Illegal pot farms in Northern California's Emerald Triangle facing raids
Three Northern California counties have been ground zero for the state’s pot production for decades. Illegal grows are hidden on federal lands and often run by Mexican drug cartels. Now that the state is regulating cannabis they’re on notice to clean-up their act, or shut down. Full story here: https://abc7ne.ws/2yzgNEO.

A corporate criminal enterprise would rape the earth. We see you Corporate devils.
Throw them in the slammer! Good, NO mexico drug cartel in USA California. We don’t want that here. I’m not even white. Tell them go back to Mexico!
Woww near a samon area
Ya kept showing the same camp site and it was from a few years ago. I want to know why hasn’t it been cleaned it up. I guess because they can still making money on trash Dam blood suckers! ✌️
The feds NEED to ban it, all pot has done is create a place where a large CRIMINAL empire to thrive and DESTROY lands communities and property values and FAMILY values prop 215 was pushed through by DIRTY POLITICIANS AND THE CARTELS WHO PAID THEM OFF TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
How many times did they show the same pile of garbage at the pot grow, and then show an extremely quick flyover of a recently logged area? There’s no question that the forrests are being trashed, but let’s keep it in perspective.
Decriminalization would cure this. Allow people to grow thier own with no problems and the price goes down so its not worth selling anymore.
Should have left the hippies alone up there prohibition caused criminals to fill the void once they run the hippies off
that mf reporter is no joke my fucking father LMAO 💀😂 hey, daddio, good shit, dawg 💯
What did they do with the $3 million? A little bonus?
They are growed bye the cop’s and wildlife
THE MEX CARTELS ARE BAD
I would hid that 3 mill not by the plants cmon you guys
Fuckery
Yes.. Mexican Drug Cartels … find them and LOCK EM UP..!!
Yeah you take all the cannabis all the natural shit That can decompose And you leave all the trash you guys how stupid
This is all bs, like the logging industry isn’t doing the absolute devastating damage.
Seems like the government doesn’t care about the chemicals and garbage either, after 2 years it’s still there, they’re just eliminating the competition.
such bullshit.. aalso seized 3mill cash n invest 2.5 into more programs?.. lol
Well when the finish raiding a place they should clean up afterwards. They love to go in and destroy someone’s home for no reason. Maybe it’s time they learn that their actions have consequences.
NO THEY ARE TAKING LEGAL PERMITTED GROWS TOO!!!!!!!!!!
These reports are HILARIOUS. Bunch of squares talking about .5% of the actual operations and playing up their enforcement because it pays for their jobs. lol
notice they say legal ones are ok. illegal one cause no more impact on the earth than legal one indoor ones actually impact the earth more than one next to some salmon
OLD TIME GROWERS DO NO REALTHE LAND LIKE THAT IT IS THE CARTELS THAT DESTROY THE LAND
What about the bodies?
Its leaking. Toxic shit for a year and thay didnt clean it up after the bust fuckery. But thay make a news report about it
Dirty Hippies and their evil dope !!
Geez lucky there are no 600 pound African lions there.
Here is how you fix it : regulate it like tomatoes 🍅
It’s 🐃 💩 that bad growers are giving GR8 farmers bad names smh IF Your finna grow cannabis at minimum take care of the wildlife/environment idgaf about having a black market "non compliant grow," what i care about is harming our national parks, our wildlife, & beautiful wilderness with hazardous waste, toxins, & illegal chemicals that are damaging our forests and killing our precious & priceless wildlife!
I love how the story points to Mexican drug cartels growing but in the exact same piece they show mug shots of 3 whites lol
