed the living conditions. Looks like a regular living area with some trim buckets inside. Blankets folded up and floor is clean.
Yall need to chill let people grow smoke make few bucks I’m sure so many are hurt an inconvenienced from it
Johnny hempseed went all around California planting marijuana so frivolously
Needs to be tilted Police break up human trafficking encampment.
They are fighting weed growers. Oh my God. They are not worried about those people health. This about the federal and state government can’t get there cut. If it was hard drugs then you raid and report that. 😲
Make it legally and pay taxes because they will turn around and do it again. Somehow the law is only targeting the small fish and let the high fish free.
This is such a waste of time. Oh no the devil’s lettuce
Free the weed. Free the people.
Do something about the people shitting in the street and robbing people. Can’t even protect yourself… the uneducated unintelligent are the ones telling us what we can and can’t do.
1000 a lb ? Shit they like 700 now
So what, leave em alone! At least the product has some economic benefit to the US.
Wow these weed growers are so dangerous omg! Yea right it’s a fucking plant leave these people alone an go put ny taxes towards all the people cooking meth an heroin! Who cares about pot
You drove jobs and industry out of San Bernardino county decades ago. Now people have to grow marijuana to survive if not leave the state which many people are doing.
GOOD a lot of these are drug cartels and deserve to be destroyed. hope the sheriff can get rid of that prop which reduces the penalty for this. Legal weed doesn’t mean unregulated weed – to all the people that support this.
Dangerous operations unless you get a license from the govt.
Don’t complain if you voted Democrat
Thier driving it out thier county that place probably boring anyway drive everyone out there leave them to themselves not even busting real criminals
This segment did a real shit job in showing the actual destruction these operations cause. The amount of destroyeded habitat and trash these places generate is unbelievable. It’s not the product that’s the issue but all the criminal and environmental damage caused to get it. Also the fact that this is happening in desert terrain makes it less obvious but it’s a dry climate version of slash and burn.
1000 a LB LOL those are 4-5 hundred MAX these days
They took all the weed to resold them at stores👎🤣🤣😂😂
BS. It’s the poor people in the desert trying to earn a living.
All that hard work and costs for misdemeanor’s
Looks like an honest business. And it’s a permit issue at best .
A plant cannot be illegal. Cannabis is a plant sacred to Humanity. Governments that criminalize it are ILLEGAL and ILLEGiTIMITE. Period.
fuck them God dam fucking up the money for American growers
Sounds like Marcelo Rola in Monterey CA
Whoever operated this sting is lame as hell for this. My money should go to better causes.
Grateful for the San Bernardino Sheriff’s dept for their efforts and agree with them 100%. We have a neighbor that is an illegal marijuana grower and they were raided a few weeks ago. Stench from the illegal growth was getting unbearable. Also, random people in/out of the property, aggressive dogs loose, flashing lights into our property in middle of the night, constant surveillance of our property so they can see who is coming and threatening actions towards us when tending to our own property borders. No septic so they defecate on the hill in buckets in plain view….it has been a nightmare. No business license and in an illegal grow area. Why don’t they go to areas where it is legal and pay their dues for running a business? Why are they ruining quiet residential neighborhoods?
That shit all god bud rot and spider mites lmao
Legalize It and that’s it.
Those trimmers have sharp scissors… mad criminals smh 🤦
Wanna arrest people hiding in the desert but wont arrest robbers an killers in los angeles
BIDENS open border America…
